the Bulgarians have had to call for as.

far they have been unsuccessful.
The British and French troops,
which are receiving reinforcements
are meeting with some success, and
besides repulsing the Bulgarian at

movements with good results. The
Austro-Germans and Bulgarians, how.

DEFICIT DUE TO
TARIFF REDUCTIONS.

SuIv IL que 10 reduce tariff rates
rather than diminish importat-
ions, is clearly shown by sta atistics
whicn disprove the following
statement recently made by Secre-
tary OF the Treasury McAdoo:
Because OF the decrease of i'm.
ports on account of the war. we
have had All enormous deficit.
This deficit would have been vast.
ly larger, however, if the old tar
1T bill had been depended upon.
At least $l3O,OOO.OOO would
have been added to the deficit
mad the country depended on the
old bill"
That Mr.. McAdoo, lgnorantlv
or Intentionally, misstated the
facts will be apparent when the
record of his own Department.
are considered.
For the nine months of the pre-.
sent year ended September, 1915
there were imported into the
United States goods to the value
of 81 800. 900, 900, in spite of the
war. On these imports the Gov
ernment realized reverue in the
sum Of $148.224. .997, or All aver.
age OF duty on all goods imported
tor this period of but 11.8 per
cent-about as close to free trade
as could be desired by the most
ardent tree trader. For the cor.
responding nine months of the
calendar year 1913, January
September, under Republican tar
if law, we imported goods to the
value Of 81 1927. 600 900. On
these imports the Federal Treas
ury realized revenue in the sum OF
$242, 624 $50, or an average rate
ofduty Of Is. 3 per cent. the duties
SO distributed as TO afford a fair
measure of protection to all Am
erican industries and labor. Had
this average rate Of duty been
collected on the imports for the
hrst nine months Of the present
year, the Government would have
realized revenue in the sum of
O,266.OOO, or 100000
more than was actually realized.
For tins period the low duty
rate Of the Democratic law repre-
sents a monthly loss of $40, ,OOO,-
900 ofrevenue to the Government
Bear this in mind, the anemic
condition Of the Treasury is not
due to decreased imports but to
the tact that SO many are coming
III without paying a cent of rev.
enue to the Government.
On September 80, 1918, after
nearly seven months of Democra-
tic rule, the net balance in the
general fund Of the Treasury was
$123.OOO,OOO. On March 1918
when President Wilson was inau-
gurated, this balance amounted
to $149 900 600. The Democrats
were presented with handsome
Treasury surplus on March 4th
with which to set up housekeep-
ing. The Underwood tariff law
went on the statute books Octo-
ber 4th, 1913, business went to
smash, and the revenues began to
dwindle. However, due TO the
tact that Republican rates on
wool and sugar prevailed for
portion of that fiscal year, the
Treasury WAS able to limp thro-
ugh with but a small deficit on
une 80, 1914. With wool on the
tree list, the duty on sugar reduc-
ed, and millions OF dollars worth
OF imports coming i'll free. things
went from bad to worse, and the
outbreak of the European war
was instantly seized upon as a
pretext for saddling the country
with the war revenue measure.
Every device known to a tricky
book-keeper was employed by
