tract at $50, another at $50. and smother al
$50 per acre, according to actual or ap-

REPRESENTATION AFTER NEXT
CENSUS.

It is certain that the ratio of repre-
sentation in congress will be material
ly changed by the next census. The
south will have half dozen or more
additional members of the house.
while the north will be entitled to 6f.
ty or sixty new members, mostly from
the north west.
Senator Matt Carpenter says "thst
the next census will materially alter
the relative sectional strength of the
two parties represented in the house
-conceding of course, that the two
parties are sectional, as they really
are, and as they are likely to be for
some time" It remains to be seen,
however, whether the next census will
not eventually result in the breaking
down of the sectional feeling. especi-
ally as the bulk of increase in repre-.
sentation viii come to the northwest,
where there il o liberal tendency in

The New Land Appraisement.

We trust that the incoming Legislature
will, early in the session, pass an act per-
'csibing some rule for the guidance Of the
land appraisers in making q revaluation
of real essste for taxation. In hundred and
thousands Of Instances the appraIsement
made ten years ago is IN the hishes, de-
gree uneaqusl, unjust and oppressive, even
after all the labors Of city, county and
State Boards OF Equalization. What assu.
rance have we that the same will not be she

Her are 1900 or ] 500 men each acting
on his individual judgment, and In many
inssance- thss judsmen. will be influenced
BY the surroundings and desire TO shield
the officers locality from being overtaxed.
II is fact kcown 70 all, at least TO every
man who has given the snbject proper A.
sention, that no regard is paid to the con.
ssitusional and statute provisions that "all
property shall be appraised for taxation
according TO its true value IN money" No
such rule is observed With respect to either
real estate or chastls property. All, or
nearly oil appraisers and ASSESSORS assume
that certain deductions ought, in equity, to

more than likely that their estimates will

per cent. Heach is required to make his
apprsisement independent OF. or without

more than thousand different rules for
aseertaining the value of property in the
State upon which State and county taxes
are ievied.
Suppore. for example. that Franklin

redemption of their paper money un-
der the present system in case they
should want it. In short, unless the
system provides for the convenient as
well as prompt and possible redemp-
tion OF its paper money under the pres
ent system in case they should want il.
In short, unle the sem provides
for the convenient as well as prompt
and possible redemption of its paper
money it amounts to no redemption
at all. There would of necessity have
to be sub-treasuries ertablished
throughout the country. each Of which
would be compelled to have upon re
serve sufficient amount of coin to
meet any possible demand. 1t would
require a constant shipment and re-
shipment of coin from one place to
another, to anticipate the movement
OF the paper money.
1t is hardly necessary however to
discuss this proposition, for there is
little prospect of a resort to paper
money based upon coin.
The matter has really settled down
to a choice between national bank
notes and greenbacks. 1t is the pur-
pose declared by Comptroller Knox,
Geo. A. Coe, an eminent New York
banker, as well as most of the:leading
papers of the country to destroy either
the one or the other. And it is alto
gether likely that during the coming
session of ofCongress you will see move.
ment inaugurated to retire the green
backs and leave the entire privilege Of
issuing money to the national bank
corporations. In which case the bust.
ness community will bedriven to the
alternative ofaccepting national bank
currency or none at all.
We take it for gaanted that you un-
derstand that national bank notes cost
the people ninety per cent. of the in
terest upon the bonds which are depos.
tied by the national bank corporations
and therefore as between 500, 0OO, 600
of national band notes or 500, ,00O, 600
of greenbacks there would be cost Of
not less than $40, 900, 900 or $25, ,0Oo,- :
900 per annum, over and above all that
they pay to the government by way Of
taxes.
Isit worth while to substitute green
backs for national bank notes and
have s700, 900, 900 of greenbacks and
save s25. .ooo, 900 Ia year.
Or. shall national bank notes be sub
stituted for greenbacks and have $780,
600, 900 of national bank notes and add
$25, 900, 900 to the present burden Of

FOR BUSINESS MEN.

want a quiet little talk. We ask for
the sake of your own business interests
that for q few minutes you give US q
patient and candid hearing.
We take it for granted that you are
prejudiced against the ideas advocated
by Greenbackers. That is why we
have requested friend of yours to
hand or send you this srticle that you
are now reading. This is why we
have requested q mutual friend to
bring us face to face for few minutes
in order that we may reason together.
The question that we want to dis
cuss with you is this:
What kind of money shall the peo-
pie Of this country usef
This you win admit is prrctical
question. You know that it is impos-
sible TO do business without some kind
of money. We shall not discuss with
you the quantity of money. but the
kind. We shall not on this occasion
argue with you whether we have too
much or too little.
The only question is, what kind?
Within the last half century there
has been in use in this country four
kinds:
Coin money.
Paper money based upon coin.
National hank notes.
Greenbacks.
We take it for granted that you
will not contend for single moment
that we can do the business of the
country with coin exclusively. You
can not name single Eve years with
in the last City when any thing ap-
preaching an exclusive coin currency
has been in use.
The financial history of the country
shows that some kind of paper curren-
oy has always been the medium of
exchange.
OF this we have had three kinds, as
stated above. Which of the three do
you want to adopt
Do you want paper money based on
coinf
Ifso. let US destroy national bank
notes and greenbaoks and use paper
money based upon coin.
The first question to decide Is, how
many paper dollars are you going to
base upon dollar In coins
Are you going TO base one dollar or
more. and who is going to issue the
paper dollars'
Are private individuals and eorpo-
rations going to do it. or is the gov
eminent (state or natiOnaD going to
do III
These are questions that must be
settled. There is no escape from it.
If you cay let private corporations
do 1t. then you merely re-instate the
old system Of wild cat" money which
was In use before the war.
If you say that the government
shall do it, then you are forcing the
government into the banking business
and are subjecting the business inter-
ssts TO the fluctuations of values. peri
DDS of inAations and contraction, with
al their attendant evils.
For instance. If the government is-
sues the paper money based upon coin,
redeemabls in coin st the pleasure of
the holder. It must open sub-treasuries
in all important cities for the accom-
mediation Of the business community.
To establish only one place. ~ at pres
ant, in q country - extensive n this,

ulous farce. It would be an absolute
impossibility for the people to obtain
