verse, postponing all things-celes-
tial and terrestrial-until the surplus
revenue shall be got rid of. The
existence of the surplus revenue
has been q constant occurrence be-
| fore and since the close of the war.

steady improvement in financial con.
ditions. Larger surpluses had fre.
quently been dealt with wisely by
Republican administrations, by {
reduction or repeal of taxes. These
simple remedies had been applied
on mainly such articles as could no
be produced here and did not come
into competition with domestic in
dustry. With that kind of free
trade he was in sympathy.
