CUMMINGS AGAINST CLEVELAND
The Congressman Wants Hill as Labor
Candidate

SohotooAS.
CHICAGO, June 20.-"The communi-
cation received today from Mr.. Dow
ling If the New York State Trades
assembly," said Congressman Amos j.
Cummings at the Hill headquarters,
"opens up q new question. MIR. Dow
ling Is perfectly right when he says
that the possibility Of n third party
isbor candidate should be avoided. He
speaks with authority when lie said
such q candidate will be put in the
field If Cleveland is nominated. can
not see how it can be helped should Mr..
Cleveland he nominated, in view of the
fact OF the hostility they have shown
to Mr.. Cleveland in the past. There
fore, It behOoves the delegates
TO the convention to be care
ful what they do. This course
would surely lead to the Loss of New
York state. Thousands of labor votes
will be drawn from our ticket in this
wav and II comes with double force
from Mr.. Dowling. David B. Hill
should be the nominee of this couven-
ton IN order to avert the third party
movement and hold the labor votes II
the United States for the democratic
ticket. When carefully considered, this
is . very serious question. Mr.. DowlIng
says that the workIngmen do not desire
to nominate the third party ticket and
says truthfuliy that thousands of labor
voters, irrespective of party in New
York state. will give Mr.. Hill
the same hearty support as they
did in 1885 and 1854, when he ran for
governor. In 1891 the workiagmen
of New York and the State Trades
assembly of which Mr.. Downing i. NOW
president, opposed Mr.. Cleveland for his
lack of interest IN the cause Of labor
for the years that ne was governor.
In 1888 the opposition WAS even greater
and we attribute the Ioss of New York
state in 1888 10 Cleveland to the
hostility OF organized labor against
him. Mr.. Downing - in = position of
authority to speak for 300. 900 working
men which compose this greet central

The Michigan Delegation Absolutely Sure

Chicago Post: Don NJ. Dlckinson's 9
picture in the Michigan headquarters
seemed to be smiling upon the bust Of
Cleveland, that stood directly opposite.
when the delegates and boomers fiocked
into the Wolverine headquarters.
Solid Michigan men eat about the
rooms wearing "Oh-we-are-sure- f-hls.
nomination" smiles. They acted like
a fisherman who knew he had his iish
securely fastened and let him play.
From every corner Of the room the PIC
ture of Cleveland's postmaster general
seemed TO be clothed in radiant smiles.
1--WE are 90 sure of Cleveland's nOmi-
nation," said Ed Ryan, 'that we
haven't the heart to chase around IN
the heat and worry with the doubtful
fellows"
Charles Cook came in, and, after
making himself comfortable in an easy
chair, he remarked: sMichigan will
not have a break on the first ballot for
Cleveland" Then everybody IN the
room began to whistle that old familiar
tune, "Boom - -"
One or two delegates professed 10
know thing or two about plan being
evolved to spring favorite son for the
vice presidency. but Colonel Perkins,
of Lansing, broke the dense silence by
remarking: "They mean that they will
have the delegation take whrl or two
for Dlckieon, but 1 don't think Don
would consent TO IT,
From present indications it can be
clearly seen that the Wolverines mean
business from the jump and no break
from the Cleveland ranks will he toler
ated. "No particular credit ls due Dor
Dickinson, either, for Cleveland's
strength" SAID q delegate. ''althougt
the ex-cabinet member is understood te
have held conferences with the whip
pers-in. We simply want Cleveland
and we will have him."

Confederate Finances.

THE Finarces Of the Confcderacy" IL
the title of an article by j. G. ScHwAB In
the Political Science Quarterly. which IS Just
to hand.
The subject ia considered under three
heads--L., Pablo Debt and Taxation
H., Legal-Tendcr Notes; Ill, National
Bank System.
Mr.. ScHwAB says that 1.-THE generally
accepted notion that the financial policy
Of the Confederscy may be characterized
as n series of blunders Is far from the
truth" As TO legaltender act. Mr..
ScHwAB finds that ii was urged by many
persons, but that there can be no reason
able doubt that 1t was the Confederate
Constitution as interpreted blythe majority
in the Congress which mainly prevented
the adoption of such measure" Wnlie
the Confederate Congress never took the
necessary step TO establish banking sys-
TEN in which the bank note should be Sc
cured by deposit of government bonds
various State legislatures adopted sucn a
| measure"
The author concludes that "a study OF
southern history during that disastrous
but interesting period teaches uncom-
monty suggestive lessons in matters OF
currency, banking, and public finances"

county, municipal, benevolent, charitable, cdu.
tionsi, and religious purposes"
We quote Article X. section 4:
"1hs capital invested Ia all business opera
tions shall DO assessed and taxed ne Other pro-
perry"
We see no hook whereon to hang
doubt. The trainers OF the Constitution
seem 10 have endcavored no TO hedge about
its provisions on the subject OF exemption
a. that nobody could reise the question
whether the Legislature could exempt
SMITHS property from taxation and tax the
same kind of property in JoSEs's HANDS
whether the new conner could be accorded
an exemption denied to an old resident
whether the Trcdeyar Company could DO
taxed on plant fifty years old and new
company of tho same description be ex-
empted from all taxation.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1892-03-19
Exemptions.

From the time when the question was
first raised we have. as we said yesterday,
maintained that no town nor city-no. mu-
nicipal corporation-ha right under the
Constitution of Virginia TO exempt proper
" from taxation. We were some years
AGO fully confirmed in this opinion by a
decision Of the Supreme Court OF the
United States in case from Petersburg.
w. Va, which town had undertaken to ex-
empt from taxation certain manufacturing
plants that had been located there IN con-
sideration Of such exemption. The pres
ent City Attorney of Richmond long ago
gave il as his opinion that the corporation
ofRichmond had no power 10 exempt manu.
featuring plants from taxation. SO that the
decision Of the Supreme Court of Appeals
of Virginia reported in yesterdays Dis
PATCH surprised none of our readers who
had taken interest enough IN the matter
TO keep themselves posted on the Ques-
ton. The injustice Of exempting new
plants from taxation and levying full
taxes upon old plants of identically the
same kind ought TO have been manifest to
every thoughtful person. Besides, ex-
emption from taxation is not the great
boon il is assumed to be. We doubt
whether any manufacturing plant was
ever located in q place solely because it
was there exempt from taxation. We
have now on Union Hill, in this city, a
large building almost completed, which,
though il is 10 be manufacturing plant,
was located within the corporation,
though by locating it few hundred yards
further north its owners would have es-
capped municipal taxation aud have OBJ
tanned land much cheaper.
II was stated IN our local columns yester
day that the Supreme Court Of Appeals Of
Virginia had reserved for future decision
the question whether an exemption can b
made even though the charter expressl,
authorizes It. Upon the principle qu' Jaci
per alum fact per ss. If such exemption
are authorized by a charter granted by tn
Legislature. they are made by the Legisla
ture itself. So we will now 60 further ant
say that in our opinion the Constitution o
Virginia expressly forbids even the Legs
Iature 10 make such exemptions. We quot

The Baltimore Sun denies that it is OPP

Of charge as gold is. At the mints 20 $40

of silver bullion are treated in the same
way the free coinage of silver will have

We are not fighting in favor of free
