Revenue and Standpatting.

l Secretary Shaw is said to make light
Of the deficiency in the treasury, but
there are a number Of statesmen in the
country who do not share his high
spirits. They are the standpatters
who find in the decreasing revenue and
the failure of the receipts an opening
for an unfortunate attack upon the
tariff. If the country goes 'on spend
ing more than it receives it must re-
trench, borrow or increase revenue. !.
{ Which of these shall it do, and how
shall it go about it? Retrenchment for
the present year is out Of the question:,
as the appropriations are made and the
heads of departments will spend all that
is coming to them and perhaps more.
The deficiency is not so serious as to
even suggest the need of borrowing by
means of bonds. If then the deficit
shall continue, it comes to a question OF
overcoming it by means Of more reve-
nue., How that revenue shall be raised
may bring on a big political fight.
There are those in the republican party
who would rather direct taxes should be
levied than that the sacred tariff should
be touched. These will insist that such
expedients as increase of internal reve
nue. taxes, the reimposition of stamp
taxes or any other mode Of getting the
money shall be used rather than that
the tariff schedules should be annoyed
Yet it is very simple to raise more reve
nue. by reducing some Of the prohibi
tive rates to the point where a few OF
the taxed goods will come in. This il
what the tariff adiusters want to do
and they want to pick out goods which
in this country are made by trust
They want to "bust the trust,' rais'
the revenue and reduce the cost Of tn
article, all at once. The standpatter
will be kept pretty busy, if the question
gets into congress, giving reasons VIII,
this is not good policy.

ROOSEVELT AS AIBook BOOMER
President Roosevelt promises to become
as persistent a boomer of books he
likes as was Gladstone, says The Reader
Magazine for May, Gladstone's first
notable comment on a book, which re-
suited in greatly assisting the sale OF the
volume, was made upon Robert Els
mere" After that he made open praise
of many books, nearly all of which We're
deserving, and it became an axiom that
commentator by the great liberal states
man meant an addition Of from twenty
five thousand to fifty thousand copies
to the aggregate sale of book
There were many willy attempts
made by publishers to secure a
word from him Oh this or that
work. but his, ideas were hisssoWn, and he
was not subject to coercion. AS rule,
his approval had good basis.
Mr.. Roosevelt. like Gladstone. is him
self maker Of books, and he has fell
low feeling for authors. He enjoys sig
mailing out some good book and giving 1t
public praise. Only MI. Mcclure knows
how much he helped Pastor Wagner's lit
tie book, THE Simple Life" Previous
to that he had given his unqualified in
dorsement to books by Jacob Riis and
Booker T. Washington. He told his
countrymen how he had enjoyed Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch. He set peo-
pie to looking up the works of Frederick
Mstral when he subscribed to a French
fund. and h attracted renewed attentio1
to Judge Robert Grants "Unleavened
Bread by severely criticizing the heroine.
Other instances of his interest in con-
| temporary literature will hoccur to the
reader who keeps tab on things as they
| are published. And 1t is not likely that
this amiable ambition on the part of Mr..
Roosevelt to act as public encourager
of the Gle serving will decrease with aye
and successive presidential administra-
tons Mr. Roosevelt is patriarchial in
his feelings, and he enjoys giving his chill
dren an encouraging word. He is the
