Tariff legislation is now the order of
the day in congress; the new bill having
been reported to the house Monday. In
introducing the bill Congressman Ding
ley, of Maine, said in part:
Congress has been convened in extra
ordinary session by the president for
the purpose of providing adequate
revenue for carrying on the government.
The exigency which has brought up
here is 80 clearly stated in the message
of the president and is so fully recited
in the report of the committee on ways
and means submitting the pending re-
vision of tariff for the consideration of
the house that I need not detain YOU re-
peating the story 50 completely within
your own knowledge. The salient facts
are these:
lin four fiscal years, commencing
July l, 1893, and closing on the Both Of
June next, the revenues of the govern
ment have not been sufficient to meet
the expenditures to the extent of more
than $200,000,000. or on an average of
$5OO0O,O0O per year.
1.-The late secretary of the treasury
in his last annual report estimates that
under existing conditions the deficiency
will continue and will reach S45,000,0O0
more for the next fiscal year.
3.-This deficiency of $500, 00O, 900 up to
the close of the present fiscal year has
been meet by borrowing. That is, of
the 1898, 100000 realized from the sale of
two hundred and sixty-two and a third
million bonds sold, in the last analysis
over two hundred millions pay current
expenses in excess of the revenue.
4.-This chronic deficiency Of reven ne
and the use Of the borrowed reserve or
what is the same thing the United
States demand notes redeemed with
gold obtained by borrowing has pro-
NOTED distrust, intensified and pro-
longed the run on the treasury and
weakened business confidence.
5.-This efficiency of revenue has
nearly all risen from falling off of re-
venue from duties on fmports-and not
from a decline of revenue from internal
taxes-since the result of the national
election in November, 1892, first fore
casting and subsequently partially ac-
complishing revolutionary change OF
tariff policy, began to arrest industries
In the fiscal year beginning July, 1, 1892
the revenue received from the duties on
imports was s2O3, OOO,OOO-an increase OF
S26,000,O0O over the previous year-and
up to November, 1892, it was the conf
dent expectation of the treasury that
the revenue in the succeeding fiscal yeal
would reach $220,OOO,O0O; but this ex
pectation was blasted when anticipated
tariff legislation that would largely re
duce duties began to defer importion
and subsequently to disorganize indus
triac

After Senatorial HonOrs.

The Des Moines News is authority for a
story to the effect that Hon. A. B. Cum
Minis, OF Des MONIES, has commenced
his campaign for the seat in the United
States senate, now held by John III.
Gear.
The News of Monday says:
1T is reported gtoday that the first
move in the coming fight between Sena-
tor Gear ane A. B. Cummins has been
made by the later.
Mr.. Cummins, now national commit
teeman wants to go to the United States
senate tritle worse than he wants any
thing else on earth.
EThree years ago he made a good
showing against Gear who was elected
to succeed the late Senator Wilson. The
fight was hot and lively and bad blood
was engendered.- Gear will have served
.his Six years three years from now; that
10 the second regular session of the
legislature will either have to re-elect
Gear or some other man. Cummins
wants to be the man.
1t was reported today on good au.
thority that Cummins has commenced To
lay the ropes to capture voters in the
state senate. There are twenty-five of
them. State senators are elected fol
four years each. Therefore twelve of the
senator's now revising the code will either
have to retire to public life next fall OIL
be reelected for four years. Those re-
elected will get vote for senator Cum
Minis, who is wise politician, wants
those votes secured early Therefore
his friends are interesting themselves in
the contests now coming to the front fol
the republican nominations in the
twelve senatorial districts.
