Postmaster e Wilson, framed the tariff bill for which the senate substituted the measure ot “per fidy and dishonor.” still takes a hope ful view of the futur In a recent in terview he expressed the injon that the tariff law will yet provide sufli cient revenue to meet the expenses of the government. “When the new tarif has been fairly tried there will be a surplus,” sald the sanguine postinaster general, who is the same person who admonished the British manufacture: to look out democer taritf went into effect, an admonition which did not trouble them the least bit because they knew that tavift would give them a I v sha of the American market than they had enjoyed for more than thirty y and this they are now realizing.
