The poetical saying, IMAM wants but

laughed at and burlesqued, is, neverthe-

A CONDITION. SURE ENOUGH.

There VIII He n Deficit I'm the Treasury,
Not Surplus, This Year.
The original estimate by tho Treasury
Department of the Governments revenue
for the present fiscal year was $685.
Last year the revenue in round numbers
was 1919, 000, 900. In the fiscal year 1887
1t was $371 200. 900. In the fiscal year
1886 it was 1885,. 000,000 aslp
We have already the figures Of the
Government receipts from all sources dur
ing the months of July, August and Sep
TENDER, constituting the first quarter of
the fiscal year 1889. The quarters reve-
nue. amounted to only $97, 526, 252. against
$102, 1928. 396 for the corresponding period
last year.
In view of this marked and significant
decline of nearly 81, eco, 600 in the govern.
ment's income during u single quarter, we
understand that some OF the longest
headed authorities in the treasury are now
disposed to reduce their estimate of the
years receipts by about $4,000. 900; thus
bringing down the total from 1888. 0O0. 900
to $3.50. Coo
That would reduce the surplus this year
to about $4,000. 000, or only one one.
third per cent, margin above the total of
appropriations for tho year. even suppos.
ing that the revenue from the postotIice
comes up to the estimated amount. $751;
564, 600
In a surplus of between five aSd six
millions for the year. calm minded fnan-
ciers will perceive no presage of the fi2an-
cial convulsion and widespread disaster
which Mr.. Cleveland predicted in Decep-
Der last.
But now let us see what ground there
IL for expecting even so small surplus
as IS, 500. coo this year, ard not deficit.
The receipts for the first quarter are
known. They amount to $97, 526, 252.
The experience of past years shows
definite and toler;lbly constant ratio be-
tween the first quarters receipts and
those of the whole twelve months. We
are surprised that it has been overlooked
The first three months of the fiscal year
bring in considerably more than one
fourth of the years revenue. Just how
much more it is easy to ascertain by a
mathematical process.
In 1883 tho first quarters revenue was
about 23.2 por cent. of the years receipts.
In 1854 it was about 27.5 per cent. In
1885 about 1913 per cent In 1886 nearly
26 per cent. In 1887 nearly &c per. cent.
again In 1885 just % per cont. On an
average of the past six years % per cent.
of the years revenue comes in during
July, August and September.
The receipts Of the first quarter Of the
fiscal year 1880 are % Per cent. of $751;
100000, and they therefore indicate that
sum as the total revenue Of the govern
ment for the present fiscal year, outside
of postal returns.
With tho estimated postal revenue Of
S57,5C0, coo the aggregate income would
amount to S41S, 50OCC0 But the appro-
priation bills for the year already signed
by Mr.. Cleveland or in his hands for up
prevail, amount to G422, eco, 000 This
means an actual deficit Of SO 100000 or
S4,000,000 instead of any surplus, how
ever small.
That is the condition which confronts
us.-Ncw York Sun (Dem.)

1t Is certain that the arguments which
President Cleveland urges are those which
Golden used to employ forty five years
ago and which any free trader could en-
ploy now.-Iondon Times.
For American party purposes the presi-
dent feels compelled to characterize the
attempt to brand him as free trader as a
deception of his enemies For all that the
electoral CONFLICT now in progress is con.
fict betwedh free trade and protection.

President Cleveland's message to con-
gress will not fail to attract the attention
which it deserves. 1t marks the begin
ming OF q serious movement in the direc-
ton of free trade. Manchester Examiner
and Times.
They (tho Democrats) have. from what
ever motive, resolved to adopt q free trade
policy.-Saturday Review.
The reelection of President Cleveland
means the adoption of his programme Of
tariff revision, and his ideas on that sub
ject go long way toward free trade
London Star,
Mr.. Cleveland stands upon free trade
principles. or what pass for such in tho
states, while Gen. Harrison flies the pro-
tectionist fag.-London Globe.
President Cleveland has been accused of
having shrunk from carrying through his
free trade policy which he then advocated.
The accusation is unjust His letter
proves that he is still favorable to the
policy which he advocated in his message
to congress. He does not call it free
trade; but neither did he then The ex-
preston is too unpopular in America to be
safely employed. If President
Cleveland and the Democratic party can
have their way they probably care very
little whether they are deba,led from the
use of the phrase free trade. The strength
Of the protectionist feeling in the United
States is SO great that no politician could
safely disregard it.-English Saturday
Review, Sept. Is.
From The Congressional Record; The
attitude of the friends Of tic Mills bill is
plainly shown by this colloquy at the
close of the debate upon it:
Mr.. McComas rep HAS any friend of
this bill in this debate uttered one sen.
tence in favor Of the American tariff sys.

home producer and laborer?
Mr.. Hooper dem. mo, there was no

Can any Democrat deny, in the face of

furnished by Democrats or Democratic
sympathizers, that the present struggle
is between free trade and protection?

BIT OF FUTURE HISTORY.
In the White House reservation known as Wash

Roamed very famous scientist, fond of geologic,
And one day, as he was chipping through the
strata of the rocks
That surround tho reservation, with a few we'll
chosen knocks,
He detached an unique specimen that bore q fossil
face
And with his various lenses its age he tried to
place;
Then hied him home and took book from out his
learned store,
And traced its characteristics back till he could
trace more.
And then within his cabinet his relic rare he laid
And on its skull he gummed q slip, and this IT,

Some Figures.

The amount received by the United
States government for customs for the
year ending June 80, 1887. was $204, 49,
2S0.53. This amount the Mills bill re-
duccs by additions to tho free list of $685.
100000 and by reductions in the tariff
rates $50 COO, 000--a total of So, 2J0, 900.
This Latter amount Is 25l per cent. of the
total amount of customs revenue. show
ing that the Mills bill, instead of making
reduction Of per cent in tariff rates,
makes one of five times 5 per cent. If
from tho total Of receipts for customs we
deduct the amount of revenue from the
proposed additions to the FREQ list, and
from tho article of sugar, VIC have total
of S114, 000, COO in round numbers. The
amount Of reduction of the tariff rates on
the articles which mako up this amount,
proposed by the Mills bill, is about $751;
O00,0C0, which is an average Of over 1874
per cent. reduction in tariff rates by the
Mills bill on articles which enter intoc com
petition with those OF home manufacture.
