The Appalling Outlook Under the wiIsos
Tariff Reform Bill.

Tariff Reform BILL
! The Mckinley act of 1890 not only
afforded ample protection to American
industries. but yielded abundant rev.
enues to the government
That act went into force October 8,
1890.
Everybody agrees that it gave pro-
! lection tn our manufactures, our mines,
our agriculture, and to every sort Of
American enterprise with which for
eign enterprises of like character
compete The head and front of it's
offending, as defined BY the democratic
party. has been and is that it protects
too much; that its rates were too high.
and its influence too rigidly exclusive
of foreign competition
So, then, there is no question that
the Mckinley act did give protection to
American capital and labor. and did
discriminate in their favor largely and
effectively. too. against foreign cap
Ital and labor and their productions
What about revenue?
The record of the Mckinley act as a
revenue-yielding tariff is this: For the
year 1891 it gave the treasury near
ly s27. 900. 900 more revenue than il
needed to meet the expenditures of
that year; for 1892 it produced $40, O00,s
600 in excess of the expenditures. AND
for 1898 it yielded about 81, $40, 900 over
the sum required to cover the govern
ment's necessities The showing for
1875 marks a great falling of in reve-
nue.; but that is entirely due to tho
general arrangement of business THAI
dates from the calling of the extra ses-
sion and the beginning of the reversal
of repu blican policies and the repeal OF
republican legislation
From July 1, 1898, to January l, 1894,
the total receipts of the treasury
amounted to about s42, 800. 600 less than
for the corresponding period of 1892
At this rate the deficiency on the
whole current year will reach sS5, OO0,-
600. Mr.. Carlisle's estimate Of it-and,
of course, it is as low an estimate as he
deems it prudent to make-is between
$50. 900. 900 and SOC, 900, 600
And this is only the prologue TO the
tariff reform play. The revenues, am
pie enough and to spare under the Nc
kinley act have shrunk IN this appall-
ing way while the preface to the book
of free trade is being written.
Mr.. Wilson himself estimates that his
bill will cause further shrinkage Of
$40, 900. 900 In the revenues of the next
fiscal year-already short $50, 600, 600 Of
the amount needed TO meet the expen-
ditures of the government
And the Wilson bill will take away
protection. too.
What utter folly and supreme mad
ness is this which, in place of an act
that gave ample protection and yielded
abundant revenue, seeks to substitute
one that will give neither protection
nor revenue, but will destroy at ons
blow the prosperity of the country and
the solvency of tie treasury.-N. Y.

New Desiens In Tea Tables.

and despite their moderate costa great
improvement upon the over-dainty

the weight of cups. Hospitality is the
virtue supposed to prompt the exist

hardly be saying too much to urge the
wisdom of sufficient substantially to
suggest security and sufficient size to
allow a generous number of cups.

DEFICIT AND TARIFF.
The Undecisive Course OF the yacillating
Democrats.

DEMOCRATS
The democrats are now Historically
demanding that the Wilson tariff bill
shall be rushed through congress with
out delay. They say that the people
want to know what the reductions and
changes are to be. in order that they
can make their business calculations
for the future. And so the programme
is, as our Washington kilograms inform
US, to force the bill on in the house and
pass it to vote. And yet the demo-
cratic members of the ways and means
committee have been utterly unable to
come TO any conclusion as to what leg
islation to recommend in order to make
up the inevitable deficiency of sixty or
seventy millions which the Wilson bill
will cause. The majority of the COM
mittee are all at sea They had a
caucus at the treasury on New Years
day. but agreed to nothing. The ad-
ministration programme, As voiced by
Bourke Cochran, is to fix an income

The people are coming to the conclu-

that in the end it will prove unsatisfac-
tory and, indeed, disastrous TO the in
