China's Great Wall.
How IT LOOKED TO A NENTURESOME
AMERICAN WHO SCALED IT.

OF course we had to go to the great wall
of China. says Pekin correspondent.
China abounds in great walls. Her mural
defences were most extensive walled
country, walled cities, walled villages,
walled palaces and temples-wall after
wall and wall within wall. But the great
est of all is the great wall of China. which
crests the mountain range and crosses the
gorge from here some 40 miles away. To
60 to Pekin and not go out to the wall
would be objectionable. 1t matters not
that the Pekin wall is higher and wider,
nor that the way is cold and rough and
often perlious, you must 60 and see the
great wall.

Georgia Land aud Lumber com.
pany OF ST. Simon, began issuing
tcrlp In the shape Of bank paper, which
was used 10 pay of their hands and
other local indebtedness. This scrip was
also taken Ia their neigbborhood as cur
rency In payment for fefriago and mer-
chandise, and also in payment Of taxes In
Glynn county In 1884 Dodge,
Meigs & Co. succeeded 10 the
business Of the Georgia Land and
Lumber company, and continued the le-
suance OF the scrip. The collector, after
receiving notice Of this business, called
the attention Of the company TO The fact
that under his Interpretation Of
the law they we're liable 70 the
10 per cent. tax on bank circula'
ton. Upon his report 10 the depart
inent at Washington the commissioner
OF internal revenue holds that the
Dodge Meigs company shall pay $4,000
within the next ten days for the tax
due, and that suit VIII be insti.

Inc Free List TO be Enlarged and Foreign
Capital Encouraged.
CRY or MEXICO, Nov. 25-An import
ant bill has been framed and sent to con
gress by special commission a point
ed by the department OF public WORKS to-
consider the best remedy for overcoming
the evils resulting from the depreciating
# silver. The commission takes the
ground that tbs production OF silver must
be cheapened so as TO diminish the loss
in exchanging 1t fer foreign goods and
also favoTs giving new impetus to
agriculture by lowering the duty on Inn
plements for farming purposes, and
recommends that premiums be paid on
certain articles OF export. The bill ex-
empts from all taxation, federal, munich
pal or local, all coal and quicksilver
mines for term of nifty years, and also
limits all taxation on other mines to a
single tax never 10 exceed 2 per cent.
on the value Of the gross product. The
bill provides that no interior duties
can be placed by the states
ON mining productions, and reduction
works are to bear but single tax, not to
exceed SO per $1,000 on the value Of the
property and machinery. The bill en-
powers the president TO grant special
mining privileges for term Of ten years,
the capital so invested to be exempt
from Every ak but the stamp tax, The
list of articles to be exempted from all
duties embraces a score of articles inn
ported from the United States and Eng
| land, and the taxes on numerous other ar
ticles used In mining aud agriculture are
largely reduce d. The bill also awards
premiums on exports of silk, tobacco
fiber, medicinal plants, onyx and marble
also on rubber, osin, ums, etc. The
passage Of this bill now seems very prob
able. 1t will give powerful impetus tt
the already expanding national agricul
ture, aud stimulate investments OF forelgr
capital in mining.
