EQUM.IZAT40N OF TAXES. BttropwMw Glance at the Work rf thf Fifty-third Coagreat. If the Fifty-third congress had accomplished no other roform than the equali nation of taxes, it would nevertheless have earned public gratitude for its work in that direction. For example, under the McKinley law and the specific system of levying duties which it represented the duties on a yard of silk worth 50 cents were precisely the same as on a yard of silk worth $2. The 50 cent silk is the fabric used by the wives and daughters of the mechanics and ethers; of average resources. The $2 sills are; purchased bv the wealthy. The McKin - ley law tax was 50 cents a pound, and tha rich consumers were required to pay * only about one-fourth of the percentage on values that was charged to the less favored consumers. The new law taxes according to value,' and this creates equality in the burdens of government. The Times has shown that the new tariff law saves the people more than $1,000,000,000 a year in taxes, which of itself is a great advantage. But when it is considered that in addition to this total saving it also makes a more just and equitable distribution of the burdens which remain an additional virtue is disclosed. The saving of the vast sum creates a fund for investment in industrial and commercial pursuits, the profits of which add to the common capital of the country. The equalization of the taxes releases those least able to pay from unjust burdens and puts a fair ^ share of the cost of government upon those who derivo the greatest benefitIn other words, economy and justice are alike subserved by tbe new law. But palpable as these advantages are they do not comprise the only claimsito favor which the Fifty-third congress dan present. The saving iii the excuses of the governmental departments are of suf’ficient importance tocommand attention. It simplified iind improved the system of bookkeeping in all the departments, with the result that better and quicker service is rendered, with a great ly reduced force and pay rolL In the treasury department alone more than 100 employees are entoff aud a saving of .$50 0, - 00Q in salaries secured. In other departments the same advantages are gained, and altogether an inestimable benefit is secured to the people by the reforms of the Fifty-third congress.—-Kansas City Times. POTATOES AND THE TARIFF.

Import Ditties Cut a Small Figure Except la Times of Scarcity. It appears from statistics gathered by tho agricultural department that during the ten years ended Jnue 110, 1§94, there were imported into tho United States 29,495,41? bushels of potatoes, valued at $1S, 155,481, says . the Philadelphia Record. The imports of potatoes during the same period exceeded in value' the exports by the sum of $9,296,345. At lirst view it seems remarkable that a country in which there is such a prolific* yield ot potatoes should not fully pupply itself without importations. But into the question of supply the cost of transportation enters as a controlling factor. It is sometimes cheaper to bring * potatoes from the Canadian provinces, % Bermuda, or even Scotland, by means of water transportation and to pay the tariff levied upon them than to supply our eastern markets from domestic sources at heavier cost of land transportation. It must also be remembered that the potato crop is a very uncertain crop Sometimes the potato bug and sometimes “the rot” plays havoc with the yiefd. The tariff is of small consequence, except to make dearer the seed of the farmers in years of scarcity and the purchases pf consumers who are so situated as to be morfi cheaply supplied from foreign sources. His Name Ends Right. Vice President Stevenson is looming '• up in the western horizon as a star candidate for the presidency. Only three vice presidents aver climbed into the White House—Adams, Jefferson and Van Buren. Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur, although equipped with the prestige of accidental terms of tho presidency, sought after full nominations and failed. On the southern horizon Senator Morgan is looming. Steyenson Jias a lucky termination to his name. ThnsWashingt-on, Jeffers-on, Madis-on, Jacks-on and Harris-on. So go “on,” Mr. Stevenson, and win if yon can. The j Mercury could vote for you without; flinching, without a regret or a mental reservation.—New York Mercury. * Ready For Any Emergency i Mr. Harrison is holding his tongue with a great deal of persistence and pru-; deuce, says the Philadelphia Times. He has broken silence only so far as to sav that; he is not yet ready to say anything. This is golden silence under the circumstances, though it is not necessary to assume that Mr. Harrison’s speech would he silver. But if, as seems likely, the next Republican platform is to be a Stra ddle, and if the bimetallists believe !Mr. Harrison is with them, while gold Republicans believe he is with them, what better candidate could there be? The End of Jingoism. ' ‘It cannot be too often recalled, ” says the Baltimore Sun, “or too strongly impressed upon the minds of the Americans of today, that the jingo policy and the policy of international force and agEgression are utterly un-American and unrepublican. Trouble Ahead For the O. D. P. Republicans are welcome to all the , fun they can get out of the Democratic shindy over silver. There’s a pot boiling for them, and it will be bnbbling long after our little affair has been amicably arranged.—St. Louis Republic. Not an Unusual Occurrence. Says the Buffalo Evening News j[lnd.), “The greatest piece of folly that was ever committed by a party has been sommitted by the Republicans* :fn Albany firing the past three months. ”

Um^LIL'.iaUigBBMBJ.!JL TRADE BENEFITED, EFFECTS OF THE NEW TARIFF ON THE COUNTRY’S BUSINESS. Dwid*d Improvement on Utp McKinley L»w--R«Tfmi«i Raised Predict n Surplus In 118!*0—Increase la Exports and Imports—A n Oltfrct Lesson. The report of the bureau of statistics giving the exports and imports of the United States for the month of March makes it possible—by collating these returns with previous statistics—to determine approximately the practical working and effects of the new tariff law, which did not go fully into operation until Jan. 1, 1895. It is rather reinsuring than otherwise to note that the revenue raised by the new tariff during the quarter ending March 81, 1895, was $45,615,B96. At this rate the total revenue of the current calendar year derived from customs will be 1183.461,584 and would indicate the possibility of a surplus before 1896. It also appears from data obtained from the bureau of statistics that the value of manufactured goods exported 'from the United States during the quarter ending March 81, 1895, was very encouraging, tho amount reaching $41,898,004. During the corresponding quarter of 1893, when tho McKinley tariff was in full blast, the total value of American manufactures exported was only $86,991,298. In the same quarter in 1893 tho figures were $36,690,838. When the overproduction of manufactured goads—which had been intensely and disastrously stimulated by the excessively high duties of the McKinley law—-attained its climax, the exports in the first quarter of 1894 rose to $42,210,346. But this was an exceptional and spasmodic volume of such exports. The exports of March were $64,875,007, and the imports of the same month were $69,294,807, while the customs duties collected amounted to $14,928,789. These qre gratifying results. The country may felicitate itself on tho fact that its imports were $4,419,800 in excess of its exports. No doubt this excess will be used as a text for bewailing the effects of the new tariff by ignorant people who still ding to the antiquated and oft exploded “balance of trade” bugaboo. But if the increased import trade of tho couutry proves nothing else it proves that the people, having been for 84 years paying extremely high “protectionist” prices on domestic manufactures, are determined to break loose from their bondage and to encourage wholesome competition with homemade goods, a competition which can come only through freer importations and purchases of foreign fabrics.

mu, us already mnmuiea, rno imports for March, combined with those of Feb-; ruary and January last, afford a striking object lesson upon the practical effects of tke new tariff. Tlie total value of the imports of merchandise from Jan. 1 to March 31,1895, was §185,161,155, upon which the customs duties amounted to $45,615,390. The new tariff therefore has exacted an average duty of 24.6 percent of the value of all merchandise ! (dutiable and free) imported into the United states. Even iu Germany, with her large anny to support, the customs duties collected average scarcely 10 percent of the value of all imported merchandise. Ill the Netherlands the duties amount usually to only 5 per cent of the value of manufactured articles and are nil or only 2 per cent if these articles are used for the industries of the country. The empire of Austria-Hungary mulcts its people in tariff taxes a modest amount —only S per cent of the value of all their imports. Italy exacts for customs only 23.1 per cent of, the value of all her imports, while iu Sweden and Norway the total value of customs duties collected is but 10,5 per cent. Turkey is more liberal in tqjriff taxation than “free America,” the Turkish tariff admitting into the empire all imports except salt and tobacco at a rate of 8 percent ad valorem. If now we compare the average rate of duty on imports subject to duty under the new tariff since Jan. 1, 1895, with the average rate under the McKinley tariff for the two years ending June 80, 1892 (in which its operation was not affected by the panic and hard times), we find that the former is only 4.09 per cent lower than the McKinley rate. Tho government statistics show that under the new tariff the custom house officers are now collecting an average duty of 43.72 per cent on all dutiable imports. The corresponding McKinley rate wap 48.71 in 1892 and 49. 58 in 1893. Under the high tariff of 1883, which remained in force till October, 1890, the average rate of duty on dutiable goods was 45.61 per cent, so that the new tariff is not on the average 2 per cent lower than that of 1883, against which Mr. Cleveland’s famous message of 1887 was justly fulminated. It is certainly encouraging to discover beyond doubt that the recent reduction of duties, though beggarly and contemptible, has appreciably benefited trada Had not the original Wilson tariff been marred and mutilated try the senate much greater reductions of duty would have been made and very much greater benefits would have resulted. It is undeniable also that in every respect the new tariff is a decided improvement on the McKinley tariff. Thanks only to Mr. Wilson and his supporters in the house, the top of the Chinese wall with which “protectionists” had inclosed the country has been removed, and its foundations hero and there have been blovra up.—New York Herald. Reason For Democratic Success. Mr. Charles L. Snow, Democrat, having been elected mayor of Bangor, Me., j by a plurality of 4$ over his Republican I opponent and by a majority of two over the combined opposition, it will not be offensive to observe that the enemy were Snowed under. In Bangor lives the re- | doubtable Bontclle, and this malms Democratic success less remarkable.— Philadelphia Record.

mmmummmmmmmmmBBmast DON'T AGREE WITH RECORDS, XcKtetof** 9teUn«aU C«wwalaff Mm 1'iMuarjr ComJUloB la 1893. The inaccuracies which Governor McKinley indulged in in his recent Hart* fend speech continue to excite oojumen* and criticism. Among the very glaring misstatements was that which alleged th»t the Harrison administration at the close of its term of office “turned ova: to Mr. Cleveland’s administration $124,000,000 surplus. “ It is well known that cm the 20th of February, 1893, just 18 days before the expiration of President Harrison’s term, tbe then secretary of the treasury, Mr. Charles Foster, instructed the chief of tbe bureau of engraving and printing to paepare plates for the issue of bonds to supply an impending treasury deficiency. The fact was first brought to notice by tbe Kansas City Times and has since been widely published by the leading newspapers of tbe country. ! ;■ But that is not the only evidence in contradiction of Governor McKinley’s misstatement of facts. On tbe 25th of February, 1893, only a week before the expiration of Harrison’s term erf office, Secretary of the Treasury Foster appeared before a committee of oongress and stated that “while there is no fear of a bankrupt treasury the situation is one demanding serious consideration,’’ and added that he thought “there would be a surplus of $17,000,000 on July 1, 1893.” There is an ancient but not commendable code of morals which holds that “a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth,’’ but that was at a time when records were inaccessible. Governor McKinley, who is a last century statesman, seems still to adhere to that idea, but he’s hot likely to convince the public in the face of the facts.—Kansas City Times. DEFICIENCY OF REVENUE. The McKlaley Tariff Act Wholly Responsible—Repeal of the Sugar Duty. The deficiency of the last two years has often been attributed to a lack of revenue under the present tariff. There is no ground for that statement The deficiency of revenue as compared to expenditures may be absolutely and wholly attributed to the tariff act of 1890, commonly known as the McKinlenbill, and to the increase of expenditure incurred by the same congress which passed that act For many years prior to the tariff of 1890 the sugar duties had yielded a revenue to the government equal to 91 cents per head of the population. Had that almost whojjy revenue tax continued to the present date it would have yielded a revenue in the period which has elapsed since its repeal of about $300,000,000.

Trie country would also have been saved tlie payment out of a deficient revenue of an unlawful bounty to sugar planters of about $30,000,000. It is true that the panic which was brought on by the silver craze, coupled with the uncertainty which always ensues from deficient import, duties, pending a change of tariff, especially when the measure is long delayed in congress, might have reduced the consuming power of the people as to sugar as it has also distinctly reduced tho consuming power of the people in respect to liquors and tobacco, thereby again diminishing revenue. That reduction would, however, have been small, and in any event, except for the repeal of the revenue tax on sugar in 1890, the treasury would have received a revenue from it at least double the amount of the subsequent deficiency.— Edward Atkinson. Facts About Apples. The market for American apples is something the high protection advocates declared would be ruined by the new tariff bill, but Consul General De Kay, at Berlin, sends word that American shippers have found a fine demand in January that augurs well for the future. Since last September 1,443,592 barrels of apples have been sent to Europe, as against 168,70(3 barrels in the winter of 1898-4. This means a permanent market in the future, with handsome profits. The demand in I'ranee and England for American apples is growing, and Germany presents an opportunity that traders find of the mo6t attractive character under the new tariff schedule. Of course the harvest will be just what the growers make it. —Philadelphia Times. An Object Lesson In Republican Rarity. “Those innocent people who imagine that the Democratic party is all bad and the Republican party all good, ’ ’ says the Boston Herald (In<L), “have only to turn their eyes to New York to obtain an object lesson on this point amply sufficient to correct such a delusion. The Republican party cannot even be used to promote a reform there, when in the narrowest party sense it is for its interest to do so. So inherently corrupt is it in the man who controls it that he is ready to sacrifice his party itself rather than lose opportunities for himself to continue in corruption. ” He Does It Well. Governor Matthews of Indiana thinks it will be ex-President Harrison, says the Philadelphia Record. “Reed,” he says, “does not know where to jump on the financial question, and McKinley is ! closely connected with another subject, which will not cut much figure in the i next campaign. ” If it should come to jumping, Mr. Harrison might display unrivaled agility. At present be doesn’t jump; he simply straddles and does the trick beautifully. McKinley Cooked Again. Now it is the mills of Suncook, N. EL, says the Philadelphia Record, that have raised the wages of their employees. The beauty of this Suneookery is that it does up the McKinley goose in such rich brown tints.
