mist and student OF finance from Adam
Smith to the presfhtStime' to the con
trary Notwithstanding. Mr.. Wells cites
a recent decision Of the United States in
a case brought brought before it for the
very purpose of raising this point, as
distinctly stating that the only
kinds OF taxes required by the con
stitution to be apportioned among
the several states are capitation taxes
and taxes upon land. This being true it is
OF course ridiculous to maintain, as
some newspapers have done, that
a federal income tax IS unconstitutional,
Such a tax has been resort ed to by con
gress as a war revenue MEASURE and can
be imposed agaih. ats practicability
presents an entirely different question.
1t failed to give satisfactory results

the guesses have been greatly exagger-
ated and expresses the belief that the
exodus will not include more than
100000 for the year ali told. Even ac-
cepting this as a conservative figure, IL
must be remembered that the greater
part OF this number tooK their de-
parture during the last few months OF
the year and that the monthly emigra-
tion is still on the increase. Unless
something should occur to cut short the
emigration and to stimulate immigra-
ton the net result for the current fiscal
year can but be a loss OF population OF
possibly 100, 900 through this source OF
steamship traffic, which since the war
has always added to our numbers.
There is this to be noted in connection
with this European exodus, that it serves
to relieve American workingmen, in a
measure, from the pressure of competi-
ton with foreign immigrants who had
not yet accustomed themselves to the
standard of life upon this side OF the
water. This, too, at a time when the
demand for employment in our large
cities is greatest and the struggle for
existence among the poor the most
severe. The European laborer is at
tracted to participate in our prosperity,
but is also reluctant to share the ad-
versity which industrial depression
has brought. Many who were assisted
to the United States by the savings of
friends or relatives who had gone be-
fore them are now sending to Europe
for the means which will enable them to
return. They will spread the tidings of
their failures among their acquaintance
at home and years will necessarily
elapse before the economic advantages
OF the United States will be able to over
come the inertia thus created in intend
ing immigrants. In the meanwhile,
with lessencd pressure from incoming
foreigners, the American laborer will be
able to make better Roadway in regain
ing the ground lost during the crisis Of

an EXODUS 20 EUROPE.

To those who have viewed the phe-
nomenon of European immigration to
the United States from the standpoint
of economic theory, it cannot be a mat
ter Of great surprise to learn that the
changed industrial conditions of this
country in the past few months has al
ready resulted in an emigration Offset
ting in numbers the total number of
foreigners who have come here during
the same period. Just as immigration
has been accounted for by the desire of
energetic but discontinued people of
other nations to better their economic
situations, so the emigration hat has
now set in must be explained either by
the disappointment of their hopes or
the attainment of that degree of pros
perity which will permit of a return in
comparative comfort to the native land.
The industrial depression has been
mach more severely felt among the
lower grade of laborers on this side OF
the Atlantic than on the other, and to
them the relative attractiveness of Eu-
rope and America has been practically
reversed.
The statistics from which our infor.
nation regarding the emigration from
the United States is derived are largely
estimates based upon the figures given
by particular steamship lines. But the
steamship authorities claim that what
ever their business has lost in west.
bound Storage traffic ii has more than
made up in eastbound travel, and it is
known that the number of immigrants
arriving at the port of New York has
fallen off nearly two-thirds during the
four months since the close of the last
fiscal year. The number OF immigrants
who came to our shores during the yeal
ending June 30, 1893, was 40, 793, a de.
crease of about % per. cent from the pre-,
ceding year, when it was 6i4,353. But
since July the number has fallen of Sc
rapidly that il the decrease is continued
in even a moderate ratio the net immi
grafton for the year will be nominal only.
The number OF emigrants on the other
hand have been steadily and alarmingl,

Moultrie tho sergeant pointed out tho spot
from which, about half past 4 on Fri
day morning, April ~, 1861, a flash
OF lightning was seen, followed al
most instantly by q deafening roar from
q monster mortar. Edmond Rufin, the
South Carolina fire eater, had fired the shot
That was heard around the world. After
forty hours pom 0ardment the fort had
been battered and torn up by shot
and shell. The upper tier OF easements
ana magazines was on fire and the
smoke and heat were suffocating, but the
gallant commander only yielded after Gem
etal Beauregdrd had granted honorable
terms OF surrender that permitted him to
salute tho flag with 100 guns and march
out with his force with all the honors OF
war.
The next day, when the news of the sur
render of the fort WAS flashed over the
country, the popular outburst of LOYALTY
swept every city, village and hamlet in the
north. The union flag flew out of the WIN
dows ana from every housctop in all the
great cities, and in New York excited
crowds marched through the streets de-
handing that the lukewarm and neutral
should show their loyalty To the union.
For two years after its capture by the
Tontedcrates under General Beaurcgard,
FORT Sumter was comparatively uu.
molested. In April, 1863, Rear Admiral
Dupont assaulted the fort with seven IRON
Clads, but after several days of fierce bom-
bardncnt he was compelled to retire. A
ltW WeehS lNlcr General Gilmore COM
menccd operations from Morris island and
Tor many weeks q rain of shot and shell
was showcred upon Charleston and tho
forts hcld by the rebels. The most
serious damage inflicted on Sumptcr was by
the long range swamp Angel stationed at
Fort Wagner. This gun became the terror
OF the confederate garrison, and when the
fort was finally evacuated on the
18th of April, 1865, four years to a
day after the union flag had been hauled
down, it was a great heap of brick
and mortar and mass of shot and shell.
Will the fort ever again be manned by
troops! That depends on whether we ever
have another war with a foreign power orr
sectional civil war. Sumter commands the
entrance TO Charleston harbor, and ii always
will remain an important point to check in
vasion from abroad.
The tide was against us and tho wind had
gone down. 1t took three hours for our fast
yacht TO go from Sumter to Charleston har-
Dor, and | had barely time to reach the Up.

ALL the bitter denunciation of prize
lighting which was loudly proclaimed
by the governor of Florida when it was
proposed to transfer a bruisers' contest
from New York to that state seems to
have simmered down to a state of mas
terly inactivity upon his part. While it is
by no means certain that the contem-
plated fight will take place as an
nounced, yet the authorities of Florida
have not made the slightest pretense to
interfere with the preparations for it.
The enforcement of the laws would be an
agreeable substitute for buster, which
dies away without results.
