AMONG the opinions which have

AMONG the opinions which have
been received at Washington from
congressman in relation to the Sher-
man law is one from Congressman
Tawney, of Winona, in which he says:
81 favor the repeal of the Sherman
law so far, at least, as it requires
monthly purchases of 100000 ounces
of silver. AS to the plan Of currency
issue, am almost as much in doubt
as the administration and the coun-
try seem to be, except that it should
be national not state issue"
Upon the same subject Congress-
man Hall, of Des Moines, Iowa, wrote
as follows: 81 do not believe that the
Sherman bill is the cause of the pres
ent financial crisis. 1t is one of the
causes. Uncertainty as to action OF
the Democratic party on the system
of revenue and currency laws, as well
as the attitude of that party in favor
of the free coinage of silver in the
f1fty-frst and fifty-second congresses
have destroyed confidence. l am op-
posed to this country going on a silver
basis. I am also opposed to state
banks of issue. If we must go to
smash I would prefer silver to wild
cat money"

The Most Interesting Feature.

Window Reporter: What do you
think is the most interesting feature
at the fair?" SAID my landlady when
l came home tonight about eleven
O'Clock, after having taken in the
down town shows. | suppose that
question will be asked by everybody
when l get home and l might as well
answer it here as anywhere. If the
question was asked at a country fair
where some exhibit Of extraordinary
merit was brought from some distant
place it would be question easy Of
solution, but down here where the
world has sent the best of everything,
where every people on the globe have
Laid themselves out" to do something
better than their neighDor, the queS-
tiOn becomes one Which must be an
swered in two ways. Either the
piece Of machinery, painting, en-
Dro'dery, japanese vase, or some 9TH
er specific object or individual hobby
must be said 10 be the most interest
ing thing, or the fair must be taken
asa whole and said to be the thing of
greatest interest. Ii must be remem-
bered when asking such question
that this fair is an eXhibitiCn Ofhuman
accomplishments and to denominate
any special exhibit as the most in
tereSting thing" is neither fair to
yourself nor just to the exposition.
It is marvel of human endeavOr,
and however unlmpOrtant any one eX-
hibit may be TO the individual who
sees it, the class Of exhibits with
which it is a competitor forms an in
tereSting feature that can only attract
and hold the admiral iOn of man. So,
if you ask me l must say that the
Fair" is the only feature Of
interest.
DThis is great educational show.
If there is anywhere man who thinks
| the universe reVolyes round his i'm
mediate home and the possibilities Of
the race centers upon that axis, he
should put some potatoes or cabbages
in soak" for money enough to come
| to Chicago and see what can be done
| just beyond the horizon of his dwarf
ed and circumScribed surroundings.
Even many people who have Travelled
some and become convinced that even
they have seen the world, go nome
undeceiVed and wiser. The fair must
be taken as a whole when the ques-
tiOn is asked, and it must be answer
ed with liberality of thought COM
mensurate with the greatest under
taking in the history of the human
race. The fair is the OutgrOwth of the
human mind, and while all the aTchi-
lecture, the massive machiner, o5of

BILE engines to destroy humanity and
/ protect ourselves are wonderful, i'm
f posing, awe-inspiring, and each might
, be said to be the ''mOst interesting
! feature" the fact remains that they
are all the practical application and

: veloped, discovered and used by the

I no better answer to the question thar

THE Philadelphia Ledger thinks
that in presenting his resolution fav-
oring the confscation of the real and
personal property of trusts and COM
binations and denying them access to
the courts to enforce their claims, Ig-
natius Donnelly made mistake that
he did not recommend himself as the
person to enforce this provision and
decide what concerns are trusts 1t
does seem that the sage made an i'm
pOrtant omission.

THE free silverites complain that
silver has not been fairly treated.
What better treatment do they want
than has been accorded the white
metal? From the foundation of the
government up to 1873 under the free
coinage of silver, there had been coin
ed s, 045, 1913 silver dollars. Since that
time, under laws which the free sill
verlte says discriminates against sill
yer, there has been coined total of
419, 294, 1876 silver dollars. This does
not look as though silver had been
treated very badly.

WANTS A DIRECT TAX.

1C party declared In favor or Tree
trade and siuce last November it's
leaders have been Duzzling their
heads how to carry out their pledge
without interfering with the well
fare of the people and at the same
time provide revenue sufficient to
carry on the government. The form
er they have settled upon atheoreti-
cal basis trusting to luck that it may
turn out all right, but the latter is
giving them more trouble. On COM
ing into power they found that
the Mckinley law had reduced the
revenue to the actual needs of the
government. AS this does not con-
form with their teaching that it in
creased the taxes of the people, they
have tried to divert the attention Of
the people by declaring that the Re-
publicans were recklessly eXtravagant.
But this has not been borne out by
the subsequent action of the Demo-
cratic house, which instead of reduc-
ing the expenses of the government,
increased them. That they may be able
to carry out some of their theories re-
gardiDg the tariff, they are casting
around for some scheme from which
they can receive what they would lose
by increasing the free list. The first
thing presenting itself was the restor-
alton of the sugar tax, also tax on
tea and coffee. This would yield
somewhere in the neighborhood of
$4,000, 900. This plan is popular with
Henry Watterson and his followers in
the party. Another scheme is the in
come tax, whereby it is proposed to
tax all incomes over $4,000 or $4,000.
This idea is very popular with many of
the Democratic leaders who think it
would make them solid with certain
classes, and gather into their fold, pos
sibly, those of socialistic tendencies.
But the st. Paul Globe is opposed to
both of these. The income tax it
it says, is undemocratic and
is levying, a tax upon a class.
1t also opposes the restoration of the
tax8on sugar, declaring that the party
of free trade should not take step
backward. and that articles now on
the free list should not go back upon
| the dutiable list Nothing Of this
kind. it says, must be done. How
1 loeseIt propose then to help iUs party
out of the difficulty 1T finds itself in:
BY simply levying direct tax upon
the people of the various states. This
tax would be distributed among the
states on the basis of their population
in accordance with the federal consti
tuition, and the people of a wealthy
state with about the same population
as a state which is not as wealth.
would pay no more taxes than tn
poorer state. This is the just mea
sure of taxation which the Gl06
would like to see enacted into a law
It's English, you know. and therefor
is all right with the deciples of fire
trade. 1t is not probable, however
that this plan will be adopted by th
party. A campaign on one trial Q
this kind of scheme would lay GU

would never knew it had been in tn
ring. The Globes idea will never be
popular one.

FROM the reports that come of the
different tariff bills that are being
prepared by various leaders of Dem
ocracy, that party seems to be grow
ing more and more widely apart IN it's
views and theories upon the question.
No wonder Grover lodged the ques-
tion when he talked about an extra
session of congress.

ONE of the reasons given by the
free traders for the carrying out OF
their theory is that our manufacturers
need free raw materials in order to
compete in the so-called markets OF
world. They represent our industries
to be in languishjng condition be-
cause they are not allowed free raw
materials, and free access to the mar
kets of the world. The Atlanta Con-
stitutioo. which has become greatly in
terested Ia the growth OF 6ae manu-
featuring industry in the South, does
not seem to agree with the theories OF
the free trader, though it trains with
his party. 1t does not like the idea OF
the transfer of our manufacturing
from this country to England, and
says that Atlanta is SO situated that
manufacturing is bound to be it's lead
ing interest for all time to come, and
declares that 1.-THE raw material Of
every line of industry is at our door. !"
1t does not have to go abroad for
them, it is willing that our
own producers should be given the
chance to supply them. 1t notes the
wonderful stride that city has made
since the war, growing from town
OF 10000 to $4,000 today and says:
"Our factories and mills are rapidly
increasing in number. In 1880 we
had 1876 manufacturing establish
ments, and in 1891, we had 633, with ov-
er 100000 capital, employing 10, POS
hands, turning out an annual product
valued at 33,012,OOO." This does not
show that the "robber tariff is much
of a deterrent of progress. 1t is to be
very much doubted, if the conditions
of the Chicago platform were put in
force the city Of Atlanta could con-
tinue to present it's splendid showing

What Sort of a

Governor FLOWER. of New York. is OPP
posed TO State roads as we'll as to national
roads, and favors the system OF county
roads. MIR. w. S. BULL, of Buffalo. in the
Same State, comes out for State roads. We
favor national roads for the reasons set
forth by Mr.. BULL. as follows:
IAN examination OF the road system OF the
thirty-odd countries OF the Old World shows that
without exception the quality Of the public roads
improves just In proportion as toe schemes tor
repair aud maintenance are welded together
under one general system and cared for under
IN intelligent and Official head"
That is to say. anational system OF roads
is the best. What would become of the
commerce between the States If instead of
@ national interstate commission we had a
poor imitation of it in every State? The
old national road over the Allegheny
Mountains 10y way of Cumberland was q
government work. The power TO make II
was conceded in ante-bellum days and
would hardly be questioned now. The
money wasted in pensions would each year
MI one State with the finest of county
roads. Let these roads be welded to-
cether under one general system and cared
tor under an intelligent and Official head"
