PAPER MONEY IN RUSSIA.


What will the specie payment phil
osophers saw to this little fragment
which BY SOME STRANGE oversight,
made it's way into remote corner
among the war news of the new \ DIRK
Herald:
A CONVENIENT FINANCIAL POLICY.
Great stress is laid in foreign JOurn-
ais on Russia S finances, but the truth
is that her abandonment years ago OF
coin currency practically made her in
dependent in money matters. Any
thing that 'goverment says is money IS
money and except for exterior luXu-
ries the country fares as well on a pa
per basis as OH a gold one. For the
actual needs of the country to be de-
rived from abroad the government
has the coin needed. land the published
argument is that if the people want
foreign luxuries they must pay fancy
prices for them. Russia's products
supply all the necessaries OF life.
ANYTHING that we could say would
not add force to this compact and con-
elusive statement. If the chorus OF
dailies would only sing such a song as
that, would there be hard money hard
head on this Eastern seabOard! Let
us have a National Convention. We
want no gold. No complications with
silver, to entail dead interest and
dead loss upon us. Certificates OF
value are what the nation wants, and
if we come together we will soon ham
mer them out of the next congress-

always do, proposes to enforce it.
Lately he attached the buggy and
horses Of the agent of st. louis
house, and the question is now in
process Of litigation. Mr.. AycOck
is exactly right in endeavoring to
enforce this law. - 1t is NOT his place
to question the propriety or impro'
priety of the statute. IL the law is
a bad one, let the Legislature repeal
it. The collection of this license
tax naturally don't suit the drum
mer, nor does it suit the man who
makes money out of the drummer.
Still less does it please those indi.
vidnals who find in. irrational crit.
cism the only zcst of life. If the laws
of Louisiana impose license tax
upon drummcrs. let it be collected.
All the criticism of the course of the
collector in in this matter is idle talk :,
as is fully evidenced by the highly
absurd statement we heard used.
that other collectors hlre not tried
to collect such license, and why
should this one attempt to do so.

Tax on Drummers.

We extract from an article in the
Shreveport Times on drummers the
following paragraph, by way of
preface To our own discourse on the
above subject:
The tax assessors not only in our
city but throughout the State have
been industrious enough in looking
after our home merchants. In the
meantime, our tax collectors, as a
general thing, have been supincly
indifferent about the small army of
drummers who invade our city and
tue South, and on various preteNts
and fictlons enter the market in
competition with our home mcr.
chants. These drunmers are liable
to tax, which they ought but do
not pay into the treasury.
Mr. w. +. Aycock, Tax Collector
of Claiborne, endcavors to collect
license from drummers whenever
they visit this parish. He finds the

Statutes sent TO him for his guild
