REPUBLICAN ECONOMY.

Tho Conduct Of tho Internal Revenue
Bureau Under Commissioner Mason.
Emira az ~ Advertiser
The cost Of collecting tho revenues OF
tho United States government has al.
ways been considered test OF the bust
ness-liko character OF an administration.
The most efficient officer is the one who
performs the work required in tho best
manner at the least expense. All OF the
treasury departments under President
Harrison's administration have shown
not only equal efficiency with predeces-
sors ut less cost but have done better
than that-they have improved the SER
vice, collected moro money and, at tho
same time, reduced the expensel This
excellent record Is noticeable especially
in tho internal revenue service, the
bureau OF printing and engraving and
in tho department OF customs.
Tho internal revenue department
shows some very interesting figures in
this direction. In 1890 the cost OF the
collection Of informal revenues, for the
first time under the existing laws, was
reduced below three per cent. During
tho four years from 1886 to 1880, in
elusive, the averase cost OF collection
was three and fve-tenths per cent,
while for the years 1889, 1890 and 1891,
the average cost was two and ninety-six
one hundredths per cent. In the four
years first named the total increase OF
collections OF internal revenue over the.
previous four years was SlS,000,000, or
at the rate OF S4,500000 per annum,
while during tho two years 1890 and
1891 the increase was Sl5,0O0,00O over
tho two years preceding, or Mt the
rate Of S7,5O0,000 per annum, not
withstanding there were cut off
in 1891 100000 by reduction in tho to-
bacco taxes. In 1883 to collect Sill, 0OO,-
600 cost 81 100000 while in 1891 to col
lect 100000 more cost 100000 less.
The record of excellent administration
in the internal-reYenue is more or less
general but nowhere is it more conspic-
uous than in tho Twenty.eighth district
OF New York comprising fourteen
counties in thewestern end OF the state).
one Of the most important districts in
the union. Its improved efficiency, in
creased receipts andilessened expenses
reflects credit upon the Hon. Charles E.
Fitch OF Rochester, OF the district, rs the
general record of the entire service re-
fleets credit upon tho Hon. John W.
Mason, commissioner OF internal reye-
nue. at Washington.

COST orthc Stone Rrldrc.

When the matter OF tho now Main
street bridge was under discussion the
1NTELLIdENcER argued in favor OF n steel
bridge, because a structure OF that
character would serve the purpose and
because We thought tho cost of stone
bridge would be greater than the city
should incur.
The Register, speaking for the stone
bridge people. argued that tho construc-
ton of a stone bridge would not be SO
much greater than that Of steel bridge !;
and, furthermore, tho building OF n
stone bridge would give employment to
home labor, which was thought to be q
very desirable interess to conciliate for
the benefit Of tho Democratic party. In
an editorial article on March 4, 1890, the
Register said:
Official estimates Of efficient engineers place
the cost OF first class slone bridge, that would
tforcenturies without n dollar for repair, a,
about S7S,c0 Tho lSTELLGEScER places 1t ut
twice that sum, Our neIghbot already fills the
q
job; docs 1t aim to occupy that OF engineer aso2
! Tho 1NTELLIGENcER did place tho cost
OF stono bridge at about twice S75, 900.
Will tho Register now be good enough to
tell us how far wrong it thinks the IN
TELLlGEScER was in its estimate? While
it is taking time to reply the INrELL1-
oENcER takes the liberty to say that
sharper practice was never played on
any people than in this very matter OF
the cost of a stone bridge.
If efficient engineers" placed tho
costof the stone bridge at $4,000 the
public will challenge the accuracy OF
their estimate, however efficient they
may have been in other respects. Tho
bridge, SO for as anybody can SEQ, has
been constructed in manner to re-
fleet credit on the engineers and the
contractors, and it is fair to suppose
that the estimate OF $4,000, on which
the Register insisted. was the estimate OF
politicians rather than Of engineers.
However this may be, we hope to
hear from the Register its present opin-
ion OF the relative accuracy Of its own
estimate and that OF the INrELLIGEScER.
How much does the Register think the
stone bridge will cost, and about what
is the difference between that and the
estimate OF the efficient engineers" who
were pitted against the closer estimate
of the ISTELLIGgNcER?
While the Register is about it perhaps
twill not think it too much trouble to
say who were those efficient engin-

Ii it be truo that the Canadians are
responsible for the seal troubles and
true also that Great Britain cannot
curb the Canadian propensity for seal
poaching, we have within our power to
take a short cut to tho marrow OF the
matter.
We can takcfrom tho Canadians the
very. valuable transit privileges now
accorded to'them and let it go at that
until they get wide enough awake to
realize that in this great world are
some other things OF value besides fur
barring seals. This VIC can do without
shedding any blood.
1t has been said in the senate that
Lord Salisbury puts the blame on the
Canadians and has moro than init
mated the impotency OF his govern
ment to make them behave them
selves. This is a strange admission.
. Canadians are British subjects. Cam
ada is British dependency. In inter-
national diplomacy there are no such
people as Canadians and there is no
such country as Canada.
Does Great Britain want to shake off
Canada? And is this intended to be
taken as on intimation to this effect
