C. Thuesdat f-vEsmra, Dec. 9, 1886. EVENING EDITION. BEPOSTOF SECBETABY OF TBEASCBY. - - - The annual report of Secretary Manning is able " and thorough. There is no discounting his ability, howe ver much you may object to his views His views on the silver ques tion are not acceptable to the Demo crats' in the West and South. The same thing may be said of many Western Republicans. The views of Mr. Manning andj the President are the views of Wall Street and the bondholders. The Secretary's views on revenue and taxation will make an impression upon the country if not upon the Congress. .The most important of all questions to an American free man, next to the maintenance and preservation of civil and religious liberty, is the question, of taxation how to raise the revenues needed to carry on the Government. It is a far reaching and eternal question, and ; - lasts, as . longa3 Government. So it becomes all taxpayers" to con sider -it fairly, intelligently and wisely.

I . -:-A From his report you may also learn of what the treasure of the Govern ment consists. For the year ending 30th June, 1886, the net receipts were $336,459;727, and. the net ex penditures were $242,483,138. The excess of revenue over expenditures was $93,956,589. The receipts were $12J749,020 greater than for the pre ceding year, and expenditures" were $17,746,796 less (which is encourage inp-) thus making the increase over 1885 of $30,492,817. V ' -' 1 1 The following summary is worth attention: - - . . ' - . " . "The receipts on account of the Post office Department, not included in the above statement, amounted to f 52,997,185, an increase of $5,687,899 over those of the preceding years, the expenditures increased from $50,326,314 in 1885, to $50,683,585 in 1886, or $256,271. Bonds of the United States amounting to $44,531,859 were re deemed and applied to the sinking fund. Coupons from bonds of - the .United States amounting to $2,557,412 were paid by the Assistant Treasurer. Interest amounting to $42,498,678 was paid on registered bonds of the United States .including bands issued to the various Pacific railroad companies. Coupons from 885 per cent bonds of the District of Columbia amounted to $105,441,' were paid and registered, interest amount ing to $416,448 of bonds held by the Treas urer of the United "States interest: for : na tional banks; $61,042,400 were withdrawn, of which amount $53,925,300 was held to secure circulation and $4,117,100 was held as security for deposits of public moneys. The bonds deposited to replace those with drawn on account of circulation amounted to $20,754,900, and on account of deposits to $6,170,000, making a total decrease or $34,117,500 in the bonds held by the Treas urer for national banks. The total move ment of bonds held for national banks was $87,967,300. , ; i '.'The issue of silver certificates during the year amounted to $4,600,000 and $23, 523,971 were redeemed. Gold certificates amounting to $10,183,895 were redeemed. The unavailable funds of the treasury, June 30, 1886, were $29,521,379, a decrease of $3,946 from last year. The balance in the treasury at the close of the year ending Sept. 30.188&r was $100,155,775, an in crease over that' of 1885 of $16,815,636. The available balance was $72,613,141, against $18,922,191 last year, an increase of $13,990,949. The Treasurer says that by the present method the entire debt will be retired by the year 1908. If the proposed method be adopted the debt will be extin guished by the year 1913. Under the old system the sinking fund changes for 1887 . would ba $49,843,728, under the proposed method they would be $37,436,458, or $12. 407,270 less. Any reduction of the public debt in excess of the annual requirements of the sinking fund , will, of . course, the Treasurer says, hasten the period of , its total extinction. s ; v - "The total amount of United States notes outstanding at the -close of the fiscal year was$ 346,681,016.'

"A great majority of the people of this country prefer to pay" voluntary taxes on what they drink and smoke for the support of the Government rather tbaa compulsory, taxes on . the necessaries of the . family which the' tariff extorts from them, and which go, for the most part, into private pockets instead of into the public Treas ury. If it be imagined, that the taxes on drink and smoke are unpopular, let Con-. grees undertake to repeal them as an alter-, native to reducing the - tariff, j : Much is" said of the inquisitorial methods of the in ternal revenue system, but the complaints concerning the methods come mostly from those who violate the law. There is no doubt that the distillers of apple-jack would be satisfied with a reduction of the tax on their product to 50 cents a gallon in spite of tne odious character of the system. But if it were right to make this discrimi nation between spirits from fruit and spirits from grain it could not be done withoot inviting extensive frauds upon the re ve BUt8." ,, .- . . ;.; i Miss Murfree, in her last excellent novel, "In the Clouds," writes of Va rayonnant heralding halo.!

' . ; C URR EN T COMMEN T. I --- There is now a gay 'contro versy, going on between Editor Wat terson, of Kentucky, who has just returned from a continental tour,and Editor Daw8hammer, of New York, who is the self appointed champion of Mr. Cleveland. There seems to be a coolness in the columns of the Courier Journal ; toward the civil service policy of the President, and the New York Star makes; this fact the basis of some remarks which, in their ' spirit and 'essence, arc similar to the Star's' report of an interview with Julian Hawthorne. . They are grossly and indecently personal. ' The Constitution has nothing to do with the controversy between Editor ,Wat-; terson and Editor Da wshammer, but it feels that Mr. Cleveland .ought to be spared . the .humiliation of such defenses as the Star, offers. Out nn- derstanding is that the t Courier- i -j- 7 a ' 3' . .

The report of the Bureau- of Statistics in the Treasury '- Depart ment shows that the net revenues of the Government last year . amounted to -:. $326,439,727, which, reckoned upon a population of . 58,420,000, makes $5.75 per head. ' For a work ingman with a family of Jeight per sons this is a tax of $46 a. year out of his earnings. - This tax at least goes into the Treasury, but the shame of it is that the amount is largely in excess of the needs- of- government, as is seen by the big surplus accumu lated in the public Coffers. Besides this tax, there is ;the invisible rand mdirecty but no less certain tax thai the protective system takes from the earnings of the workingman and puts into the pockets of other. people.

Washicgtoo Special to New York Times. ,' As usual members of both Houses are not prepared, after obtaining only such an impression of the con tents of the ' Presidents message as could be gained from listening; to 4t a9it was read, to express opinions at length. -iTo- tbe-majority of the Dem ocrats it is plainly gratifying: jtbat the President has sooKen in tavor ; or Uriff reductioD); Jhile . there is aa much dissatisfaction withbia silver sueeestions as there was a year ago. To the -Republicans generally the I outspoken stand for a reduction of the taxes V is " apparently ' cause for, glee, but the rejoicings of men like Frye, Miller, and others-", of f the high "protection class "are coupled with statemen ts that indicate a great reliance upon ? Mr. Itandall to thwart the purposes of the Admin istration," if any hope is felt by , the friends of the President than an at tempt '.to 'reduce the tariff is to follow bis recommendations. "Tha fact that tho President would not draw back on the , tariff question- had become well known. It was also generally believed that Secretary Manning .XSSwTOT jso one wno reads nis report win iau w uioiiuici tiuab uo uan uuus n.v i demands of the low tariff men.-' At the same time that he gratified the revenue reform class he gives them a bitter pill in his vigorons opposition to the continuation of forced silver coinage.- Mr. Sherman admits that the Presidents message- is Interest ing and. worthy of attefition; Mr. Beck is pleased with - his extended advocacy of lower taxes, but regrets that" he deemed it necessary to qual ify his own. recommendations - so guardedly. ' Mr. ; Cockrell declines to express lan opinion just yet, before he has read ' the message himsel f, but believes Missouri will applaud the recommendation for a re vision of the tariff. Mr. Frye does not approve either of the tariff views of the President or his repetition of last year for a commission to settle the fisheries disputes. : . Mr. Morgan of Alabama says that the tariff facts of the message will be as acceptable in the South as the silver opinions and suggestions will be distasteful. VMr. dabin ot Minnesota acknowledges that the. message , will appeal power fully to the agriculturists of" the Northwest and other sections,' while the financial views will be acceptable to the East. T Mr. Randall says noth ing except to protectionists, and he is understood from them .as being altogether put out with Mr. .Man ning. "Mr. Cox and Mr. Hewitt are, of course, in entire accord with the President; both on the tariff and sil ver views expressed. 5 Mr. Bland, speaking for the extreme silver men, accepts so much of the message as recommends lower taxation, but dis agrees with the reiterated opposition, to continued- coinage of the silver dollars. The Eastern Republicans generally t support . that : part of the message .whicj) the Western .Demo crats" object to," but criticise it all as lacking in honesty or directness of recommendation.
