A REPUBLICAN SCHEME.

When the revenue bill to raise
money to prosecute the war against
Spain was prepared by the Ways and
Means Committee no Democrat was
consulted. 1t was the idea of the
Republicans to have measure
strictly partisan in character, strictl,
in the interest Of Republicans, and
then to force the Democrats in Con-
gress to vote for it under the plea that
1t was war measure and it would be
"unpatriotic' to oppose it. This sort
of bulldOZing is evideu tly going to be
the method followed by the admins
tration party, and the Republican
press has received instructions from
Boss Hanna, whose cringing slave it
is. to work the "obstructionist racket"
for all it is worth. There can be no
donbt that there are many things in
the revenue bill which should not be
there, but much more is it true that
there are many things not in that bill
that should be in it. Necessities of
life are taxed tn the utmost, but in
comes and luxuries are not touched.
The poor mans glass Of beer and his
pipe must be levied on to help pay the
expenses OF war. To be sure. the rich
man bought protection during the
last Presidential campaign by paying
large SUMS of money to Hanna, but
there was no talk of war then, and the
bargain ought to be declared off be-
cause OF the change in conditions.
While the Republican majority in
Congress voted cheerfully to tax the
necessities of the people, the inquiry
will not down as to why such corpo-
rations as the giant Standard OIL COM
bine should escape without the tri
butte Of single penny to the war
fund. Why should the man who has
to spend money for the necessities Of
life be forced to pay tax on every
cent he spends, while the man who
receives an income of $4,000 a day
does not have to. pay cent of tax?
And yet administration papers say
Democrats are "obstructionists" be-
cause those same Democrats want to
equalize the burden of war by MAX
ing the rich help the poor to carry it.

BRITISH NAVAL EXPENDITURE.

BRITISH NAVAL EXPENDITURE.
In an article referring to the Naval
Expenditure and Mercantile Marine of
various countries, the London Times
says: 'We thus have the maritime
trade of the United Kingdom estimat-
ed at 4 S22, 15S,000; that of India ut
& 116, 451 ,095; that of the self govern
ing colonies at e 49,, 195, 16S, and that
of other colonies at e IT'S, 100000.
But in order to arrive at the total
value of British maritime interests we
must still add some very large sums,
of which no account is taken either In
the present return or in any of it's pre-
decessors. Thus C 100000 at least
must be added for the value of the
shipping, estimated at over 10000, 900
tons.
Again it is well known that large
portion of the maritime commerce of
other nations is carried in British
ships, and is to large extent owned
by British merchants in transit. The
value of this item was estimated in
1894 by correspondent, who critics.
ed the return of that year in our col
umns, at not less than 350,O0O,OO
and the same correspondent pointed
out that the value of securities and
other marketable documents annually
carried to and fro in British ships
could not be less than e250,000, 900.
Adding all these items together We
find that the total value of British
maritime interests must, on the basis
adopted in the present return, be es-
