When con gress authorizes more taxes to be collected than are needed to produce enough money to cover ex.endlturev and there is a large surplus In the I'nited States treasury, it very nat urally leads to larger appropriations.

allow the tarlfT taxes to be reduced one-half and still produce a surplus
for the coming fiscal year and if the
tat Iff .rates were so revised fhat diamonds and other articles that are luxuries paid as much per cent, tax as some articles of necessity are now made to pay. there would be about as much money collected as there 1-; at present, and the price of artirles of necessity would be cheaper, but the price of diamonds, etc.. would be higher. The trusts and combines that are now charging exorbitant prices for their products would be compelled to lower their prices, or similar products manufactured in England. Germany or
elsewhere would be imisirted at the reduced tariff rates and compete with the trusts' products. I'nder such a a nt rrWine the tariff rates on I
necessities one-half and increasing the tariff tax on luxuries the trusts would either have to reduce tbelr profits ur lose part of their trade. The knowledge that reasonable tar iff revision would reduce trust profits s tho reason the trust magnates ate all Republicans and are willing to pay a percentage of their large profits to Republican campaign funds to help keep that party in power. That is the reason a Republican congress stands . 1.1 .. , , . l.ilU

Hut the HMlltil is never fulfilled and now the declaration Is made that after the next national election. If intrusted with another lease of jKiwer. they will again promise in their national platform to reform the tariff after election. Will their new promise be any more faithfullv kept than former promises and will the protected trusts and cor , rat ions be anv more willing to see
their profits cut down after II now?
Bob had been Jealous of tho t rp nude millions, and had married her in a fit of pique. She turned from thw window with sudden determination. It lacked half an hour of dinner time A !ntdy dinner for a bride, she thought, as she went upstairs, her first New Year's eve. Perhaps by the time the midnight bells rang out she might bo making t w strange resolutions for the routag year. It was dark on the garret stairs. She stopped at the door of Hob's dressing room and took a candlestick from the mantel. It was a wedding i?ift a
Japanese bronze grifflrt. with ou'; f-ad wlr.gs and spiral, sinuous tail. As she held it to the gas Jet to light the candle something fell on the rug at her feet and she picked It up It was a small, old fashioned ordinary brass key. She looked at It hesitatingly It had never been on Hobs ring, she km w. The space between the wines of the bronze griffin wa.iaclever idea of concealment. She set her Hps closely and went up the garret stairs with candlestick la one hand and the key In the other. Half way there was a turn at a small landing, and It was at the angle made by this that she had found the little low door leading to the "catch all."
She opened It now and entered, nail closing the door after her. The desk was pushed to one side with some trunks and boxes It was a quaint, antique affair of mahogany, severely colonial In style. The main body was crescent-shaped, supported on hand carved legs There were four drawers, two on each side, and small, luw cabinet of pigeon-holes on top. Suzanne stood motionless before It for several minutes, trying to make up her mind to Insert the key. When sha

Hess was a child, with the Impulsive Judgment of a child. She had been wrong to even tell her of the desk, wrong to discuss Bob or his motives with her at all, or to listen for an Instant to any doubt of him, even In jest. She must have faith, and wait. He had probably locked the desk against the curiosity of the servants and had forgotten it in the hurry and ex. itement of the wedding She must believe In him The mere fact that they were married did not give her a 00 roner's right to hold a iost mortem over his dead past. There was the sound of a footstep
on the stairs, and she relocked tho drawer quickly. I ll be down in a moment. Nora," she called. "You may serve dtnner." The voice that answered was familiar ami masculine. She nearly let the candle fall In her surprisd recognition of it. "It's only I. Sue What on earth are you doing in there?" She stood mute and motionless as he bent his head and entered the low door. It was Hob. and he was smiling and happv. his clear eyes staking for the glad welcome lie expected "! only ran down for tonight." he added. "I couldn t let you face the
