In en- deavoring to keeppce wiili hr r wealth ier du mure juwrr.oi allies in military reparations for prospective war with ituffia and France, Italy has fatally overstrained her fiaaDcial resourct-s. 11-forrt the Iinlian tlovernmeut was lured irto th ami Iti- us jolicy there was m ron'derable surplus in the X iual Treusurv. Hat since then the Finan cial MinUter has been compelled to wrt-Mie w th a cors aaily rising dtCcit. which in the present y-r amounts to ouitbirj betweeu f 20 Ou0.0oJ and ?23.0)0,Ot.O. Such a iiuatim will cari--ly be comprehended in a country the National Treasury of which con tains a surplus ot double that amount. As is cot unusual in such cases, the polttictais whopzJ the Italian Gv ernment in'o the alliaucA with Ger many and Austria, and rejoiced over ihe proud posiuun which their country thus assumed iu tbe affairs of Europe, J are unwilling to accept the linanctal r-spnsibil; ties cntaiied by the alliance. The Deputies in the Italian Chamber contemplate In alarm the steadily ris ing treasury Ueacit, and hesita'e to im pose freeh burdens on the backs of a poor and weli-uijrh exhausted people. The curse of the situation is that the Italian Gov rnment must maintain its enormous military expenditures or lose what has already been gained in the 8.ru7Kle to elevate Italv to the rank of a tirst-class l'ower. With the new inventions in tht enginey ef war, in creasing demands are made by the miN itary tstabliabtuents of Europe upou the government Mac. and fresh sacrifi ces must be made every year to Moh ch. As Germany and Austria increjs their military preparations their ally of Italv muat maintain the'r pace or fall liac-k into the position of a second cr third rate l'ower, incapable of exicts ing any irilueucs in the politics of 13ur pe. In the meantime, while the financial affairs of Italy arj hateuiug toa crixi., Russia patiently pursues her waitirg policy, contident that when ripe the fruit of her cutning diplomacy will drop into her 1 tp.

As might well hvn been anticipated, the scheme to reueal or reduce the lo bacco and whiskey taxes ia meet i eg with stern resisiace amoug tb people, without regard to party. lo Burling ton, I twa, a petition is in circulation, especially amot g Il-puolicaos, rtqueat iig that Representative Gear us bis influence in Congress to reduce tariff taxes en necrssaries of living and raw materials rath r than to remove the in terna! taxes from tobacco and whiskey. Tre Burlington Ilatrktye (R.-publicau ) h-s aeciared emphatically in favor of the principle embodied in ttiis petition. J.'inicg in tbe chorus, tbe Frte Jtt dht. of C'hicxgo, sign fis cny notiries tLe I'resident and tbe Republican par ty thatlLevaie "on ihe wrong track if i by iODcgiue ihey can conciliate an enliBhtentd, conscientious people by cheapening tooacco and whiskey in or der to rnaUitaiu high pi ices lor sugar and woolm clothing, tui thoes and bats, tor printing paper and tjpts and other necessaries." While the scheme of repealing tbea taxes on tobacco is still adhered to. the repeal of tbe taxes on whitkey has been well nigh abandoned nnder the whole some dread of public opinion. It is proposed to undermine tbe internal revenue system tiy removing the inter nal tax upon fruit brandv and on alco hol used for manufacturing purposes. There is a strong argument in favor of releasing alcohol for such uses from tax. if this could be accomplished without serious Rimy to the revenues. But the inevitable effect of such a policy wou.d t to introduce demoralization and fraud iutothe internal revenue sys tem and render the system itself not worth preserving. Oa the other hand, the repeal of the taxes on tobacco has not a respectable argument to support it. Tbe tax ef fects none but the consumers of tobac co, and they are making no complaint of i s light burdens. The only tffect ot repe -ling the lax would be to deprive the Government of $30,000,000 of fiscal revenues in order .o miiutain oppres sive tariff taxes on raw materials and articles of necessity which bring little reveuue to the Treasuiy. bat swell tbe pr fl s of greedy tariff beneficiaries. Pliila Record. Our Duty to the Brazilians. Tbe dispatches ia the nature of semi i fficial bulletins from the Brazilian iliuister ot Finance to the R-piesenta-tive of that Govurouieut at Washington continue to be veiy interesting. As woik of the "literary bureau'' of the tew Republic tl.er are highly credita ble, and there is no reaajn to doubl their accuracy. They serve to counter balance the reckies inventions of spec ulative cliques, and they supply to the friends of popular government material with which to meet Ihe intrigues of monarchists kUo are latioriiiir tor the destruction of the lufaul Republic. Senator Ens. is of Louisiana, who is a member ot ibe Srnale Comuitiee ou Foreign Relations, has expressed the Democratic view of the situation suc- ciuut, wnu u eaiueBo auu auiuiy. lie declares that the pro;er thing for this G vernmeut to hare done wan lo have promptly recognized the new Republic ia tbe mnet haaiiy and unmistakable errrs, as was done through Minister Washburne when the Republic was pro claimed in France. If, he says, we wait untn afer the election of the Constitu ent A sot inly, we wiil pieaent the sorry pp-c acle of trotii:g along in the train or the Cz.r of Rubia. the Shah of Fer sij, the Sultau of Tuikey and all the despo'8 rf the world, who will then be compelled lo recognize the Brazilian R-public as a mat.tr of course, if, in deed, the nt w-born lep-jbhcanism of the great S?uib Auericau country should &o lung survive the blighting affect of passive but deadly bosuliiy. There is but one hocest and patriotic rouise for the Harrisou Adaiiuistratiou t pursue. It is far better to openly conies? a grave error and to set to woik to remedy it than to persevere in the course inconsistent with our own inter ests and institutions. The Fresident should without any further delay rrccgn:z9 the Republic of Brbzti m so formal, emphatic and cordial a manner as lo repair In so far as is possible tbe grave injustice our policy has already inflicted, and to serve notice npon the governments of the world that the Republic of tte Uni ted S.alea of North America stands firmly by the Repnblic of the United Mates of Brazil. X. Y. Star. Tbe Tariff Hcariugo. That section of the House of Ilepre stntativtB over which McKiuley pre sides, the Ways and Meaua committee, is spending ns holiday week trying to Sud out how to frame a tariff bill that will please every body. At least the committee has asked everybody to ap pear and speak bis mind on tbe subject. Perhaps everybody has not accejttd the invitation, but the committee has not yet gone to steep for lack, of some oue lo la k to it on tariff. Naturally those who are interested in the maintenance of the existing high taiiff rates have so far done most of the Ulkiag. Their large profits depend upon a high tariff, and they can well affoid the time and money a trip to Washington costs if by bo small an ex penditure they can retain so great an advantage. ui.e as naturahy those up.m whom high tariff rates press with grinding force the conoumers of man ufactured goods and manufacturers taxed for their raw material do not appear lu great force before the corn mi: tee. They cannot afford to, as un nessary tanff taxation does not leaye them either leisure or mooev for such a trii. For these reasons Ihe hearings now in piojcrrss lefore ihe committed are likely to confirm Mr. McKinley nd his Ittpub.icaii collei.guts 10 ih det-rmi-nation to malntam the existing high rate of duties upon mst articles. And yet, it Mr. McKtulev bones;ly wishes to get at the real aentimeot of the mjor i 7 of Ihe voters on this But-jtct, he will goout of his way a littl lo leam what the people who can't afford a journey to Washington think about it. 27uu J ltilS.
