In dealing with the condition of the
treasury he claims that the year left on
hand a surplus of s9.9I4.0 900. the differ
ence between S425. S6s, coo receipts and
S4i5, a55. 900 expenditures. He argUes
that it was much better to spend the
surplus than to leave it in tho treasury
or deposit IL in banks without interest
lie forgets to add, however. that near
" the whole of the available surplus
on his DO. LIS has consisted of such de-
posits.
In his reference to the report of the
secretary of state he develops some
further facts in his anti-Canadian pol
lev and recommends the establishment
of communication between the lakes
and seaboard independently of the st.
Lawrence.
In his long and pressing comments on
the affairs of other departments he
writes only what he would naturally
be expected to say.
The message is spoiled by mass of
badly-digested statistics which deprive
it of all dignity. reducing it to the
level of the report of special agent Of
the census. Take it all in all, it is, per-
haps. the poorest and dullest message
Mr.. Harrison ever wrote.
His conclusion is characteristic. He
cannot forget the civil war sectional
ism. and in reasserting his position on
the force bill he supplements it by rec
ommending that sheriffs at the south
do something to stop lynchings-more
especially the lynching of negroes As
he is not charged by the constitution
to make recommendations to the coun-
ty sheriffs this stands simply for re-
assertion of radical animosity towards
the states thus singled out to bear the
odium of charge of lawlessness made
from the white house in state paper
to remain forever of record. 1t is
in keeping with the character of the
man that these should be his closing
words to the American people.-St-

A Clear Case.

Any system of taxation that cripp!es
business in New York or drives capital
away, will lower rents while 4 system
that promotes prosperity will increase
the rental value of land far beyond the
amount of increased taxes on land and
houses proposed by the promoters of
this new movement. Hence. in asking
that all taxes shall be levied on real
estate, real estate people are not pro
posing any sacrifice of their own inter-
ests-Standard, n. Y. City.

The Case in a Nutshell.

The practical effect of many of out
taxation laws is to drive property out
of the state and prevent the develop
.nent of property in the state. Many
manufacturers have been moved to New
Jersey and elsewhere because of our
wrong-headed tax laws, and many cer-
tiicates of wealth are held outside the
state to escape the tax laws.
If this association can do anything to
systematic the tax laws or bring them
nearer to n scientific basis. the state
should be very much obliged to them

ESTIMATED APPROPRIATIONS.
$3.50. 9166n3

Total $3.50. 976.693 S421, 6122 PIG
We print the two estimates in full,
firs., because they confirm all that was
said Il year ago in criticism of Foster;
second, because they show precisely
where the responsibility for increased
expenditures rests: and third. because
they disclose the existence of the deficit
in the treasury, created by the repub
lican party. which it has hitherto tried
to cover ND.
The estimates printed before the
presidential election in round numbers
were SGo. 600. 600 short of the estimates
printed since the election, which are
somewhere near the facts A year ago
the Harrison administration wished
the people to believe that their govern
rent was frugally administered. The
people have voted that they know bet
ter; they have seen through the decep-
ton. and the administration can no
longer keep it mp, if it tried.
1t will he noted that the increase is
almost entirely IN the TENS of pen
sions, SEQ. 600. 600. and permanent an
nual appropriations. SO. 600, 900. In
these expenditures the democratic con-
gress had no share. They include the
legacies of the Reed congress and the
Harrison pension management to the
people. The total of the remaining es-
Inmates is less than the figures of a
year ago. In the permanent annual ap-
preparations are included the amounts
needed for the subsidies and bounties
voted by the Reed congress. the de-
fault of payments to the sinking fund,
we assume, by the Harrison admins
tration, interest on the bonded debt it
extended because the treasury did not
have the money to pay the bonded
debt which fell due, and the other acts
of dishonest and untruthful treasury
management for the last two years
A year ago, estimating that expendi-
lures would be 1851, 600, 600 in round
numbers. and making NO provision for
the sinking fund; Secretary Foster told
the people that the treasury would
show Il surplus of s14. 600. 600. He now
admits that his estimate of expendi-
lures was sec, 600, 600 short of the truth,
and his surplus of S14. 900. 600 becomes
deficit for the fiscal year 1884 on
his own figures of SAG. 600, 900.
Four years ago Secretary Fairchild's
report at this time showed an annual
surplus OF $50, 600. 600, after all sinking
fund requirements had been met To-
day Secretary Fosters estim ates con-
fess an annual deficit of SAG, 600. 900.

BENNIE'S RETIRING BOW.

Some of the Disclosures of the Pr esident's
Last Message.
Mr. Harrison's farewell message is
What might very we'll have been ex-
pectcd from him-a reiteration of his
assurance that, whether triumphant or
defeated. he Is one of the best, wisest.
purest, most patriotic and least fallible
men the country ever produced. This is
an undertone in the present message
which is pitched throughout in a minor
key. Mr. Harrison is no longer trucu-
lent, but he takes pains to deny that
he was wrong on n single point of the
policy of his administration. He goes
out reiterating his Endorsement Of
everything he has previously advocated
from high tariff to force bill and ship
sub sides.
Those VINO expected to hear a ''key-
note" raltying the party will be disap-
pointed. The message seems to have
no such aim. 1t seems to be the work
of a man who recognizes that his pub
lie career is closed; whose only care is
to keep his face to the company as he
bows himself out But so firmly con-
vinced is he of his own eternal right
ness that he can almost pity what he
considers the eternal wrongneSs that
retires him.
The message opens with a formida-
BILE array of Porter's census figures,
carefully collated with a view to con-
vincing the country that it is wrong
and Mr.. Harrison right He is full of
solicituGe for the workingman. for
whom. he SAYS, it has been his (Harri-
sou's) ''care to increase those home en-
joymeuts and family comforts without
which life is neither hopeful nor
swe ct" After this somewhat vague
reference to the Brussels carpet and
piano with which he and his policy
have supplied the parlor of every work.
ingmau, he comedies that 1.-The result
of the recent election must be accepted
as having introduced a new policy"
He will not insult the democrats by in
tiraating that they will be false to
their pledges to inaugurate tariff for
revenue only, and he says that the con-
tention has not been between sched-
ules, but principles. He then condoles
with the farmer. and finally. with un-
diminished confidence in protection,
he recommends that ''the whole sub
ject of tariff revision be left to the in
coming congress" and declares it "a
matter of regret that the inevitable re-
vision must be delayed for at least
three months"
On the silver question he is noncom-
initial to the last He makes no recon-
mendation, alleging in excuse that the
Brussels conference is still in session.
He hints very strongly tina. the bullion
storage act ought to be repealed. but
hero also he avoids making a recon-
mendatior.

Taxing Shares.

Taxation sholld be distributed as
nearly as possible in such fashion as
to take from each one for public pur-
poses in direct proportion to the advan-
tages he derives from the public. If
one were looking around for an ideal
object of taxation. one would endeavor
to find some desirable thing belonging
to all, and would tax each individual
for his share in the use of such Gesira-
bic object. Land is such an object

THE tax On personality is levied prac-
sically on only those who already stand
on the assessors book as liable to the
tax on realty. Those who own no real
estate are not taxed at all; those who
possess realty bear the taxes for both.
The weight of taxation thus rests on
the farmer In the rural districts the
assessors add the personality, which is
generally visible and tangible to the
realty and impose the tax on both. We
hear great deal about the decline OF
farming land. But one of its main
causes has been singularly overlooked
1t is the overburdening of the agricul-
turist by the general property tax.
What is virtually a real property tax in
the remainder of the state becomes a
