SILVER CERTIFICATES CANNOT BE
TAXED.

Mr.. Editor.-O On the 9th day Of
July, 1891 | addressed letter to the
State Treasurer, d. W. Balm, in
which | stated the fact that In list
ing my taxes, on the 10th day of
June last, refused to list for taxes
two ten-dollar silver certificates that
were in my possession on the first OF
June, as being exempt, from taxa
ton, and that the Commissioners of
this county had the matter before
them. | cited section 3701. Sab of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, and asked for his decision,
which he gives in the following
letter:
Raleigh, N. c.. July 81, 1891.
A. L. Swinson, Esq, Goldsboro,
n. c.:
Dear Sir:-Yours of the 9th inst,
received. Section 370l of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States
says:
"All stocks, bonds, treasury notes
and other obligations of the United
States shall be exempt from taxation
by or under State or municipal or
local authority"
The Act Of Congress approved
February 18th, 1873, defines the
foregoing section as follows.
1.-The words :obligation or other
security of the United States shall
be held to mean all bonds, certifca-
ties of Indebtedness national bank
currency, coupons, United States
notes, fractional notes, certificates of
deposit, bills, checks or drafts for
money drawn by or upon authorized
officers of the United States, stamps
amp other representatives of value.
of whatever denomination, which
have or may be issued under any act
of Congress-
l answer your inquiry as fol-
lows:
Ii notes are in the personal posses
sion of the holder or owner on the
first day of June and not on deposit
to his credit in bank, they are not tax
able.
If, however, they are on deposit
in bank TO the credit of the holder or
owner, they are taxed as solvent ere
dit. Our Supreme Court has SO de-
cieded.
Very Respectfully,
D. w. Balm, State Treasurer.
The language of the above letter
is plain and cannot be misunder-
stood. 1t is evident that there is no
paper currency that is liable for tax
es when in possession of the owner
on the first day of June in circula-
ton in the United States, unless it
| be either State bank issue, private
bank or foreign paper currency,
| neither has there been for over TWEEN
ty years. Still our people are yearly
gulled into paying tax on what I'M
taxable money they are fortunate
enough to have, through ignorance
of the law.
Publish this for the special benefit
of we poor ''hayseed' dibblers and
TO, ward it along the line. Educate
the masses and with it will come
equal right to all and special pri-
veleges to none"
Abbott L. Swinson.

A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE,
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
EomanhoOd. Following is an instance: "Our
laughter, Blanche, now 10 years of age had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, a nd
nad lost the entire use of her right arm. Size
was IN such condition that we had to keen
her from school and abandon her music les
spns In fact we feared st. Vitus dance, and

She would have had that terrible affection
We had gloyed physicians, but she received

she weighed but 20 pounds, and although she
has taken only three bottles Of Nervine she

symptoms of St.Vitus dance ire entirely gone

It's the instinct of self preserya-
ton that nerves a rat to desert a
sinking ship. It's sense of self-re-
spect and common decency that
nerves the New York Sun, New York

timore Sun, the Louisville Courier
Journal, the Chicago Herald, st.
Louis Republic and Kansas City
Times, New York World, Harpers

Is it not a little strange that some
of the newspapers that had reporters
at Greensboro, have not published
Congressman Bryan'sspeech? They
not only have not published the
speech but some of them are growl-
ing because the speech was delivered.
This leads US to believe that it as an
honest argument in favor of bime-
talliSm with no demoguery or Ian
guage of doubtful meaning in it.

WHAT THE SENATE COSTS YOU

We find the following in the ed
ditorial column of the Wilmington
Star of May goth:
"The Chicago Inter Ocean figures
out that it costs "about $4,000 day
TO pay the salaries of the do-nothing
Senators" This must be Chicago
figuring. Lightweight Senators at
SIC a day will not figure out $4,000
by jugful. But as they are paid
blythe year Uncle Sam goes along
aud foots the bill whether they do
nothing or something"
There now, the Star has slipped
up again. If the editor of that pa
per had read The CAUCASIAN for
the last three weeks he would have
seen that each Senator costs the peo-
pie 20 times as mach as his salary.
When Congress voted to hire clerk
at $4,000 IL month for each mem
Der at your expense, the Star did not
publish the fact, and probably did
not known it till the editor read it in
The CAUCASIAN.

TWO VIEWS ON THE ALABAMA sTRA
DALE.

"The Democrats of Alabama are
straddlers Of no mean order when
they can cover with the same appro-
val the chasm between the President
of the United States aud the senior
Senator from Alabama. "-Louisville
Courier-J ournal.
THE CAUCASIAN endorses this
view.
The idea in Alabama is evidently
to throw the doors of the party
church so wide open that there will
be no excuse for any man to 60 as
tray. The Democratic party is a
catholic institution anyhow. Who
ever undertakes to hold it down it
down to rigid lines and set rules mis-
takes its composition, its principles
and its purposes. ''-Greenville Is.
CO. News.
The Charlotte Observer endorses
this view in its issue of May 29th,
In short the party has no political
convictions and can be made up of
men of opposing political views just
as well as of men of similer views
and principles. 1t is because it is
such a party, that it is now doing
worse than nothing in Congress.

The Chairman of the Peoples
Party Ex. Com. of one of the coun-
ties of this State has written us a
letter under date of May 24th saying
that several times he has heard the
report chat there was jealousy be-
tween the leaders of the Peoples
party, and that Butler, Skinner and
Thompson were already at dagger's
points" There is not a word of
truth in the above report. We don't
know that the above named parties
should be styled leaders of the Peo-
pies party any more than dozens of
other men who have devoted their
time and efforts to build up the re-
form movement. But of one thing
we are certain and that is, the three
gentlemen named are on the best and
most confidential terms, both per-
sonally and politically, and any one
of them are ready to do anything
that will advance the cause of re-
form, even to the extent of giving up
any personal ambition that any of
them may have.
