RED UCING THE SURPLUS.

Mr.. Cannon, chairman OF the House
appropriations committee, warned the
House last week that it wa appro.
priating money recklessly, and that
upon the Republicans rested the re-
eponsibility OF so changing the rules
ms to facilitate ~log-rolling raids on the
Treasury. More recently, Mr.. j. NJ.
Carson, clerk of the ways and mean
committee, in n dispatch TO the Phil
Hdelphia Ledger has prepared the

Voorhees, on Protection.

A dispatch dated Washington,

In tho Senate to-day Voorhees,,
speaking on his resolution concerning
the agricultural depression, character
lied tho protective tariff as Il curse.
Farmers in the United States to-day
did not receive on au average moro
than ten cents n bushel for corn, fifty
cents for wheat AMI two to three
ccnta u pound for hogs. Every pre-
tense OF n homo marie. Tor the farnS:
was a fraud, and every protense OF
taxing wheat and oats and pota-
toes for his benefit was q cheat and a
sham. Improved farm lands to-day
under the most favorable circum.
stances would not on n general avcr-
age realize more than two-thirds OF
what their value had been % years
ago. Ohio farms now under mort
gnge amount to S~300,0O0,O00. In
Illinois % per cent. OF the whole face
OF the State was under mortgage
amounting to s4O2,O0o,0Oo. Forty
soven por cent. of the State OF Mich.
igan was under mortgage. In Indi-
ana, kentucky, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska and tho whole Northwest
from 20 to 80 per cent. Of tho farm
lnnds were under mortgages Mt such
rates OF interest rs farmers could
never pay out Of their crops. The

The Weeks Business and the Outlook. as
Reported by r. G. Dunn & Co.
New YORK, June 21.-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly report say:
Another week has brought still better
crop prospects, a continued increase in the
volume of business, more definite assur-
ancc of the passage of the Tariff bill with its
essential features unchanged and therefore
more confidence in those Industries which
look for help from that measure On the
other hand, the passage of Free Silver
Coinage bill in the Senate has raised some
doubt whether the two houses may not
finally disagree. Expectations based on
currency expansion are, therefore, q little
less confident. But the money markets
work easily everywhere, and the continued
exports of gold as yet cause neither disturb
ance nor apprehension. Reports from all
parts of the country continue encouraging.
Chicago has receipts exceeding the last year
in grain, meats, hides and WOOL and larger
sales of dry goods; the fall trade opens
well, and the trade is excellent, and in gem
eral the prospect is good for more than the
usual fall trade. St Louis reports trade of
large volume in nearly all lines,
with prospects improving Minneapolis
lumber manufacture surpasses previous
seasons. though the flour demand is weak,
and st. Paul notes better trade with bright
prospects Better weather and brighter
crop prospects stimulate trade in all drec-
tiOns, and collections are good. The great
industries are awaiting action in Congress
which is by many expected to give them a
new impetus. But iron is fairly steady.
The wool market shows some signs of re-
action. The cotton manufacture was the
departure of artificial speculative prices for
cotton. The business in hides, leather and
boots and shoes is active and promising,
with better prices. There Is stronger tone
in the coal market with expectation of
an advance in prices July l. The state
of foreign trade is fair for the
season. The earnings of railroads continue
very large, and reflect the great increase in
business throughout the country, as do the
clearings through banks outside New York
which exceed last years for the latest week
by 106 per cent.
