next Mayor of this city Will not be Tammany

For few years past Roswell G.. Horr. OF
Michigan one of the best of Republican stump
speakers in the United States, has been writing
a series Of important articles in The Weekly
Tribune upon financial and tariff topics. These
articles are remarkably clear and effective in
their explanations. They have served materially
to enghttn the public mind throughout the
rountry as to the advantages Of a Protective
Tariff and a policy OF honesty in finance The
Weekly Tribune is prepared expressly for farm
trs mechanics and residents Of the smaller
communities. Every week it goes into more
than 100 900 worthy and intelligent homes, chiefly
in the farming districts and manufacturing CEN
tres OF the country. Many Of the articles OF Mr..
Horr are too cogent and entertaining not TO be
laid before city readers also; and for the benefit
OF this latter constituency Of The Tribune the
best of them have been gathered into we'll
prin ed pamphlet Of los pages, entitled, "A Trib-
une Text Book for 1894" copies of which can be
obtained at this office for % cents EACH postage
paid The document Is especially strong on
financial topics Popular articles are supplied on
the Bank OF England, the old United States
Banks National Banks the Clearing House, Fiat
Money Gold and Silver. etc. and there are
many striking chapters the Tariff. There
is also a resume OF the Tariff agitation OF the
last thirty years, and extracts from recent re-
marks In Congress on the effect Of the Wilson
bill on Wages and Labor The pamphlet Is
written in an especially lucid and explanatory
style and will aid many city readers 10 clearer
understanding Of the topics treated.

silence. Then low roar could be heard,
and second later the earth fairly trem-
bied. as the army experts and the men who
have spent rearly million dollars in per-
fecting the gun saw full acre of water
rise in solid column to a height estimated
at anywhere from ore hundred to three
hundred feet and then slowly fall back
again. For three minutes after the explo-
sion the air over the spot where the pro-
jectile struck was filled with spray, and ten
minutes after the haze had disappeared the
water, for a falf mile around, was one mass
OF seetning foam. Two or three such COM
binations of gun and missile would make
1t impossible for any foreign feet to enter
New York harbor. but unless the range of
the gun is tremendously increased it would
not be effective against battle-ships which
could lie several miles off shore and batter
things out of shape i'm little while. 1t is
Probable, however, that the same genius
which successfully designed gun that can
throw five hundred pounds of high explo-
sive about three miles will be able to so in
crease the force behind the projectile as to
soon be on even terms with the heavy
armament of any warship likely to be built
curing the next twenty years.

The business Outlook Drightens.

From the v. y. Journal of Commerce.
The Clearing House returns, for the coun-
try at large, show a sudden and high rate
of increase, which is the best possible evil
dence of the current genera recovery of
trade The reports to The Financial
at all points, for the past week, to have
averaged 100 per cent above the amount
for the corresponding period of last year.
New York city is the only exception to
She rule the transactions here showing an
actual decline of As per cent. At Boston,
the increase is 14.9 per cent; at Philadel-
phia 10.4 per cent; at Chicago. 39.7 per
Orleans. 1874 per cent; and at five other
cities the gain averages 81 per cent. 1t
will thus be seen, that the recovering ten
dency at the interior and Southern centers
is very much more marked than at the sea-
board cities. Indeed, ii may be said of the
interior that, allowing for the large decline
in all kinds of values within the past
banks indicate bulk of trade movement
about equal to that of normal times. The
remarkable exception in me case of the
New York clearilgs is mainly due to Stock
Exchange operations. which a year ago
were enormously swelled b. the influences
of the panic, whilst now they are merely
nominal. Moreover, the increased settle
nent of stock transactions, through the
new Stock Clearing House arrangements
has very largely ana permanently reduced
the amount Of checking or that class of
operations. This factor, the exact value
OF which 1t is difficult to estimate must
make a future large reduction in the total
bank clearings, but especially in those of
New York; and II will be necessary to keep
that change in view i'll conpa ring future
returns of clearings with those Of former
years.

In all fairness to an unsophisticated Con-
gress and to the frequently hoodwinked
people of the. United States, Secretary Car
Isle should have made public at one and
the same time his estimates of the sum to
be derived from the income tax and the
amount necessary to set the tax-gathering
machinery in operation. The Secretary has
stated that he does rot expect an aggregate
return of more than fifteen million dollars
annually from the populist method of rails
ing revenue, but only to a sympathetic frag-
ment Of a Congressional committee did he
disclose the fact that the tax could not be
collected until five hundred thousand dol
lars had first been appropriated to organize
the collection department Those who have
an intimate acquaintance with govern
ment estimates insist that both estimates
will be wide of the mark. Experience has
shown conclusively that estimates Of ex-
penses are always below the amount ulti-
mately needed. while estimates Of receipts
are invariably. but not always purposely.
magnified. Adhering closely to a line which
Indicates the mean deviation on each side
of the ledger II il probably safe to say that
1t viii cost a million dollars to collect
something like twelve million dollars. The
conclusions are quite reasonable and have
behind them the solid support of financial
history. Congress was long ago put in
possession of Information that If extra
revenue were needed II could be had by a
slight additional tax on malt liquors-a tax
that would not have been felt by the con-
sumer AMI that could have been collected
without an additional dollar of cost. But
the twelve million dollars of income-tax will
evidently not be needed to meet the ex-
penses Of the government; why then should
there be an extravagant expenditure of
nearly a million dollars to make this un-
necessary collection?

doubt as to the guilt of the Carnegie Com
pany, charged with furnishing to the Navy
Department armor-plates known to be de-
fective. When the statements of the in
forming workmen were first made public
there were many rumors of blackmail and
the like, but since the publication of the
testimony taken before the Cummings in
vestigating committee 1t is certain that the
company must bear the odium OF a con-
viction. That armor-plate was doctored
with the knowledge of the superintendent
Of the Carnegie works is a fact to which
the superintendent themselves have testi-
fed, but II has not been established and
probably will not be that these superin-
tendents were acting under the orders of
either Mr.. Carnegie or Mr.. Prick, or that
either Of these knew of the frauds. This fact
has, of course. no tendency to relieve the
company from responsibility. The committee
report deals severely with the government
inspectors, because those officers were on
duty but eight hours a day, while the manu-
facture Of armor-plate went right along
day and night. The Navy Department
must share this blame. One inspecting Of
ficer could hardly be expected to remain
covered. the committee very properly says
that they are crimes for which no fine or
money compensation can adequately atone.
THE committee says the report, do not
feel the necessity of drafting a criminal
statute, but the interests of the Treasury
and the lives Of our seamen demand that
such acts shall be severely punishable in
all persons connected with them" Tests
are to be made OF plates declared to be
defective. and it may easily be that a large
proportion of the Carnegie Company's pro-
fits for the past year so win be swept
away through the wickedness. of responsible
subordnates.
