TARIFF MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT McKINLEY
PLAIN, DIlilCF AN I) POINTIC).
Congross is Asked to Increaso th
Tariifl'iiimi(llately-Tli Conditior
4 of tbe Revenue Demands Prompi
Action.
Tho following messago from P1rcsi
dent McKinley was sent to Congret
upon its piuping :n
To tihe Congress of tho Unitod States:
Reo-gretting the nocessit.y which hit
required 11i0 to call you together, I feel
t hat your asembling in extraordinary
session Is indispensable because of the
condition in which wo find the revenues
of tho government. It is conceded
that, its current .oxpenditures are
greater than its rcoipts and that such
a condition has existed for now inore
than three years. With uniluited
means at our command, we are pre
scutiig the remarkable spectacle of
increasing our puolto- debt by boriow
ing loney to moot the ordinary out
lays incident upon even an economical
and prudent administration of the
government. An exatuination of the
subject discloses this fact in every
detail and leads incvitably to the con
clusion that the condition of the rov
onue which allows it is unjustitiable
and should be corrected.
We find by tihe reports of the Secre
tary of the Treasury that the reveu-s
for the fiscal year, ending Juno 30,
1892, f rom aWl surec 4 were $425,808,2J.
22,and the expenditures for all purpose.s
were $415,953,80 5(, l-aving an exues
of recuipts Over vX peniditures of *9,914,
453.6. During that fiscal year $10,570,
467.98 were paid upon the public debt,
which had been reduced since March
1, 1889, $250,o76,890, and the annual
interest charge decreased $11,t1,576.
60. The receipti of the government
from all sources, during the fiscal year,
endi ing ,liune :10, 1893, amounted to
$461,716.51, and its expenditures to
$159,371,887, showing an excess of rc
cecipts over e xpenditu res of $2,341,07-1.
Since that time the receipts of no
fiscal year, and with but few excep
tions of no month of any fiscal year,
have exceeded the expenditures. The
reccipts of the government from all
sources, during the fiscal year, ending
June 30, 1 84, were $372,802,4198, and its
expenditures $ll2,005.758, leaving a
delicit, the fitst siuco the reumption of
specio payments. of 't69,803,2i0. Not
vithstanding there was a decrease of
$1 (;,7 69. 128 in the ordinary expenses of
the government as compared with the
previous 'liscal year, its income was
still not sullicient to provide for its
daily necessities, and the gold reserve
in the treasury for the redemption of
greenbacks was drawn upon to mcet
them. Butdhhis did not sutice, and
the government, then resorted to loans
to replenish the reserve.
In lebruiry, IS911,*50 000,000 in bonds
were issuei, a d in Novembher follow
ing a sceond issue of $50,000,000 wab
deemd necess3ary. T1he sum of $1li,
171,795 was realized by the sale of
these bonds, but the reserve wasstead
ily decreased until, on February 8,
189.5, a third sale of $62,3 15,400 in bonds
far *G,5116,24-1 was announced to Con
gress.
The receipts of tile government for
the fical yer ending June 30, 1895,
wer $390,:173 203, and the expenditures
$43:,, 78,120, showing a deficit of $42,
805,22:.
A further loan of $100,000,000 was no
gotiate-d by the government in l0'ebru
ary, 1896, the sale netting $111,10,216,
and swelling the aggregate of bonds
issuied within three years to $2(;2.3l5,
It0). For the fiscal year ending Julne 30,
.891;, the revenues of the governmnent
fromu all sources amouinted to $109, 175,
-11)8, wvhinle its expenditures wvere
$131 ,(78,(;5 I, or an1 ecess of ex penidi.
tures over receipts of $25,203,2-I5. In
other words, the total receiplts for the
three fiscal years, entding Juino 30.
I189fi, were lisufllcient by $137,811,729
to meet tho total expenditures.
Nor has this cond(1ition since 1imp~rov
ed. F'or the~ fi rst half of tihe present
fiscal year, the ree ipts of the govern
ment1, exclusIve oif postal revenues,
were *157,5t07.t;03, and0 its ex lpend ituires
exdusive of posta1l service $195,410,000,
or 'an excess of expenditures over re
clplts (if $37,902,39(i. in .1lanuary of

lowest of any year sice I1802, to $31,

It may be urged tihat even if the

Woman's lights ai Wronigs.
I like to work when I feel like it,
but my wife likes for ie to work when
she feelk like it, and s,) between tho
two I have to work nearly all the time.
Yesterday I was gruntinr around with
rheumatism, but she took a notion
that it was a good day to take the ve
randali trellis down and clean away all
the old dead vines, and thought it
would help t me to get warmed up by
exercise-and it did. She knows-she
has heard me try to play ofT on gripp
atd rheumatics before-you can't fool
tho woman you have been living with
fortL-eight years-so I got the ladder
and climbed u) to the top and cut
away the tangled web and trimmed
the running rosovines and the wisteria
and Virginia creeper and then tore
a-ay the old caneq and cleaned up all
the trash and burned it. 1' was a big
jl)b for the verandah Is fifty feet long
and I had to move the old rickety lad
detr a dozz-n times-soveral times I
got sorter 'dizzy.and liked to have
fatlen, but my folks don't believe I am
as old as I atm, and they never will be
lieve it untl 1 break my arm, or my
leg, or my neck. Then I reckon they
will be sorry.
A man never grows old to his own
fainily ; no man is a hero to his own
servant. The servant knows hi m too
well, and just so my wife won't admit
that I am too old to be useful, and she
keeps me trott ing around. She gives me
)recepts and examples, for she is never
idlen-makes up tho bed, cleans up her
room, Puts out the washing and dis
tributes it when it comes in, monds my
clothes, darns my stockings, sows on
the missing buttons, hides my best
panIts to keep ie from working in
them and scolds ie ever and anon
about amy carelessness. She keeps on
making little garments for the grand
children and still finds time to boss me
in the flower garden and go to the
mn issionary meeting, and writs letters
to the boys. She never reads until
almost bedtime, but next morning can
tell us all the news worth knowing,
and has her Opinions about Cleveland
aind MeKinlty and Lyman Abbott and
Dr. Broughton and female suffrage. I
read to her the repent vote in parlia
ment about that and asked hem' what
she thought of it. " Well," said she,
" I don't care to vote, of course 1 don't,
but if female su1ffrage will lessen
female ' suflerage.' I hope it will pass.
tt makes my heart bleed to read about
these heartless men deceiving and be
traying foolish young girls who trusted
then---what a pitiful scene it was
that ruined girl following that man
and his bride into tle parior cars in
Atlanta, and in her presence upbraid
ing him with his infamy. And just
look around all over this country at
the young married Women who have
been abandoned by their unprincipled
husbands, and now have to work and
toil and almost beg for a living for
themselves and their litlte ones. If a
jury of women (could try these deceiv
ers and these faithless 1s1banlds they
would be sent to the chaingang, where
they belong. If a young man embezh'
zies seine rich mann's money and( runms
away, thte judge and the gr'and1 jury
and the newsp~aper's make an aw ful fuss
about it and send telegrams all over
the c:amntry to catch him, but if he
ruins a woman and breaks hter heart
and makes a wreck of her life it is
hushed up and nothing is (lone. I amU
not a wvoman's-irighits woman. She hais
rights enough, but there ought to be
sonmc way of avenging her wrongs."
T1hat is a fact, anld my opinion is
that her wvrongs never' will be avenged
until she is niot only empowered to
vote, but also to hold ollice in school
rooms and in'the government of the
towns and villages. The age of gal
lantry and chivalry toward wvomen has
passedC. ThIiis is the unfeeling ago, and
woman has to shift f~r herself. Thitt y
years ago she worked at sevetten
occupations, and now at 130, and gets
ab iout hal f piriee for' her' labor-half

marriages were declared illegal about
forty years ago, ani-. now it is a crimo

to the ceremony. But, here anybody
can run away with anybody's daughter
and be married by anybody in any sort,

MISSE1D A CROWN.
An literesting Chapter o' South
Carolina History.
Bloston Education Magazine.
South Carolina has had one pr'omi
nent man of whom it may be said, "Ile
missed a crown." An account of him
and his family forms a chapter of in
terest In the annalh of the historic ['al
mfeLnO State.
The Middletons are not only one of
the most distinguished, but also one of
the oldest. of the Carolina families. An
account of them and their estates reads
almost like the history of some noble
family of EIngland. Before the English
had been permanently settled in the
colony a dozen years, we find Edward
Midddleton a mnember of the collicil
under the Lords 1'roprietors. H1e was
horn in lngland and inherited a large
property. IIis son, Arthur iMiddleton.
headed the revolution which threw of
the rule of the Lords I lroprieto's and
placed the province directly under the
protection of the l'nplish crown, Ile
was afterwards Governor of the prov
ince. Henry Middleton, son of Arthur,
was president. of the Continental Con
ress in 1775.
The most famous of the Middletons
was Arthur, who was a signer of the
Declaration of Independence. le was
he son of Henry (just mentionea), and
vas born at the family seat in 174:.
le received his education in England.
In 177) lie took the fie'd in defense of
Dliarleston, and the following year h
was made a prisoner, but was after
wvards3 exchanged. At one time during
1he revolution he declined the Govern
Wslip of hIs St to. H lied in I 77.
lis home, the Middleton Place (which
was in the low country of South Caro
lina) has been destroyed, but the fol
owing "pen picture" of the grounds,
oublished in 188, will give the readcr
in idea of what a line place it must
have been:
"The od gates with their mIssive
pilhars stand intact, but of the home
stead itself only the chimneysand parts
.f the walls remain. At Middleton
'lace, an Englishman would feel at
home evel to-dav. Many of the old
ktrraces and hedges remain as they
were a century ago, and the am ple
grounds, which tre tolerably well kept,
have a decidedly English air. This
place is still i. po-scession of the Mid
dleton family."
DuLrintr the present century this
family hus furnished one gover-nor to
Sou th Cr ton a; that wa1- lien ry MI id
dlieton . son oif the '"'i gner :" he tilled
the ollie' I18It 12, after which he served
in Cong r'ss, and wats al-o, for iseveral
years, minister to ltussia. When a
young man, lie traveled a good (deal in
IEurlopo, ando fot' some time11 during the
French revel ution was in lera'nce, IIis
deoath occur'red in 18 hi.
Governor idd(((leton and the late
Goy. lienjamin I". l'erriy were both
miemnbers of the Un ion party duiiring the
stirrintg timeils of null11 icetion, ando GJov
er'nor l.err'y, in lhis dielightful '' ltem i
niscences" (which can well he reaid
with pleaLsure and prohi t by many others
besides South Carolinians), has gIven
us a pleasant sketch (of Governor Mid
dleton, with whtom lie was wvell ac
rjuainted. A mong other' things he
'"Gover'nor MIid dleton told mie th~at
