Resolved, That the secretary of the

pears 20 be good reason for the belief
said TO prevail among treasury officials
that the receipts win average S1O00000
n day by the spring Of 1898.
It Is TO be inferred from the statement
OF Secretary Gage that he believes the
tariff law will ultimately furnish am
pie revenue and that therefore he VIII
not recommend any changes in the law,
but rather urge that 1t be given fair
trial as 1t Is. The enemies OF the policy
embodied in the present tariff are max
ing n good deal of outcry against 1t be
cause It has not stopped deficits and
while this seems to have made an I'M
preston in some quarters not unfriendly
to the principle of the law 1t is not prob
able that any attention will be paid to
1t by the administration or by the re-
publicans in congress. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that there will be democratic at
tacks on the law in congress and that
changes in 1t will be proposed, but there
is very little likelihood of any being
made affecting it's general character. 1t
should have fair test as a revenue
measure and we have no doubt that
President Mckinley and the republican
leaders in congress will be found to en-
tertain this view. 1t will be time enough
to make changes if at the end of year
it shall have proved to be inadequate.

during the past year discussed these subjects
from every standpoint except that OF poll
