The Globe Democrat says the re-
publican members OF congress will
have to make speeches during the
coming session, of course, but they
will not be obliged to fatigue the
country and embarrass their party
by talking about the tariff. The
Globe Democrat is acquainted with
the fact that the Mckinley tariff bill
came near annihilating the republi-
can party and was the direct cause
of the greatest ballot revolution
this country has ever witnessed.
The Globe Democrat is little ten
der and touchy on the tariff question,
and its argument and council to the
congressman about to assemble is
to do nothing or as little as possible
30 as not to give the country oifenss
again as did the Mckinley high tar
iff bill which closed factories and
put laboring men out of EN- ployment
and thereby brought on a change in
the administration and an over
wheIming victory for the democratic
party.

no revenue legislation, but that the
will be met by authoriz
ing the secretary of the treasury to
issue short-tims treasury warrants.
This is power with which the
treasury should be permanently
equipped to guard against any seri
Gus deficit. But inasmuch as the
government is sure to need contin-
uously larger revenue-no pros
pect OF economy existipg-congress
ought to enact new taxes.
The simplest and easiest way
would be to increase the internal tax
on beer 81 barrel. This would
yield just the additional revenue re
quired. But this is too direct and
easy to suit the republicans. There
is not enough politics in it. And
so some of their very smart leaders
propose to pass bill restoring the
duties on wool and lumber, and on
woolens as well, and challenge a
presidential veto. President Cleve-
land could be depended on to veto
such bill in about two minutes. and
his party could not ask for better
issue. Between restored taxes on
the clothing and shelter of the peo
pie and an increased tax on the beer
of the brewers there can be no
doubt as to the popular choice.
Every such proposition of the Nc
kinleyites is qualification. They
raised the tariff taxes in 1890 avow-
edly to stop the surplus. They now
propose to restore them to cure the
deficit. II is trick of politics that
won't work.-N. Y. World

There will be a deficit of probably
$50, 100000 in the national treasury
on the first of January, the end of
