FAvoRs TARIFF
FOR REVENUE.

! In the making of tariff bill, the
prime motive Is taxation, and the Sc
curing thereby of a revenue. Due
largely to the business depression
which followed the financial panic Of
1897, the revnue from customs and
other sources has decreased to such
an extent that the expenditures for
the current fiscal year will exceed the
receipts by s100,OO0,0oo. 1t is imper-
alive that such a deficit shall not con-
tinue, and the trainers Of the tariff
bill must Of course have in mind the
total revenues likely to be produced
by 1t, and So arrange the duties as
to secure an adequate income. Should
1t be impossible to do so by import
duties, new kinds of taxation must
be adopted, and among these recon-
mend graduated inheritance tax, as
correct In principle and as certain and
easy of collection.
The obligation on the part of those
reSpOuSlDle LOT <Lne expenditures Hdue
to carry on the government, to be
as economical as possible, and to make
the burden of taxation as light as
possible, is plain and should be af.
firmed in every declaration Of gov
eminent policy. This is especially
true when we are face to face with
heavy deficit. But when the desire
to win the popular approval leads to
the cutting fofof expenditures really
needed to make the government eff
fective, and to enable it to accom-
plish it proper object, the result Is
as much to be condemned as the waste
of government funds in unnecessary
expenditure. The scope Of a modern
government in what 1t can and ought
to accomplish for its people has been
widened far beyond the principles laid
down by the old laissez faire school
of political writer's, and this widening
has met popular approval.

CURRENCY
REFORMS.

One of the reforms to be carried out
during the incoming administration is
a change of our monetary, and bank
ing laws, SO as to secure greater elias

able for trade, and to prevent the
limitations Of law from operating to
increase the embarrassments of a
financial panic. The monetary COM
mission lately appointed is given full
consideration to existing conditions
and to all proposed remedies, and will
doubtless suggest one that will meet
the requirements of business and of
public interest. We may hope that
the report will embody neither the
narrow view of those who believe
that the sole purpose of the new sys-
tenn should be to secure a large re-
turn on banking capital or of those
who would have greater expansion of
currency with little regard to provis-

REVISION OF
THE TARIFF.

| A matter of most pressing impor-
lance is the revision of the tariff. In
accordance with the promises Of the
shall call congress Into extra session,
platform upon which l was elected,
to meet on the 18th day of March,
in order that consideration may be
at once given to a bill revising the
Dingley act. This should secure an
adequate revenue and adjust the du-
ties in such a manner as to afford to
labor and to all industries In this coun-
| try, whether of the farm, mine or
factory, protection by tariff equal to
the difference between the cost of
production abroad and the cost of
production here, and have a provision
which shall put into force, upon exec
utive determination of certain facts,
a higher or maximum tariff against
those countries whose trade policy to-
ward us equitably requires such dis
elimination. 1t is thought that there
has been such a change in conditions
since the enactment of the Dingley
act, drafted on a similarly protective
principle, that the measure of the
tariff above stated will permit the
reduction of rates in certain sched-
ules and will require the advance

made in such an authoritative way
as to lead the business community
to count upon it, mccarthy halts all
those branches of business directly af-
fected, and as these are most impor-
tant, It disturbs the whole business of
the country. 1t Is imperatively neces-
sary, therefore, that tariff bill be
drawn in good faith in accordance
with promises made before the cleo
tion by the party in power, and as
promptly passed as due consideration
will permit. 1t Is not that the tariff
is more important in the long run
than the perfecting Of the reform in
respect to antitrust legislation and
interstate commerce regulation, but
the need for action when the revision
OF the tariff has been determined up
on, is more immediate to avoid en-
'barrassment OF business. To secure
the needed speed in the passage of
the tariff bill. 1t would seem wise to
attempt no other Legislation at the

To render the reforms lasting, how

freedom from alarm on the part of
those pursuing proper and progressive
business methods, further legislative
and executive action are needed. Re-
lief Of the railroads from certain re-

hand, the administration is pledged
to legislation looking to a proper fed

Then, too, reorganization of the
department of justice, of the bureau
