THE TREASURY SURPLUS

Secretary WINDOWS rejection Of $50 $1,000
Of the per cent bonds offered at 1 80 is con-
sidered in some quarters important evidence as
to his future policy with regard to the use OF
the surplus. The price named was higher than
that reached after months Of constant purchas-
ing Of the per cents by Secretary Fairchiid
last fall, which led him TO discontinue buying
those bonds altogether. 1t would have been
strange IL Secretary Window had concluded TO
begin with price as high as that which Secre-
tary Fairchild finally refused to pay. But be-
yond the obvious inference that he does not
mean to be crowded by speculative rings into
the payment of unreasonable prices, there Is
nothing as yet TO indicate the policy no means
to pursue.
The disposition Of tho surplus may perhaps
occasion less difficulty during the rest Of the
year than many have expected. There are
numerous decisions presently to be made by the
Department respecting the Interpretation OF
the tariff which may materially affect tho
amount Of imports and Of the revenue from
customs. A decision in harmony with the evil
dent intent Of the law respecting duties on
wool and woolens would II is believed, cause
o great decrease in imports, and consequently
in revenue. Whether the law is so drawn as
TO admit Of q construction in harmony with its
purpose Is, Of course, O question for the legal
authorities But ii is right to assume that the
Secretary will give to the statute an interpreta-
ton as favorable TO the intention Of its trainers
as he can This will undoubtedly form dis
tinguishing and radical difference between the
policy Of this and Of the last Administration.
President Cleveland and his Secretary sys-
tenatcally interpreted the law as far as pos
sible contrary to the intention Of the Protec-
tionists who framed It, while President Har-
rison and Secretary Window will undoubtedly
endeavor, as far as their legal authority extends.
to give full effect to the protective purpose Of
the law.
There is considerable number Of appeals to
the Secretary Of questions OF this nature, which
may probably be decided before long, each Of
which will affect the revenue. 1t Is not i'm
possible that these decisions may so reduce the
surplus, at least for the present, as to make an
important difference in the amount Of bond
purchases required before the next session Of
Congress. But there is In addition another re-
course which should not be overlooked. The
amount Of paper in circulation Of various kinds
is now remarkably large. 1t is so large that,
in the judgment Of some competent financiers.
the likelihood OF gold exports is thereby ma
terially increased. The Secretary has no power
to contract the circulation, but he has dis
cretionary power as TO the amount Of bonds
purchased within the first half Of the coming
fiscal year. II he should see fit largely TO In
crease the amount Of paper currency held in the
Treasury, it is quite possible that the supply
in actual use would still BIO found adequate for
all the requirements Of business.

The fork must 60. That is the ultimatum OF
the latest school Of reform which has arisen In
Boston. The heroic souls who are enlisted In
the movement have come to the conclusion that
the knife con cultivate social relations with the

can. They have highly resolved, therefore, that
they will not rest from their labors until they
