"The Democratic tariff law has come short of supplying sufficient revenue by an average of over $4,- 5O0,000 per month," says c local Republican organ. It has supplied more revenue than was raised dur ing large portion of the Mckinley period. The trouble has been with the expenses and they were incur red largely through Republican leg lation. But there will be no deficit to report at the close of the present fiscal year, nor at the close of the next one. unless Congress starts an other panic.-St. Louis Republic.
