— Published Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE ntered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, 2 Minnesota, as Secoud-Class Matter DOCTORS DISAGREE, There is a painful difference of ‘% opinion among Republican authori- “ties on the fiseal situation and the present condition of the treasury. ‘In his response to the committee who notited him of his nomination on Wednesday President Roosevelt said: “In the fiscal year that has just _closed the excess of income over the ordinary expenditures was $9,000,000. This does not take account of the $50,000,000 expended out of the accumulated surplus for the sur- plus for the purchase of the Isthmian caval.” Upon this showing, and sowe further boosting of the treasury report, the president did quite a little crowing. We turn now to the statement re- cently made by Secretary Leslie M. Shaw in an interviewW with the special correspondent of The Globe. Mr. Shaw said: ‘The disbursements thus far in July have been $21,000,000 more than the curreop receipts.” Asked if he expected there would be a surplus remaining at the end of the year, he said: “‘No, Ido not. In my annual report to congress last. year I predicted that there would be a treasury deficit of $23,000,000 for the fiscal year 1905. I estimated that the deticit for the fiscal year 1904 would be $14,000,000, and that would have turned out to be true if it had not been for the Jarge payments for the Panama canal and the extra appropriation for the St. Louis ex- position.” We find President Roosvelt stating that there is a surplus of $9,000,000 for the fiseal year just closed. We tind Secretary Root saying that his estimate of $14,000,000 deficit for that year would have been realized, only that we had to pay $50,000,000 four our rights or wrongs in Panama, and therelore the deficit must be in- creased by that amount. Nobody ts more expert in juggling with figures than a Republican campaigner. We leave the eminent executive of the United States and the eminent secre- tary of the treasury to settle be- tween theniselves which is right as to the condition of the treasury for © ic last fiscal year. ‘There isn’t any doubt at all about what is going to happen in the future. Secretary Shaw says that he still thinks the deficit of $23,000,000 prophesied for the year ending next June would be correct if congress had made no more liberal appropriations than it did before. But he says that congress exceeded his idea of gener- osity by something like $53,000,000, “and so other factors remaining the same, it would appear that my es- timate of the deficit for thie fiscal year would have to be increased accordingly.” If the secretary of the treasury is right, then we may an- ticipate a deficit of $75,000,000, in round numbers, for the current fiscal year. He hints that this may be cut down by diverting two-thirds of the amount from the sinking fund, which would be a characteristically Republican procedure. By no means the least interesting feature in this interview with Secre- ‘tary Shaw is his comparison of the Wilson tariff and the Dingley act. He says that the former “was a much better revenue producer than the Dingley law is, relatively speak- ing.”’ He adds further the very significant sentence: “The Dingley tariff is a tariff for prosperity.” Gelden words of whisper seldow fall from the lips of Leslie M. Shaw, but this is an exception. The Dingley tariff is exactly as he says, a tariff for prosperity. I[tisa tariff such as a country can standy only when it is prosperous. Itis like champagne aud autumobiles, which require a good living income behind them. A country: tremendously pros- perous by reason of good crops and expanding commerce can prosper even under a Dingley tariff. But it is a heavy handicap even in that case. Whenever business slackens and prosperity is at all impaired, then the Dinglev tariff is a stone tied about the neck of a man strugglin, tor life in a seaway. We are sind to have this confession of faith and this lucid explanation at once of treasury conditions and of tariff principals by one of the high priests of this administration.—St. Paul Globe. ne el Every Democrat mourns the death of Robert E. Pattison. He was an honor to the party of which he was an illustrious member.
