FINE TREASURY EXHIBITS.

The Payne-Aldrich tariff law has
much more than justified the sanguine
expectations of its supporters. The Ma
porters, believing that the tariff bill
was framed with the greatest wisdom
and the most thoro study of all the con-
ditions. The rapid repletion of the
Treasury's vaults without any CORE
spending hardship to the people is a
remarkable demonstration of this. In
stead of a deficit of s34,075,000 which
the singers of the songs of disaster pre-
dicted, the fiscal year closed with a
surplus of s9,402,432. One year ago
the books showed deficit of S5S,734,-
954. That this should be totally over
come and a comfortable surplus in the
vaults shows legislation of the highest
order. In this calculation, however, is
not included the advances for the con-
struction of the Panama Canal, which
amount to $118,795,919. This, however,
will be met by the sale of the canal
bonds, and already $116,7S6,747 of
these have been sold, and the money is
entirely proper, since the Panama Canal
was built for posterity, and posterity
should bear the bigger part of the bur-
den.
The net increase of receipts for 1910
was $65.4T5,291. The increase in most
branches was greater than this, but the
receipts from miscellaneous sources
showed falling off of about $500, 900.
The increase came mainly from larger
receipts from customs duties, Internal
revenue taxes and the new corporation
tax. The new tariff law produced s32,-
073,390 more than was derived from
customs duties the year before. The
internal-revenue taxes showed an in
crease of s31,610,S72, and the corpora
tions paid s17,363,815.
This repletion was made and accen-.
tuated by a most rigid economy in all
the Departments. Where the estimates
for the year involved an expenditure of
amounted to only $659.652,34s, show
ing that economy had saved 23,000,-
900. The War Department and the
Post Office Department led in these
economies, with a reduction in their
expenditures of about $S,000,000 each.
The Indians received about $1,000, 900
more than the previous year, while the
Navy Department spent $4,000, 900
more than 1t had in the preceding
year. AS to the increase in customs
duties the Treasury report says:
"The transactions for the first quar-
ter of the fiscal year appeared to verify
the accuracy of the estimated de-
ficiency, altho there had been a notice
able increase in receipts on account Of
customs most of which was probably
attributable to heavier imports of goods
upon which the duties were to be in
creased under the operation of the new
tariff, for the long discussion which pre-
ceded the enactment of the recent law
afforded ample opportunity to antici-
pate where increased duties were to be
laid. Despite the fact of increased i'm
ports in the last months of the preced-
ing fiscal year, in anticipation of the
passage of the new tariff, and despite
the general decline in business activi-
ties during recent months, the customs
dues during the fiscal year just closed
produced revenues amounting to S32,-
073,399 more than those of the preced-
ing fiscal year"
The increase in the customs receipts
almost wiped out the deficit by itself.

Criticism has been expressed by those
who are opposed or lukewarm to my
candidacy for Chief to
ums in advocating the same. The fact
is, as every one who reads the paper
knows, that all that has appeared in
the paper has been voluntary and un-
solicited correspondence. Comrades
who have written and Posts and De-
desired to see thei, action noticed in
The National Tribune, as they do every
thing else which they write to the
paper. They have felt disappointed
and hurt when such publication has
not been made, and there is a great
which we have not yet been able to
find room. From the very first all my
opponents have been offered as free use
of The National Tribune columns for
their candidates as has been taken for
my own. They have been urged to
send in freely all that they wanted to
say in behalf of their candidate; and
Whatever tney nave CHOSEN 10 SEND IN
has been promptly published, as will be
anything in the future. Not only has
there been repeated urgings upon the
friends of other candidates to use the
columns of the paper for the promotion
of their friends interests. but every
man who has anything to say against
John McElroy has also been urged to
say his say outright in the columns of
the paper. For more than so years
have lived in the open, and there are
comrades alive and able who can testify
of their own knowledge to every day
of my life, from the time that 1 entered
the Army, thruout the long imprison-
ment at Andersonville and elsewhere
and during the SO years that have
been editor of the Toledo Blade and
The National Tribune. No one need be
in ignorance of any facts of my life, for.
there are witnesses everywhere quite
willing to tell the truth.
l again urge all friends of any other
candidate to use the columns of the
paper freely for anything they want to
say in behalf of their friends
Yours in F., c. & L..

THE JOHNsON-JEFFRIES> FIGHT.

Carlyle once tersely described England
as having 30.oOO,0OO people, mostly
fools" The same remark would apply
to the United States, If we should judge
by the excitement created by the John
son-Jeffries prize fight. There never was
a fair prize fight. and it is wholly i'm
probable that there ever shall be. This
is especially true when we think of
what large amounts of money change
hands and how these fights are invaria-
bly, under the control of the men who
live on what they skin out of their
dupes. There never was a possibility
for Jeffries to win the fight, and no one
knew this better than Jeffries himself
His whole conduct in the training camp
betrayed this. He knew he was going
the inevitable way of all champions.
After his last victory he followed the
inyariable course of champions, 4 round
of ceaseles debauchery, which he kept
up until his money was all gone. Then,
when rum and riot had done their
work, he lent himself. as they have all
done in the past, to the schemes of the
gambling sports, who arranged another
match, in which he was to be knocked
out and lose the championship The
tricky fellows advertised the thing to
the limit, and filled the papers with de-
lusive stories as to the form" in which
Jeffries had regained his power, and
the silly, wouId-be sports" filled the
pockets of the tricksters by bets at long
odds against the negro. Race prejudice
was invoked, and the game worked to
the limit.
So far as the actual gamblers ard
sports are concerned we have no con-
Germ or sympathy. 1t is dog eat dog"
and we have not the slightest interest
as to which shall eat the other The
really unfortunate part is that whole
lot of silly fellows who imagine them
selves sports" are tempted into betting
money that they cannot afford to lose,
and they and their families suffer on
account of it.
The race feature really cuts no figure.
The plain truth is that debauched old
white man. who had worn himself out
with the coarsest dissipation, was put

one or more meetings during the year,
so that all comrades may get together
and promote good fellowship Your De-
partment Commander will attend each
