The protect0nists are trying 10 rldi-
cuie Mr. Wilson's statement but they
cannot got around the facts President
Mckinley calls attention TO the dca-
cheney for the fiscal year ended June so,
1891. and he and Mr.. Wilson agree as 20
the figures. Bu, Mr. Wilson states what
the President did not state, that this de-

ar Wilson then adds:
This statement shows how absurd ana
eroundless is tho claim constantly made

in revenue are due 10 the substitution or

Nothing is more certain than that If the
bin rad been in force during the last

been immensely swollen. while the people
in a season OF depression and hard times
would have staggered under much heavier
burdens OF taxation.
1t IS also interesting 10 note that as

tic deficit began to decrease. Tor the

proves receipts would continue 20 in-

Inmates that further reduction in The cX-
