proportionately. Prices are paid at slight
advance on market quotations. for present
or future delivery, when necessary to Sc
cure a desired purchase. The field of
operations is confined to the wheat pro-

the higher grades of the cereal are taken.

How to Use the Surplus.
''Thc fact Of a treasury surplus. the
amount of which is variously stated, has d.
rected public attention to q consideration of
the methods by which the national income
may best lie reduced to the level of a wise
and necessary expenditure. This condition
has been seized upon by those who are hos
tile to protective custom duties as an ad-
vantagcous bare Of attack upon u tariff
laws. They have magnified and nurscd the
surplus which they affect to dcprcciate,
seemingly for b purpose of exaggerating
the evil in order to reconcile the people to
the extreme remedy they propose. A
proper reduction Of the revenue docs not
ncccssitate and should not suggest the
abandonment or impairment of the protect
i've system. The methods suggested by our
convention will not need to be exhausted in
order to effect the necessary reduction. We
arc not likely to be called upon, l think, to
make a present. choice between the sllrrcn-
der OF our protective system and the entire
repeal of the internal taxes. Such q con-

expenditures to revenues, Il remote. The
