Not In Need Of More Revenue

Washington, Jan. 28.- Tho papers presented to the houso to enable it to arrive at a conclusión regarding the differential on sugar consisted oí tho whole correspondence bctween this and the Germán government, tho pith of which on the part of the Germán government is that the prohibition of importation of our cattle into Germany is in no sense a retaliatory measure, but purely sanitary, resulting frora the discovery of Texas fever in American cattlc. In the course of the debate Wilson's position was that the differential was a violation of treaty provisions, while the questions asked by Republicans indicated that they took the view that it was not, and that Germany violated the favored nation clause when she gave an export bounty. Wilson soon branched off to the matter of revenues, declaring that the treasury did not need additional reven ue. At thl6 the Kepublicans jeered, and Wilson said that so far a9 revenues wero concerned the treasury was flush and in no danger of default. The tariff bill as originally passed by the house would under normal conditions have supplied sufficient roven ues, and that as it is we are moving steadily toward a surplus. Dingley and Hopkius of Illinois took issue with this and gave the figures of the delloit, which Wilson repudiated. He believed that Germany prohibited our cattle beeause we imposed an extra duty on her sugar, and Blair of New Hampshire said that Wilson alleged that Germany "carne here with a lie on her lips." The debate was continued until adjournment.
