Revenue Prospects. N" VIIJW of the piosjii'i't of n $!.", 000,000 surplus In the current llsenl year's lliiancl.il opera tions, there Is talk of be ginning to reduce the sperlul bur den of war taxation laid on to meet the exceptional costs of the Spanish-American eolilllet. The plan most favored at Washington Is to abolish the stamp taxes jn telegraph mes sngni nml cxp.vs. company receipts. Those taxes repiesont to the gio.it mass of people perhaps more dhcctl than any other foun of war levy an annoyance out of proportion to the tevenue raised by them. In either ease, to bi.. sure, the tax Is only a cent, out the addition of this cent to the ordinary "."i-eent elinige for telegrams a lid 'haulage of express packages means dlilleulty in making change, a sense of exasperation when the neces sary revenue stamps are misplaced or forgotten, and, at the best, a feeling that the game is not worth the candle. " is doubtful if there will ever be a complete leturn to the revenue basis which prevailed prior to the war. That unexpected turn In our national for tunes among other things produced conditions which will doubtless neces sitate a permanent Increase In direct taxation. In the years that have gone by.whllo we were exporting our l,r.0Q,0U0 to 2,000,00u tons or sugar a year from foreign countries, It wan not re garded as a dlllleult matter to lay upon those Imports a revenue tm Iff duty sullleleiit to pay from one-sixth to one-tenth of the entire expenses of the federal government. Such u tax was not regarded as representing a public hardship, for the reason that economies in tho processes of refining the raw sugar and In the transporting of It from place to place by boat and rail continually forced the price of sugar down while it can led with It, as, an Inseparable addition to Itself, the duty levied at the custom house. Hut henceforth this whole question will stand before our people In a new aspect. Xot only is the probability small that there will be further mate rial l eductions In the cost of refining crude sugar, thus tending to make any revenue tax upon the Imported product stand out more eonspleuosly than in the past, but there Is also the new political relationship to compll cafe the question whether any tax at all should be Interposed at the custom house between the American mainland and the outlying American dependen iles. Our people may resolve at this time to keep up the tnilif barriers in modified form, In order to meet pres ent Insular revenu" necessities and also In inter not to prejudice tho con itltutlunal Issue Itnolved In the ac quisition of these new Island terrl t lies; but It Is plain from the public opinion of today that there will al ways be a strong demand In this coun try for the doing away of all customs between mainland and dependencies, ami us the Inhabitants of the latter i-liall develop In civilization and Ameri can capital shall multiply Its invest ments among them, the pressure fur free trade will Inciease until It Is easy to foresee that at a not remot.' day It will become Irresistible. All of title emphasizes the fact that our ante-bellum revenue conditions, as well as our ante-helium territorial dip lomatic status, have been subjected by tho wnr to a radical transforma tion. They belong, as It were, to the past tense of American history and In tjjelr place we shall tee from year to yar increasing need for direct taxa tion to supplement t)iu dlinlnlshlng revenue available In the more fnnii llur Indirect, mtboils of the past.

OMK KXCKHDINCMA' Interest ing tlgures are comprised within a monograph upon "The Provision Trade of the United States," recently Issued by the bureau of statistics at Washington. The idea of "liberty enlightening lh woild" has been perpetuated In a ma jestic statue and the thought underly ing this monograph is thai liberty, as represented by Unci" Sam's domain, may not long hence have also the pro fitable vocation of feeding the world, at least In pint. TJe nninograph shows Unit the Unit ed Stales l now the world's greatest pioducer and exporter of meats, which foun one of the most Important fea tures of our export trade. In 1S&7 th total exportation of provisions and live animals was $10:,771,!)10, and in IS!'!' their total was ?207,10.".,637, having thus doubled meantime, and forming In ISM 17.L' p.'r cent, of the total exports of that year. The development of swine and cattle raising, il traced In the monograph, In the United States present- features of peculiar Interest. The development within the country has consisted chief ly In n movement from the east to tlv west, following the broad course of the corn belt. The growth of our swine rni.slng Industry has been of the ut most important to the farmers of the country, since It has furnished them an outlet otherwiSi' dlllleult to obtain for their surplus coin. The hog has become not only a converter but a con denser of vuluif, and n such has sought out Kastorn and Kuropean mar kets In eases where It would have been unprolltublc to transpoit corn. The development of swine and cattle raising has been also influenced by tho phenomenal growth of the packing Industry of the country. This evolu tion presents features of interest from the time when, In colonial days, primitive packing was can led on in Xew England, down to later times, when, about 1S20. the prototype of tho modern packing house was established in Cincinnati. Adjacent to tho corn field i of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, Cincinnati possessed the further ad vantage of being situated on the Ohio liver, down which her packed productr, were shipped to Xew Orleans, to be re shlppeil to Philadelphia Xew York and liostou. Tho westward movement of the center of the' corn belt, however and the suceessfoi competition of tho cast bound railroads, with the long, devious nnd uncertain Mississippi route, gave to Chicago In the eaily sixties an Immense advantage, and nchltryed for that city a pre-eminence which it has since retained, although Kaunas City nnd Oiuuhu are now rap Idly forging to the fore. The monograph traces this develop ment of the packing Industry down to the present time. It also gives statistic? of winter anil summer packing at vari ous centers, together with receipts and shipments of live animals and of pro visions, as well as Mtatlstles of the routes by which they are received or shipped and of their source or destina tion. Tho effects of tropical expansion upon our relation to thu world's food problem are as yet wholly conjectural, but It needs little imagination to in uplre the belief that they will eventu ally be very great. Practically one-half of the foreign productions coming Into the United Suites at the present time are for use in the factories of the United Slates. Another quarter consists of articles of food, most of which can not be pro duced In tho United States In suffi cient quantities lor the use of its popu lation, in other words, while wo aro selling goods to all the woild wo uru buying very little that we can make at home. Uncle Sam Is not In business wholly for Ills health. In two yen is of the Wilson freo trade tariff. 1895-9C, Kmope bought from the United States merchandise, worth $1,301,000,000. In the two years, 1898-1W9, of the Ulngley protective tar iff, Europe bought from us to the ex tent of $1,910,000,000. There was an In crease under protection of $ti09,0oo,ooo In two cars sules of our goods In Europe. Xo wonder our Democratic friends have dropped the freo trade crv. Agulnuldn 'has vroeln lined William Jennings Ilrynn as the "Saviour of the Philippines." In view of all cir cumstances this seems hardly fair to Mr. Atkinson. Tho Hon. Hilly Muson seems to be upon dangerous ground In tackling theconntltutlonln congressional debnto. Many a brilliant orator, who can un s chain tho dogs, of war nnd allow the eagle to screilm while listeners stnnd with hated breath In silent atlnilrntlon, hns been sndlv tangled when attempt ing to give nt original vertdnn of the constitution of the United Stutes. In view of the fact that an American two-cent .stamp will today carry a let ter ll.ooo miles, It Is Interesting to re catl that by the terms of tho first American postal law. which went Intu effect .Tunc 1, 17Di, it cost 6 cents to send a letter less than thirty miles, and 23 cents to send It more thun ISO miles, the charges for Intermedial) distances being In proportion. The pally that thrives on labor strikes and business failures Is naturul ly opposed to the prosperity produced by a protective turlft and n stable cur rency.

Recently be had occasion to go to Toronto, and while in the Canadian city the Canadian Pacific curs were load ed on the great ferr boats preparatory to crossing over to the states, the owner went forward to the baggage ear to s.o his dog and to comment upon bis virtues to tho party of trainmen tint! passengers that were ndinliinif I. tin. One of Uncle Sam's customs officers al ways boards the ferry boat on the other side so as to facilitate the work of In spection when the train arrives. The In spector on this particular ferry was him self a lover of dogs, and he patted the bead of the setter familiarly as be made a complimentary remark about it. "You'ro right there, my friend," said the proud owner. "He Is n. beautiful dog, and no mistake about II." "1 suppose yon value him highly?" as-ked the ofllct r. In an indifferent man ner. "Well, It would tako considerablo of the 'long green' to buy him from me," was tho boasting reply. "Well, I'tl advlfe you not to set too high a price oa any dog," hinted tho of ficer. "Say, man. don't you think that he Is a cur! If you tin. you are greatly mis taken. This dog Is a thoroughbred and Is worth $s) of any man's money." The nflK-er said no more, but when the ferry arrived at the American slips tho man with tho dog was it-quested to step into tho customs olilce with the setter. Tin re they charged him 20 per cent ad valorem duty, ami the value of tho dog was taken at tho boasting man's own figure. Of course he swore und stormed for ii lime ami threatened to report every ollltial to the Tie.isury department for piesiunptlon. but when lie was through he paid the duly asked and led away his e.inlne with the utilization that bis boast lug. rather than his dog, had cost 1)1 n ) exactly $10.- Detroit i'ree Press.
