TAXES, AND ESPECIALLY WITS.
EsY TAX.

Taxation is the one industry unaffected
by the hard times. 1t is not possible for
us all to Do assessors of taxes, or even
collectors thereof, and from those who
ara neither the complaint is general
that, though the bScl has become
weaker the burden remains the same.
Heretofore i. has been supposed that
at least Bankers aud Distillers
of Whisky, We're SO rich, and their
profits were so handsome, IS 10 make the
proprietors regard the payment
OF the tax imposed upon those
useful Industries as only pleasant past
time. Yet for sll their riches and profits,
those people are raising cry, familiar
to the ear OF the less-isvored citizen as
household word, that the tooth OF taxa
tion has grown too sharp TO be endured.
Banks are we'll taxed BY the national
Government, beyond doubt, whatever
may be said of their ability TO eysde
Just share of the local burdens. They arc
taxed not only upon their own wealth but
also upon the wealth Of others entrusted
in their ssfe-keeping. But, it was the
tax on whisky we started on. to talk
about. The present tax on this article is
90 cents q gallon. The dis.illers are
clamorous for reduction of so per cent.
SO far as we have observed, no consumer
of whisky has complained of the price
of drinks or has asked that the tax be
modified that his burdens may be light
ened. On the contrary, the best evidence
of the satisfaction with which the
consumer pays this tax that can
be furnished is found in the rapid
increase of the consumption. A few
weeks ago, we showed in an editorial in
the REaIsTKR, by an analysis of the re.
ports of the Commissioner of Internal

Revenue, the immense Increase in the
use of spirituous liquors during the past
year, in the face of the hard times and
the lack OF work. As the whole amount
of tax paid on each drink OF whisky Is
less than one cent, reduction in the tax
would probably not reduce the price to
the consumer particle. The only effect
would be, the loss to the Government oil
SIG, 100000 to $ls,OOO,0OO a year, and
the addition of that much to the profits
of the distiller and rectltier.
About the same may be said With
reference to the tax on tobacco. 1t is
better to leave the tax where it is than &c
make it up of of tea and coffee.

COST OF TRANSPORTATION ON
NARROw-GAgGE,A As COMPARED
WITH STANDARD GAUGE RAIL
ROADS.

An engine of two feet gauge, designed
by IN. FoRNEY, NJ. E., of Philadel-
mia, cor the Bellerica and Bedford road,
in Massachusetts, made during last week
daily trips of seventy-twO miles over the
rosd, with train weighing eleven and
one-half tons, with seating capacity Tor
one hundred passengers, and actually
carried that number on some OF the trips,
at total cost for fuel, waste and help OF
l3 cents per mile. The cost for similar
service on the Middlese1 Central, an ad-
Joining road, of standard gauge, was GO
cents per mile. The grades were all IN
favor of the latter road. Taking the
Illinois Central and the Lake Shore
roads, we find the average number OF
miles run per ton of coal, is 1896. These
are first class roads and we'll managed IN
every respect.
For the narrow gauge, we have on the
Bellerica and Bedford SO, and on the
Des Moines and Minnesota 92 miles per
ton of coal. Admitting these to be ex-
ceptlonally good runs, we can discount
them one-half and still have good mar
gin in favor of the narrow gauge.
For comparison of earnings we will
take the report of the Des Moines and
Fort Dodge Standard Gauge and the
Des Moines and Minnesota Narrow
Gauge Railroads. They both run north
from the city of Des Moinea, lows, and,
it is fair to presume, stand on an equal
footing IN purchasing supplies, hiring
labor, &c:

per mile in favor of the "little" road.
Both companies employed the same num-
Der OF train men and engineers, but the
narrow gauge ran one more train per
dsy than wss run on the standard gauge
road. "The difference is due entirely to
difference in gauge, as the Des Moines
and Fort Dodge road was carefully and
economically managed"
