''That was as 1 expected said
Postmaster-G General Wilson when the
news of the decision of the Supr eme
Court on the income tax law was
carried to him. "Wcll, it is not so
serious as the general view of it
seems to make it. If trade revives
and continues to improve as it has
of late there will be revenue enou gil.
From now on increasingly larger
amounts of whisky must be taken
out under the new tax and this
increase will amount to over Si5 ,000,-
600 year. Taken with the increase
of revenue from customs duties the
new tax on whisky will make up the
deficit. This month, you see, the
internal revenue collections are So
600, 900 and tariff about $1,000, 900,
while we paid out over S10,O0O,00o.
1 think times are improving and the
government will have all necessary
revenue and the deficit will soon be
thing of the past"

Mr. cleveland speaks.

At banquet rendered to the Dem
ccratic editors of New York State, at
Delmonica's Friday evening. letter
from President Cleveland was read
which evoked tumultuous applause.
After expressing regret at his inabil-
ity to be present, the President in
his letter said:
esWhen campaign is actively on
foot to force the free, unlimited and
independent coinage of silver by the
Government at ratio which will add
to our circulation unrestrained mil
lions of So called dollars, intrinsicallY
worth but half the amount which
they purport to represent, with no
provision or resource to make good
any deficiency in value, and when it
is claimed that such proposition has
any relation to the principles of De-
mocracy, it is time for all who may in
the least degree influence Democratic
thought to realize their responsibility.
sour party is the party of the
people, not because it is waited
hither and thither by every sudden
wave of popular excitement and mis-
conception, but because, while ii
tests every proposition by the doc
trines which underlie its organization
it insists that all interests should be
defended in the administration of the
government without especial favor OIL
discrimination.
"Our party is the party of the
people because in its care of the
welfare of all our countrymen it
resists all schemes born of discomfort
advocated by appeals to sectional or
class prejudices and reinforced by
the insidious aid of private selfish
ness and cupidity.
ssAbove all our party is the party
of the people when it recognizes the
fact that sound and absolutely safe
money is the life blood of our coun-
try's strength and prosperity, and
when it teaches that none of our
fellow citizens, rich or poor, great or
humble, can escape the consequences
of degeneration of our currency.
democratic care and conservatism
dictate that if there exists inconven-
fence and hardship, resulting from
the congestion or imperfect distri bu-
ton of our circulating medium, a
remedy should be applied which will
avoid the disaster that must follow
in the train of silver monometallism." .
