HE CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

Rev. Mr.. WELLS, who believes in inn
mersion as saving grace, talked to his
congregation in Minneapolis Sunday on
the topic of Hard Times" In the
course of his remarks, after admitting
that he knew nothing about the cause
of the hard times, he said that ''to my
mind there is one strange thing. | do
not understand why people who are en-
Toying all the blessings of prosperity,
the result of a settled and well-estab-
Iished policy, should bring about a
change and overthrow that policy for
one wholly untried and lacking sta
bility." This reverend Adulamite
should stick to his texts and dogmas, of
which he may know something, and
leave to others questions about which
he admits he knows nothing. In some
moment of real solid reflection it might
come to him as an intuition that if it
had not been for cantankerous fellow
named LUTHER, who, some 400 years
ago, became dissatisfied with 1.-The re-
suits of tried and established policy"
and persuaded others to join him in
bringing "about change and over
throw of that policy for one wholly un-
tried ard unstable" Rev. Mr.. WELLS
would not now be insisting on the ne
cessity of complete immersion to the
specification of souls. We take it that
MIR. WELLS has intelligence enough to
comprehend the point of this remark.

quite surely object to coming in to pay
taxes to liquidate our debt. and at the
same time be required to liquidate alone
its former debt. The matter could, how
ever, be adjusted upon an equitable
basis. An amount of the Canadian debt
which would make Sl4 Canadian per
capita added to the general debt would
not increase the original American per
capita. and the excess of the Canadian
debt could be left to be paid by the
original district. In this way Canada
would contribute nothing to our original
debt. and we would contribute nothin G
to the Canadian debt.

THE TARIFF AND THE PANIC.

Exception has been taken to our state
ment that the tariff is one of the causes
of the present condition of financial dis
trust. We think this is easily demon
strable and must be taken into &C
count in any analysis of the situation.
We look on the tariff and the SHERMAN
act as subordinate forces, which have
come in conjunction with larger and
more potent cause to bring about the
existing condition. Neither of them
alone-probably both of them combined
would not have effected it; not that
either or all of them is not vicious and
facilitating in effect, but because this is
wonderfully productive country, and
can stand immense drains, just as Wig
orous young man can sustain excuses
without immediate impairment Of his
vitality. The root of the evil is the
speculative or boom spirit which has
ravaged the country, beginning in town
sites and real estate everywhere, and,
when that field Of adventure failed.
turned into industrial stocks, in which
the fever ran its course until the climax
came and fictitious prices shrunk to
dCIud1 pOoolUll OOIOM.
The tariff contributes to speculative
investments in being a disturber of the
distribution of wealth. 1t turns it out
of its natural channels, and diverts it
into special and narrower ones. 1t lays
its eXacIing hand on the industries Of
the whole people, and takes q portion
without recompense and gives it to the
few who are its real benefciaries as
distinguished from its oStensible ones.
Among the latter are the farmers, the
wage earner5, the artisans engaged in
carpentry, painting, blackSmithing, ma
sorry and kindred pursuits. In the
former are, in the main, the producers
of those materials Whish lie at the base
of the great industries. the owners of
the raw material and such of the manu-
facturers as are able to corner produc-
ton, and thus control prices.
The inevitable result is the accumu-
. lation in such places of unearned
wealth restricted by the very nature of
its creation from expanding the pro-
duction out of which it grows. Idle
money is useless money. The universal
law of creation compels it to seek in
vestment. Men having it are as eager
for places to plant it as is a farmer for
ground in which to plant his corn or
SOW his wheat. It hunts planting
ground. Legitimate business promises
inadequate return. Projects promis-
ing extraordinary returns spring up in
answer to the demand for investments.
City real estate takes on a boom with
rapidly advancing prices and increasing
rents. Stocks and bonds feel the I'M
pact of demand and advance. Interest
rates fall, stimulating, in turn, specuia-
tive movement. Prices initiate, credit ex-
pands like bubble blown from the pipe.
Suddenly something occurs, the bubble
bursts, credit IS fiat, securities shrink,
contraction brings business back TO
nearly cash basis.
1nasmuch as the tariff serves to dis
turb the natural distribution of wealth
and concentrate it in fewer hands, it feeds
the flame of speculation which is the
greatest of the forces which have
brought about the present condition,
and is the base of all financial panics.

ELEMENTARY INFORMATION.

: A contemporary, whose incubation
with Democracy didn't work we'll, OBJ
jectS to direct tax for the deficit in the
federal revenues because the country
would be ravaged by an army of fed
eral tax-gatherers. Such mere buga-
boos should be left for our Republican
riends to play scare with. For the
benefit of our esteemed contemporary,
we assure it that the tax would not re-
Quire the employment of single tax
gatherer, or anything beyond a possible
increase of clerks in the treasury de-
partment. Just as the stale legislature
now determines the amount of tax to
be levied, leaving it to the auditor to
apportiOn it among the counties on their
returns of asseSsable property. so the
secretary of the treasury would
apportion the federal tax among
the states on the basis of their
population. As the state audi
tor sends his warrant to each
county auditor for the county's quota,
to be extended on his tax books, so the
secretary would send his warrant to
each state auditor for the states quota
of the federal tax. The state auditors
would apportlon the federal tax among
the counties and include it in the war
rant to the county auditors. These Off
GERS would extend both taxes on the
books; the treasurers would collect
them and remit to the state treasurer,
who. in turn, would send the federal
treasury the amount due it. As we
have heretofore stated, all the expense
to the state would be the printing of an
additional column in the tax books and
receipts showing the amount each tax
payer was called on to pay as his share
of defraying portion of the expense of
the nation. We regret only that paper
which assumes to represent Democratic
principles should oblige US to make
this elementary explanation.

IN THE PLAY HOUSES.

There can be no question of the merit of
the performance given by Jacob Lit play
ers this week at the Grand. There has
never been seen i'll this country more finished
or thoroughly artistic dramatic work, and
even though the play might have no attrac-
Iions the acting is worth seeing regardless of
the play. But there is interest in the play as
we'll; the language is beautiful, and no one
but Dumas could handle a theme such as
the one treated upon in THE Edge of So
ciety" so delicately. Mr. Lift has truly
given this play grand cast, and it should
fill his theater nightly, as efforts such as Mr..
Lift has made to give this city the perfect
dramatic productions given by his stock
company should receive both recognition
and support.

Timely Resolutions.
At the meeting of the chamber of

tine and some quite important special
business was transacted. 1t was de-

and resolution was passed in commen-

an extra session of congress. The most
important resolution adopted is here
given:
Resolved, That we congratulate our hankt
and business men OF all classes on INC com.
mercial strength which has been displayed
in our comm unity. We express our appre-
citation of the conservatism of our financial
institutions on the one hand in wisely
strengthening themselves, and of their con.

modate without tTenching upon safe and

institutions, st. Paul Will stand almost with.

This man was a candidate for repre-
sentative in the legislature in that dis
trlct last fall. That utterance Is enough

The LIE Sueur Sentinel remarks: The
