ptyTII DAY.


HousE- Under the special order the House
took mp the bill to 80 amend the Interstate
Commerce law as to permit railroad com
panles to pool their earnings. Mr. Geary,
Democrat Of California; Mr.. Dalzell, Repui,-
licnn, OF Pennsylvania, Mr.. Grow, Republi.
can. OF Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Mahon, Rep.
ublican, OF PeDnsylvania, advocated the
bill.
MIR. Dalzell asserted that the Interstate
commerce law had worked well generally
snd continuing said;
The American rates IN passenger traffic are
not moro than 90 per cent. M high ny those
In Europe, and freight rates are scnreely
more than half M high The law has not
operated 30 well as far as preventing dis.
elimination In rates was concerned. II was
notorious fact that some railroads favored
large shippers with low rates. aud imposed
higher rates upon smaller shppera There
were under-ciassiA Acations, false billings, and
the honest shipper was made To pay more
thnn those who entered into "a scheme TO
secure rebates.
Three things are necessary In railroad
management. They are publicity, stability
aud equality OF rates, and under the present
law II has been impossible to obtain any Of
them. The present bill suggested the rem.
cdy It was indorsed by every railrond. every
chamber Of commerce and every ra l.
road commission with the exceptions Of
one.
Mr.. Dalzcll denied that pooling would de-
stroy competition. IIo cited Instances to
show that competition can become an evil
The railroads could not arbitrarily IN rites
There was heavy competition In water car-
riage. He explained tho manner In which
pooling contracts are made. They had moth
ing whatever TO do with fixing rates, but were
for the purpose OF dividing the tranlj advan-
tuveOusly.

Currency Reform.

The most important feature OF Mr.. Carlsle's
report II his discussion OF the subject OF cur
rency reform. In the course OF which the
Administrations plans for u new system OF
currency are set forth In detail. Mr.. Carlisle
says ION the first day of June last the total
cash In tho treasury, excluding current linbil
tiles, but including a gold reserve OF S64, ,7S3,-
O24 was Sll6, ,626, ,29l. and on the first day Of
November the total cash, including current
liabilities, but including sci 1861 800 in gold
was SlO6, ,902, 1873, showing a decrease of
$685. ,4S7, The excess of expenditures over
receipts during the last fiscal year was 500.
300, go, and during the first i've months OF
the present fiscal year S2l 1892.
1T IL not believed, however, that this difr.
erence between the receipts andexpenditures
will continue In tho same proportion until
the close OF the year, and accordingly / have
estimated deficiency of $40. .O00, 900 at that
time. Owing to the large imortation Of raw
sngar. In anticipation of the passage OF the
tarir act OF August 2S, 1894. the duties col
lectcd upon that article up TO December
amounted to only 90, 900, and, OF course,
nothing has yet been realized from the tax on
incomes as It's payment cannot be legally en-
forced until after July |, 1895.
But there Is reason to believe that the
fmportations OF sugar must be resumed at an
early dato, and continued upon n SCALE
which will yield large revenue from that
source during the remainder OF the year, and
1t Is probable, also that on account OF tho
penalties which may be incurred for nonpRy-
ment within 10 days after July /, n consider
able part OF the income tax will be realized
In time to be available. As the reduced rates
OF duty on manufactures OF wool will take
effect on January l. 1895, the importation OF
that class OF goods will doubtless be greatly
increased after that date, and consequently a
considerable addition to the revenue may
be reasonably anticipated from that source.
OF these expectations should be TO any con-

Of the Long Drought.
The crop bulletin issued from the depart.
ment OF agriculture contains the following
reports from State agents:
Pennsylvania-The yield OF corn would
have been exceedingly small, owing to the
general drought but that n few localities were
visited by such frequent local showers as TO
sustain in measure the general average for

the drought during the summer, but the fav-
orable full weather helped them materially
