Eight SEQ Notes Made Out of Seven.

fIght 0SO Notes Made Out OF Seven.
From the Chicago Herald.
Capt. Porter of the secret service came into
possession of new counterfeit yesterday. It
was $40 bill made Of patches from seven diff
ferent notes of the same denomination. The
seven pieces were skilfully patched together with
strips of court plaster, but they constituted a
whole bill, which appeared perfectly good. Any
mutilated bill is redeemable at a sub treasury.
provided three-ffths Of the bill is presented
The maker of this note therefore worked a
very neat scheme by taking seven so bills and
tearing enough from each to make another bill.
The mutilated notes being redeemable he
cashed them for good notesat the sub treasury,
and, taking the portions he had torn off, lie
made a very presentable $40 bill. The num-
bers in each corner were different but the
note in all other respects, even upon close in
vestigation, appears good. Capt. Porter, in en-
deavoring to trace the bill to its maker, found
that it had been paid into the sub-treasury by a
postmaster. The latter had received it from a
woman, who had taken it in change for 800
bill at large business house in this city. The
firm was unable to trace it to any of its GUS
toners, and the search was abandoned.

The Washington Post presents some
interesting tax figures:
For the next two years our Govern
ment will spend more than S500,000,
900.
To pay one years expenses of the
Government it will take nearly the
combined wheat and oat crop.
Our annual output of gold, silver,
copper, iron, coal, petroleum and lead
Will not foot our tax bill for twelve
months.
Nor can we do it with years pro-
duct of cotton, wool, rye, barly, wine,
potatoes and tobacco
The combined capitalization of our
national banks is $500, 100000. One
years taxes will nearly swallow it up.
Now, all this is the Federal taX We
have also to pay city, county, and state
taxes.
We pretend to be nation of plain
people, no aristocracy, no princes, no
standing army, and no expensive frills,
and yet our taxes are more enormous
than those of Austria, Germany OF
Great Britain.
When we calmly consider these facts
and figures it must be admitted the out
look is not very encouraging. But slch
evils always lead to reaction. The
people will be forced by stern necessity
to demand reform or revolution, and
in 4 country like ours such Il state of
public sentiment is bound to crystalize
into reform
