WHAT We DID N NEW YoRs

TIE most foolish thing in all the
controversy concerning the mortgage
tax Law is the threat openly made by
those who lend, that they will with
draw their capital from the state unless
the law is repealed. OF unless assessors
assess mortgages at less than their
value. This threat has very materi-
ally weakened the case Of those who
oppose the law, as the people of a
commonwealth will never submit to
such intimidation OF dictaiion. Laws
ip Oregon are supposed to be enacted
or repealed from other motives than
threats. The assumption that this
mortgage law discriminates against
money is simply twaddle and bosh, and
can emanate only from the brain of
him who opposes the law, If real
estate is assessed lower in proportion
than mortgages, then the true and only
safe remedy is for assessors to raise the
assessment on lands and not lower it
on mortgages. IL tae present taxation
laws of the state are duly enforced,
taxation will be as nearly equal as it is
possible to get it. As we have before
said, if the inequality complained of
really exists, then it is patent upon its
face that the fault is not IN the law,
but in the manner Of its enforcement.
We have no hesitation in saying that
capital should be treated fairly, and
placed upon that equality provided for
both in the organic and statute law of
the land, and if the present law fails to
do that then let the law be amended !.
The statement that men are talking
and laughing about "cinching" the
money lender through the operation Of
the mortgage law evidently was born
in mind highly imaginative. The
real friends Of the mortgage law would
frown upon all such, because it was
their opposition to all "cinching' that
induced the passage of that law.

who had never studied arithmetic be-
fore, worked in addition, subtraction
and multiplication to the surprise OF
their parents, and others present, who
knew where they were when
they started to school. The
advanced ones did quite well, placed
their work on the board in plain and

very little of long division when they
started to school did some of the hardest
examples in that branch, and they
proved their work to the satisfaction OF

A correspondent Of the New York
Sun calls attention to some revolution

the nomination of Mr.. Tilden for presi-

will heed them. The Sun makes the
Touring reply; OF course DIR. Tilden

They cannot fail to interest his mind.

IN the heats OF millions.
But what our correspondent means to
ask is whether Mr.. Tilden will heed

viii not except it. In 1880, when h'
was younger and stronger than he is
now, he declined to be tho democratic
candidate for President. The nomnina
ton was ready for him then as it is now.
The Convention would have been unani'
nous in the tender; but, for reasoni
which he expressed fully frankly, h'
refused and he refuses now.
That such is the case we regret mos
deeply. Would that this illustrious mar

his shoulders the burden of reforming

burden, and no one understands its Inn
portance better than he. But he has th'
right to say that ho cannot undertake il
That is what he says, and all those wh'
truly appreciate his service to the conn
try are bound to respect his decision
But with these blessed assurance
