THE REpuBLICAN WAY.

Inc administration 5 program 10 re-
duce the exempted limit of taxed in
comes and to lay on other new direct
taxes is meeting with no warmth OF
approval from the Democratic press,
tho the partisan editors are trying
hard to find justification for the
plan. One of them affects to take
the scheme with resignation and seeks
20 comfort himself with the reflection
that If the Republican party were in
power at this time, it would be COM
PEELED TO resort to such measures as
the Democrats will be compelled to
resort to in order to keep the pub
nc treasury supplied
Right there, however, that editor
shows himself to be in the wrong.
Tabulations have been made which
show that, even with the present vol
dme of imports, the Democratic tariff
las has such low general average OF
duties that il falls more than $4,000
900 a month behind the Republican
tariff law in its returns to the treas
ury. In other words, given only the
present volume of imports and apply
ing the higher duties which Repub-
leans believe in and which they APP
piled, the treasury would be $4,000
900 better off every month if the Re
publicans were in power. The Euro
pean war, to which the Democrats
blame all their troubles and where
in-paradoXical as il may seem-has
nevertheless been their greatest asset
has now been going on for l6 months
At the rate of S9,O00,000 a month
this would have yielded S144,000,00
to the treasury, and since Mr.. McAdoo

Tierney may have as custodian OF

effort for the governors impeachment
because he employed troops to put
down rebellion. As a senator he
bolted his party's caucus and repeat

Adams, the ablest member of that
