Edward Atkinson points out that the
iaiastice in free coinage consists in the
legal tender compulsion. which allows a
r,an who has borrowed gold dollars 10 paw
IA silver, or. in other words. having Dor
rowed in avoiriurois pounds. 10 pay back
in troy pounds. Leave everything 10 con-
erac; and to choice and business will adj
:ust itself to a dollar having 90 cents worth
ST gold IN il and another which has loo
cents, Just as ii has itself 10 pound of
200 grains aud another OF s. 7ts0 grains
This simple argument and illustration
tets forth admirably the folly and fraud Of
,he free coinage of dollars of different in
srinsic values, when under law the choice

Democratic Congressman Springer spoke
in favor of reciprocity treaty with Can
ada ut st. Paul on Monday. 1t is an idle
dream. The Tory government Of Canada
woald Of course like limited reciprocity
treaty like that Of 1854. in which Canada So
cused . very large market for herself and
gaze us but . very small market IN re-
turn. That kind Of one-sided reciprocity
vial never be granted by the United States.
Ike farmers and various producers Of our
border states from Maine to Puget sound
cannot compete with the cheaper labor Of
Canada. and it is not likely that the De-
msrcracy in congress will vote for any such
reciprocity as that Of 1854
Unlimited reciprocity the Tory govern
ment of Canada never will entertain for a
moment. for they will not discriminate
against England and give rs free trade for
our manufactures. 1t 10 useless to talk to
our government about anything save un-
lifaited reciprocity. Reciprocity limited
to: agricultural products, timber and coal,
watch are the competitive industries of
tbs two countries. would be splendid
bargain for Canada, but disadvantage to
US; We would give market Of s., 00O. 90 of
people for market of less than {, 0O0, 600
which would be An act Of folly and an in
justice to the people of Northern frontier
states.
Mr.. Blaine always refused to consider
amy proposition for limited reciprocity of
this sort. and the New York Democratic
farmers will be strong enough to prevent
any such Canadian reciprocity. IN
linised reciprocity will never be granted by
TIE Tory government, for they know that
would soon end in political union. An
nsxation Is the shortest cut for Canada,
fer limited reciprocity she will never get,
and unlimited reciprocity me will never
grant,

Ing $50 and under IS, 600 would be very
unpopular tax and would excite great oppo-
silica. il would have all the enterprising
wags earners among its victims, and tax
levied on what is termed an abnormal
income. say $4,000. would be evaded.
The British income tax has yielded during
the past century abou: one-ffsh OF the
revenue OF the government. The tax has
varied from 2 pence to is pence on the
pound. With . population Of IS. 000 600 in
ISIS, the tar at 8 pence on the pound
amounted 10 about $50. oo0. 600. The tax
this year Is 6 pence on the pound. and the
estianated receipts from it are SIS. 100000.
An income tax has been adopted also
by France, Germany and Italy, and. it il
claitoed. has proved satisfactory. This
may Be true. because in these countries
the great mass of the wage earners would
be exempt by their poverty and their mar
row income from this tax, and they arc
well pleased with its imposition upon the
wealthy classes. But in America thou
sands Of wage workers would be touched
by an income tax that was intended to be
eifeGt:ve.
II is objected to the income tax by the
Baltimore American that

alike, where Il 10 honestly enforced, while the

School Mileage and Tuition.

Editor Wdtchlndn:-Whats shall be the stand
ard distance beyond which we are to begin
paying for transportation Of school children
of the lower grade? / suggest that each
town take for such standard the average of
the longest school routes of each old style
district. In Chelsea such routes vary from
225 to $50 rods, and their average is about a
mile and quarter. By this plan that town
would pay a certain rate per mile beyond
some cases. Sixteen families in town are
over a mile and a quarter from their
school. houses, %. S. and forty.tive are
from mile to mile and quarter away.
The sixteen would be entitled to mileage
for sections which they have heretofore
traversed without pay. For carrying mile
age, beyond the limit, propose the rate of
twenty cents mile, one way, for each day
of attendance from each family; if they are
carried the cost will be no greater for six
than for one. For foot mileage, 1 suppose
the rate of ten cents each extra mile one
way; for each pupils daily trip, most chill
dren will jump at the chance of earning
this amount for the work required. should
say, make no allowance for those attending
the higher grades of academies and central
graded schools at the expense Of the towns.
Again, what shall be the rate for inter-
town tuition in the lower grades? Estimat-
ing twenty pupils as the yearly average for
each school, and five dollars week as the
average pay of teachers, then twenty-fi five
cents week from each pupil would pay the
teachers wages, and propose this amount
as the standard between towns, by the year
at twenty-five, twenty-five and twenty
eight cents for spring, fall and winter
terms respectively, and for higher grades
let rates be fixed by towns according to class
of school, II l.. BIXBY
