La Junta tribune. (La Junta, Bent County, Colo.) 1881-1939, 1898-03-05

From the Chicago Post Rep.), Feb.
IA: Today the Tribune is terribly
alarmed lest an immateriaI increase in
the volume OF imports for 1897, when
compared with those of 1889, may pre-
sage permanent decline in one source
OF national revenue. With the utmost
gravity 1t contrasts the receipts last
year OF $764.730,412 with those of 1889
of $745.131.652, and fairly shudders
over an increase of only $4,000 900 In
eight years. We tremble to think what
would have been the condition of our
contemporary had it stumbled on
comparison with the imports OF 1893,
which were 1886, ,400.922. A decline OF
over 800 900, 900 would probably have
superinduced collapse in its present
greenback condition. But why did the
Tribune choose 1889 for the purpose of
comparison? Why not 1887, when the
imports were $692 2,319, ,76s, or 1879. when
they were only s445.777.775? Simply
because the Tribune was searching for
comparison on which to hang one OF
its pessimistic pleas about the Need
of New Sources Of Revenue" Because
the people Of the United States are
practicing economy and not buying as
largely Of imported goods as in fiushs
times the Tribune would have us be-
lieve that We are to wear no more Inn
ported silks or drink no more wines
and ale. The most casual glance up
and down the figures OF yearly impor-
tation shows that the fluctuations fol-
low the times OF financial prosperity
and depression. There was drop in
1876 OF over $1so,o00. 900 from the i'm
portations Of 1873, OF about 314e, 900 900
in 1856 from those OF 1883 and Of over
<211 ,O00. 900 in 1894 from those Of 1898.
The true Interpretation of these nuc-
tuations is that in prosperous times
we consume more imported merchan-
disc ~ well as Of domestic products.
and that IN hard times we economiss
BY sticking closer to merchandise or
home manufacture. For the sneuur.
agement Of the Tribune We would say
that the volume Of imports Il steadily

1t was pleasant evening. The earl
found out another accomplishment Of
his wife's-she was an almost perfect
musician. she sang like on inspired.
The love. the passion. the tenderness.
that found no vent in her ordinary life
found vent in song. The rich. low
contraito voice was more beautiful
than anything he had ever heard. She
sang like one whose whole soul Is
turned to song. She had set to sweet
sad music the poets passionate
words
"'Oh. cruel love'-she changed her
oh, cruel love. whose end is scorn!
Is this the end. to be left alone.
To live forgotten. and die forlorn?'"
She sang them with such sweet
pathos. 1t was Of herself she was
thinking Who was more forlorn than
she-who more neglected?
"oh. cruel love. whose end is scorn"
What charming music." said Lady
Courtenay. Whose is 1t? do not
remember to have heard 1t before, and
am familiar with most modern songs
whose is IT."
MY own" replied Hildred. When
ever words please me very much. they
always set themselves to music in my
own mind"
THE words are SO sad-'To live for
gotten and die forlornT How can
they please one so young as you?"
1T is the fate Of many" said Hill
dred. slowly.
1T may be. but 1t will never be yours
you, Countess of Carayen, young.
gifted. beloved
There are many ways of dying"
said Hildred. 1T is more bitter than
death to some to live without love: yet
many live without it,
You have strange thoughts for one
OF your age. should have imagined
that dresses and Jewels. balls and
dances. would have been In your
thoughts rather than sad ideas OF life
and love-"
Should you? like balls and dances
very much" said Hildred, trying to
speak lightly-she had no great desire
to reveal to a stranger the secrets of
her life and heart.

asked me II could sing at ALL"
II do not remember doing So" he
said. Have you any more surprises!" ?"
She looked up at him brightly.

| told you that l could speak German"
she said. 81 was afraid that you con-
sidered accomplishments something to
be concealed. shall never tell you Of
any OF mine.''
With a glance. half laughing. half
naughty. she took up the sheet Of mu-
sic and crossed the room. Lady
Courtenay looked curiosly into the face
OF the earl.
''Hac you never heard your wife
sing, really?" she asked.
mo. had not, indeed" he replied.
IF were a man, and had wooed
SO sweet a songtress. I should have
spent long hours over the piano." she
said. II thought you always liked
music SO much

know my wife could sing; she makes
no parade of her talent"
mo" said Lady Courtenay to her
self, ''nor do think that you have
made any great parade of your love-
But she said no more-the subject was
evidently not pleasing to the earl.

| REVENUE ALL RIGHT.
D1NcLEY TARIFF WILL SUP
PORT GOVERNMENT.
A. Time Progresses Many Satisfactory
Evidences Arc No:cd-somc Compari-
sons with the Late Wilson Tarin Act
Period of Uncertainty Past.

Two predictions regarding the Ding
ley law revenues for the current
month were made by the American
Economist of January Z. 1898. as fol-
lows:
For the present month the Economist
confidently expects that the Wilson law
figures of January, 1897. will be ex-
ceeded by more than $3.Oo0.000 in GUS
toms receipts alone. while the excess
from all sources will not fall below
$5.00o,0Oo as compared with last jan
uary. Owing to the heavy demands
upon the treasury in the shape OF In
terest payments surplus for January
Is not anticipated, but 1t Is safe to look
for an actual surplus in February and
March.
These estimates were based upon the
reasonable expectation Of increased
customs revenues as the country ap-
preached more nearly to normal con-
ditions as regards importations. How
accurately the situation was fore
shadowed is shown by the returns at
hand from official sources, which give
a total revenue for January OF 29.o00.-
0c0. against $24,316.994 under the Will
son law in January. 1897: while the
revenue from customs this month has
been sl4,269, ,492, against $11 ,276,S S74 un-
der the Wilson law In January, 1897.
The excess of receipts from all sources
+, falls but little short OF S5,00O,00O,
while the excess OF customs receipts,
as compared with customs receipts un-
der the Wilson law for the same month
year ago. is $2.992.6lS. The reckon
Ing of the Economist a month ago was
/ very near the mark.
Tho returns for the first full six
months OF the Dingley law. ending
with January, 1898. as compared with
the receipts of the Wilson law for the
corresponding months Of the previous
year are as follows:

In ordinary circumstances the jan
uary receipts under the Dingley law
would leave large surplus. but for the
month just closed there have been some
unusual expenditures, such as $12, 2,375.-
900 for pensions and $5.s43,o00 for in
terest ON the public debt. Disburse-
nients for the current month of Feb
ruary will drop back to normal av-
erage, while with continued large i'm
portations OF wool and an increase In
the arrivals Of foreign sugar and other
articles to make good the inroads upon
the enormous oversupply of the clos
ing months of the Wilson law, the
customs and internal revenues may be
expected to show healthy and natural
increase.
The period of uncertainty regarding
one feature OF the operations of the
Dingley tariff is at an end. AS pro-
ducer OF revenue the law is proving
itself to be an unqualified success.
