Taxes and Patriotism.

There is an impression that the
war taxes are expected to produce
something like $2OO,OOO,OOO. 1t is a
mistake.
The estimated revenue that will
be produced by the new system OF
taxation amounts in all to 1884, 000,-
600 but the revenue for the present
year upon some OF the items
amounts to $146,OOOOOO The differ
ence, $13S,0OO,OOO, is the increase
over the amount levied in times OF
peace. Strictly speaking, then, the
war taxes amount to comparatively
small sum and are so we'll distribut-
ed that no one will feel the burden
in serious way.
Thus far there has not been an
expression Of dissatisfaction from
any source. This graceful acquies-
ence on the part of the people is
but another evidence of intense, I'M

MERRITT's FIRST ACT

Will Be to Open Manila to Com
MERGE Then Comes the Tariffs -
Revenues to Be Collected BY An
Expert-These Receipts Will Not
Be Turned Into the Treasury
But Will Be olassed as q Mill
tary Contribution.
New York, July "a Washing
ton special to the Herald says: One
OF Major General Merritt's first Off
cial acts as a military governor OF the
Philippines after the city OF Manila
is firmly in possession Of the United
States forces will be to declare that
port open to commerce.
When this is done President Nc
Kinley will make public the
schedules which have been prepared
fixing tariff duties that must be paid
on goods imported into the islands.
These schedules have been prepared
by the Treasury Department and
are now in the possession of the
President, but they will not be made
public until the time for putting
them into effect. Revenues will be
collected by customs expert sent
out by the Treasury Department,
who will act under the directions
of General Merritt. AS long as the
customs are collected under direc-
ton of the military governor they
will not be turned into the treasury
as part of the ordinary customs re-
ceipts Of the country, but will be
accounted as a military contribu-
ton"
The tariff schedule for the Philip
pines will not follow closely the
United States tariff rates in the
Dingley law, but are based on rates
that Spain had in force, with such
notifications as seem desirable.
1t ID expected that the port OF
Manila will be the first one at which
the new tariff will be put into
operation, but it will be extended
to such other ports in the islands as
General Merritt may open FROM
time to time, and also to the La
drone Islands, which will be under
the Jurisdiction of General Merritt
as will also the Carolines, il they are
taken from Spain before that coun-
try sues for peace. If the islands
are permanently held by the United
States the decision as to what
revenue and other laws are to be
enforced will rest with Congress-
S. r. Call.
