If some party papers would conhne
themselves to the truth in reporting
political gatherings they would not
injure their cause and they would hold
the respect of the people. Lying about
the size of crowds does no good. In
the first place the crowd that listens to
a speaker is no evidence of his party's
strength, and in the second, the people
will know better. This applies to papers
of all parties.

Taxed Socks.

Mike DOran, a street car driver in

received new light on the tariff question.
Mikes mother in old Ireland sent him
twelve pair of wOolen socks. whichswere
received at the custom house by Mixes
cousin and broubgt to him with a re-
ceipt for three dollars. TheFeupon
Mike addressed the following letter to
Mckinley:
DEAR SIR read yor speeches in the
house of representatives during the
Fifty-first congress when the tariff bill
was under discussion in which you
asserted and made me believe that the
foreigners paid our taxes. L also read
your speech as presiding officer of the
republican national convention at Min
neapolis. in which you asserted again
that the foreigners paid our taxes. Ny
mother sent me a dozen pairs of socks
from Ireland a few days ago. each pair
being worth about twenty cents My
cousin. who brought them TO me. had to
pay twenty-five cents pair tariff du-
ties on the socks at the New York Gus
tom house. Will you please be kind
enough to tell me what foreign govern
ment shall apply to TO have that three
dollars refunded to me? If the for
eiguer pays the tax as you say be does,
am entitled to get my money back,
but do not know just exactly what
government to apply TO and hope you
viii be kind enough to inform ma by
return mail. Yours truly,

localized ROBBERY.

BIO lay with one hand the power Of the government
on the property of the citizen, and with the
other to bestow it upon favored individuals to
aid private enterprises and to build up private
fortunes is none the less q robbery because 1t Is
done under the forms of law and is called taxa
tion.-2O Wallace. U s. Supreme Court Reports
Page 663.
Constitutionauy tax can have no other basis than
the raising Of revenues for public purposes, and
whatever governmental exaction has not this
basis is tyrannical and unlawful. A tax on i'm
ports. therefore, the purpose of which Is not to
raise revenue, but to discourage and indirectly
prohibit some particular import for the beneht OF
some home manufacturer, may be questioned as
being merely colorado, and, therefore, not war
ranted by constitutional principles.-Judge Coo
ley in Constitutional Limitations

Senator Morrill, on Coinage.

Senator Morrill,, as chairman of the
finance committee. read on Wednesday
thoughtful argument against the I'm
limited coinage Of silver, which deserve;
to be read and considered for the whole
some truths 1t contains. The silver ques-
ton and all other financial questions are
by some people ignored as being beyond
their comprehension but they are not so
difficult to understand when they are ap'
preached in the right way, and Senator
Morrill,, within the limits of his argu
ment, makes his position and the reasons
therefor entirely clear. His speech is
not a complete exposition OF the subject,
for he naturally lays down some things
as axioms without furnishing the proofs
from history and experience; but his
speech deserves to be read by thinking
people because it is on an important sub
iect, and points out clearly the dangers
that must ensue from free aud unlimited
coinage of silver BY this country. The
danger may be averted il men will read
and study the subject. but it will exist Just
as long as silver mine owners making pro
fits Of 100 per cent. out of silver legisla
ton are supported by demagogues ready,
if the occasion should offer, to issue fiat
paper money in q delusive attempt to
increase the wealth Of the people Mr.
Morrill's speech ought to be the means
of inaugurating campaign of educa
ton on the silver and money questions
now go prominent before the people OF
the country; and to this end it should b,
carefully studied by every intelligent
person into whose hands it may come
