confidence was restored by the election
of Mckinley and that since Mark
Hanna's man took his seat in the White
House prosperity has been abroad in
the land. And yet we find, when Uncle
Sam comes to figure UP his finances
that during three and one-half months
of this Dingleyism, Confidence and
Prosperity, his shortage is almost as
great as during twenty-four months
under the Democratic tariff and during
hard times.
And the outlook now is that the
treasury deficiency for the first fiscal
year of the Dingley bill will be greater
than the deficit during the entire three
years the Wilson bill was in operation
The truth is, as most people know by
this time, that the Dingley 1nriff was
not framed so much with a view to
bring money into Uncle Sans Golfers
as to repay the administration great
debt to the trusts which contributed so
literally to Hanna's slush fund.

The Beer We Drink.

The Inland Revenue report for the year
1896 states that we consumed no fewer
than 33, 653, 900 barrels OF thirty-six gai-
Ions each. This mum Der of barrels, laid
In rows on their side, would com pleteIy
cover the Great North road from London
to Edinburgh; and the liquor in them
would fill reservoir halt mile square
and 80 feet deep. Distributed among the
population these figures mean that on an
average every man, woman and child in
these islands drank thirty and half gall
Ions of beer during 1896; but as at least
half the population - namely, some
women and nearly all chiIdren-oug IT
not to be counted tor beer drinking aver
ages, every able bodied man and woman
consumed on the average something like
sixty-one gallons OF beer, or about a pint
