TREASURY AND PROSPERITY.
Large Revenues and Increased Inn
ports Resulting from Wise
Trade Policy.

Most people were looking for only a
small excess in the governments re-
ceipts over its expenditures in the fs-
cal year 1903. The last of the war
taxes had been repealed, and that
source of revenue being removed, it
was natural to suppose that the gov
ernment's income would shrink con-
siderably. The falling off, though, has
been slight. The customs receipts are
larger than for the same tine last year,
while the internal revenues for the
ten months just expired of the fiscal
year are only $4,000, 900 shorter than
they were in the same time in the pre-
ceding twelvemonth. The surplus of
receipts over expenditures for theften
months is slightly in excess of $685.
100000.
OF course, this is a result of the
business prosperity of the country,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The people are buying more of every
thing than they were year ago. The
imports have increased. making, as is
well known, a much larger income for
the government from that source than
had been looked for. There has been a
large consumption of all the articles on
which internal taxes are levied. These
circumstances make the calculations
of the leading experts of the country
regarding the governments probable
income vary widely from the facts.
From the present indications, the
surplus for the fiscal year will come
close to the $5O,O00.0OO mark. This
may incite attempts for further reduc-
tions of the revenue next winter, but
it is safe to predict that nothing of
the sort will be agreed to. SO long as
the present prosperity lasts there will
be large revenues, even from the pres
ent taxes. and the prosperity is like
ly to last several years more. But il
would be unwise to cut down the gov.
ernment's income by legislation any
farther at this time. The tendency
of its outgo will be to increase AZ

in the number and extent of its activi.

ROOSEVELT PREFERRED.
Western Democrats md Popuiists
Know Where He stands and
Respect Him.


A western democrat, who is a United,
States senator said in Washington the
other day: "It will be very difficult
for the democrats to nominate man
who can poll the full democratic vote
in the west against President Roose-
velt."
In giving his reasons for holding
this view, the democratic senator
said: "a democratic candidate for pres
ident would. have to be as radical as
Bryan to hold the radical democrats,
and those democrats who are conserv-
ative would prefer Roosevelt and the
conservatism of his party to the con
servatism of even Mr.. Cleveland,
elected by the radical party"
In other words, this democratic SEN
ator believes that many of the demo-
Gratis who voted for Mckinley in 1896
and in 1900 will vote for Roosevelt in
1904 and, in addition, many of the
democrats who voted for Bryan in
1900 will vote for Roosevelt in prefer
ence to Cleveland in 1904.
In the view of this democratic SEN
ator the Bryan democrats will sup
port Mr.. Roosevelt, not because he rep
resents their views or their policies,
but because of his courage in attacking
trust evils. Many populists, it is de
clared, who left the Republican party
years ago will return because "Presi-
dent Roosevelt has restored confidence
in the republican party as q party of
the plain people as well as of the rich
and powerful. He is the most popular
president we have ever had, so far as
popularity is based onconfidence in the
courage as well as the integrity of a
great executive"
On the same day that this declara-
tion was made in Washington. former
State Senator Edwin Taylor, one of the
populist leaders in Kansas, said. in an
interview: Between Wall street and
Roosevelt, ! stand for Roosevelt. He
is our man for next years race. He is
not exactly our kind of people. but he
has courage. Kansas will give Roose-
welt 100000 majority, but lots of the
Kansans who will vote for him will con-
tinue to hate his ideals"
If either of these interviews indi-
Gates political tendency both are
significant. The conservative as well
as the radical democrats of the west,
the silver republicans. and the popu-
lists who were formerly republicans
are represented as facing toward
Roosevelt because they yhaveconfdence
in him even the most radical among
them supporting him because of his

ENDORSED ROOSEVELT.
Pennsylvania Republican Convent
Also Nominated Four Candidates
State OnipaR.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 2s.-The rt1
publican state convention on Wede
nesday endorsed President Roosevelt
for denomination and declared
against any change in the present
tariff schedule. The state admins
tration was strongly endorsed and
no mention was made in the platform
of the Grady-Salus libel law enacted
by the recent legislature. Senator
Quay declined to accept reelection
as chairman of the state committee
and his colleague, Senator Boies
Penrose, was chosen his successor.
The convention was remarkable for
the unanimity with which it disposed
of it's business and the lack of con-
test for the four places on the state
ticket. Senator William p. Snyder, of
Chester county, was nominated for
auditor general; William l.. Mat
thues, of Delaware county. for state
treasurer, and Judges Thomas A.
Morrison, of Mexican county, and
John j. Henderson, of Crawford
county, for superior court Judges.
Judges Morrison and Henderson are
at present members of the superior
court by appointment of the COVER
nor and their nomination is for the
full term of ten years.
The plank in the platform endors-
ing President Roosevelt for n Sec
ond term is as follows:
I'VE commend and approve the adj
ministrati ton of President Roosevelt,
who with great ability, fidelity and
vigor. has enforced the policies of
his lamented predecessor, William
Mckinley. and of the republican
party. We favor his nomination and
election to the presidency in 1904 and
pledge thereunto the united support
of the republicans of Pennsylvania" "
The last congress is praised for
the passage of "many acts of the
greatest benefit and advantage to the
people, and of the question of tariff
revision the platform says:
1--WE affirm our answering loyalty
to the republican policy of protec-
tive tariff and deprecate any sugges-
tion of a general revision at the
present time of the existing tariff law
enacted in 1897. We believe it to be
the dictum of wisdom to let well
enough alone and not to imperil bust
ness interests by any suggestions of
present interference with revenue
legislation. Permanence and Stabil-
itv of tariff rates are essential to
continued business prosperity"

WILL BE NO CHANGE.
Protective Tariff Policy Will Not Suf-
fer ut the Hands of Iowa
Republicans.

The Iowa idee," like every other
divergence in the republican party
from the protection policy, has gone
into retirement. The tariff plank
which will be a part of the Iowarepub-
lican platform has been supervised by
the able and experienced mind of
United States Senator Allison. and
when submitted by the latter TO the
inspection of United States Senator
Aldrich, the leading tariff expert in the
senate, has received the approval Of the
latter senator. This ought to be suiIi-
cient to show that the protective policy
is not to be raped by the Iowa repub-
licans.
1t is perfectly in order to leave all
attacks upon the tariff policy to the
democratic party, which has a con-
sfstent record for attacking every
thing which has conduced to the pros
perity of this country. The democrat
ic party will need some issue of mega
ton, and the republicans would just
as soon whip their competitors on the
question of the tariff as has been done
so often before, as in any other CON
troverSy.
Republicanism without the idea Of
protection of home Industries would
certainly not be the republicanism of
Mckinley or Harrison or any of the
great leaders who have marshaled the
republican hosts to electoral victory.
