The Dingley act amended to provide suf-
fcient revenue for the conduct Of the war
has so well performed its work that it has
been possible to reduce the war debt in
the sum of S40,OOO,000. So ample are the
governmentss revenues, and SO great Is the
public confidence In the integrity of Its OBJ
legations that its newly funded z per cent
bonds sell at a premium. The country is
now justified in expecting and it will be
the policy of the republican party to- bring
about a reduction of the war taxes.
