As com- pared with the fiscal yoar of 1888, the re- coints for 1830 have increased $7,783,981.08, For th e iscal your 1800, the estimated reve- nue is §395,000,000 and the oxponses $203,- 0C0,000, leaving an estimated surplus of § 000,000, As compared with 81 close of the fiscal year 158, the ¢ treasury over and abovi linbilities at the close of 1850 was §71,- ).

In the presence of such conditions, it is & manifest duty to wisely guard against a future needless accumulation with its fruit- ful tram of evils. 1f u portion of the surplus revenue can be used to enlarge our foreign markets, and thereby advance our commercial and pro- ductive interests, it is the part of wisdoth to 80 apply it. The strengthening of our coast defenses and the buildiog up of our navy, subjects of pational concern, offer further opportunity for wise expenditures that would return the money directly to the people. ter waking provisjon for such ex- e proper and reasonable for theso purposes, a large annual surplus ‘will still remain under the operations of ex- i8ting luws, tion of the interest bearing debt of the go ment, by the purchase of bonds, is the expedient resorted to for returning i part of this surplus to the chanunels of trade, and is the only means now opeu to the se rotury of the treasury for the use of this To require from him this measure nsibility and discretion is of aoubt- ful wisdom, * A possible successful appeal to this dis, cretion tempts individuals to rash business undertakiongs, in the belief that the money in the treasury will be used to avert threat- ened disuster,” In the absenco of such dis- cretion in the secretary, the possible use of this money would cease to enter’ into the calculations of the business world, It is manifestly wrong to take money from the people for the cauncellation of bonds, to the saving of only about 2 per cent of inter- ost, when 1t is worth to them, perhaps, three times as much in their business. It is rather through a reduction of customs receipts and aternal taxes, that an unnecessary acoum- ulation of money in the treasury should be avoided., The tobacco tax collected, according to the report, amounted to $31,860,837.58, and the socretury suys: Whatever may be said of the moral or physical effects and influence of to. bucco, it has come to be regarded as a neces ity by the poor as well us the rich. It now the only product of agriculture tuat i directly tuxed by the goverument. The re. peal of this tax would reduce the surplus About £54,000,000. The secretory characterizes the tax on al- cohol for use in the arts as a direct and oner- ous burden upon our industrial interests. As slcohol way be exported without the pay- ment of this tax, & direct and ruinous d crumiation is made in favor of foreigu man- ufacturers, to the serious detriment of our own industries, ‘The -proposition to remove this tax, it would scem, should commend itself to the advocates of free raw material for use in do- mestic manufacture. It certainly should meet with favor from those who aemand the free admission of wool, on which there was collected in the last fiscal year the sum of #5,082,311.76, and the production of which has been stimulated to the notable benefit of our agricultural interests, by a rate of duty ;l?n 200 par cent less than the tax on alco- ol, In ease the tax should be removed both from tobacco and alcohol used in the wrts, the reduction thus effected would be about 57,500,000, leavi Nhl.klu"w from internal reveaue of about 000, speaks of reduction customs The secretary receipts from customs us 4 means for dimin- ishidg the revenue by cutting down exces- sive rates of dul{. by increasing rates on articles which have not been successfully produced here because not udequately pro- thus stinulating home production #od diminishing iportations, and by trans- ferring to the free list articles which cannot be successfully produced heve, Horizontal reduction, the secretary be- lieves, would be followed by disastrous e fects, diminishing the demand for America s labor and capital, withdrawiog from circula- tion here the money required 1o pay the duty on increased importations, and I - creasing the adverse balance of trade with foreign countries. Under the bead of tariff for revenue only the report say: If, under a protective tariff, $300,000,000 of importations would pay | the ecity vi an annuel revenue of £100,000,000, to produce the same amount at haif the tariff for revenue only $500,000,000 of {mportation this policy, in the case supposed, wouid be 1o take from American producers their home market of £60,000,000 of products and trans- Yer 1t to their for competitors, While it would thus deprive our workmen of empl ment, it would also deplets the country of old to pay for foreign Iabor and materiol, which shoulid be sapplied at home. The secretary believes it to bo the domi- nant sentiment of the countey that tho protective principlo should wovern in auy scheme for a revision of the tariff, e holds that the present tarif act is full of in- equalities and defects, which should be rem- edied. 1t is urged tha schedulos care be taken to avoid conflicting provisions and ambicuities. Furthermore, in the conatruction of a tariff law in its broader sense, reference should oe had not only to the changed conditions of vur do mestic commerce and manutactures since the enactment of previous Larifls, but aiso to the cultivation and extension of our trade rela- tions with those countries whiose geograph- ical situation and resources are such as to make intimate commercinl intercourse with them particularly desirabie. Inder the head of merchant marine the makes the following recommonda- irmly convinved that American steamship builders and owners cannot un- aided compete with the wovernments of Kurope: that without proper aid and encour- agement from the United States we shall not Ly fail to regain our lost foreign carrying trade, but even to retain much longer the small remuont that remains, and that the restoration of our m abt - maring is essential to the extension of our for- eign_trade, I do not hesitate w0 recom- mend that liberal and judicious aid aud encouragement be given for the con struction of steam merchaut vessels,su ] for use as cruisers and transports in'time of war that fair and liberal rates be paid to American steamers for transportation of mails to foreign countries; and that special aid, either in the form of mail pay, or for mileage run, be made for the cstabiishment of direct connection by American steamer lines with Mexico, Central and South Amer- ica, and with China and Japan. The silver question is treated exhaustively inallits phases and arguments presonted, and the conclusion reached is embodicd in the following measure recommended by the secretary: Issue treasury notes against de- Dosits of silver bullion at the market price of silver when deposited, payable on demand in such quantities of silver bullion as will equal in value, at the dato of presentation, tho number of dollars evpressed on the face of the notes at the market prico of silver, or in gold, at the option of the government; or in silver doflars ut the option of the holder.

His later work shows that he is better fitted for - literary work in all points suve the one in question. He has a more confident stroke, but his pic- tures stand before you s if they wero in a haze, they have lost their clearncss of outline, and their actions do not touch you as deeply as before. He re- membered the geography of New Or- leans, has an idea of where the streets lie, where certain groups of negroes and creoles stand, but he can’t recall it all, and when you read after him you only see, and faintly, what he remem- bers, He bas not the ever-varying type to paint from, and he is forced to dress up his old ones in the habiliments of would-be disguise. Some readers don't detect the sham, but they are not inter- ested in Mr. Cable’s 'late books, and don’t know why, Itis the same with Richard Malcolm Johnson and Miss Murfree’s work. Joel Chandler Harris is a fair example of stay-at-home au- thors. His daily existence presents to him hundreds of interesting types he nor his readers have ever seen before. We are interested in his pietures, and anxiously look forward for more of them. He leads southern writers, and will continue todo so. It is a great mistake for writers. us soon as they have attracted the attention of the lit- erary world to their work, to drop the very studies which have given them prominence, and try to write about something they know nothing about.

Most people take it for granted that because musk is sold in what is called a pod, therefor it is a vegetable product. But the truth is, says the Sun Fran- cisco Argonaut, that it is an entirly animal product, being asubstance found in & two or three-inch sac in the body of the little musl deer of Asia. This sac, when tied up and dried, goes by the name of a pod among the hunters who bring it into market. Probably there are few things sub- jectea to such adulterations, as one part of pure musk will scent thousands of parts of some other (Powdar mingled with it, and as the pods sell for from $15 to $20 apiece the adulteration has its profits, It is indeed so pungent that when just fresh it has been known to produce violent bleeding at the nose,and many people are so susceptible to it as to have sad headaches brought about by contact with the pure article; and while a suspicion of it is yery agreeable to many persons one atom becomes offens- ive, as the case iswith patchoull and many other odprous substances.
