and that the tax OH tea had only begun
to yield revenue, it is probable that the
present revenue taxes on sugar, tobacco,
and tea, will come to an increase of not
less than A cents per head. On the
other hand the import of goods which
are subject to the miscellaneous duties
is diminishing, Notwithstanding the ex-
haustion of any stock imported before
the Dingley bill came into force, July
"a, 1897. On the whole it may be
deemed fairly probable that the Dingley
act without the subsequent wal taxes
would have yielded So per head, but
this favorable view is rendered doubt
full by the diminishing imports of mis-
cellaneous dutiable goods since June 30.
In this estimate, however, many facts
must be considered in comparing the
very small yield of revenue from the
miscellaneous duties under the Dingley
act of $1.4O per head, with the $2.16
yielded on the average of the previous
twenty years.
No considerable revenue may hereafter
be counted on from metals and metallic
goods-formerly yielding a large rev.
nue.. No sum of any moment will be
secured from iron, steel, or copper, or
their products which formerly yielded
a large Supremacy in making
the steel plates which are the principal
element in the cost of tin plates has
been coupled with the substitution Of
machinery for the hand work of Wales
in this branch of industry. Under these
conditions a relatively very small force
of skilled workmen at high wages is en-
abled to convert black plates into tin
plates at so low a cost that it is more
likely that we shall become large ex-
porters of tin plates, rather than i'm
porters. The duties on wool are yield
ing much less than the expected rev
enue, having raised the cost of imported
wool so much as to have forced the
manufacturers to resort to cotton and
shoddy as a substitute. Aside from
these subjects of former revenue the
progress in many other manufactured
products formerly imported has enabled
us to export rather than to import. 1t
therefore follows that even if the mis-
cellaneous duties of the Dingley bill
we're reduced for the purpose of increas-
ing. the revenue, the result would prob
ably be followed by as great a disap-
pointment as has followed the enact
ment Of the Dingley act, which was ex-
pected to increase the revenue in the
sum of $l12, OOO, OOO-if I rightly recall
the speech of the Trainer Of it's introduc-
ton, which sum, had it been realized,
would have carried the per capita rev.

revenue taxes now in force, suffice to
meet the future expenditures on the as
sumption that the surplus in the treas I
ury at the beginning of the war with
the proceeds of the wal loan of $780,.
600, 900, will have suficed to cover the
actual cost of the active ~war-which
is a fair assumption?
The answer to this question will de-
pend entirely Upon the more important
question of how long we must endure
this state Of passive war into which the
active war with Spain has brought us.
By passive war is meant,
First. To what extent are we to con-
vert our navy, now more than ample
for defensive purposes, into an offensive
force?
Second. In what numbers, at what
cost, and for what length of time are we
to be subject to the burden of maintain
ing great armed forces in the Philippine
islands, in Cuba, and in Porto Rico;
also in Hawaii, if expensive fortitica-
tions and naval stations are undertaken,
where only a police force of not over
two hundred picked men will be re-
CURED to keep order?
Third. In what measure and to what
numbers will the burden of pensions be
augmented for the support of the very
large proportion of the white troops Tor
their widows and children), who will
either die of climatic diseases Or be dis
abled by fevers, malaria and venereal
disease, so as to be more or less incapa-
BILE Of self-support after the term has
expired of their enlistment, or for which
they may hereafter be drafted?
Fourth. How much will the present
revenue from sugar and tobacco be di-
minished when the products of Cuba,
Porto Rico, and the Philippine islands
come under the same revenue acts as
those which now apply to the United
States and to Hawaii?
1t has been made plain that the utmost
revenue that can be hoped for under
the Dingley act may be five dollars
In that computation the duties on sugar
must go up from 4O cents to Is cents
per head, while the disadvantage of
foreign tobacco on account of duties
may now be about 5 cents per head.

baby more. ..,...,1.... 80

The war revenue act is now yielding
a little less than two dollars per head
and may be safely computed at that

stamp taxes, which took effect at their
probable per capita maximum at once,

1t, therefore, appears that the Dingley
act did not yield the necessary sum, five
dollars per head, for the conduct of the
government economically administered.
The deficiency was forty-four cents per
head, which being computed on the es-
timated population of "a, 1888, 900 persons
amounts to $32, 731 100.

Would the Dingley bill have yielded a
revenue in the present fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1899, sufficient to meet
the normal rate of expenditure under
normal conditions at S. per head?
The total revenue on the computed
population June /, 1898, which is the
date established in the practice of the
treasury department for ascertaining the
per capita of receipts and expenditures
at $5 per head on an estimated popula-
ton of 1901 900, would amount to
$3.50, O55 900.
Bearing in mind that the revenue in
the last fiscal year was at the rate of
$4.56 per head, was attained under the

A Strong Indictment.

Anent the Bailey McMillan con- troversy and the opposition to Bailey for leader of the Democratic minority in the House, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal makes the fol- lowing strong indictment against the Democratic party and it's lead- CTS:
 aEvil days have come to the Dem- ocratic party. It is not only a mi norlty party;it is not only become a rarty of negation, but a turbulent and faction bedeviled party of nega- tion. It has no leaders and no ob- jective point to which to lead The tinseI of place and position is more thought of than are principles or policies. Wha5 was once great party that stood for the broadest statesmanship has degenerated into a number of insurrectionery factions who agree only on one policy. that sublimely stupid policy of doing nothing and of objeeting to every thing proposed by the Republicans. Conditions such as these cannot last because they will destroy and oblt- crate. The questio of leadership in the House amounts to little so long as there is no cohesion among members. The Republicans are ex- tending the trade of the country, opening new territory, building schools and c3urthouses in our new possessions and, whether right or wrong, are doing something to show that they have reason for being in existence. If the Democrats in Congress would supplant Bailey with an expausionist who is in bar- mony with the spirit of the age, and who is not belated wanderer among the raths and ruins of ansi- quated theories and traditions, there would be some hope for th party, but as long as Democracy means do nothing, Bailey is as good as any one else that can be named

lIr. Woods in Chicago Geu. H.. k. White Raised $500
 This Morning,

For several years past Pine Bluff has been almost begging capitalists to come to this city and erect an electric car line and light plant. Several made unsuccessful attempts. Last summer Mayor Bell interested Messrs. Covington and Harrison, two electric car magnates of Peru, Ind, and their attempts were un- successful. These people, after re turning to Peru, notified the Vest ingbouse Electrical Co., at Pitts burg, Pa, of their failure. The Westinghouse people took up the matter and sent Mr c. w. Reges- ter, an experienced engineer, to thls place, where he took a map of the city and returned to Chicago. A few weeks afterwards MT. Henry 2. Wood, a Chicago attorney, came to this city and began subscriptions. Col. s. ". Fordyce, late president of the St. Louis Southwestern Rail way, headed the list with $5, ,00O. Others followed and at this writing only $2, TOO is needed, as $31, 300 has been subscribed by Pine Bluffans.
 This morning $5, ,0O0 was lacking and Gen. White took the list and by dinner had thirteen $1O0 sub scribers. The g, 700 that is needed will oo gotten up this afternoon by Gen. White, and we can safely say the Pine Bluff electric car line will
