Tariff Facts.

The report Of the chief of the treasury
bureau of statistics cannot afford much
consolation to the free traders. especially
in view of the dubious condition OF the
income tax The tariff law will leave
deficit at the very lowest estimate OF
forty-seven millions Of dollars. At the
close of business, Saturday, the deficit
amounted to $40, 600, 900 and just how the
officials expect to lessen this is not ap
parent. Had the house bill instead of the
Senate bill become q law the deficit would
already have been Sl2. 900, 000 greater than
1t Is and full revenue has not in the
past seven months been had from sugar.
During these seven months there has be en-
an increase of s54, 900, 900 in the imports
and falling off in exports of domestic mer-
chandise of $50, 900, 900 to the American
producer an unfavorable difference Of
slO6, 600, 900 to say nothing Of the
deficit in revenue that must be made
good by direct taxation in some form,
by bonds or income tax. In the month
of March alone as compared with
March of last year there was an in
crease of 50, 900, 900 in the value of ar
tclcs of luxury imported. While business
prospects are good and growing still
brighter there Is not in the operations Of
the mongrel tariff law thus far much en-
enlargement for the wage carriers as a
whole 1t is already apparent that had
the result would have been disastrous
in tho extreme.
