lions usually ascribed to "humors;' which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption

"There is little old woman" said

The Pennsylvania Law.

Mr.. II. G. Lea, prominent merchant
of Philadelphia, has written letter to
the Pennsylvania legislature vigorously
protesting against the passage of bill
to list and tax personal property Mr..
Lea is a large owner of real estate and
very small owner of personal proper.
ty,- which makes his letter all the
stronger. He says:
AS heavy taxpayer have naturally
given the subject of taxation SOME
thought for many years past, and my
conviction is settled that real property
is the surest and fairest basis on which
to levy the public revenue. 1t can not
elude the assessor, rs the great bulk of.
personal property can; its value can be
estimated with reasonable accuracy,
and is not subject to violent or sudden
fluctuations The difference between
land at S25 an acre and $25 square
foot is simply that the latter is sur
rounded by capital and business, while
the former is remote from these sources
of value. OF all classes in the COM
munity, the landowner is the one most
interested in having capital and bust
ness untrammeled to earn the largest
profits. He gets, sooner or later, his
share in those profits, and it is suicidal
for him to drive away that which alone
gives his land its especial value over
government lands in the territories.
The bill provides for a complete in.
ventory of the personal effects of every
person, firm and corporation, including
household furniture and tools, and then
provides that the inventories shall be
printed and distributed to all the tax
payers, SO that each one may play the
spy on his neighbor and see whether he
has made a true return or not. As there
are 225, 900 taxable persons in Philadel-
phia, the lists would fill several vol
umes, SO that each person would have
small library presented to him every
year at the public expense, consisting
of detailed statement of cverybody's
assets and liabilities.

checks on that account to the extent Of about
G0,00) against the money which ] believed wat
deposited by him as per understanding. Upon
several occasions when notified Mr. Lucas
that under our agreement money was needed,
he brought me stock OF the Keystone bank,
which he requested me to use in lieu OF the
money. as it was not convenient for him to fur
nish cash at the time.
.As result, when he died had in my pos
session 25l5 shares of the keystone bank so
received by me from him."
The Wanamaker explanation is well
worth perusal in this light. We see
here that The joint speculation in Read.
ing stock was not undertaken for a
mere low love of gain, but in order tc
assist in preserving the independence
of the Reading railroad property" VIZ
see, too, that although MIR. Wanamaker
asked Mr.. Lucas to go into the specu-
lation in "the belief that he was rich
man." Lucas coming to him ION sew.
eral occasions to tell him he had got
no money and must give him stock to
borrow on instead, did not shake his
belief in the existence of the Lucas
wealth. Nor did it ever lead him te
inquire whether Lucas was making
the deposits in the bank which the
agreement called for. On the con
trary, Mr.. Wanamaler went on ''draw
ing checks to the extent of about
$4,000 against the money which hi
believed was deposited by him as pc,
understanding" AS the money wa.
not there, of course the checks ought
to have been returned marked enc
funds,' so as to make the good mar
acquainted with the bad mans default.
But-they were not returned, apparent
~, and served to furnish the good mar
with money for the joint speculation,
and finally constituted part of the over
draft which the good mans enemies
are trying to use against him, an6
which he finally ''made good with com.
mercial paper." Now, we feel very
sure that King Hezekiah. in Mr.. Wanna
makers place, the very first time Lucas
came to him to say that he had nc
money, and offer bank stock instead
would have addressed him in this wise
''If thou hast no money now, o Lucas
thou hast not been making those de.
posts to my personal account, as pei
understanding. Thou art not the ricf
man thought thee, and do not think
thou shouldst continue in this Reading
speculation with me. And this leads
me to ask, O Lucas, what is the condi'
ton of thy bank at this time? Art thor
short and is the bank sound?'
Nothing in comic literature can sur
pass in grim humor the comments Of
the Philadelphia newspapers on all
this, and nothing has ever more clearly
illustrated the power of ''ads." over
modern journalism. They are a great
social and political force, stronger than
religion, or morality, or lawn. Y
