The Estate Gazette has not ventured
on any more growing about Dingfeyism.
Its crow is probably at the thinkers, get

however, takes UP 'sThe News in just the
strain we expected. 1t invites US to wait
q year before eriticizing the new tariff.
We do not see why. we should wait a
year or a day. The Republican papers
began their, onslaught on the Wilson
act the very day it was passed. and they
never missed a day down to the present
time. Yet, when the Wilson bill was
passed. it was explicitly admitted that a
deficit would accrue from its operations
unless the income tax, which was one of
its features. could be inforeed. whereas
the Dingfey bill was passed in hot haste.
for the explicitly alleged purpose of over
coming the deficit and putting the treas
ury on a paying basis. How far it falls
short of this design may be judged from
the figures which we print today, show
ing that in the eighteen business days of
August which AVE elapsed, it has Melted
4 deficiency Of over thirteen millions. We
are not gifted with any uncommon pro-
phetic vision, but we venture to say that
next August we will still be chronieling
the aeffeit Of DingleyisHa. unless the pres
ent ridictlIous law be supplemented by
somesgenufne revenue producing tax DUR
ing the next session of Congress.
The .sIfor Era. of course. accounts for
the present deficit by putting it on the
impertaaioas of June and July, in antici-
patioal OF prohibitive duties. We admit
that this is In a small degree the cause;
but we claim that it Is In equal degree the
cause of. the revival of business which

that Gardeners Bay is an excellent har-
Dor and would be one of the first points
