Elements Which Have Cont rihuted to

That The Times is above all other papers
the wspapcr of the people Of the bistrict
of Columbia is again demonstrated by the
remarkable Increase of circulation during
the past week shown in the attached state

past year made contracts with The Times
on the basis OF the circulation which 1t
had at the time niadc, are continually reap
tug the benefits of lis steady and astound-
ing growth.
There are excellent reasons for this In
crease in popularity which The Times has
enjoyed IL has continued To speak hon

question. It's detractors and enemies are
ouiy those whose selfish interests have been

The experiment. absolutely unique in
Journalism, of publishing a sixteen page

Of auy other one Washing newspaper has

only do they try to irighten the timid

that there will be no restoration or

acted. They attribute tho decrease in

RECEIPTS OF REVENUE,
The Present Tariff Law as Compared
with the Mckinley Law.

Our present tariff law has been as.
sailed because it is not yielding rev
enue equal to the expenditures. 1t has
been shown that this is only a tempo
rary condition, and that in time it will
yield abundant revenue. 1t would be
yielding enough now but for the panic
brought on by republican legislation.
But little attention has been paid to
the fact that 1t was absolutely neces.
sary to repeal or modify the Mckinley
law, because it was not Welding
enough revenue. 1t has been said that
it yielded enough under Mr.. Harrison's
administration, but this is not true.
Else why was the surplus squandered?
Why was a trust fund covered into the
treasury and used TO pay current ex-
penses? Why were bonds to the
amount OF SOS, 900, 900 continued after
they were due? Obviously, because
expenditures exceeded the ordinary
revenue receipts.
\ comparison of receipts of the last
fiscal year with those of the present
year is instructive in this connection.
The Mckinley law was in force dur
ing the whole of the fiscal year which
ended June 80, 1894, and till August IS
in the present fiscal year. Up to March
!, 1925, embracing eight months of the
present fiscal year, the revenue has
been twelve and one-half millions
greater than it was in the last fiscal
year under the Mckinley bill. 1t is
true that July and August of this fiscal
year We're also under the Mckinley
bill, but the collections from customs
during those months were less than in
the preceding year, The collections
of customs have been larger in eyery
month since August than in the cor
responding month OF the preceding
year. In December, 1894, they were
greater than in December, 1893, by two
millions in round numbers. In Jan.
uary. 1895, there was an increase of
six millions as compared with Janu-
airy, 1894. In February the increase
was about three millions. There was
some falling off in the internal revenue
for these three months, but the total
evenue increased in December. Jan.
uary and February, as compared with
the preceding year, by about seven
millions of dollars. This shows that
the present tariff bill is yielding more
revenue than did the Mckinley bill
under similar conditions. louisville

COMMON EXPRESSIONS.

THE expression to rain cats and
dogs" indicating a severe shower, is
found In Dean Swift. 1t Is supposed to
be Of proverbial origin, and much older
than his time.
"FIAsco' means a bottle or flask.
When the Italian glassblowers detect
cd flaws in the vase they were blowing
they made an ordinary bottle Of the
failure, and hence the name.
FAMILIARITY breeds contempt" is a
proverb found in n form or another
in every English and Asiatic language
having a literature. Its earliest form
Is believed to be the Sansl1rit.
To TURN the cold shoulder" Is prob
ably a very ancient proverb. 1t first
appears in a literary form in Scott's
''Antiquarr," where 1t is used with
exactly the significance attached to it
at present.
NEVER less alone than when alone"
has been traced from one author to an
other, and many claims have been
made to its first employment. No
earlier use can be found Of it, however,
than by Cicero.
THE phrase almighty dollar" was
first used, so far as known, by Wash
ington Irving. 1t has since passed into
general employment to indicate the
worship of wealth, both In this country
and in England.
