That S30OOO,OOO increase of revenue
over expenses during the four months
that closed the operations of the Cor
man-Wilson tariff, are legitimately to
be credited to the receipts of the gov
eminent under the administration and
working of the Dingley tariff. Those
months only showed a surplus because
the importations were piled up to save
the duties under the new tariff. That
$50, 100000 does not fully measure the
less to the revenue under that late
tariff, because the increased duties
would have raised that S30,000,00O to
100000. OF course there is no eX-
pectatiOn that the Democrats will ac-
cept this demonstration, but to the adj
vocate of the present tariff it points
conclusively to a period not far dis
tant in which the revenues of the ma
ton will more than meet its current
expenses and the payment of the ma
tional debt be resumed.

Take the farm products of the cOuD-
try and compare the prices that they
now bring in the eastern markets with
the prices that were obtained one year
ago, and there is seen the reason why
the farmers of the country are not
kicking against the change in the pol
icy of the country. In the staples of
flour, corn, pork, mutton, potatoes, but
ter, eggs, wool and hides the increase
has been in the neighborhood of 40 per
cent, on an average. If it is true that
the condition of the farmer is an in
deX of the condition of the country,
and that when the farmer is prosper
Gus all prosper, then there is little
more TO be desired in that direction.
Prosperity is right ON deck.

There is on overproductiOn of iron
in the southern states. and the analo-
gy that is attempted to be drawn be-
tween that and cotton is very far
fetched. Southern iron is put on the
market little lower than the north
ern mills can place it, and therefore
orders for the southern product come
pouring in. Alabama iron is not, how
ever, Of so fine quality as much of that
with which it comes into competition,
and in finer qualities the dependence
must still be upon those sections
where the native ore is of the better
grade. IL Texas had the coal that is
found at the Alabama mines there is
no section of the iron producing world
could compete with it.

How far it is the province of the
government to supply the wants Of
those who have rushed into conditions
thar necessarily entail starvation, and
this in the mad race for wealth, is a
question that may well ask considera-
ton. Not one of all the thousands
who are now threatened with desti-
tuition on the Klondike trail, but was
warned of the consequences and yet
they persisted. What right have they
to draw upon the resources of the gov
eminent? The humanitarian cry is a
hard one to resist, and there is no
criticism of the government for it's Of
fered relief, but on what principle
of equity is the money and service Of
the government placed at the disposal
OF these gold hunters, rather than at
the disposal Of thousands in all the lar
ger cities, who are not self convicted
of having recklessly placed themselves
in conditions of peril. If the argu-
ment is purely humanitarian one,
then the burden Of it lies on the side
of aiding those who have not put
themselves voluntarily and with
aforethought in conditions
Of enforced privation. 1t seems I'M
generous to carp at aid thus offered
to any who are destitute, but it is so
one sided in this case that the ques-
ton of the right of the government to
interpoSe must be raised. 1t also offers
a premium for reception of the
same foolishness year hence.

England has at last concluded that
there will be no more refuge afforded

France and Germany and Austria and
Italy and Russia are not harboring
these gentry they will naturally turn
their steps to TIE United States.
Here also good Money could be made
by returning them to the port from
whence they sailed. If no country
would receive them, some island in
the fathcmless deep could be assigned
them jand they could set up an an
arcBstic government of their own.
HOW they would thrive in their native
