In this instance Congress would undoubt-
edly place a big appropriation at the

In 1898. following the authorization Of

revenue laws. Should there come a de-
mand for emergency appropriations at
this time the Democratic Congress- would
undoubtedly revive the stamp act Of 1898
and probably increase the rates Of the

doubled would add 500, oOo. 900 to the

duce as much more. and that this would
