Whither ,ir? we drifting? lt la true that New-York ts a great State; it is a grow? ing and prosperous State, lt is an rnl'ghtened and progressive State, and lt ls only natural to expeet that the expenses of government would increase; ?Sri a proper regard for the interests of tho people would suggest that the expenses of government should progress in something Uko the same ratio tis the growth of tho population. Hut such ls not tbs case. The cost of government has far out urippid the Increase or population The census of IV.VI showed the population of this State tO be ?."82.871: the last census, that of ISM, ShOWed a population of (.118.141 a gain of 2* per cent. The total appropriations for malnN-nanoo of the State government in 1W1 WSTa fg,8Tt,2H BS, and In !**> they were $3ri.02<i,o22 47 an increase, of nearly los per cent lt appears, therefore, that the expenses of government June Increased nearly four times rs fast as the population. It ls true'the tax rate has not increased at anything like this ratio, and for that reason the ordinary taxpayer bas not realized how greatly the expenses cf government are multiplying. The reason for this la that large amounts are being raised from Indirect sources. Last year fg.14JB.C10 H was collected from corpora* tions. IB.7M.4Sa1 from the collateral Inheritance and transfer tax. KSLatl M> from the organization tax and 0.M4.O14 9*. from excise, making a total of $Mrtrt.22* Ol raised from indirect sources. Real es? tate was relieved of the imrden of taxation to this extent, hut the fact ls that the money obtained from Indirect sources rame from the people and busi? ness Interest! of this State, just as much as the direct tax did. In other words, the people con? tributed, from on* source or another, the entire J3T,<?vh'i?? expended. CORPORATION TAXES COLLECTED. The amount of corporation tax collected by the Controller's Department during the last three fiscal years was as follows: 1?A4 . gt.Stl.8TS Sf 1806 . 1.8."7.343 2r. 1S08 . 2.105. RIO 12 During: this period of thtee years the number Of corporations brought under the opi ration of tho tax !sws was increased from lill to j.fl. and tho State's revenue was Increased moro than B09.M9. Th* effect is that rea] estate has been relieved of Just so much taxation. Daring the fiscal year ending September SO, 1S96, there tams collected under the Inheritance Tax law the sum of fd.7ll.4JU. For the. fiscal year end? ing September .io. fjas, the inheritance tax yielded 82.11**94 i?1 Few large estates, however, could be taxed in UM Mr. Roberts makes a suggestion re? garding the Inheritance tax which will undoubted? ly arouse wide popular discussion, and be debated at length In the legislature. His suggestion ls that the inheritance uw bs graded so us to weigh heaviest on the largest estates. He says: It occurs to me also that lt would be well for the Legislature to give very serious consideration to the question as to whether the collateral In? heritance (,r transfer tax laws should not be ma? terially amended so .i* to provide a graded scale thal will make Ung. estates yield very much more tax than they now do At present an estate go? ing to iine-ils ubat is. Neils of tho blood! pays 1 Jw-r cut. and one toing to collaterals and strangers to the blood pays ", pep cn'. All estates going to laicals, real and personal, miler 110,000, are exempt from taxation, and onlv the personal prop? erty of the llneala above gtS.000 ls taxable. Es? tates of less than 1500, r?al and personal, going to collaterals, ijre exempt, but both the realty and personalty of fhe collateral above $,',"10 are taxed. Bequests lo doss estie rind religious corporations and to bishops are exempt lt will be aeen from thi-; that a grading of the ti\ ls attempted in the present law. but lt ls a serioua question whether it does not fall far short of accomplishing thal which should be attained. If an estate of less than 210,000 should be exempt. Why should nit one millions greater pay a higher rate than a ttO.000 estate? A large estate would certainly be lesa burdened by the payment of s higher rate than a small estste would bs by tho pHvment of a lesser one. 'ihe principal burden of the inheritance tex falls upon personal property. No class cf property ls better entitled to bear this kind of a tax than is personal As a rule. \\ escapes taxation during the life ?>f the owner.

He draws attention to the striking difference In the per capita cost of maintaining the various in tttfuttons. He says there is a tendency among the managers of charitable institutions of late years largely to increase the wage* and salary lists and rxpenses of management, and that "this tendency las continued, with no sign of abatement.''

OPINION TN WASHINGTON SEEMS TO PE THAT TOO MANY DIFFICt LTIF.9 STAND IN THE WAT FOR ANT lUlAMMUL NEGOTIA? TIONS TO RBSJULT. TBT TELEonAPH TO THE TRIBUNE] "Washington. Jan. SI- That the leaders of the Liberal party of Canada, which has recently regained control of the Dominion C.overnment. ore exceedingly anxious to establish closer and more satisfactory commercial relations between Cannda and the United stntcs ls a fact that is well understood hy statesmen In Congress. The Litter also clearly perceive the difficulties which are In Hie way, and which it is not In the power of the Liberal Government to remove without radical change* In 'he commercial poi ii y of Qi-eat Hritain, which dominates and con? trols that of Canada Judging from replies to Inquiries made among members of the C munlttee on Ways and Means and other prominent and influential members <f the House of Representatives by a Tribune correspondent, the difficulties referred to arr regarded as not only fnrnildal.le. hut Insur? mountable by the majority of them, and Mr. Charlton, the Liberal member of the Dominion Parliament, from one of the Ontario districts, who has been in Washington for several weeks joist as an unofficial representative of the Lib? eral Government, cannot have found the pros pert an encouraging urie. Of course, he realizes that it would be absurd to attempt to negotiate a reciprocity treaty on such ft basis as that of the 'Rip-handled'' Marcy-Elgin arrangement of 1854, which covered only the natural products Of the United Stat's and Canada. American statesmen have not j Pt forgotten how Canada profited at Hip expense of the United States by that treaty, and memories of the Halifax Award still rankle in their bosoms The exasperating and unneighborly policy of the Dominion Gov? ernment in renard lo the fisheries question, which policy has been uniformly sustained bv (Jreal Hritain. has also awakened feelings of Jual indignation and resentment, which ll will require time and something more tanglidp than the pledges of even i Liberal Dominion Govern? ment lo eradicate. It ls true Hint Mr. Charlton gays, ?iif"l no doubt says with sincerity, thal the Liberals deeply deprecate that policy and will reverse it. In reply to this declaration, a lending mem? ber of the Ways and Means Committee said: "Very well. Lets wail until the Canadian Gov ernment brines fnrth fruit meet for repentance, or ls allowed to do so by "'rent Britain. Noi many weeks ano sn American fishing vessel was seized in Canadian waters by a Canadian i raiser, because her master had furnished a supply of fond to aunt hu- American fishing ves? sel, in a half-wrecked and disabled condition, whose new wire on tho verge of Starvation. It will do no harm to wait." The suggestion, or intimation, that as a part of the consideration for a reciprocal commercial treaty, or arrangement, Canada will reverse her fishery policy, which has I.D BO hostile and injurious to the Interests of American lisher men, is by no means favorably received by Am. rican statesmen, sum.' of whom bluntly say that its acceptance would be a formal admis? sion that the Canadians had had a right to pur sue a policy ami guppori practices "such as were common anning the Hat harv pirates a hun? dred \ chis ago." In conversation with a Tribune correspondenl on the subject "f the overtures tTiat may prob? ably be expected on behalf of the DominLm Government, chairman Dingley, of the Commit? tee "ii Ways and Means, said: "Mr. Charlton J has been tn see me, and w?> ha\e Informally dla eusaed the question. As l understood him. he had not ..on- to Washington as a representative of the Liberal Government, but simply with a view to ascertain, as ;i member <>t the Liberal majority in tie- Dominion Parliament, what is the attitude .if public sentiment here in regard to commercial reciprocity between tin- United Statis and Canada Of course, I could express only mj own views on that subject. That no arrangement like that .if is."i would be jios slble, or desirable, on tin- port of the United statis, he seemed clearly t" perceive and un? derstand. M) own view i-* that it would be, Impracticable t'i make any satisfactory treaty or arrangement for commercial reciprocity be tween th'- 1 nlted Statis and Canada, unless ?lii at Hritain should*give tim latter the pill liege of Imposing preferential duties in favor of cer? tain manufactures "f the United Siutes. Whether Great Britain would agree tn such a discrimination by one of her colonies*against her own manufacturers was a question which, of course, Mt. Charlton was not prepared to answer, and which the canadian Government itself would not be prepared to answer until authorised to do so by th.' British Government." Governor Dingley'! attention was then called to the list of manufactured sriicles mainly those which wire considered In the abortive ne? gotiations of 1*71 bet ween Secretary Fish and Sir Edward Thornton which Mr. charlton In a recent published Interview had suggested .-s a partial basis for s reciprocity agreement which Great Hritain would probably assent to. "Yes, I have ^.-.-n Ihe list." said Chairman Dingley. "Mo*i of Ihe manufactured articles mentioned are now freely exported from the United stairs to canada, ami our manufactur? ers virtually control the canadian mat kel. s i far as many of them ai<- concerned In none of them, so far as i have Investigated the matter, do mir manufacturers experience formidable competition from British manufacturers." "Mr Charlton also suggests," remarked the correspondenr. "thal Canada niicht he willing to admit com and cornmeal from the United States free of duly under a reciprocity arrange? ment." "Well. Canada ls obliged to have the corn, and cannot Kit lt from any other country so easllv or cheaply ns fr.un th" United Stales.'sn I should not regard that as an important or valuable ron* cession." observed Governor Dingley. "It is als.i suggested thal lb order'to establish closer and more satisfactory commercial rela? tion! with the United States. Canada stands nady to modify and relax her fishery laws and regulations, tn co-operate in carrying nut the project to improve ami deepen tim water chan? nel of communication through the Great Lakes and soon, in the Interest nf International comity. What do you think of that suggestion?" "Well, there ar* several ihinps that Can ida < mid have linne, and wisely done, In th,. Interest of International comlt) years sgo, without ask? ing* or expecting thc United Plates tn pay her for them. Hu- policy in regard tn the American fishery industry his been illiberal and unjust in the extreme, and the manner in which it has been carried out has not been calculated tn im? prove the relations between that country ."id the United Siat.s. tn say tic- least nf it. (if course, it is now said that the policy is tn be reversed and that all causes of just complaint are tn be removed. I sincerely hope that will be done, but it does nm non seem clear lo me why the United States should be expected lo pay for th" doing nf ii by the granting nf new commercial privi? leges '?> canada in fnct, a hm everything ls taker. Into consideration, it seems the reverse nf clear. The commercial policy nf the i'nited Slates in regard tn Canada has always been an ? \ eedingl) liberal one, In rlew "f all the ctr i umstancei For example, it has granted to her the \aiuaidc privilege "f shipping Knnds in bond through th- United Stut.s to Atlantic seaports, together with facilities without which Canada would be destitute .>f an Atlantic port of ship? ment durirtr the winier months The with? drawal of thal privilege would ne a severe blow t" Canada Among r- pr -tentatives from all the Stater, that tout il the canadian border the prevailing "pin? ion seems tr, te that lt would he impra. tj, gbl? to I negotiate ., rectprocltj treaty, w\\h the connon* of <;i u' Britain, which would be sotlsfscti | just to the United Stat's.
