PRIVATE BILL DAY.


Passed In tho House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l9,-This was
private bill day In the house, but most
Of the session was devoted 10 the
passage Of the 81 pension and relief
bills favorably acted upon BY the COM
mittee Of the whole last week. In the
course Of debate on the claim bills Mr..
Dingley made few remarks against
opening the door to old claims. This
drew from Mr.. Mahon, chairman of the
war claims committee, an ardent
defense Of claims unpaid by
the government devoting most Of
his attention 10 the justice of
the French spoliation and Pennsyl.
vania border war claims He insisted
that the claims should be met and de.
cided on their merits, and that 1t was
dishonest to plead the statute Of limi
tations against them. At five o'clock
the house took q recess until eight
o'clock, the evening session being de-
voted to the consideration Of private
pension bills
Among the bills favorably reported
from the house committee on public
buildings and grounds Yesterday was
one appropriating $3.50, 1000 for build.
ing in Kansas City. Kan. This is Judge
Miler's bill. amended for $lO0cOO The

Taking up the question Of revenue
and quoting figures and the yearly de-

But unless our annual receipts are increased
by imnroved business conditions. or our annual
expenditures are reduced. time will arrive
when provision must DO made for additional
revenue. and II the expenditures Of the govern
neut shall be increased by acts Of congress The
necessity for such measure will arise earlier
than the present situation seems TO indicate
SO long as the income Of the government
from customs and internal taxes exceed Its
expenditures, the fact that protective duties
were destructive Of revenue, although clearly
apparent to all who observed the practical
operation Of the system, did not attract the
attention Of the public generally, but the
situation has been materially changed
since 1850! and hereafter II will
not be possible to sacrifice revenue
to protection without seriously embarrassing
the fiscal affairs OF the government by depriv-
Ing 1t Of an income suticient to defray Its nec-
esssry expenditures. II the usual proportion
Of this income is hereafter to DO derived from
taxes on imported goods the protective theory
must be abandoned as the basis Of our legisla-
,ton upon the subject and well considered
and consistent revenue system must be sub
stitutcd In its place, and In my opinion this
can be done without material injury to any
trade or industry now existing In this country.
When the true principles OF taxation are
recognized and applied In our fiscal legisla-
tion, there will be no difficulty In securing an
ample revenue for the support Of the govern
ment In the exercise Of all lis proper functions,
without subjecting our industries to injurious
and unnecessary burdens or our trade TO In
