during the fair it has been relief not

especially true during the wind-up,
when more people are going than at any
other time. Tho ISTELuGEScER IS

while we are considering the advisa-
bllity OF levying an income tax in the
United States, we might gain valuable
information on the subject by watching
Mexico, whose government has In con-
temptation the imposition OF tax on
all incomes, so restricted, however, as
to exempt wage-workers and agricui-
tural laborers. It already taxes the
salaries Of government employees and OF
the clerks and employees of corporations
and private firms, and now proposes to
reach out for the big corporations them
selves, the great land proprietors. and
the owners Of city real estate, who, as
general rule, under the existing system,
contrive to evade much of the burden,
which they ought to carry, and SHIFT
the bigger share upon those who are
least able to bear it,
An ineone tax has never been sue
cessful in this or any other country, and
IL Mexico succeeds IN oeViSIhB system
which shall distribute taxation equita-
bly, by levy upon incomes, she will
have earned the gratitude Of the world.
The justice Of such tax in theory is
not disputed. The question is, how to
put the theory into practice. The prin-
ciple is all right but the difficulty is in
discovering the incomes. Men with
the largest incomes, as rule pay the
least proportionate tax. The more in
eisive and vigorous methods OF enforc-
ing law In Mexico may result in better
luck for that country than the United
States have had with an income tax.
Our neighbours experiment may furnish
On object lesson which will be profitable

Meets With Encouragsment-SeVeral Places
Suggested for the Big Show.

Everybody is talking about the pro-
position to have produced here Pains

peii," and no adverse opinions are heard.
The people OF Wheeling are practically
unanimous in favor of the project. IL
appears certain now that the people Of
this city and surrounding country, wi.
be given an opportunity of witnessing
the show which has delighted immense
audiences In all of the large cities. All
who have seen the production else
where, speak enthusiastically OF it, and
will work hard to help raise the neces-
sarY guarantee fund.
former show man, who Is In the
city, and who is familiar with all the
ms and outs OF his business, stated yes
terday to Mr.. Mendel, that he would
give $4,000 for the receipts on July
fourth, il one production was given be-
fore that timeoto advertise it, and give
people an opportunity TO discuss it.
Yesterday the finance committee divi-
ded itself into three subcommittee, In
order to go about the work more sys-
tematicaly. MeSsrs. Hugo Loos and
NJ. Somehow, were appointed to call
upon Market street merchants. Messrs.
Allen Brock and T. SchwertfeRer COM
pose the Main street committee, and
Messrs. G.. Ed Mendel, A. NJ. jolly and G.
o. Smith, the manufacturers commit
tee. Messrs. jolly and Smith were also
appointed TO ascertain If the bridge
park could be secured. Mr.. jolly was
unexpectedly called to Beaver Falls
yesterday morning, and did not return
until last evening. Ii Is said that the
park will be needed by the bridge CON-
pany to store material for the new
bridge, so that it is probable that 1t
cannot be secured.
An excellent suggestion was made by
citizen yesterday. 1t was that the big
grand stand be erected inside the race
track enclosure at the Fair Grounds,
and the spectacle take place at the
southern extremity Of the enclosure.
The large hole already there could be
utilized for the lake. This arrangement
would not iniure the grounds, or inter-
fere with any plans the management
may have for the coming fair.
The Market street subcommittee
started out yesterday morning ana met
with encouragement. While few bust
ness men agreed to take boxes, many
asked for time to consider the matter,
and scores of others promised to take
five or ten seats each. The Main street
committee did not start to work yester-
day, but will go out this morning, and
present a report at the meeting of the
committee tonight.

CURRENCY CONTRACTION.

Last weeks New York bank state
ment fully justified the prediction that
the Sherman act would not only add
further to the value Of gold and de-
crease in proportion the value Of silver,
but would seriously affect other values.
The recent collapse Of "Industrials"
in Wall street was the first result, an
other, as the last bank statement shows,
is the contraction of credits, which
means, simply, a contraction Of money.
1t was, indeed, in this vortex, that ex-
Secretary FOSTER, an ardent advocate
Of the Sherman act, by the way, &C
knowledges he was caught.
The Sherman law has increased the
value of gold as money to such an ex-
tent that the Treasury's silver might
almost as well be iron so far as the gov
ernment's obligations are concerned.
Conservative business men see that
gold has been given just about as large
an order as it can fill at this juncture.
In the first place, the reserve OF the
banks has increased more than $1,000
600 during the past week, and the banks
hold more than sos, 900, 900 in excess of
the legal reserve. All this excess has been
taken bodily from the business OF the
country and amounts TO the severest
contraction Of the currency that has
taken place for years.
How? By calling in loans. The in
crease in the bank reserve during the
week was 81, or, $50, and the decrease in
loans is s1,O59. zoe. The loans have
decreased and are decreasing because
the banks are pulling in money out Of
the channels Of trade.
This policy has resulted in the with
drawal of the deposits OF those who are
compelled to have mOney, but are IN
able to borrow it on time from the
banks. The withdrawal Of deposits
from the New York banks last week
amounted 10 nearly $1,000, 900, but, In
spite Of this, the reserve increased more
than 81, 600, 600.
The whole process Of contraction that
is now going on is the inevitable result
Of the Republican policy Of demonetiz-
ing silver as tbs money Of final pay
ment, necessitating the redemption Of
the silver notes and certificates in gold
"A policy that, If continued, places
on only five hundred millions
