conRC'vlth'e all 11 1'lote statesman-

which lits lee the people , lS 1 whole ,

of this state of things Is not far oft ,
hit still the future Is uncertain Ill
even tile most optmIstc cannot feel
C1tIFel3' \ sure that the cloudf of depres-
.
slon wIll bo dh.slplted its Hoon as could
he wished. Under such crclnstlnces
the frst requirement Is to observe
lllmlent ) ecouomy In all pUblc eXhOlldl-
tlres , to nio 'cud that taxation , always
burdensome , and especIally . .so It such
tmes 125 the present , shall not be II-
creased , but If Ilosslhlc , reduced. There
Is hardly n state iu which .t Is not
practicable to cm'tl exjellses wIthout -
out ImpairIng ; the Public service and no
legislator who Is unwIllIng to do this Is
1 friend of the pcople's intercsts. I Is
UIucstonablo that , taking all the
states together , many millions of dollrs
are annually wasted , the savIng oC I

One of the most Important matters
to which the attentIon of the state leglR-
luturcs should be dIrected Is i that of
legislatIon for the suppression of trusts
nud coinbliiatloiis. BXI1rlence has
.
' - lelnonstrated that not much

All this talk about retaliatIon In trade between -
tween SpaIn and the United Slates Is a
tempest In a teapot. Our Spanish trade Is
maInly with the West Indian dependencies
and especIally Cuba , and Cuba Is one
country above all others whose exports cannot -
not be seriously nrfected by our tariff. 'Ve
need Cuban sugar and must have It , and
we pay the duty on It. 'Ve send Cuba
flour and other products In retnrn. ns long
as we can furnIsh them cheaply. Ot course ,
the Importation of Cuban sugar has been
temporarily InterUItel for obvious reasons -
sons , and the export trade with Cull has :
declined In a corresponding mensure. But
we shall begin ImportIng again when the
rresent stock Is exhnuRted and then Cuba
will alee our flour. The Spaniards ought
to have sense enough to understand this and
so ought the people who are talking about
retaliation and other rubbish.
