that demands maximum force TO
do The MINI mum of work. If there
is any really busy department at
Washington il is the navy depart

a force less than fighting strength
of an army corps, has substantially

Mr.. Secretary Proctor finds ex-

The number of sheep in the
United States has fallen off over
100000 since the tariff on wool
was reduced in 1888. The demo-
cratic members of the Ono legis-
lature protested against that re-
ductlon, and pledged the honor OF
their plrty that the duty should
be rstorcd to the old figures. They
did not keep their pledge, but
haye, instead, advocated the re-
moval of all duties on wool. The

TIE GOVERNMENTS receipts to day from
customs amounted to 1869 GIG; for inter
nal revenue to $773,S31. The latter sum
was all that was exacted from the people by
the internal revenue tax, and nearly all OF
it was paid by those who either were, or
who suppc sad themselves to be,rich enough
to Indulge In luxuries, and the payment of
which was therefore voluntary. 1t was en-.
tirely different, however, with the former.
Ttat wes only about one fifth of the amount
exacted by the tariff. the remaining four.
fiftbs going into the pockets of the rich owners
OF protected mines and factories, and nearly
the whole of it being paid by poor people,
as the existing tariff is a tax levied almost
exclusively upon the necessaries of life,
which the poor must use in order to live'
and as as the ratio of poor to rich people is
about as thousand to one. An income
tax aud proper internal revenue tax
would raise all the money requisite for
government 9 ,onomically administered.
