Well, the deficit in revenue. since the be-
ginning of the fiscal year. has been some
500. 100000. or 100000 larger than in
the corresponding period n year ago.
The revenue. in order to fulfill Mr.. Ding
ley's prediction. must increase sixty to
seventy millions during the next nine
months. Does anyone seriously expect
such remarkable results? Does the i'm
port movement suggest any increase
whatever over 1895, in the present sea-

the election of free silver Senator.

of Pritchard Populists the proposition
