PLUS WAS MORE Than
$32,O00,OOO. JULY |.
Better Of at End of Fiscal Year Than
Had Been Expected-But Less Than
Last Year-Failure Of Congress to
Pass Appropriation Bills Helped to
Swell the Fund.

The federal government closed the
fiscal year June 80 with a surplus of
$32,O00,000,. according to estimates
based on incomplete returns from the
various sources of revenue the country
over. This amount far exceeded the
expectations of Secretary MacVeagh,
who months ago estimated that the
surplus would be $1O,25O,OOO.
The surplus at the close Of the fiscal
year 1911 was $45,6s2, 900.
The failure Of congress to pass gen
eral deficiency and other appropria-
ton bills which would have called for
large disbursements during the clos
ing days of the fiscal year helped the
government to pile up the surplus.
Another big element in the figures
was the corporation tax, which, it
is calculated, brought in $27,0OO,OOO
against $33,OOO,oOO last year.
Customs receipts totaled $31O,OO0,OOO
this fiscal year against $314,OOO,OOO
last year, while internal revenue
taxes. amounted to $292, 100000, as
against $2s9, 100000.

WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW
ABOUT THE TARIFF?

There are those of an unsuitable be-
that falls little short of prohibition Of
imports, this country would sink to a
level of social and industrial degrade
ton without parallel in the modern
world, and there are those who regard
protection in any form or degree as a
devilish device for enabling the few to
rob the many. These and all the in
termediate shades of notion, opinion,
and belief are prevalent, but what, after
all, do most of us, or perhaps any of
us, know of the facts of the matterf
The farmer is confident that without
a prohibitive duty on corn, on lard and
bacon, on cattle, vegetables, and dairy
products, our millions of fertile acres
would revert to their original condi-
ton of prairie and woodland, and that
millions of agriculturists would wander
in doleful poverty seeking employment.
The flock masters believe that free wool
would shortly make sheep in this coun.
try as much Of rarity as are bison.
On the other hand, millions believe that
substantial downward revision" Of
the tariff would greatly reduce the cost
of living, the prices of food and cloth.

The Volume of Corporation Business.

Big business is becoming the dis
tinctive feature of American industrial
life. The census shows that just over
one-fourth of the manufacturing estab-
lshments of the United States are un-
der corporate control, but they do 70
per cent of the business. Only little
more than 1 per cent of the establish
ments produce more than million dol
lars worth of goods in a year, but
these establishments do nearly A per
cent of the business. These 3O61 organ
izations (there were only 1900 of them
five years ago) are divided among all
branches of industry. Not all of them
are trusts. The highest estimate of
such combinations is about 500, and
this is much padded, but the figures
shown do indicate that the large estab-
lishment is growing more important

That the high tide in the terrible
death rate in American coal mines has
reached and passed is the confident be-
lief of the officials of the United States
bureau of mines.
Figures just issued by the bureau
show that 2,517 men were killed in the
mines last year as against 1884 for
1910. This shows a reduction in the
number of lives lost of BIT in one
years time. The death rate in 1910
was 3.91 men in every 1000 employed.
The rate in 1911 was 3.74.
Compared with 1907, the darkest year
in the history of American mining.
when 3,197 men lost their lives, 1911
shows decrease of $50 in the number
of men killed. 1t was following the

NO REPUBLICAN NOMINEE IN 1915.

John Madden. general attorney for
the Missouri, Kansas g. Texas, ex-
presses the belief that the Republican
party will not present presidential
nominee in the 1915 campaign.
According to Madden's version Of
the political shake up, the Democrats
and the Progressives will swallow up
the Republicans in Kansas and in the
Nation and that future political battles
will be waged by the old Democratic
organization and by the new party.
"This election wasn't much of sur
prise after ALL" said Madden, while

~ think Wilson is progressive.
In fact, he's progressive beyond his
own party. More likely the party
will pull him down. The Democratic
party isn't progressive party and
with its present traditions never can
be progressive. There will be but
two national tickets presented by the
predominant parties in 1916. The Re-
publican party will not be one of them.
In my opinion the progressive ele-
ments in the Republican party will
flock to the Progressive party in the
next four years, while the conservative
element will be taken over by the De.
morcrats. That, in my opinion, will
be the lineup in 1916
