THE PROSPECT AS TO REVENUE.

The prompt passage of the conference Tariff
bill by the House the very day it was reported,
every Republican present and five Democrats
voting for it. exhibits the splendid unanimity
Of feeling. thoroughness Of organization and
manly subOrdination of individual ambitions,
whms and vanties 10 the public welfare which
have prevailed in that body under the leader
ship of Speaker Reed. Were Senator's capable
of similar scf-restraint the bill would he passed
in that body also at a single sitting, and the
Government would not be deprived Of a large
revenue by Democratic debate" for the pur-
pose sf enabling importers to avoid paying new
and higher duties on cargoes about to arrive.
The Republicans Of the House listened 10 Chair
man Dinrleys clear statement. refraned from
taking any time in debate. left warning Demo
cratic factions TO discuss in public their dis
cord, and patiently insisted upon vote before
adjournment.
Chairman Dlngley's estimate Of the revenue
producing power of the bill was not quite so
satisfactory as some Of his expressions the day
before had seemed to he. and yet II is 10 be in
tcrpreted in the light of the probable expansion
of business and consumption with a restoration
of prosperity. He judges that the bill will Weld
this year $iSJOO000 from customs. which is
ing the fiscal year 1896. The deficit in that wear
was S2j.200.OO0, but would have been about
$70000O0 more if payments proper to the wear
had not been thrown over into the next In order
10 make the results of the present tariff look
better than they were. The receipts during the
year which has just closed were much re.
duced during the first half by extreme deprcs-
sion last summer. but have been materially
sweed during the last six months by antci.
patory imports, so that they serve poorly for
comparison.
There Is no reason whatever to doubt that
the internal revenue under existing laws will
increase materially with revival of general pros-
pcry. II Is probable that as much as 10 per
cent, or sl4.G00,o0. may be speedily added TO
the revenue from this cause. hui an addition of
half that amount during the year that has lust
begun would go far 10 n.0ke up any deficiency
Moreover. the estimates based imporiations

qucnce OF higher duties in some schedules. and

| sonahly 10 be expected in many branches OF

IMPERIdLISM OR COBUENLSM.

Under the head Of "England's Opportunity"
Mr.. Blrchcnough. the vice-president of the Mac
clesield Chamber Of Commerce. sets forth most
convincingly in The Nineteenth Century" both
the present opportunity Of Great Britain for
commercial union ard true. imperial federation
with her colonies and also the perplexing pre-
dcamcnt which that nation now finds itself in
because of the vagarics OF CObdensm. The
text of the article Is Sir Wilfrid Tauriers speech
at Liverpool last month. in which he announced
Canadas adoption of preferential tariff duties
in favor of Great Britain, offered by the Do

fact that some of Great Britains commercial
treaties might interfere with this arrangement

Either Canada would have 10 retrcat-that Is,

Mr. Peterborough explains that the treaties In
question are those made with Belgium in 1862
and with Prussia and the German Zoverein
in 1860 These provide that imports from those
countries shall not be subjected in any British
colony 10 a higher duty than is imposed on like
imports from Great Britain. Therefore, II Can

derived annual renta! OF $25. 600 fer them. Eight
