The proposition of the democrats to m ‘out duties to the amount of $10,- 0,000 in order to save $800.000,000 agriculturalists of the cou reads well, but it is less practical than it looks, since a reduction of the rev- enues of the government by ten mil- lions - would be very embarrassing to the administration. - Our Washington correspondent ‘Where the revenue is to come from to pay the running expenses of the government after the passage of the free-list bill, a revision of the cotton and woolen duties, and the reorgan- ization of the sugar schedule, Is a question that is causing, some worry to the majority members of the house ays and means committee. Appro- ‘priations for the next fiscal vear have been made, the income tax is not vet here, the mew tariff will cut off a large revenue that musp be provided from some other sou Internal revenue taxation is being discussed. and various plans are proposed, among them an increase of the tax on beer, frem one to two dollars per barrel; a tax on deadly weapons, of the sort that can be concealed agd are con- sidered the most dangeroys; a tax on proprietary madical prepafations; and a countervailing duty 'on Brazilian| coffee, with a view of serving a double purpose of raising a . revenue = and smashing the ‘coffee trust. “Free sugar is doomed in advance,| | the supporters of the home industry are too sireng; but there will undoubt- edly be a hig cut in sugar duties. There is a strong majority sentiment to support the free wool proposition, committee should recommend and the house pass it, the senate would reject| it, but the dutles will be distinetly| lowered. The wool situation is sald to| be giviag the eemmmittee more weorry! than any other schedule. “They have voted to take up wool ahead of cotton. It is estimated that! ninety per cent. ef the democratic| membership is in faver of free weol, but Chairman Underwood, and the mi- nority of the committee, are opposed to it, as it is claimed that a free-wool pelicy will block the entire tariff re- vision programme; free wool cannot possibly get through the senaie, as there are a number of free-wool dem- ocratic senators who will join with the republicans o defeat the proposi- tion.” TURN ON THE LIGHTS.

He has refused.” This is interesting, both in its di- rect statement and in its insinuation. ‘What's the rest of the story?
