How Money Was sauandered.

Our opponents contend that the gov
eminent is now administered eXtrava-
ganIly, and that whereas there was "a
surplus of $50, 100000 in 1900" there is
"a deficit of more than $40, 000, 900" in
the year that has just closed.
This deficit is imaginary, and is OBJ
tanned by including in the ordinary cur
rent expenses the sum of 500, 000. 600,
which was paid for the right of way
of the Panama canal out of the accu-
mulated surplus I'm the treasury. Com
pairing the current or ordinary ,expend-
itures for the two years, there was a
surplus of nearly $S0.0000 600 for the year
1900 and of only a little more than
IS. 600 coo for the year that has just
closed. But this diminutipn Of the an
nual surplus was brought about design
eddy by the abolition of the war taxes
in the interval between the two dates
The acts of March 2, 1901, and April J.,
1902 cut down the internal revenue
taxes to an amount estimated at Sle9,-
600 600 a wear In other words, the re-
duction of taxation has been consider
ably greater than the reduction IN the
annual surplus. Since the close OF the
war with Spain there has been no sub
stantiaI change in the rate or annual
expenditures. AS compared with Ihs
fiscal year ending in June. 1901, FOR eA-
ample, the fiscal year that mas 1us'
closed showed relatively small IN
crease in expenditure excluding tne
canal payment already referred to)l
while the year previous showed reld'
lively small decrease.

1t is matter of regret that the pro-
tective tariff policy which. during the
last forty odd years, has become part
of the very fiber of the country. is not
now accepted as definitely established.
Surely we have a right to say that it
has passed beyond the domain of theory
and a right 10 expect that not only its
original advocates, but those who at
one time distrusted il on theoretic
grounds. should now acquiesce in the
results that have been proved overland
over again by actual experience These
forty odd years have been the most
prosperous years this nation has ever
seen; more prosperous years than any
other nation has ever seen. Beyond
question this prosperity could not have
come If the American people had not
possessed the necessary thrift, energy,
and business intelligence to turn their
vast material resources to account. But
II is no less true that il Is our economic
policy as regards the tariff and finance
which has enabled us as nation TO
make such good use OF the individual
capacities OF our citizens, and the nat.
ural. resources of our country. Every
class OF our people is benefited by the
protective tariff. During the last few
years the merchant has seen the ex-
port trade OF this country grow faster
than ever in our previous history. The
manufacturer could not keep his fac
tory running If IL were not for the pro-
teetive tariff. The wage-worker would

Claims Credit For Crops.

The farmer has benefited quite as
much as the manufacturer, the mer-
chant and the wage worker. The most
welcome and impressive fact eStab-
lished by the last census is the wide
and even distribution of wealth among
all classes Of our countrymen. The
chief agencies in producing this distri-
button are shown by the census to be
the development of manufactures. and
and application Of new inventions TO
universal use. The result has been an
increasing interdependence of agricul-
ture and manufactures. Agriculture is
now, as it always has been, the basis
Of civilization. The 5000 900 farms of
the United States, operated by men
who, as a class. are steadfdst single
minded and industrious. form the basis
Of all the other achievements of the
American people and are more fruit
full than all their other resources. The
men on those 5000, 900 farms receive
from the protective tariff what they
most need, and that is the best of all
possible markets. All other classes de-
pend upon the farmer, but the farmer
in turn depends upon the market they
furnish him for his produce, The an
nual output Of our agricultural prod
ucts is nearly 81 000, 600, 900. Their in
crease in value has been prodigious, al
though agriculture has languiShed IN
most other countries; and the main
factor in this increase is the CORE
spending increase of our manufactur-
ing industries, American farmers have
prospered because the growth of their
market has kept pace with the growth
Of their farms. The additional market
continually furnished for agricultural
products Ivy domestic manufacturers
has been far in excess Of the outlet 20
other lands. An export trade in farm
products is necessary to dispose of our
surplus and the export trade of our
farmers. both in animal products and
in plants products, has very largely
increased. Without the enlarged home
market to keep this surplus down, we
should have to reduce production or
else feed the world at less than the cost
Of production. In the forty years end
ing in 1900 the total of farm property
increased twelve and a half billions OF
dollars; the farmer gaining even more
during this period than the manufac-
turer. Long ago reproduction would
have checked the marvellous develop
ment of our national agriculture, but
for the steadily increasing demand OF
American manufacturers for farm
products required as raw materials for
steadily expanding industries. The
farmer has become dependent upon the
manufacturer to utilize that portion OF

from prospecting too much. and labor
from prospecting at all. Undoubtedly II
would be possible at the present time
to prevent any of the trusts from re-
naming prosperous by the simple ex-
pedient of making such a sweeping
change in the tariff as to paraiyze the
industries of the country. The trusts
would cease to prosper; but their small
er competitors would be ruined, and
the wageworkers would starve, while
ii would not pay the farmer TO haul his
produce to market. The evils connect
ed with the trusts can be reached only
by rational effort, step by step. along
the lines taken by congress and the
executive during the past three years
II a tariff law is passed under which
the country prospers, as the country
has prospered under the present tariff
law, then all classes will share in the
prosperity. If a tariff law is passed
aimed at preventing the prosperity OF
some of our people, IL is as certain as
anything can be that this aim will be
achieved only by cutting down the
prosperity of all of our people.
