TO PEOVTDE EBVEinra When the Republican Administra- tion goes out of power and turns over the Government to its Demo- cratic successor it will turn oer a Treasury practically empty. One of the first things that the new admin stratum must turn its attention to si ' - m . I will be to devise the ways and means fjr-secure revenue enough to meet -ahe current demands of the Govern ment. . With an estimated income of . about $400,000,00(Ht will require at least $50000,000 to meet the ex pfinaitures. This amount by retrench ment and rigid economy may be somewhat reduced, but it will be a year or more before there can be any material reduction. The apprbpria- - tions will be cut down when they can c be without detriment to the public ' service, but all the saving that may be thus made will be an insignificant reduction in the grand total of ex .ptnditures. ' '' ' . . There are two reforms which are imperative and which mustcdme J! -m . . "I una retorm ana pension n pension rciorui. The former of these, while it will re duce the burden of taxation on the people, will also Reduce the revenue ' . unless the tariff should be made so low as to encourage the importation of. foreign goods, which is notllikely to be done as the disposition will be to show due consideration to Ameri- - can inaustries and give them reason ' able protection, enough to protect ' tnem from thef competition of j cheap labor countries but not enough to be oppressive on American consumers. Pension reform. On the other hand. will reducetjje,expenses much! more, ijLjt ttelhe.Tight kind of reform, than larn retorm will reduce the revenue, - so -that what is lost in one way may I oe gained in the other.' j JBut. however this may be with tariff j-eform and pension reform, and - such retrenchment of expenses in other . respects as may be adopted, the new administration will be con- ronted by an empty Treasury, rwith demand for $500,000,000, orfa sum ul tar irora it, wnicn must come, na tor which provision must be ade. ' . - So far three ways have beep sug- ested to accomplish this. )ne is to nCrease the tax on whiske thirttr- five cents a gallon, make it $1.25 in , etcau vi u cents, as now. it is Estimated .thatthis would yield a Tuucr aoow iou,wu,uuu. . no one seems to be so anxious for this increase as the Whiskey T just and .uc irgc uistiiiers, wno control a Very- large percentage- of . trie spirits n stock, and who were thW (first tn espond to the suggestion, lifi they id not inspire it. While there is othmg that can better bear taxation than, whiskey, it Is very doubtful whether th increase in tai would yield as much revenue as is antici pated, forwhile the -quantity made lebuld be as large or larger, the amount returned for taxatioi would not be so large. The increase of thirtTfive cents a gallon might possi ioiy onset the amount not given in fcy the moonshiners, the adulterators, jand other'crooked dealers who would (be? tempted to defraud the Govern- iment where the chanclss for gam were sc0uch greater. Even wittj tbe tax at ninety cents a gallon the moon- clshiner plies his trade briskly dnd risks the penitentiary and sometimes his life for the profit to be made in beat ing the Government out of- ninety cents a gallon. It is a dimoralixing tax, demoralizing t not only to the men engiged in th business, but tcj the agents emDloved fen lt ing after t, of both of which we have ample testimony in therecordsot the Federal clourts, and on the rolls of the penitentiaries. J The-nekt suggestion is tc restore the tariff on sugar, and re ?eal the boanty now paid to sugar makers. This will be favored by the sugar planters and sugar beet, gro vers and beet sugar manufacturers who will be benefitted more by the tariff than tr,.. ...

If we cannot have free sugar in fact, then sugar should go on the dutiable list, and relieve the people of the $10,000,000 bounty that tbey will have to pay, if the present system be continued, and let the tariff they pay go into the Treasury, of the United States instead of into the coffers of the Sno-ar Trusts. ' - '. ; o . : j mar win m received wilg mo&r. dod- ular favor, is ; for k tax on incomes, . . r. f i ffom which a - large revenue could be raised which would t ome not out of the toilers. who sweat for a living, but out of the rich who can best af ford it. The sentiment in favor of this is growing,' and while it is called an "inquisitorial" tax, and : possibly I nay be, it is no more so than the in- I a asm a fn a-lVs tViA mnn av 1 . A come tax, of the money on hand tax, now in operation in some of, the States. All taxes are j more or less inquisitorial, and if .that were a valid objection it would operate with equal force against other features or taxation. Whatever may be thought of it in this respect there are few who will deny that it is one of the most equit able and least oppressive systems of taxation that can De devised, for it taxes the man who least feels and' can best afford it, and who derives the greatest benefit from the taxation imposed. - 1 i .
