In the U.S., as the session of Congress approaches, the question of ways and means is bound to loom into greater and greater prominence. And whenever the project of increased preparation for war takes anything like definite shape, the problem of the wherewithal will of necessity become insistent. Some time ago, the notion that the Administration might favor a jacking-up of the tariff was put forward, without any particular authority, and possibly only as a feeler, but it soon appeared that there was little reason to expect anything of the kind, except as to retaining the present duties on sugar, instead of carrying out the programme of the Underwood act calling for their gradual extinction.
