1t may be urged that even if the revenues of

IS ordinary expenses during the past thee year
the gold reserve would still have been INSULT
'lent to meet the demands upon it and that
onds would necessarily have been issued for

manifest without denying or affirming the cor
rectness of such conclusion, that the debt
would have been decreased in at least the
amount of the deficit and business confidence
UNNECESSARILY strengthened throughout the
county,
Congress should promptly correct the existing
conditions. Ample revenues must be supplied
not only for the ordinary expenses of the
government but for the prompt payment of the
liberal pensions and the liquidation of the
principal and interes: on the public debt In
raising revenues, duties should be SO levied
upon foreign products as to preserve the home
market as far as possible to our producers to
revive and increase manufactures; to relieve
aid encourage agriculture to increase our do
nestle and foreign commerce; to aid and de-
velop mining and building, and to render to
labor in every field of useful occupation liberal
wages and the adequate rewards to which skill
and industry are justly entitled.
''The necessity of the passage of tariff law
which shall provide ample revenue need not be
further urged. The imperative demand of the
hour is the prompt enactment of such a meas
ure, and to this object earnestly recommend
that congress shall make every endeavor Be-
fore other business is transacted, let as first
provide sufficient revenue to frithfully ad-
minister the government without contracting
