The New Tariff Bli should Be Passed
without Delay

The New Tariff HnI should Be Passed
without Delay
Since the advent OF the Republican
administration to power the national
debt has begun to show monthly de-
crease. The decrease for April was
nearly SO. 100000. This, however. does
not arise from any change in legisla-
ton, but from the activity of importers
in rushing in foreign goods to get ahead
of the proposed new tariff
The difference in the situation in this
respect now and Il year ago is shown
by the fact that while the receipts of
the treasury from misunderstanding April,
1896, were only about $11 10000 for
April, 1897, they have been about S24,
600, 900 Whether this rate of increase
will continue until the new tariff bill is
passed and goes into effect remains to
be seen. If t-dOes, we shall continue to
have surplus of revenue, but it will
be at the expense of treasury receipts
later on-for there will be such an ac-
emulation of foreign goods that our
markets will be fully supplied for an
indefinite period.
Thus the result of the delay in eff
fecting tariff legislation must be fur
ther postponement of the revival Of
American industry. With our markets
glutted with foreign goods there will
not be much demand for American
mills and factories to start up, except i'll
lines in which foreigners cannot COM
pete. The longer the delay in the senate
the greater the injury which stimulated
imports will inflict upon the country
