FOUR FINANCIAL ACTS
important Laws That Have Been
Enacted by the Present
Administration.
spcccss Achieved Under the Dingiey y
TariG-RefOrm in the Currency
War Loan-Pacific Rail-
road Debt.

Washing ngton.-~Four achievements in
the management of the public finances
and revenues under the administra-
1ion of President Mckinley stand out
with marked prominence:
First, in point of success, is the
Dngley tariff; second, the reform in
the currency; third, the war loan of
1898. and fourth, the settlement of
the Pacific railroad inde
Perhaps never before in the his
tory of this country have so many
important fiscal achievements been
accomplished in so brief time. With
the exception of the Pacific railroad
settlement. these events bear, to a
considerable degree, relationship to
each other. Underlying the success
of the war loan of 1898 and the re-
form in the currency was the basis
of prosperity established by prompt
and effective tariff legislation. The
president well understood the neces-
sity for speedy modification in the
tariff Within As hours after his in
auguration he issued a proclamation
for an extra session of congress TO
assemble March Is, 1897. The brief
message sent to congress when it

of agriculture, which in the fiscal
year 1899 were S10O,OOO,0OO greater
than in the fiscal year 1897, and IN
1s9S were $2Oo,OOO,OOO in excess Of
those of 1897.
The message also recommended that
the new duues should be so levied as
"to aid and develop mining" That
mining has been greatly encouraged
is amply shown by Inc figures relating
to the two great mining industries,
coal and iron. The coal production of
1899 exceeds 20O,000O0O tons. against
170.OO0,0 600 in 1897 and 171.C00,OO0 in
1896, and has placed the United States
at the head of the worlds producers of
this article, our product in 1899 being
greater than that of any other coun-
try in the world. The pig-iron pro-
duction in 1899 was 13,620,70 tons,
against 1862 $50 tons in 1897 and
S,G23, ,127 tons in 1896 In pig iron, as
in coal, the United States now holds
the first place in the worlds produc-
ton.

same period aggregated 81 1866 ,GG3>

partment's estimate of war eXpendi-
lures of 1920 600, the net eXpen-
ditures for the period stand at 1884,
Cos. 400. leaving for the 30 months
operation of the Dingley tariff an ex-
cess of net receipts over net eNpen-
ditures of 1884, 4,664.
The president urged that the new
duties be so levied as "to revive and
increase manufactures" In the fis-
cal year 1897 the imports for the con
sumption of articles in a crude con-
dition which enter into the various
processes of domestic industry amount
ed to S207. .26S, ,155, and in the three
wears 1895. 1896 and 1897 averaged
less than 100000. coo annually, while
in the calendar year 1899 the imports
of this class amounted to S267 ,493. $50,
an increase of nearly S70,000,000 over
the average for the three years of
low tariff, in which many of these
articles. notably wool. were upon the
free list. At present the importation
of manufacturers materials is run
ming at the rate of 2S,000,000 per
month. or more than so per cent.
higher than the monthly average in
the year prior TO the enactment of
the Dingley law.
The president also urged that the
new duties should be so levied as ito
relieve and encourage agriculture"
That agriculture has oeen relieved and
encouraged is shown by the increased
prices for agricultural products, all
of which have materially advanced in
the home market, and by the large in
crease in expectation in the products

In panic the passengers rushed to the

1t was indeed perious situation.
What was to be done? There seemed to be
no rope at hand, and there was trouble in
lowering the llfeboat, and, as is usually the
case, none OF the sailors could swim.
A lawyer suggested a writ OF habeas cor
pus, but that was found impracticable, as
there was not Judge on board, and no one
to serve such a writ, anyway.
At that instant a man OF commanding
presence pushed into the frenzied crowd
and struck an attitude, close to the rail.
The drowning ones recognized him as a
famous political orator, and their spirits
rose:

convened on that day clearly demon
strated the urgent necessity for
prompt action.
The house of representatives
promptly responded to the presidents
message. On the same day in which
it was read in the house, the late Mr..
Din9lcy. of Maine, chairman of the
committee on ways and means, in
troduced the new tariff bill. Such
unusual expedition had been made
possible only by the untiring work
of the members of the committee on
ways and means for several months
previous.
The bill was passed in the house of
representatives March 81, 1897, less
than month after the Inaugural
ton of President Mckinley and two
weeks after congress had convened
in extra session. 1t passed the senate
July :, 1897. with amendments. Two
days later its consideration was be
gun by conference committee of the
two houses. and it finally passed the
house July 10 and the senate July "a.
1t became law on the latter day,
when the president signed the bill.
Thus within five months (no other
tariff law was ever passed in 80 short
a time) after the Inauguration OF
the president . new tariff law was
placed on the statute books. Under
its beneficent influences the United
States has enjoyed commercial and
industrial revival the greatest in its
history. The hopes of the president
as expressed in his message have beer
realized: ample revenues were pro-
vided for the ordinary expenses of
the government, and in providing
them duties were levied upon foreign
products. so as to preserve the home
markets; manufactures have revived
and increased; agriculture has been
relieved and encouraged; domestic and
foreign commerce have been increased:
mining and building have been aided
and developed, and more liberal wages
have been paid to labor.
Under the operation of the Wilson
act, from September !, 1894, to July
"a. 1897, a period of 35 months, there
was total deficit of $10S.002, ,243.
This deplorable state of the revenues
was largely responsible for that lack
of confidence which prolonged the
hard times inaugurated by the panic
OF 1893.
The DingIey tariff became law
July q. 1891. Under its operation
ample revenues have been provided,
as urged by President Mckinley.
During the period Of 80 months the
law has been in force, July "a, 1897,
to April /, 1900, the receipts Of the
government from all sources, eNclu-
sive Of Pacific railroad items, were
