IT is admitted that there is tariff tax of three or four hundred millions of dollars upon the industries of the
 United States. It will make very lit tie difference then what financial leg islation we may get, the prosperity of the country cannot be established un- til the industries are relieved. In the language of Mir. Whitney No matter what disguise it may assume our pres ent tariff system is essentially tax upon the producing and industrial classes. The national government is supported by a tax, not upon property, but upon consumption. The tariff is assessed not upon what men own, but upon what they eat and drink and wear at too largely per capita tax. Under it, it is easily possible, the poor man, with d large family, may be compelled to pay more taxes for the support of the national government than the eco nomical millionaire with only himself to keep. The average man. in the mid dle and lower classes, making an in- come basis classification. spends, say seventy-tive per cent, of his income for food and clothing. The average rich man cannot spend over five per cent. of his income for the same purpose. The national taxes being levied are on the general mass of people, the pro- ducing and industrial classes, and the great body of merchants, tradesmen and professionals. These men pay tif- teen times as much tax in proportion to their means as the rich man. There lies the secret of national distress The only permanent remedy is Ill a re- adjustment of this great burden of tax ation, aud equalizing the pressure upon all alike"

ALL BOSH,

All this talk about gold basis in order to retain our credit abroad, is bosh. When there is d balance of trade against this country with that of any other nation, the difference is paid in gold, if wanted, and when the differ eice IS In our favor, It is paid in gold. This country Is virtually on d gold ba- sis with the outside world. What con- cern is it to other nations, what we use for home circulation ? This country is not attempting to meet it's obligations except as IS the eust tom with all nations with which it rades,-Hope Gazette.
 As true as gospel There would be as much statesmanship in requiring our county and State script to be re- deemed III gold as to establish a gold basis only, When we trade with for eign nations we want gold, when We travel in foreign countries we want gold because 1t has d standard of value recognized throughout the world, but when we travel and trade within the boundaries of the United States what do We care for gold currency more than any other, or currency redeem able i'll gold only, so it is a legal ten der?

 There is great deal in the two items reproduced, but THE TIMES is of the opinion that with free coinage of American silver on parity with gold at the present ratio, silver would be just as acceptable to our foreign neighbors as gold. And if not, then it would really make very little difference to the great majority of the people of the United States, who believe with Mir Bland, of Missouri, that if Europe refused to accept the ratio of IS to l the effect would be to divert from Flu rope all the trade of every silver-pro- ducing country in the world and that England could not withstand the with drawal. All this talk about money universally recognized by all civilized countries" makes us weary. If we have a money universally recognized at home. and lots of it. the other civilized countries will be very glad to get it, and don't you forget it.

EN ROUTE from Fort Smith to St. Louis, recently, the writer passed through the orchard country of Arkan- sas, of which we have many times written, aud more often read in our exchanges. At Rogers, Benton county, our train was "held up" by score or more of the big-hearted, ree-handed citizens of that county, and before we knew what was the matter, or where we were at, We were off the train and had several baskets of the finest peaches in the world thrust into our hands, and when we got aboard of the cars there were raspberries, peaches, oranges, flowers, confectionery, nuts, cigars, soda pop and Pabst's i've think it was, but We are not quite sure, and it might have been Tennessee or Klausmann. ] Anyhow, it was good, and there was plenty of it, and perhaps there were other things which we don't now recall.

Iris bimetallism that makes the manufac- turers of England so strong and prosperous Western Europe will have to come to the American standard or abandon its commerce with the United States and with all civilized countries The United States is the best mar ket in the world for the manufactured pro- ducts of Europe, and that market Europe can not have unless it recognizes and accepts silver al the same value as the United States does. The monometaiists of Europe know that if this country goes into the free coinage of gold and silver at a fair ratio it will settle the question for the world, and hence theIr in- terest and determination to prevent il.

MR. George Gould, who is pretty clear head ed. thinks that much of the present de- moralization arises from the hostility 10 cor porations. IL will be corrected he thinks when the people learn that their prosperity and that of the great corporations go hand in hand" This is true enough, but he great corporations and people are necessarily an tagonistic and bound to end in great loss to cor porate interests. because the people will not submit to their eXactons forever Mir. Gould sees the truth, but only one side of it. The great companies have heretofore considered the productive resources Of the country as theirs by right of financial might and have not shared any of their unearned advantages with the people. As soon as they see the in- justice of this and also recognize the inu,ility Of injustice they will coneede the popular claims Then indeed will the prosperity of corporations and people gro hand in hand Post-Dispatch.

JOHN SHERMAN says three-fourths of the Democratic party favors free coinage of sii- yer, and he might have truthfulIy added that half of the republicans do likewise The Sher- man act was designed to prevent the passage of n free coinage act, which would have gone through democratic house and republican senate by an overwhelming majority had an opportunity offered, and Mir. Harrison was wise enough to know what the result would be if he went before the country with the veto of such bill as part of his record How it must rejoice the hearts of the repuo' lican leaders to see prominent democrats stumping the country in the interest Of tue gold ring.

A CORRESPONDENT asks if the price Of cot ton is regulated by the price of silver. When silver goes down cotton goes down wi'h It, but this does not mean that the price of one is regulated by the price of the other. Re member that forcing up gold forces down la bor. and all the gold products of labor when gold is cornered, and the price forced up' II forces down wages. and the prices of all com- modities, but more especially or our leading Valley exports, such as wheat, cotton corn and provisions. When silver is demonetized, it is forced down with the rest under the rule that forcing up the price of gold forces down the price of all commodities as well as the wages Of all producers. That is very simple and far reaching principle Remember it, and there is little in the money question 1t does not explain.

IT has been several times suggested that one good way to put the silver in circulation would be to dsburse it for pensions, and now we see that one of the grand army posts on the Pacific coast has passed resolution asking congress to have all pensions paid in silver. If the government would act upon this suggestion, a hundred and fifty million dollars would be taken out of the treasury vaults and distributed among the people dIr- ing the year. The pensoner can buy just as much food and clothing win silver dollars as with any other kind of dollars.

proposition to erect the new 14roon
building in the No. 4 district, as hereto
fore described. The matter was infor>
mslly discussed and the board finally de-
cided TO defer actien uatil the next regu~

the necessity of taking action looking TO

able situation that presents itself.
The board passed rule recently that
