strenuous Efforts were made TO sup

The Republicans had great difficulty
in putting the Porto Rican tariff bill
through the House a few weeks ago.
That difficulty promises to be greatly
increased over the Foraker bill. The
House Republicans have been hearing
from their constituents in an unpleas-
ant way, and some fifty of them have
felt impelled thereby to go home and
attempt to fix up their fences. Aside
from the increasing reluctance of many
more Republicans to support the tariff
a second time. it Il going to be very
hard work to brig enough of them
back to Washington TO vote even if a
majority can be commanded for this
thoroughly unpopular measure.
Squandering the Peoples Money.
The books of the treasury show that
there has been received during the past
forty years from bonds and other evil
dences of Indebtedness, aside from the
cost of issuing the same, the sum of
S17.343, Gal, 1893. IS. We have expended
upon these bonds more than we have
received from the bonds, the sum of
$9J1 ,664, 661.10 We have practically
paid none of the Indebtedness, al
though we have paid out $1,000,000,-
900 more than we have received. 1t
would cost us to-day as much money
to redeem our Indebtedness as it would
have cost us in 1866, when our indebt-
edness was at its highest point. We
owe Us much as we did then, when the
cost of redeeming the bonds is consid-
cred and yet we have already paid 90
per cent. more than the entire debt.
1t is very difficult to determine the
cost of issuing Londs and other evil
dences of indebtedness, but this was
made the subject of an extended inyes-
