ALLISON'S STATEMENT. ‘Mr. Allison then proceeveu with his statement astothe bill There were some things, he said, which ought to be made clear in the very begin- ming of Lue discussion. There were a few salient points which ht to be presented. One was that the Senate bill pro- posed to reduce the revenue between sixty-live and seventy-thee millions. ‘Tis was the first oppor- tunity which the senate had had to consider the Great question of the reduetion of revenue since ‘Une revision of 1883. CRITIOIZING THE COUUSE OF THE HOUSE. ‘The frst opportunity came to the committee on finance on the 21st of July of this year, after the usual time of adjournment in a long session of Cor ‘The House had occupied eignt months in the consideration of the question; but, within @ little over sixty days, the Seaate committec on finance had produced the bili now up tor consider- lion. The House had spent on months, pot for ‘the purpose of strengthening the industries of the country, but for the purpose of—or, he ought. to say, ge with the effect of—greatly disturb- ing those Interests. That was a mild phrase, It Was an easy thing to tear down, but It was not $0 easy to build up. He regarded a reduction of from sixty to seventy millions of revenue as being AS OREAT A REDUCTION a8 COULD BE SAFELY MADE, and therefore he trusted that no amendment would be adopted looking to a greater reduction. He cal- culated, from the report of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury for the first quarter of the present fiscal year, that there would be a reduction of eight mil- lions im the receipts from imports this year as compared with last year, and a reauction of seven- teen millions as compared with the Secretary's es- tumate. Taking all the revenues of the Goverament for the first quarter of the current fiscal year they had fallen off five millions as compared with the first quarterof last year. He made this state. ment for the purpose of showing that the enorm- ous surplus in the ‘Ireasury was not likely to be Increased by anything Laat was tooccur di ‘Uye present fiscal year. By the provisions of the tariff bill ‘TUKRE WOULD BE NO SURPLUS REVENUE ‘unless the sinking fund for this year were left en- trely out of consideration, Tne Senate bili con- templated (and it might as well be understood in the beginning) that for the current fiscal year and for Uhe fiscal years that are to follow immediately there was not likely to be a surplus for the sinking fund. There certainly would not bea surplus beyond the amount necessary to re- deem the 43¢ per cent bonds falling due on ber nowt According to the report of the Secretary Of the Treasury there was, on the first of the pres- ent month a, Surplus of $06,000,000 in the Trees: Ury—no, not ip the Treasury, for $57,000,000 of It were in the national banks. He did not want to recur tothe mabagement of the Treasury as re- spects the accumulating surplus from year toyear, it FOR THE LIFE OF HIM HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND why it was that that surplus of $96,000,000 was ‘not used to retire the 43¢ percent bonds that were | virengal to be paid off by the Government. ‘bere Was Ot a time in the history of the affair when ‘the Government could Dot. have “pure chased bonds so asto have made 2 per cent in- Uerest on the money.

An Error in the Copy of the Senate Tarr Bul. THE IMPORTATION OF OFIUM FOR SMOKING IS PRO ‘HIBITED—THERE WILL BE AN AMENDMENT TO PUT 4 TARIFP ON EGGB. By an error made by the comtalttee in preparing for pubiication the aduttions to the free list con- Vained tn the substitute tariff bill reported by the Senate committee on finance it was made to ap- ear that opium for smoking had been freed of duty.

UP THE SHAFT. A Trip w the Top of the Monument Te-Day. RFFECT OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS—A FINB VIEW FROM THE SUMMIT—UGAR-LOAFY PLAINLY VISIBLE ‘THROUGH THE CLEAR ATMOSPHERE. —— / Col. Wilson 1s still waiting for the receipt of ‘his official copy of the sundry-civil bill to make the first trip to the top of the Washington Monument with an elevator car-load of visitora. Inthe mean- Ume the machinery 1s ready and the car makes oc- castonal trips up and down to get the stiffness out of the cables and jotnts, while the sight-seers peer Unrough the latticed door at the entrance of the shaft Wondering why they are not allowed to go up. AStam reporter made a trip to the top this morning with Custodian Thomas. The car was started slowly, for the boilers were under light pressure, and the trip to the 500-foot level, the last elevator landing, occupied 12 minutes, including one stop, when Mr. Thomas crawled out of the car and across a couple of beams to the platform, then shinned up one ot the columns o examine a refrac tory electric ight. ‘These LIGHTS SHINE OUT LIKE Stans, Muminating the interior of the shaft with a mellow, pleasant light zhat enables the passengers tn the car to see the side walls with great distinct- ness, and to read the inscriptions on nearly all of the memorial tablets. ‘The view from Ube top this morning was beaut!- ful, The fats were Out like a map. Directly Uund-rneath the carts and wagons were movlug about at « snail's pace; every tug seemed sinoU- ered, flattened, and silenced by te enor- mou’ distance intervening. Away Of on tue horizon toward the nortuwest Sugar Loaf Moun- tain poked its biue above the hills and marked the Umit of the unaided vision. The air was chilly and raw, and the reporter soon sought the car again. ‘Tue down trip was made ata good rate until Colonel Wilson was encountered at about the 300. foot level, He had walked that fur up, and wanted to be carried to the top. ‘The car was stopped and then starved for the top again. ‘CONTRACT POR SETTING THE MEMORIAL STONES.
