KILL THE DiNGLEY BILL. q
A Measure That Would Diminish Rev

~ enues.
The best thing that the house, of reps
resentatives can do with the free-silyer
substitute that the senate adopted in
place of the Dingley tariff bill is to vote
it down and let the whole matter drop.
The Dingley tariff measure is not quite
so mischievous as the free-silver meas
ura would be, but it would do infnitel
harm 1t would disturb business, en-I
hance prices, diminish revenues, eln-
barrass manufacturing and restrict OPP
portunities for employment.
The Dingley measure is not at all
necessary, even if it would accomplish
what is claimed for il. If it would j in
crease the revenue, instead of dimins
ishing revenue, as it surely would do.
still it would be unnecessary, because
the present tariff law is producing Q
eonstantly-increasin quantity of rev
enue that will be entirely sufffcientfor
the government by the end of the fiscal
year.
/ The customs receipts for January
this year were $16,3se,7g6, those from
internal revenue $11,o41, ,401 and from
miscellaneous sources 1915. AIS, maxi.
ing a total for the month of $29,23 s670.
This is greatly in excess of 81, 100000 a
day for the 20 business days in Janu-
cry. 1t is also 81. 900 600 more than the
average receipts of the previous six
months. The January figures are far
more likely to be exceeded In the sue
sceeding months of the fiscal year, be-
cause the bulk Of the sugar importa-
tions are made in the first half of the
year, and also because the internal rev.
enue taxes are just beginning to pr7.
duce what was expected OF them. There
is every reason to believe that the total
receipts for the present fiscal year will
exceed $350,000,o 600, aggainst So eo,ooo
last year. This would bring the de-
fieiency on the Both day of next June
within ST., ,o00, ,0e0 or 81 100000, against
$42,oo0,O00 last year, and against $70,-
100000 in 1894, the last year Of the Nc
Kinley law. This is a pretty regular inn
proyement. 1t keeps up with the busi-
ness conditions. Revenues increase as
business improves, which indicates that
with all its faults the Wilson bill Is in
a general sense framed to fit the re-
auirements of the country.
Next year the receipts will surely
equal the expenditures, and in the sue
ceeding years there will be an excess
Of revenue sufficient to provide for the
payment OF the government Obligations.
This will be accomplished under the
operation of the. Wilson tariff, for no
matter what the result Of the election
may be next fall, no party thatswi1l be
in power in Washington will dare to
change the Wilson bill in any material
way. The principle of low taxes is
fully established, and no party will be
found in the future Of the present gem

Time and again the men have been eau

though human machine, is not a per-
feet one. AS we hurry onward and
have put several miles between us and
the late camp, Trooper johnson sud-
