The revenues lust year provided a surplus of about sixteenmill- ion dollavs, There was a very lurge in- crease from the duty on aleoholic hev- ENGLISH erages and beer, and the estimates for the postal and telegraph services were cousiderably — exceeded. The fact of a surplus was not ex- | | netly exceptional, though un- | usual, and so large an amount in excess of estimates has ravely been vealized, It indicates a prospevous year. The suggestive point for us in the | matker is that the people are to get the bewelit in reduced charges | and faxes. The Indian and co- lonial postage rate is to be cut down; the apprentice agreement stamp is to be reduced and the stamp on health insurance policies abolished; the dusy on tea will be reduced, and also that on® currants; the inhabited house tax will be lowered, and all work- | in S8 tenements under one hundred dollars vental will be exempted from the house tax. It is true the opponents of the government had nothing tosay in ap- proval of tl 15, which they SO Propos. | regarded as made for eloctioneering pur- poses, but this really does not detract from the fact that having a surplus the government s disposed to relieve the people of taxation where it can he done with the greatest benelit to them, | as it is clearly its duty to do. l‘ It would be an easy matter to find extraomdinary opportunities for the expenditure of the small surplus and for vequiring a continuance of all the ta tion that has produced it, but English | statesmanship is now exercised in find- ing ways to reduce the burdens on the | people, and it would scem to very good purpose. 11 the people are made Lo real- ize that they have been given velief, and | many of them will do so, they will not i trouble themselves about the motive, | and the government will deserve to proflt Ly its action. THE POINT OF DISAGREEMENT. The disagreement of the senate and | house silver on the single point as to the vedemption of the notes to be issued against silver bullion isvery likely to postpone final action on a silver bill, It was reasonably hoped that de- lay would be avoided and views haymon- ized by the committees which huve been in confevence, but as the situation now committees | staiids the prospect is that each house will puss a bill, and that a prolonged con- forence will be necessary to effect an ad- justment of conflicting views regarding the redemption of silver bullion certifi- cates. It has been suggested that there is u feeling of jealousy between the two houses on this subject, but what appear move credible is that while the house disposed to provide silver logis that uecords with the viewsof Secrotary Windom the silver men in the senate de- ve to ignore the administration in the 'S It will. be remembered that the plan proposed by the secretary of the treasury, and which in all its most essentinl features has been accepted by the coinage com- mittee of the house, received hardly re- spectful considoration from the finance committee of the senate, The lutter committee promptly reported u measure ing in character | lution in the countr from the V n th inc wdom plan, and it still in prineipal features of this uding the redemption of aist sure me silver bullion certifieates in lawful money At the option of the hole The secretary of the treasury is under- stood to gard this proposition a8 very risky, as it would compel him to purehinse sily the produ tion of Ameriean mines and subject him to the necessity of Issuing certificates for imported bullion which would have to be redeemed in gold at the option of the holder. Tt is estimated that this bill would require purchases of silver, exceeding the quantity now produced by the mines of this country, th amount used in the arts, to the amount in excess of loss annually of from ten o fifteen million dollnrs. This would take away from the country fifteen mil- lion dollars in gold, or in products which would buy gold, and at the same time there would be created o toempornry demand for silver abroad which the mines of the world would hasten 1o supply Sueh o policy would result in deplet- It is entively redem m of sily ing the treasury of gold, sufe make the certifieates in gold optional with the government, a8 proposed in the house bill, and it will be no injustice to the owners of silver who exchange their bullion for treasury certificates to require that this ey shall be redeemable in coined ver. Atany vate they ought to bo satisfied with getting back for their cor- tificates what they gave for them. The position of the house committee in this contention s unquestionably wise and safe, and doubtloss the senate silver men will finally sce, undor the pressu of public sentiment, the necessity of aceeding to it. ca DA'S PERPLEXITIES. Our northern neighbors are vepr sented to be greatly worvied over the MeKinley tavift bill, which they appre- hend would result in a financial and in- dustrial erisis there. The farmers and rin dealers, it is reported, fearving that an inerease of duty on barvley would shut stock entirely out of the rlcet, are rushing it to the with all haste, so as to dispose of it orstore it on the American side by fove the tariff bill can pass. Meantime the discussion of retalintory mous- ures on the one hand and plans of com- mereial union, reciprocity and annexa tion as the othery is giving the Canadian people abundant material for attention and controversy. Amo the measures of retaliation which are receiving consideration is a proposed alien lubor law, similar in char- acter to the law of this country, It will probubly be adopted, notwithstanding the fact that it cowtd have no important effeet for the reason that the number of Americ who aployment in Canada at any point is very small. The wisdom of adopting w policy of this kind, which would amount simply to showing the existence of a retali- atol certainly not a good w better relations between tries. Another project s of and which would be most unw is that of closing the Canadian waters nnd islands of the St. Lawrence against American visitors. The number of Americans who sojourn at these islands during the summer months leave amount of moncy in the hands of dian people, and the dominion ment would inflict far more injury upon ns seele ¢ spirit, is very questionable, and is of promoting the two coun- iid to he talked rent i own citizens than upon Ameri- cans by excluding the latter from these resorts. The proposal suggests avery narrow idea of national policy which it is not to be presumed the intel- ligent sentiment in Canada will approve, Another question which is receiving public discussion is that of providing some way to prevent or reduce the emi- gration of Canadians to the United States, but this presentsa problem which the Dominion government will hardly find it possible to solve, Until Canada offers hetter opportunitics than at pros- ent for men of energy and enterprise, such men will go where theve is a field for ther, The questions of broader scope, s v procity and commercial union, ave not hein neglected, and thoere arve indications of a growth of sentiment in favor of an effort on the part of the Dominion government looking to the establishment of closer teade relations between the United States and Cunada, Our proposed ho tilo tarifi may contribute to this, and should authorize negotiations looking to the establishmoent of reci- procity or commercialunion, inthe event of a proposal coming from the Dominion government, there is very little doubt that there would be a sufficient, pressure from the Canadian people to induce their government to take steps for bringing about this vesult, But just now the ituation there is ono of muny perpley ities. Tue opponents of high licensa point to the number of illegal joints in the o pities of Pennsylvania as proof of its fuilure. A more absurd argument could not be trumped up, Every transi- tion from low to high license has been followed by a temporary struggle with the luwless element. Philadelphin and Pittsburg are simply going through the experience of Omaha, When the Slocum law was put into operation in this city, those who were unuble to put up th cash resorted to various methods to evade the law., Clubs and ‘*‘speak- easies” were numerous, but they were short-lived. The police and the courts soon drove them out of existence, and today Omaha can bhoust of one of the most effec- tive and orderly systems of saloon regu- v 1t is incompur- ably superior to the free dramshops in vogue in prohibition states, where town couneils are forced to enact to secure a revenue from the trafic, It is only necessary to compare the licensed bog liquor traffic in Omaha with the lawless liquor traflic in Towa, High license s nifies logal vestriction and limitation of suloons; prohibition means high taxes, free whisky, aud an unlimited number of dives.
