National Bank Notes Exempt from
Taxation.

A correspondent from White Cloud
Kansas, writes to the American
Banker TO know what money is ex
empt from state and municipal taxa
tiOn, and this is the answer:
Sec. 370l U. S. R. S. prescribes that
"all stocks, bonds, treasury notes
and other obligations Of the United
States shall be exempt from taxation
by or under STAGE or municipal OF
local authority" and by way Of more
clearly defining this, section SAB U.
S. R. S., was afterward enacted.
'The words obligation or other Sc
curity Of the United States shall be
held to mean all bonds, certificates of
Indebtedness, national bank currency
coupons, U. S. notes, fractional notes,
certificates of deposits, bills, checks or
drafts for money, drawn by or upon
authorized officers of the United
States. stamps and other representa-
tives of value of whatever denOmina-
tiOn, which have been or may be is
sued under any act of congress"
1t has often been denied that ma
tiOnal notes are subject to taxation.
The American Banker ought TO be
good authority on this subject. Our
readers should cut this out and save
for future reference.-EX.

Democrats, yOu who still have a
little timldity about tiaG money, read
this from your old veteran silver
leader, Congressman Bland:
II am for free coinage and if | can
not get it at this session | shall try to
secure it at the next or at the earliest
possible moment. The Sherman law
is the nearest we have been able to
get to that point as yet. 1t is pro-
posed to repeal it, but nothing is sug-
gested to take its place. lfthat prop
OSitiOn was to be carried, silver would
at once be demonetized and when
that happens it will not be long be-
fore gold too is demOnetized. With
silver demOnetiZed there would be
such fight for gold among the ma
tions, the highest bidder getting it,
that panics would inevitably ensue.
Then the people of this country
would rise up, take hold Of this gov
eminent and give those trying to run
it such a lesson in finance
as they don't dream of. The cas-
tern men who are clamoring for
gold are too greedy, and are
grasping for everything in sight, let
ting the future take care of itself.
They will find out their mistake.
1t is my belief that the world is drift
ing rapidly to paper money. 1t will
reach that point before long and do
not know but that We will be quite as
well off,"
Give up your gold superstition and
keep up with the procession of pro-
erosion.

Our neighbOr, John Hinchcliffe,
chairman Of the Peoples party cen.
trail committee, is being quietly, but
none the less vigorously, pushed fol-
an important position under the new
administration-that of warden OF
the penitentiary. Mr.. Hinchcliffe
stands well in this community and
numbers among his friends many per.
sons outside the Peoples party. Fol
sixteen years he has resided in Sum.
ner county and during all that time
has maintained the respect of his
friends and neighbors. In his capac.
ity as chairman of the central COM
mittee, during the last campaign, he
worked increasingly for the good OF
his party, and it is claimed that nc
small portion of the victory in this
county can be ascribed TO his intelli.
gent direction of the campaign. By
appointing such men as Mr.. Hinch-
cliffe to the various offices. Gov. Lew.
elling can make no mistake.-Stan.

The week after the election the
VOICE took occasion to acknowledge
Mr.. Hinchcliffe's efficient labOrS in
the campaign, and heartily approves
the above from our Democratic neigh.

titled to recognition from our new

The resonant voice of CheSrer |.
Long, who acquired a little fame
from having been the opponent of the
Hon. Jerry Simpson NJ. c. for con-
gresS last fall, is still heard in the
forum. He appeared in the Sumner
County District Court last Friday as
the attorney Of the Cherokee Strip
Live Stock Association, and by his
persuasive talent and legal ability
succeeded in inducing Judge Ray to
sustain the demurrer to the PETITION
wherein that company had been sued
by the Indians for their pasture rent
The plaintiffs were then given per-
mission to withdraw their petition
and supply the defects. Mr.. Long
can do less injury to the people by
pleading the cause VI the cattlemen
in the courts than in the Congress OF
the United States. The people made
no mistake.

Under the heading "The right
thing to do" the Wichita Eagle says:
Sometime ago the Eagle advised
that in the event that it was i'm
possible to elect a Republican senator,
that the Republicans should 60 with
the Populists rather than vote for a
Democrat" What, would you fusep)
At first the suggestion met with
considerable opposition, but the idea
is growing popular and many who at
first opposed it are now advocates of
the scheme. why you surprise u.s.
Willing to sacrifice your great
principles" in order to defeat the
Democrats?l The greatest objection
the Republicans have to meet in
casting their vote for a POpulist is
the character of the man, and as
many of the aspirants are so motor
iously unfit for the position that no
self-reSpecting Republican could vote
for them. ION, shaw, now, that's too
badN The right thing for the
POpulists to do is to put up their
most available man, and that man is
GovernOr-elect Lewelling. l"WhO is
Lewelling?"l Lewelling, by the
canvass he made, his conduct and
speeches, did more to carry the state
for the POpulists than all the COM
bined aspirants for the nomination
for that Office did. The people, by
their votes, elected him governor,
and to send him to the senate would
come nearer meeting the choice of
the people than any other man.
Besides, being the logical thing TO do,
no Populist in the state to-day is so
well fitted for the position. His
utterances since his election have
convinced the people that he is con-
sentative, that he is strong intellect
ually, and has lots Of good hard
sense. tWell, well, well.l

Congressman Jerry Simpson, Man
sur of Missouri and Peel of Arkansas,
are going to form a combination
against Holman Of Indiana who is
opposing the ratification of the
Cherokee Strip treaty on the ground
of economy in appropriations. They
say that Holman told them in his
objections to the matter last session
that he would not further oppose the
matter at this session. They propose
TO make it warm for him. 1t is
certainly poor economy to annul all
the exceedingly expensive work done
heretofore by the Cherokee commits
sion, simply allowing it to go by
default, by not accepting it before
the limit of time specified in the
treaty expires. 1t would then have
to go through the same process again
more commissioners, more salaries,
more expenses, and more time wasted.
There is no excuse in the kingdom for
such jugglery, such trifling with the
people. Thousands Of people have
been waiting in supense on these
lands to open till their lives have
almost worn away. Open them W,
provide homes for the people and
turn rich empire now lying in waste
into prosperous country, filled with
happy farmers and prosperous towns.
II the Democratic party takes up this
jugglery where the Republican party
left off it will call down the righteous
wrath Of the people upon it.

Another heretofore gOldbug paper

thus loudly utters treason" The
Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
The heaviest blow struck at the ag-
ricultural and industrial classes was
the demonstration Of silver nearly
twenty years ago. 1t did not lower
the value Of silver, for that remains
the same today in relation to other
commodities as before the pernicious
legislation Of 1873, but it increased
the value Of gold as measured by ev-
erything else, and the appreciation is
steadily going on.
