The REVOLUTION IN RHODE lsLASp.-lt Is now
certain that there will be more beer than blood spiit
in Rhode Island. The numbe of fighters In that Ut
tie State has decreased so fast that all prospect OF a
bloody revolution are over. 1t appears that IN 1911
there were 1885 good " suffrage" fighting men,
fully bent on blood or ballot boxes. Last month
there were but 1868, and now, according TO the
votes poled last Monday, there are only BIOS. In
deed this is too bad, and the President ought Ger.
tainly to be impeached for spelling so nice a dish OF
fun and fermentation.

In this table we 6nd the revenue has fallen off fs,0o0,
600 or 10 per cent, while the population has increased
nearly 80 per cent. We must take into consideration.
however, that during the twenty years which have
elapsed Els, O00, 900 more duties have been repealed than
have been imposed. The case will tAen stand thus-the
average per head in 1921, was 2,la. At the same rate in
1910, the revenue should have been f7O. 7ss,OOe, whereas
they were only f4s,O 0 900, make o difference of f2a 700.
OO0-iffrom this we deduct the repealed duties, we have
a balance OF Ct, 745, 900 decrease in duty on articles con.
sumed, showing that tn masses of the people in ls4l en-
joyed an average Of IL per cent less Of the comforts
Of life than in 1921 notwithstanding which, the aggrs.
gate wealth was largely increased, as is evident from
the amount of capital SUBJECT to legacy duty. The con-
clusion then is that the wealth Of the kingdom has left
the hands of the great masses and %accumulat. d in those
of a few. The legacy duty seems to be a certain indica-
ton of the advancement of wealth, because people must
die and generally make wills. Other duties cen be
avoided by ceasing to consume. Let US now observe
the accumulation of property in another shape, whichis
that of the public securities, we shallIfnd that their mar.
ket value has nearly doubled in the hands of the pub
lie, while the value of labor has diminished in proper

French war in ! 794, the capital stock of the 3 per cen.
Consols was fls7, Gil ass. From that time to 1915, the
government borrowed largely at a rate Of interest equal
to &c per cent, but instead of creating a s per cent stock

And feel TINT in the book Of fame,
Proudly shall thy recorded name
In later days be read.
