is done with the wholesale men Of that
city Is immense.
Houston's city officials started about two
years ago to have at least all of her
principal streets paved, and property abut-
for for the paving. or to heb the city bay
for 1t. but they paved some streets on
which there was some homestead property
aad the courts decided that such property
that purpose and the street improvements
were discontinued. However. the city has
recently issued 100000 worth of bonds and
tho work will be resumed again.
1t is true that there has beef and is

the number of railroads that enter the

A REVENUE TAEIFF.

,
How to so adjust tar4ff duties as TO Sc
cure an adequate revenue for the govern
ment. with incidental protection only; IN
other word4 how to frame tariff for roy
enus only, IS the great question Of the
day. II IS really business question, and
there ought 10 be no politics in business
question.
Various suggestions are being made from
time to time. The other day the Philadel-
rhia Times suggested a specific. fixed sum
/ per pound on sugar, instead of the 10 per
cent ad va1orem, which could be controlled
and would fuctuate as the price was COW
trolled by the sugar trust. II would give in
cidental protection to a home industry
which was not sufficient to supply the
home demand Sugar can not be produced
as cheaply here as in Cuba and Hawaii ana
The home grower is entitled to any incl
dental protection which revenue tariff
might give him. And so of other and like
products.

lin. who would fix u uniform ad vhlnren
tariff of - per cent on all imports except
the few raw materials which should bS
placed on the free list. The imports ar,
/, now seven hundred millions and over pei
anpum. OF these in 1895 the free list com
rrised 10 per cent and the customs duties
were si52,ooo.ooo in round numbers. This
year the receipts Will be few millions
larger. We need s20o,oOO.oc0 annually from
customs. Mr.. Hamlin's plan would yielc
over that amount and he admits that o
per cent uniform duties might be sum
4ient.
