Chandbtbi senator from the state of New Hamp- Ttieie has scarcely ever been a time In our history when tlie continued prosperity of our coun try depeadeJ so largely upon legislation In cougresi as now, for the reason that the dangers which at this time threaten the commercial and industrial interests of the people are the direct results of lawn which congress alone can modify of repeal. Justice Harlan said it had been held rep-utodly that the right of a state to regulate the xalu of liquor did not invade the constitutional rights of the citizen. It was conteiule I, bowevi-r, he said, that no state legislature had a right to prohibit any person fn.m manufacturing liquor for his own use or tor export, for the reason that it was an Invus.ou of the personal liberty inherent in citizens. It must be observed, however, he a-iid, that the right to manufacture drink fur one's own use is subject to the icstr.ctiou tiiat it shall not injuriously affect the public. The right to dotermine what was injurious had to exist somewhere, and the rifcbt of determining what measures are in cessary for the preservation of the public niO!. lCf health and safety had, therefore, lieen vested in the states by the constitut.onal right given them under the police power to regulatetheirown internal concerns. While ih.s police power could not be abused, and must ouly be exerciaod for objects of real merit, this court would certainly not say that the liquor traffio was not one which the itate could lawfully prohibit, because it was well known that the abuse of intoxicants was productive of pauperism and crime: The next ground of contention was that as the breweries had been erected prior to the passage of the prohibition law, and as ti.ey were of little use except for breweries, their property was taken withDut due process of law, in violation of the constitution. But all property under 3ur form of government, he held, is subject to the obligation that it shall no{ be used so as UD injuriously affect the right* of the community, and thereby become a nuisance. l'he state of Kanta* had a right to prohibit the liquor traffic; It did not thereby take iway the property of breweries; it simply abated a nWsance. The property is not taken away from it* owners; they are only prohibited from using it for a specific purpose, which the legislature declared to be injurious to the community.

It must be evident to every one who lias taken even a partial surrey of public affairs that the time has come when a revision of our revenue laws and a reduction of taxation are absolutely necessary in order to prevent a large and dangerous accumulation of money in the treasury. Whether this ought or ought not to have be n done before Is a question wbirh It would be useless now to discuss. It is sufficient for us to know that tue financial condition of the government and the private business of the people alike demand the prompt consideration of the subjects, and the siwedy enactment of some substantial measure of relief. tTufortuuately, wd are menaced by danger* from opposite directions. While a policy of non-action must inevitably result sooner or later in serious injury to the country,' we cannot be unmindful of the fact that ha«ty and inconsiderate legislation on subjects more or less affecting large financial and industrial interests might produce, temporarily at least, disturbances and embarrassments which a more prudent course would entirely avoid. Investments made and labor employed in the numerous and valuable Industries which have grown up under our present system of taxation ought nut to be rudely disturbed by sudden and radical changes in the policy to which they have a'justed themselves; but the just demaud of an overtaxed people aud the obvious requirements of the financial situation cannot be entirely ignored without seriously Imperilling much greater and more widely extended interests than any, that could possibly be injuriously affected by a moderate and a reasonable reduction of duties. No part of our people are more immediately or vitally Interested In the continuance of financial prosperity than those who labor for wages. Upon them and their families must always fall the most disastrous consequences of a monetary crisis, and they, too, are always the last to realize the benefit of a return to prosperous times. Their wages are always the first to tall when the crisis comes, and the last to bse when it passes away. Our effort should be to afford the necessary relief to all without iujury to the Interests of any, and therefore that course of legislation should be pursued which wi 1 guarantee the laboring people of the country against the paralyzing effects of a general and prolonged financial depression, and at the same time not interfere with their steady employmentor deprive them of any part of the just reward of thuir toil. If this can be done—and 1 believe K can. If our deliberations are conducted with the Wisdom and patriotism which the gravity of the flotation demaads—this congress will have cause to congratulate Itself on an achievement which promises peace and prosperity to the country for many years to oome. Tliesi remarks may be ooaaiderad somewhat Dut of th* usual course, and perhaps, not entirely pertiasat to the occasion, but I believe rou will ■xcuaa them, gentlemen, because tbey relate to Subjects which, as we assemble here to-day, are Uppermost in the minds of all the people.

Washington, Dec. 6.—The secretary of the treasury yesterday transmitted to congras* the estimates of appropriation required tor the fiscal year ending June 80, 1889. The total amount estimated as required for all expenses of the government is $326,580,708, which is $1,344,999 more than the sum called for in the estimates su mitted last year, and 116,899,406 more than the aggregate of appropriations for th1} present fiscal year. The estimates for 1889 are made up of the following items: Legislative, (3,272,111; executive, $18,852,735; judicial, $422,200; foreign intercourse, $1,947,865; military, $25,692,574; naval, $21,348,032; Indian affaire, $5,488,697; pensions, $76,312,400; public works, $30,081,- 984; postal service, $1,498,409; miscellaneous, $26,067,806; permanent annual appropriations, $115,640,708.
