THAT WOOL BILI.

In its latest form Mr.. Springer's wool
bill not only abolishes the specific duties,
but cuts the maximum ad yalorem rate
10 10 per cent. on the highest grades. Ii
is a simple matter of arithmetic that
such bill on the basis Of last years inn
portations would reduce the revenues
from wool alone by the sum Of $1,000, 600.
The total value of the importations Of
woolen goods in the year ending June 30,
1891, was Sl0,6S0,2 ,210. If the importa-
tions under the new law should not in
crease beyond normal ratio, and if a
uniform rate of 40 per cent. should be
collected on all goods instead of 80, so
and % per cent, as proposed for many
grades, the total revenue TO be expected
under the weelea schedule would not
exceed SIG, 6,2J0, ,000-a loss Of revenue as
compared with the year ending June 80,
1890, under the 1888 tariff, of 81, 1Ss, 900.
The Springer bill contemplates, there
fore, total cut of not less than SOS, ,000,
coo from the governments income.
The way the agile Mr.. Springer
lodges these facts is characteristic of his
buoyant mind. at won't make much
more than $10,0O0,OOO difference" he
says, airily, ignoring calculations, ''in
the revenue. You see, there's sure to be
a simply enormous increase III importa-
tions, and so the new rates will yield
nearly as much money as the old ones. !"
If the increase should not be "enor-
NOUS" Mr.. Springer, how about that
depleted treasury? If it should. how
about the domestic manufacture of
woolens: You're between Scylla and
Charybdis, Mr.. Springer; disaster yawns
on either side.

THE cosr OF A STATE HOUSE.


The cost of Rhode Islands new State
House is likely TO be fruitful source of
discussion between now and the making
of the contracts. Already there have
been ventilated some premature esti-
mates from certain self-constituted
authorities, to which the retort called
out from Beau Brummel when Lord
Manley declared him "no gentleman
might be apropos. you're no judge"
returns the Beau. The simple fact
about the cost of new State House is
that the people of Rhode Island will de-
mand good thing and will be willing
to pay for it. AS to just the figure the
cost will reach, the News is not prepared
TO estimate, not being in the construct
itfr, Strife tfursc commission
remarked, in their report to the Assem-
bly, last year, that the expenditure of n
million dollars by Rhode Island at this
time is an outlay in proportion to that
of man worth 1000 expending SO for
a building in which to transact his bust
ness. That is not unreasonable.
Rhode Island must have new State
House-no one argues that point. 1t
must be big enough to contain certain
floor space for legislative halls and for
administration Offices and there must
be safety vaults for our archives. There
is no question as to this. The building
must be substantially freproof. No one
would have it otherwise Now, how
much will it cost? Wei, we can build
it of brick and finish it in soft pine put
in deal furniture, ingram carpets on the
floors and paper at five cents roll on
the walls, and get ont of it easily inside
half million. On the other hand, we can
build it of Rhode Island granite. put il.
Mexican onyx wainscoting, and inlay
silver dollars adown the corridors like
famous Cycago barber shop and the
building could be easily made To cost
from three TO four millions. The News
believes that Rhode Island people will
have nothing of the cheap and nasty any
more than they will Of the extravagant
about their State House. A substantial
elegant building that will be monu-
ment to good taste and good Judgment
for n century or more will be built. and
the people OF Rhode Island will cheer
fully pay the cost of acquiring it. And
that's all there is to it.
