Another deep, dark, diplomatic

The senate is in for an income tax.
An income tax is putting premium on
dishonesty. An income tax catches the
honest tax payer and let's the dishonest
tax payer, who does not scrupie to hide
his income by lying and fraudulent con-
cealment. go free. If the present law
cannot catch mortgages and notes, how
can an income tax law catch the interest
or income on mortgages and notes.
Bad enough as it is but things would be
worse under an income.tax law.-Wase-

The Minnesota legislature should
adopt the anti.free coinage resolution.
It will be worth something to the state
to show that it is sound on the money
question. Capital will feel that there
is one place IN the West where people
have sensible notions about finance and
be the more ready to make it's home
there. If the legislature will keep out
of the convention called by the Kansas
legislature TO advance the cranky no.
tions for which that state is becoming
famous, and kill off all the interest bills

tion, it will not have lived in vain. -

Certainly men are entitled to less
sympathy when suffering from the re-.
suit of their own unthrift or Incidence
than those who are victims of misfor-
fortune; and yet it is quite largely the
former class for whose benefit some of
our statesmen" are proposing that the
general government should lend money
az two per cent cent per annum and is.
sue money certificates ''upon deposit
of canned goods" Just now the leaven
of discomfort is sufficiently active
throughout the country without the en-
couragement given by the scheme of
demagogues and the sympathy Of mis-.
taken philanthropists. What Minnesota
and the whole country needs is not so
much an easy way Of getting money
and paying debts, as some means OF
producing habits Of industry, economy
and reliability among all the people.
All attempts to relieve men of their
burdens by shifting them onto the state
must inevitably result in greater de-
moralization. Men who are taken care
of by others are likely to be very slow
in taking care of themselves Sueur
News.
Some of our Democratic exchanges
are pleased To allude to reciprocity with
other nations as only another name for
free trade. While we are not of that
belief, we sincerely desire to second
every move of the nature Mr.. Blaine
advances for free interchange between.
certain nations where we are not SUBJ
jected to the competition of cheap
labor and poorly made goods. If foreign
commodities can be brought to our
shores-things that we consume duty
free, the same class of goods they con-
sumo should 60 as free to them. We
are impressed with the reasonable
character Of such interchange and most
earnestly desire to see our relations with
countries mutual in such a sense that
we can admit such things that we con-
sumo at proportionate reduced price
to the consumer. BY taking the tariff
off we may have the advantage of the
same rights as though the goods were
