THE WILSON TARIFF.
The Republican new.papers and poli
tician. have much to say In criticism
of the Wilson tarll! bill because R fells
t.i provide a sufficient revenue for the
needs of the government. When the
Republican party was In power, they
say, Its tariff law. were such that the
treasury was amply supplied with
money.
Is this a fair statement of the case!
When tho la.t Republican congress
met the treasury was burdened with a
tremendous surplus. A little over three
years afterwards, when the Republican
administration went nut of power, the
surplus had disappeared, and the gold
reserve had sunk to within two millions
of the *100.000.(100 mark, llnw rould
this tie, If the revenues were ample—
na large or larger than tho expend!
lures? Tho McKinley law continued
In operation lifter the Democratic ad
ministration came Into power, and the
deficiency of revenues under Us opera
tions was very large—amounting
about *70,000,000 during the Inst twelve
months It was In force.
On tho other hand, the Wilson bill
has been In full operation only since
Jan. 1 Of this year. For the ten monthB
for which tho reports sre accessible,
the deficiency amounts to about *35,-
000,000, and of this the destruction of
the income tax feature by the supreme
court accounts for perhaps *30,-
000,000. That Is to ssy. If the Wilson
hill as It passed were now In opera
tion there would be this year almost
no deficit, whereas In the last year of
the McKinley law there waa a deflclt
of *70.000,000.
It would be unfair to say that this
failure of tho McKinley act to produco
n sufficient revenue wss wholly duo to
the faults of the act \lself. In normal
times, we have no doubt, tho returns
from It would have been ample for tho
needs of the government. Its failure
was duo to the panto nnd tho depres
sion following It. The government's
business suffered In tho same way that
the business of the Individual cltlsons
suffered. Hut thla la equally true of Iho
Wilson bill. It not only suiters from
having been mutilated by tho supreme
court, but Its operations have been con
fined to a period of business depres
sion. It should not bo charged with
faults which sre not Its own any more
than the McKinley law should be. Tho
revenues from It are Increasing, and
there la good reason to believe that, In
spile of the loss of the Income tax, It
will, after a few months, provide tho
money necessary to an economical ad
ministration of tho government,

Interesting department. The subject
has been given a great deal of atten

ance to the state. Commenting on this
feature of the exposition, the Manu
facturers' Record says that the office
of rood Inquiry oi the United Slates
department of agriculture haa Just
completed a series of "traction tests.”
the objects of which was to determine
the amount of pulling force that a
team exerts In drawing a loaded wagon
over various kinds of roads. On the
specimen the experiments were con
ducted. A "traction-dynamometer,"
devised nnd made especially for the
teat, waa used to measure the amount
of traction force.
The forco necessary to draw 5,500
pounds up a 4 per cent, grade on a
smooth stone road was only 350 pounds,
while It required 1,900 pounds to draw
tho same load down a 4 per cent, grade
on a typical sand road, and the driver
refused to venture at all upon an or
dinary "Georgia dirt road." Two small
mules easily pulled 7,500 pounds up a
per cent, grade on tho stone road,
were stalled Immediately on at
tempting to go downhill on the sand
road.
The concluslona drawn from nil of
tests Is that a team Is able to haul
much In one load ovt!r a smooth
well-rolled stone road as it can haul
four loads over the country roads
now In common use, and that the sud
den Jerks and stralnn which are s<
wearing on a team are entirely done
away with when hauling over a smooth
surface of a well-rolled stone road.

Among his guests was the Marquis of

whom Dunraven challenged for the
America's clip. This fact has led to
the statement that It was contem
plated to hack Lord Dureven's protest
against hts alleged Ill-treatment In the
United States, with ithe signatures of
all members of the Royal Yacht Squad

W. K. Vanderbilt, as lessee of one
of Lord Lovat's deer forests, refuses to
pay the county taxes. At the last
meeting or the Inverness county coun

read, in -which he complains that he is
continually annoyed by claims for oc
cupancy -taxes, and that he has re
solved to pay no attention to them In
the future. The letter created much
amusement in the council, and after
some discussion, It was resolved to take
the usual steps to bring about the re
covery of the amount of taxes claimed
to be due.
Truth, discussing the matter, says it
presumes all delinquent rate payers are
"continually annoyed” until they pay.
