THE silver CONFERENCE.

| work OF the Committee on the KnEs
Msh ProposaIs-A Danish Plan to be
Submitted-The American Delegates
Intend TO Have Their BfmetallIsm
scheme Thoroughly Debated.
BRUssELs, Nov. 30.-It Is regarded as
certain that the committee having In charge
the Rothschild silver proposals will recon-
mend the adoption of II. de Rothschild's
plan, with some important notifications,
including q suggestion that the limit for
the purchase of silver be reduced to three
years. 1t is understood that the recon-
mendation will not be presented as the
unanimous report of the committee, but
that the views of the minority will be ex-
plicitly stated.
An animated discussion will, 1t is ex-
pected, take place in the conference on
Friday. The American delegates, al
though they invite discussion of the plans,
intend to have their own scheme of inter
national bimetallism thoroughly debated.
The majority of the delegates seem tonight
to be inclined to adopt the Rothschild
plan modified by suggestions from the
Soetber and Levi plans.
The committee has consented to request
the Danish delegate, Q. F. Teitgen, to sub
NIT his plan as an addsndum to the De
Rothschild plan. Mr.. Teitgen is q mono
metallist. He proposes the coinage of ST.
yer ive-franc, four-shilling or dollar pieces,
rated to gold according to the price of sill
yer in the year previous to the adoption of
an international agreement, with seignor-
age of 10 per cent. He also proposes the
appointment of q permanent international
commission to fix the initial price. |
Should the price of silver fall to 5 per cent. |
below the coinage ratio, the commission |
will have authority to fix q new ratio and |
order the recoinage of the pieces. These |
coins will be legal tender internationally,
banks to keep them as q reserve against |
notes and to have the right to demand gold |
in exchange for them at any time from the |
government issuing the particular coin |
held.
The members of the committee declare
that their proceedings must be kept private
until definite decisions are attained, and
not belonging to the committee the prog
ress they are making In the discussion.

Baking Powder Liquidation.

The use Of alum aud ammonia In bRR-
ing powders has been carried to such an
enormous extent by unscrupulous manu-
facturers, anxious either to swell their
profits or cater to the demand for cheap
goods, regardless of the stomach of the
consumer, that bills have been intro
duced during the past year in the legis-
latures Of many states, among which are
New York, Minnesota, Illinois, Georgia,
Florida, etc, requiring such inferior
articles to be distinctly labeled. Boards
Of health and food commissions In many
cities gnd states have been occupied with
the same problem, and iu many instances
have published lists of powders contain
ing alum or ammonia, 80 that the public
may avoid them.
Following is a list Of the principal
brands Of baking powder that have been
examined and found to contain either
alum or ammonia:
Calumet, OIimdG, Royal, Chicago Yeast,
Forest city, ztpps, Economy, Taylor's,
UnriUaled, Rocket, Globe, SiEUer Star,
Eddy & Eddy, Grants, Bon Bon, Hotel,

tax "llmited." Such tax could not be
shifted, as 1t must come out of the land
owner, otherwise the tenant could not
compete in business with those who oc-
cupy their own untaxed land. All other
land being free from taxation, rent would
be reduced by just the amount Of the
present land taxes.
No other tax should be levied upon
any kind of property, real or personal,
except & graded tax upon all net incomes
of 81, 900 and over, and graded tax upon
estates, lnherltances and bequests. Net
incomes Of individuals, corporations or
firms, represent the residual Increment"
after all demands for consumption or
subsistence are supplied. In other words,
1t Is what Is left after rent, interest and
profit have taken their portion, and food,
clothing, shelter and fuel, as we'll as all
other necessary contingent expenses have
been met. AS a rule, the property or
wealth upon which such an income tax
would be levied would be "unearned in
crement," being the product of either
rent, interest or profit, or else the residue
above consumption, and $1,000 besides,
Of unreasonable and disproportlonste
salaries (wages). There should be very
little difference in the wages paid to diff
ferent laborers. Such difference that
la, all honest and fair difference would be
covered by the better style Of living, in
the ascending grade, and the $1,000 net
income exempted from taxation.
But in case, or rather for fear that
some would yet accumulate too large
portion Of the net production Of the labor
of the nation, every estate should be ad-
ministered upon by public adnsGnis-
traitor, or where there is a will, probated
and executed by public executor, and
heavy, graded tax levied upon all wealth
left by deceased persons, above a certain
set and determined amount.

From The People.
Secretary Elklns wants an early in
crease Of the regular army to $4,000 men
and the immediate establishment Of
closer relations between the national and
the state troops. His "experts" have
told him that a strengthening Of forces
was still more necessary in the western
than in the eastern states, and his fellow
plutocrats have assured him that no sup
port would be withheld from the war
department by either of their Doodle
parties. Our authority for this state
ment is no less a parsonage than Brother
ln-law Shepard. of the MGiI and EGpress,

friend of Elkins and the journalistic

l will now outline what In my humble
opinion would be just and equitable, 9
simple and scientific system of taxation
It will be readily conceded by all that
the taxing prerogative, or power to levy
and collect taxes, can, and may be, and
has been in the past, utilized for other
purposes besides and In addition TO the
primary purpose of providing a revenue
to defray the expenses of the several
governments. The general government
levied 10 per cent. tax upon state bank
circulation for the express purpose Of
driving the notes out of circulation. The
tariff is laid upon imported goods for
the svowed purpose Of protecting and
developing American manufacturing In
dustries. A high license tax is levied
upon retail dealers In liquor, (ssloons) to
hold In check and reduce to o minimum
the saloon business. Many other In
stances might be cited, but these will
suffice for the purpose Of this article.
In the new and near approaching sys-
tenn of taxation, the taxing prerogative
will be utilized:
Flrst-To force the sale of all lands
not actually occupied by their owners, to
those who will so occupy and utilize
them.
Second-To restrict and retard the &C
cumulation Of vast fortunes by individu-
ais, families and corporations.
Third-To free productive, industrial
and distrlbutive laborers from all taxa
ton except an equal per capita proper
tion in return for governmental protec-
tlon Of their personal, civil and religious
rights.
.Fourth-To force the annual net accu-
mutation of wealth, or residual incre-
ment to pay the greater portion of gov
ernmental expenses.
The first step would be to entirely
abolish the tariff and internal revenue
tax, relegating the levylng and collection
Of taxes to the several states, to whom
the prerogatlve rightfully belongs. The
general government should be supported
by proper proportlonate tribute con-
tributed by each state for that purpose.
Each state should levy a per capita or
poll tax upon each and every individual
citizen, OF the same uniform amount per
capita, to the end that each individual
citizen may pay an exactly equal tax for
the protection afforded to the person by
the state government. The humblest
and poorest citizen should receive the
same protection and pay as much there
for as the richest and most arrogant
Now as to the land tax. A cumulative
graduated tax should be levied upon all
unused and unoccupied lands, and also
upon all land occupied. for business pltr-
poses, By others than those WhO O,cn IT..
No other land should be taxed. The
graduated cumulative tax Is called "grad-
uated" because, commencing at a basis
rate upon a basis valuation, it increases
in rate per cent, as the property to be
taxed increases In value. 1t is called
cumulative" because, where an indl-
vidual or corporation owns more than
one piece of land in any taxing district,
the rate OF tax pertaining to the COM
blned valuation of all the tracts is levied
upon each separate tract. Taking the
quantity of land that might be considered
the proper amount for home, the basis
