The Problem Before M'Kiniey.

The financial problem before the
next Administration and Congress is
to frame and pass a measure of taxa
ton that will increase the revenues
about 500, 100000.
The deficit this year, on the basis
of billion dollar appropriations, will
be nearly S50,000,0O0. The appro
priations of this Congress are certain
to excel the present Init by $40,
000.090 or more.
Mr.lMcKinley's Chicago organ, the
Times Her Id, admits that "to con
strucs protective measure that will
yield Si00,00o,000 more than any
previous tariff law is an undertaking
that will require the highest order
Of genius and craftsmanship"
Congressman Mcmillan, in an in

ed this to he al impossibiliy. He

ley lrw Of 1890, framed on tho very
principle that is now gniding Mr..
Dngley 1T increased tho taxes OF

nues of the government" He show
ed that for the three years of 1888.
1889 aud 1890 The su, Illus revenue
averaged nearly $l0O,0O0,O00. In
1891, under the first act of the Me
Krnley net, the surplus fell to SIG,
