PASS THE DINGLEY BILL.

The principal need of the government
at the present time is revenue. For the
last four years it's receipts have been
steadily running behind its expenditures,
aud the result has been a large deficit.
Ostensibly the bonds that have
been issued during Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration have been issued to keep the
treasury reserve up to the 500, 900
mark. but really in large part their
proceeds have been devoted to paying the
current expenses of the government. 1t
is obvious that the government cannot
go on year after year spending more
money than 1t gets without ultimately
of opinion am ong people as to the best
method of raising revenue. and always
will be; some believe In q tariff for reve-
nue. only and others In q tariff for pro-
tee tion; bat there can be no difference Of
opinion that in some way the govern
ment should raise as much as it spends.
Possibly the revival of business which
seems to be in sight, will, under the ex-
listing tariff law, bring our receipts
nearer our expenditures, but it is not
probable that IL will bring them to an
equality. Some legislation lis needed to
supply the deficiency, and needed too
right away. The last House of Repre-
sentatives passed bill. known as the
Dingley bill. which made general in.
crease in the rates of the existing tariff
law. The increase would have proved
sufficient without doubt to furnish the
additional revenue needed. The bill
failed in the Senate, because the silver
Repu Dlicans would not vote for 1t unless
concessions were made to silver. This
bill ought to be taken up as SOON as Con-
it. 1t may not 9 successful, the silver
men may again demand concessions to
silver as the price of their support, but
there would seem to be better chan oa
for it's passage than there was at the last
session. There is not the sans induce
ment for all the silver Republicans to
stand by silver that there was when the
campaign was impending.
It may be argued that 1t will
be better to postpone the ques-
ton until the new adIninistra-
tion and the new Congress come into
Office, and then proceed to radically re-
wise the tariff. But general revision of
the tariff, even ii it be possible, (and of
that there is great doubt in view of the
probable standing of the next Senate)
will take a long time, and during all
that time the treasury deficit will be
mounting upward. The passage of the
Dingley bill will not interfere with a
radical revision of the tariff later, If that
be deemed practicable or advisable. 1t
may be regarded merely as an emergency
measure, which can be modified at
leisure as experience suggests. The
placing of the treasury in sound oondi
tion will do much to restore confidence
in the country, and hence hasten the
revival of business. therefore there
should be no delay beyond what is abso-
lutely unavoidable.

Is understood that the Kaiser and his
prime minister Prince Hohenlohe will
make personal appeals to him
to keep silent. Bismarck's pur-
pose in revealing these secrets
is not very clear. 1t would hardly seem
possible that jealousy alone could impel
him to do thing SO fraught with dan
ger to his country. Besides. these under
standings which he is exposing were all
had by himself and are monuments
to his own duplioity which nobody
would suppose he would want to expose
to public view,

CURRENT COMMENT.
CONS TRUCTIVE CURRENCY
WORK.
(Boston Herald.)


The American people were asked to
decide which side they would favor, and
now, for the first tin ,, we have it clear
ly affirmed by u majority of the electors
that they favor the gold standard, and
propose to have it as the basis Of our
currency system. No doubt, the declara-
ton was qualified by plegde to promote
an International agreement for the free
coinage of silver, but rs auch nm agree
ment in plainly unattainable, the quail
fieation amounted to nothing In practi-
cal way. The battle was fought and
won for the gold standard. So far q
great gain has been mads. In fact CON-
sidering the tremendous and wide spread
disaster which would have been ocoa
stoned had the verdict been the other
way, 1t Is impossible to overestimate the
advantages to our country of the deci-
sion that has been reached. But. having
said this it is necessary to add that the
action thus far has been negative rather
than positive in it's character. We have
said that we would not permit orr cur-
rency SYSTEM to be debased by the free
coinage of silver. and in this way
brought down to the level of that depre.
oiated metal. We have in this wav
averted national disgrace and an In
dustrial calamity, but now that this ad-
vance has been made, we have thrown
upon us the much more difficult. becausa
constructive, work of placing our entire
currency upon permanent and satisfac-
tory basis.
