jocts 3 for increasing tbo demands upon the t public treasury fail there must bo a , deficit unless great reductions are made iu i the present expenditures ft is therefore apparent that the outa look 1 for a reduction of taxes is far from reassuring , The pressure upon con1 gross I for the passage of the dependent pension bill will bo very great , and It is not probable that the almost unanimous . demand of the old soldiers for this leg islution will be refused Qut further than , this congress cannotgoon increns1 ing j expenditures without rendering imK)3sible 1 | any reduction in the revenues - nues > of the government The situation is ' very unpromising for any relief from the I burden of taxation which every year oppresses the pcoplo more heavily and ' grows steadily moro oIToctivo as a chock to enterprise nnd a barrier to nat tionnl progress and prosporitv SCHEMES TO MULTIPLY OFFICII The disposition in congress to increase the functions of the government is i shown by the fact that already bills i have been introduced providing for the i creation of seven now bureaus Tlicso i measures propose bureaus for prisons , i tariff statistics , appointments , public documents , information , harbors and 1 waterways , and the line arts The i I I | work of a prison bureau would bo to collect criminal statistics , examine i penal institutions , ascertain their various - ous methods , gnthor information about ciimo , and establish tcentral L olllco for Mio * identification of T criminals The idea , of a tariff statlsI tical bureau is to keep tariff laws on lllo and collect information as to their of- feet on the prosperity of the countries which have enacted thorn This bu- rcau would rocolvo and copsldor propo- 'sitious for the amendment of the tarill laws and roporl to the secretary of the i treasury It Would have a chief and four assistants at an nggrog.ito nnnual cost to the oublio of twonty-Hvo thousi and dollars , and a complement of f clerks costing probably as much or moro The purpose of the pro posed bureau ot appointments is to i classify the clorka in the departments , apportion them t.mong the congress districts of the sUtos , uud all nppoint- meats would bo made through this bu- roau The projoot of establishing bureaus - roaus of information in different parts of the country , ono for each two million i inhabitants , is a conception of the philanthropic Senator Blair , and is in tended to embark the goVernment in a bert of Intelligence olllco business Per sons in need of omploymotit or relief could apply to ttioso bureaus , whloh would bo required to keep posted as to such information ns would enable thorn to toll applicants of the cost of hv- ing , condition of tr.ido and similar • matters Ono of the duties of these in- stltiitlons would be to publish in the nowspnpors instnncos of extreme pover ty and distress and the needs of the debtituto with a vlow of calling the nt- tontion thereto of the charitably dis- I > osod The purpose of a bureau of pub lie dooumonts would bo to relieve con i- gressmen of the labor of distributing to their constituents bonks ana patnphletH , issued by the government , that of har- tbora und waterways to report necessary improvements and their cost , and would ho simply a consolidation of the brandies of the government now in charge of this work , ivhilo the objoet oot the propo > od bureau of line arts is to aid In their davolopmotit by proparmg r and distributing plans for buildings i , scasts of statuary , nnd other articles for the U80 ot schools und academies If alt these sohomos could carry , they vvould incrouso thuurmy of officeholders ! by from one to two thousand and the nnnual expanses ot the government by sfrom ono to two million dollars Hut while it is uot at all probable that any of thorn will bo adopted , oxoopt _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ possibly that of hnrbors nnd wntorwnys , which might have reot suits to the public benefit , the fact that such innovations nro snritil ously suggested in congress la worthy of attention as showing how strong the toiidoncy is tosndtllo the general govre ornmont with duties and responiibill- ties wholly foreign to its legitimate functions Whoii a senator proposes that the government shall assume the business of supplying Information to the unemployed regarding their chances ot securing employment , nnd furnish the public with instaucos of destitution requiring - quiring the aid of charity , through a general system of ititolllgonco olllccs , and another senator suggests that the government shall take upon itself the duty of promoting nrt culture among the people , It Is im possible | to Bay to what oxlromns of nb- surdity our so-called statosmdn may go , particularly if they nro unohockod by public opinion in consoqueuco ot the neglect of the pcoplo to glvo attention tc their wild schemes and ridiculous and extravagant projects * nnr.FiixsrntX's no ad agents If John P.
