An Unwise Suggestion.

The prospect of large surplus at the
end of the present fiscal year has al
ready started talk as to the propriety
Of reducing the revenue. This is al
ways plausible suggestion because it
implies reduction of taxes, but when
the taxes are easily borne and little
felt, then repeal is of very doubtful
wisdom, especially if the revenue thus
cut off may be needed in the near flu
ture. The repeal of the duty ON tea
and coffee did not reduce the price of
those articles to consumers a particle,
and there have been times since 1t was
done when the government needed the
revenue thus unwisely cut off. The
prospective surplus this year may be
due to exceptional conditions, and next
year or the year after may show a
much smaller surplus, or none at all.
Indeed, says the Indianapolis Journal,
the surplus may not be nearly as large
six months hence as it now promises
to be. The suggestion for speedy re-
duction of revenue Is unwise.
