Indignation, moved him? Had he
grown ashamed Of his incidence? Had
he tired of his pleasures?
Sitting opposite to him at dinner
time, she looked at him attentively.
Certainly there was a change in his
face. 1t was brighter, keener, nor on
the alert: the eyes were full of light;
he seemed interested in what was go

Sir Raoul's glance, and it was full of

THE WAR REVENUE BILL.
Tho Title That Ought to BE Given
DinSley'S Measure.

Tina Title That Ought to BE Given
Dingley'S Measure.
Dingleys War revenue bill ought to
be entitled "A bill to more thoroughly
commit the United States to the sim
gle gold standard, and to aid in the
establishment Of bank rule in the
United States,' says the Silver Knight
Waterman. The committee estimates
that the increased revenUe by taxation
will be from 500, coo, 900 to 500, 900 ,0C0,
as follows: Fermented liquor, $50, 0O0,-
600; tobacco, $4,000, 900; cigars, So
O00, 900; dealers in tobacco and cigars,
$1,000, 900; stamp taxes on documents,
kilograms, etc, $50. 000, 900; stamp tax
on wines, mineral waters. etc. ,undeter-
mined; tonnage tax on vessels engaged
in foreign trade, 1900, 900. The bill
is elaborate and complicated in de-
tail. 1t consists of forty-four pages,
and if enacted into law its administra-
ton will be most veXatious and an
noying. 1t reaches every branch OF
business and trade, and complexities
every transaction with stamp duties
too numerous and complex for descrip-
ton.
The bill also provides for issuing
$500, 000, 900 of twenty-year three per
cent bonds and $500, OO0, 900 of short
time 3 per cent bonds. If this scheme
is carried into effect the Gage and the
indianapolis currency schemes will be
practically accomplished. When the
taxes proposed in the bill are once
levied they will remain in peace as
we'll as in war, while a gold standard
president is in office. The 1920, 900 900
now in the treasury, the $500, 000, 900
of bonds and the 500, 600, 900 surplus
revenue which the new tax law would
produce will soon cover into the treas
ury all the greenbacks, treasury notes
and silver certificates now outstanding
unless the expenses of the war shall
far exceed the most extravagant esti-
mates which have been made.
The new 3 per cent bonds just fits
the proposed banking scheme. No
further legislation would be necessary
to retire all government money but
gold to make room for bank currency.
All the amendment to the banking law
which would be necessary would be
to authorize the banks to receive cur
rency from the government equal to
the par value Of their bonds. The cold
blooded proposition Of the committee
to load the people with excessive taxa
ton and load the government with
$500, 600, 900 of new bonds is as desti-
tute of patriotism as Shylock was Of
charity and benevolence.

Wife-something piquant. He waited
for her in the drawing room, where
the blinds were still undrawn, and
through the windows of which a lovely
moon was shedding floods of silvery
light.
Presently the door opened and his
wife came in. She had removed the
jewels from her hair and her breast;
her lovely face shone with a new light:
her rich dress, her dark hair, made her
a most attractive picture. She went
up to him.

"That shall not happen if | can pre-

She stopped suddenly, looking terri

months Of the fiscal year; whose detailed
record the bureau of statistics has Just
completed, the exports of manufactures
exceed by over s4O,OOO,Oo0 the value of
the manufactures imported, and it is
probable that for the full years record
this excess will reach 550,G00.OO0 In no
preceding year in the history OF the
country have the exports OF manufac-
tures equaled in value. the imports Of
manufactured articles. In the fiscal
year 1897 the imports Of manufactured
articles exceeded the value, OF exports of
manufactures by the sum OF go, 1862 PIT;
in 1896 by s1O4, 759, 1874, and in 1895 by
Sl91,413,783. Nearly every branch of
the great manufacturing industries has
shared in the growth of sales to other
parts OF the world. The exports of
agricultural Implements, for instance,
which in 1883 were about 100000 in
value, will in the year 1888 be in round
numbers s6,O0L,OOO. Locomotive en-
gines, whose exportation in 1888 was
bas than 5000 900 in value, will in 1898
neach probably s4,OOO,0O0, orders for
more than $50 engines having been
placed with the great manufacturing
establishments during the. last two
months for use in China, Japan, Russia.
Egypt, Australasia and. South America.

tions in the west: The. iron and steel
business is sustained at the wast to an
extent which few apprecia ate blythe agI-

makers far exceed all records; and SO
for farm wagons and fencing: The de-
mand for materials usecH.in ollinar,,l

throughout the west, and especially<fo1'
the smaller steel structures in many
scattered towns. Then Genes the ex.
traordinary demand for railway cars

Havana itself. And all this will prob.
ably be effected with less effort and less
loss to to the c]onquerors than have been
known IN any other campaign of equally
important results. 1t will be observed,
too, that this is the ca tern ED of the
island. nearest to Porto Rico. 1t is to
be presumed that invasion of the latter
island will quickly follow. The Santi-
ago and Porto Rico campaigns will thus
be within communication of each other
without passi, Z a mile OF hostile coast,
and the only friendly coast which any
Spanish flee! might Lope to reach will
he that funniest Of all to Spain and to
be reached only by passing those coasts
already in u grasp.
These things accomplished and the
investment and capture of Havana will
be at hand. The resistance will not be
stout, when the greater part of the island
is already in the hands Of the Ameri-
cans. To have besieged Havana at first
would have been unwise, since it is gar
risoned by 100000 Spanish troops and
the Unjted States has not had up to
this Tins an effective forse to put against
them. But when the siege of Havana
comes in the progress of the campaigns
t1ere will be an efficient army for the
purpose ana the city will be taken with
the least pos sible loss of men.

Roosevelt left the navy departmsnt-in
fact almost at the opening of the war
he made two suggestions to the strategy
board. One of them. was the sudden
descent of Dewey upon Manila and the

out successfully. The other was not a
less bold stroke at the heart of Spain

there, trusting to the fact that the
