This paper is Democratic IN PRINCIPLES
and is independent an its rie,os on aa toea
questions.
Dingleyism to Date.

The Dingley tariff continues to operate
as it did before the War broke out. 1t
has not materially increased the employ
ment of labor. 1t has not ap~preeiably IN
creased wages in any branch of industry,
and it has not prevented a consideraoie
decrease in the rates paid to cotton oper-
atives. 1t has greatly increased the price
of the cheaper grades of clothing, as a
casual inspection of the dry goods ana
men's wear advertisements will show.
Above all. it has failed in the special
purpose which furnished the pretext for
the enactment of the measure. we are
now in the tenth month of its potency
and in the leventh of the current hseai
year. and the deficit, which speedily
leaned to frantic excess over all previous
records. still keeps on growing. In the
ten months of Dingleyism, only two nave
so far shown an excess of revenue, and IN
these the figure was so small as to be
ridiculous. There is no reasonable hope
of any better showing this month, and
even if a lively summer trade gives a
balance to the good for June, the miser-
able blunder will end the fiscal year with
the most colossal deficit ever recorded
since the days of the Civil War.
Of course, the deficit we here speak OF
is totally independent of special war ex-
penditures. 1t would be neither fair nor
useful to count them in. hi the tarlT
has benefited by the Wal is probable.
Many articles have been imported and
have paid duty, which were bought abroad
in anticipation of a possible interruption
of n on account of the
heavy Government demand for some COM
modIties. These cannot, however, be
separated from the general line of i'm
ports. and so we cannot tell how much
less the Dingley income would have been
If hostihties had not broken out. On the
other side of the account, however, it is
possible to arrive at an approximate idea
of What the war is costing u.s. IL is only
necessary to take last years expenditures
on the army int avy and consider them
as the normal cost of the two establish
ments-as a matter of fact they were high
in April and May-and by subtracting
these amounts from this years payments,
we get a fair idea of hat the Wa is
costing US. By subtracting this in turn
from the current excess of expenditures,
we arrive at the amount of the Dingley
deficit upon a scale of normal expendi-
ture.
Taking yesterdays figures, we find that
the month to date produces the following
results in comparison with those of May,
1897 and 1885,
1895. 1897. 1896.
