the ten years ended with 1899 be made by
weight. the deficiency in this years crop is
only S,00S.7S6 bushels of sixty pounds

the crop of 1900 is by measure nearly per

Mckinley Campaign Argument

Following the cue set by the President
in his letter of acceptance. the Republi-
can press of the country during the last
few weeks has made predictions of re-
duction IN the war revenue taxes Arti-
cles purporting to bear official sanction
have been appearing in which the an
nouncement is made that the immense
surplus" in the Treasury has grown TO
such a size. and the revenues of the Gov
ernment are so enormous. that Congress
at the next session Will certainly be called
upon to cut down many of the war taxes.
This promise, it is said, is being largely
used by Republican campaigners
Enquiry among Treasury officials shows
that the receipts of the Government are
now barely equal to the drain caused by
war expenses and the great civil list that
has been built up by the Republican Ad-
ministration.
The income of the Government during
the past year was s167, ,61s, ,s21. sc, and the
expenditures were $164, So, ,S23. zr
