PUTURE OF "HE TREASURY. 1f tho estimates of the seoretary of the treasury should be realized the govern- ment would have no dificulty in meot- ing its obligations for the fiscal yenrs of | 1803 and 1804, For the former, noarly | half of which has expired, the estimated revenue is in round figures $462,000,000 and the expenditures $161,000,000, loav- ) | ing a surplus for the year of $2,000,000, H For the fiscal year ending June 30, ) | 1894, it is estimated that the | revenues will amount to $490,000, | 000, while the estimated appropri- | ations, exclusive of sinking fund, are | placed av a little over 8157,000,000, leav- ing an estimated sur phm of nearly 33.000,000. The cash balance hove | gold reserve at the close of the 1 | fiscal yearisexpected to be about $20,000, 000, which, ndded to the above surplus, | iy £53,000,000 on this are ac June 30, sed and ons nmounting to $5 , 1801 10, Against rulng oblig 100,000, while no account is taken of the requirements of the fund for 1801 It isnot necessary, however, to considor that fund, as the next will proba- bly not care to provision for it The estimntos of reve based upon existing conditions, nnd a8 these will bo radically altated by the next congress through a change of pol- ey ro ding the tarifl, littie reliance cnn be placed upon the estimates for tho next fiseal year. As the cretary | of the treusur ys, it is impossible under the present circumstances to osti- mate the annual income with a; markel degree of nccuracy. 1t sonnbly 1o be expected that in view of | tariff veduetions thore will be a falling oft in importations and a corraspoading doeereaso in the rovenues, the extent of which cannot be measured until bu ness ean ndjust itsolfl to the now condi- tions. This may not take effect 80 soon as to make any important difference with the revenue of the current fiscal but it will inevitably in the importations from which the customs revenue for the fscal yenr 1894 will be derived, and it is alto- sinking congr make any v nue are of courso marked d s your, shown ceipts from customs $210,000,000 will be too large. Indeed it they witll not exceed, below, for that year of found considerably is very likely that if th do not fall the customs receipts for the last r, which were a littlo ov 7,000,000, In that cvent the secre on Juae 30, 1834, would be wipad out. But thi not all. It is also estimated that there will be a considerable in- creaso in the receipts from intornal rov- enue. This will depend upon the gon- eral prosperity, and if it does not im- prove, asthere is no good reason to be- lieve it will, the result will inevitably fall short of the estimate. Theinternal revenue receipts for the last fiscal year amounted to a little less than $154,000,- 000, and the secretary of tho treasury estimates that for the al year 1894 they will amount to $175,000,000, an in- crease in two years of $21,000,000. It will not be surprising if these figures are found to be too high by at least $10,000,000, RA ful review of all the facts,” suys the secretary of the treasury, “fully justifies the opinion that the large in- crease of veceipts ascribed to the mu velous prosperity of the country under the present vevenus system would, it continued, enable the department dur- ing the “coming fiscal year to meet all obligations without the slightest im- pairment of its cash and thereafter con- tinue to show a material improvemont in its condition.” Under the demund | of the country for a change of policy the immediate future of the national treas- ury does not appear altogather encour- aging. The democratic party will find, when it takes control of the govern- | ment, thatt is, indeed, » condition and nov a theory that confronts it. 1 1 o E d o 0 v h a a - e o PROPOST A DUTY ON SUGAR. The democratic purpose to remove sugar from the free list has taken form. Congressiman Hartor of Ohio has intro | duced in the house of reprosentatives a bill to levy a uniform duty of half a cent | a pound on and to ubolish the bounty on sugar of domestic production, to take effect Fobruary 1, 1803, The total importa- tion of sugar for the last fiscal year was upward of 8,500,000,000 pounds, and it is estimated that for the current fiscal year the importation will be not less than 4,000,000,000 pounds. A duty of half a cent a pound on this amount would yield a revenue of $20,000,000, The bounty paid upon sugar produced in the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1892, was $7,342,077.79, which will be somewhat increased for the cur- vent year if the bounty is not abolished It may be estimated that the revenue und tho saving to the treasuty from | the proposed legislation would amount | to from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000. ) t 5 n . t n s current | 1 estimated available balance of | bo | gethor probable that tho estimated re- | tary of the treasury’s estimated surplus | 11 grades of sugar imported | The approaches to our county court | The United States will import 800,000,000 pounds of coffes this year and probably 90,000,000 pounds of ten. A demo- oratio paper suggosts that a duty of 2 cents a pound on the for- mer would yield #16,000,000 and 5 cents n pound on the latter $4,500,000, and it urges duties on sugar, coffee and tea for one reason ‘“‘that they would be purely fiscal, and could be easily and cheaply collected.” Tt is truo that these would be distinctively revenue duties because we do n ot produce coffee or ten, | and the domestic vroduction of sugar | supplies only the merest fraction of the demand, but it is absurd to pretend that there would be no oppression in such a direct tax upon the people. It would be an infinitely greater hardship than the tax on tin plate which the democratic | party has so persistently denounced. [ There is no chance for such tion as Mr. Harter proposes by this con= gre: His bill may pass the house, but | it would certainly fail in tho senato. It is interesting only as showing the in- tentions and policy of the democratic party, which means to tax the Ameri- can people in order that the foreign manufacturers may enjoy a larger share of the American market. NEEDS OF THE RETAIL TRADE. Omaha’s wholesale dealers are more than satisfied with the heavy demands | upon them from every section tributary to this city. The retail trade is much botter than it was a year ago but not all that it should be in a city of our popula- tion. What is needed most now is, first, bet- ter country rouds that will enable the farmers of Douglas, Sarpy, Washington and Dodge counties to do their selling and buying in Omaha. Second, a sub- division of the farming lands and their actual cultivation by truck gardeners and farmers. Hundreds of thousands of acres of land within a radius of forty miles owned by speculators still unbroken. Third, free w acrcss the Missouri and Platte rivers. Farmers in Pottawattamie county,Towa, and in Cass and Saunders counties are kept from trading in Omaha by reason of heavy bridge toils and poor bridge fa- cilities. Ifthe Douglas street bridge were made a free wagon bridge by a piyment to the company of abonusto cover these tolls travel and traffic between Council Bluffs and Omaha would be doubled and trebled. Lastly, Omaha needs | factories and mills that will give con- stant employment to working people at fair wages. The I)\llk of the rehfl trade comes from the wage-carners. The rich are very poor patrons of home industry. Most of them buy in Chicago and New | York, even when they can buy the same avticles for less money in Omaha. In fact, they prefer to pay two prices so they can boast that their furniture, their bric-a-brac or their Cresses and clothing were purchased in the fashion centers of the country THE A MENT OF PROPERTY. At the last election anew lot of tax assessors was put up. Among them gre some good men, but others are men who will be slow to appreciate the responsi- bilities of the office. The law which provides compensation for the services of assessors does not show that degree of liberality which attracts a high grado of ability. Yet, in point of fact, the oflice is one of the most important within the ift of the people. The constitution of Nebrasla contains special instructions to assessors. It tolls them that overy person and cor- | poration shall pay a tax in proportion to the value of his, her or its property and franchises. This provision, as TH | BER has ofton shown, has heen openly disregarded by tho assessors of this county. The most glaring instance of this kind has been in the assessment upon the property of the Belt Line rail- road, which is said by its owners to be worth $8,000,000, wkile it has been re- turned by the assessors at less than $05,000. This is a rank injustice to tho great body of feeeholders who must pay increased taxes to mako up the neces- | sary fund for maintaining the state and | county government. The men who | most suffer by this inequality ave those | who elected the assessors to office. It is important for assessors to bear in mind that very little property is logally exempt from taxation. Only the property of the state, counties and municipal corporations and property | used exclusively for agricultural and horticultural societies, for school, relig- ious, cemetery and charitable purposes can escape the assessor. There ave in- stances in this county where the above provisions have been evaded. Thein- tent of the law is that property ex- empted shall be used exclusively for the purposes set forth. Where property that is bringing in a rental to the owners has been exempted under these provisions it is in violation of the law, and such property should be made to share its equal burden with all othor Jegsla- | | more llr[('d nnv\legus. Kkindlier treatment and the introdu of an industrial system have doi Ruch to bring about this result. Tr@tewetion in various trades and the Pofportunities for its practical appliggtion have enabled many nboy to @ Aut of the industrial school with a good start in the direction best suited to his tastas and abilities, and the gradual ‘abandonment of the stigma that formerly attached to the from his confinomaht. The recommen- | dation of the superfntendent of the in- | stitution at Kearnoy that improved | facilities be provided for the industrial department isin line with the progress | of the time and is supported by tho les- | | sons of experience. SUPERINTENDING the railway system in 1882 like superintending the Omaha motor and cable system in 159 That fact is inly patent to the officers of the street railway company. Half a dozen snow plows and skids are insufficient for clenning the tracks within, reasonable time after any sort of a snow storm. The company should not only take im- | mediate steps to increase its equipment | for battling with snow drifts. but 1t | should also make provision for the mass- ing of a large force of snow shovelers on | all its lines on n few hours notice. A | recurrence of Wednesday’s and Thurs- | | day’s blockade would almost precipitate a riot. Omaha horse 8 not exactly Now is a good time to do something to help along the work of the Associated Charitics of Omaha. Séveral appeals have been made to the public by this | worthy organization and they have not been without effect, but the member- ship is only about half as largo us is de- sired and the funds available for work among the needy is therefore inad quate. The severe storm that has heralded the winter should remind charitable people of the poor. Much suffering may be prevented by liberal aid of vhis soeiety, the managers of which will cheerfully perform the labor | required if they are only provided with the means, THE bogus medical collogo is an old schemo for swindling people who are as dishonest as the alleged institution itsolf, | A new one hus just come to light which bears the dignified nams of “National University of the Stato of Tilinois,” and which advertises’s to soll degrees | at very modetate figures.

In .these d the legi- timate medical man are so jealous of the good name of their protession and keep such a sharp lookout for imposters with bogus credentials that it docs not pay to purchase the right to practice medicine. Tne coal famine in northern Ne- braska, South Dakota and western Towa 18 attributed to the alleged fact that the railroads, in consequence of the recent heavy pressure of freight traffic, have been using the coal ordered by dealers. There have veen other complaints of some truth in them. If the blizzard had not blockaded the railroads they would | perhaps have delivered the coal ordered | by dealers in time to vrevent a famine, | but what right had they to confiscate it atall?
