THE GROWING DEFICIT.

The Newman Herald notes that re-
publican tinkering with the tariff has
not proved panacea for the ills of the
government, and calls attention to the
growing treasury deficit under the
Dingley bill's operations.
In the course of the tariff discussion
in congress last spring, says the Her
aid, Mr.. Dingley, the author of the
bill which was ultimately enacted into
law, proclaimed that the only way to
meet the exigencies of growing def
cit in the governments revenue was
to increase the duty on imports, and
likewise extend the list of articles sub.
jeet to such duty.
The argument offered by leading
democrats, in both branches of con-
gress, that higher duties would dimin-
ish rather than increase the revenues
was set at naught by the republican
majority, and on July 25th the Ding
ley bill became a law.
Now, let us see how it has operated.
The law went into effect August l.
From that date until the third week in
September the total revenue amounted
to $31 $40, 1855, and the expenditures to
$48, 847 ,058, leaving a deficit for the
short period named of ST., POS, 1902. For
the same period of 1896 the deficit was
only $40, 246, 1867, and S., 1925, 400 in 1895.
1t is now calculated by the treasury
experts at Washington that by January
/, 1898, the deficit will reach $45 900 900
with total available cash in the treas
ury of less than 100000
Thus we have as a result of republi-
can tinkering with the tariff
/. Increased expenditures.
,. Diminished income.
3. Depleted cash reserve.
4. Increased cost of living to the
consumer.
5. Protection for the manufacturer
6. No protection for the producer.
This includes the sum and substance
of republican Legislation in the inter
est of the American people. Having
failed to provide revenue in sufficient
amount to meet the expenses of the
government, and confronted by a de
felt that is growing each day it is APP
parent that another bond issue is in

JUDGE SHEFFIELD WAS RIGHT.

More Approval of His Charge to the Quit
man Grand Jury.
From the Dalton Argus.
In his charge to the Quitman grand
jury Judge Sheffield said great furore
had been recently raised in this state
over the condition of the convicts, but
he for one was emphatically in favor of
treating criminals as enemies to society.
and seeing to it that they were punished
or their offences.
Judge Sheffield, in this, clearly ex-
pressed the sentiment of the best people
of the state. While they are opposed
to treating convicts brutally they have
no patience with the maudlin sentiment
that sympathises alone with the convlcts,
nor with the political grand stand players
who bow TO the negro and criminal vote
of the state.
There is plenty of room, fresh ar and
freedom on the outside. If the criminal
classes desire better treatment let them
refrain from stealing, numbering, etc. for
a season. The Argus is opposed to fur
Their burdening tax-ridden people for
their benefit.
