Progress" makes a good argument
against the abandonment Of the pres
ent plan OF making street improve
mentS, and he may be right. except in
one particular. The city has no more
business to assume responsibility for
the payment Of the costs involved in
making street Improvements, than It
would have TO guarantee the bills OF
contractors for erecting dwellings and
other buildings on the private lots OF
citizens. What ever may be said Of
the advantages OF such a plan theoret-
ically, the practical operation OF that
system has been such as to place upon
the city treasury and general tax-pay-
ers large proportion Of the burden OF
making these improvements. The prin-
ciple upon which the courts sustain as
sessmsnts made for street and sidewalk

there is any force in the argument that
the bonds issued b. the city for tie de-

WE NEED PRO4A.TIoN.


The New York World is laboring hard

Of any more protection than the Wilson
law affords. 1t admits that more reve-

There is no industry suffering legit-

''is reviving under the tariff as It is.
which is higher than any previous
peace tariff in our history with the
single exception Of McKinley's."
The first paragraph Of the above ex-
tract is correct in all particulars. The
second is fallacious. Business is reviv-

is a sharp limit to the revival. Let us
