1t will be some what amusing for Re-
publicans this fall to hear Democrats
on the stump praise the economy Of
the Democratic party in the session OF
Congress just closed. But they will do
It. A Democratic speaker could not
help talking in favor of economy no
matter how much money his party had
spent. II they do make this boast, 1t
will only be necessary for the Republi-
cans to point to the appropriation bills
passed by the present Congress, now
happily adjourned, to show how
empty the boast Ia. When Republi.
cans told the Democra that they
would need $685., 0OO, 900, to carry Oh
the Government, the assertion was met
with derislon. But how far wrong
was this prediction? How much did
the Democrats appropriate? Here are
the figures. $3.50. 6S4, 287. What now
becomes OF an economic Democratic
administration? Secretary Manning
has estimated tine revenues for the
present fiscal year at $685., $40 252 Il
requires but to exercise the simple
rule OF subtraction to show that there
must be deficiency at the least OF
$2l ,l42, 035 At such a rate OF expen
diture 1t is useless to debate over whai
to do with the surplus in the Treasury
The Democrats will find place for i
soon enough. A proper question t.
ask here Is what would have been tn,
deficiency had the Morrison tariff bill
have become law?

The oleomargarine Bill.

WAsHINGToN, August 6 Senator
Miller says the motion that the o co
margarine bill was emasculated in the
Senate, or materially weakened any
way, ia without foundation. While the
farmer has liked upon a fve-cent tax,
and while he worked hard to secure it,,
still the rate of taz WAS not the impoI-
tant feature of the bill.
The evil sought to be cured was the
practice OF putting on the market under
tbe guise and in the name of butter D
variety of fraudulent limitations. The
m achinery devised TO prevent this, Sena.
tor Miller says,is retained in all its Wig
or in the bill as it bt came a law
|Oleomargarine and all limitations of
butter must henceforth be put in stamp.
ed and branded Packages, and must
stand on their own merits. The penal
ties for violation are severe, and the
machinery for the detection of evasion
and for the enfol cement of the law IL az
near perfection as the experience Ct the
Internal Revenue Department could
Invent.
One incidental but very important re-
suit OF the passage of the act, he says,
will be the aid 1t will furnish to State
authorities to carry out their own laws
on the subject. Heretofore, however
stringent the State law might have
been, 1t has been extremely difficult
often impossible, to execute it, by rea-
son Of the fact that limitations OF buttel
made In neigh boring States could CONT
across the border unchallenged, and
there was no way except by chemics
analysis both expensive and slow-t
detect fraud.
Under the new law the agents of tn
Internal Revenue Bureau will see to l
that ths limitations of butter are STANG
ed and branded for what they are, an,
he tax OF cents, while not all tina
WAS desired, Is amply sufficient to &C
complish the purpose
