The San Diego Sun thinks there Is
pretty good argument for the income tax
in the following: There are ll,65O,OOO
families, with an average income OF 1865
that pay 30 per cent Of the taxes In the
United States. It 10 estimated that
25 600 persons in the United States own
among them s3l 800, ,OOO.0jo worth OF
property. Thus 25,OO0 who pay less
than ten per cent of our taxes. own al
most three times as much as the income
of ll,65O,OOO families-not persons.

Free Coinage Charges.

Tho question hns often been put ms
TO what is meant by tho term, "frce
coinage OF silver" The following
statement from an official source will
make it clear. 1t is we'll, however, to
remember that prior to 1873 tho fine
silver could be dcsnosited ut tho
mint in unlimited quantities.
Prior to 1873 coinage charge OF
one-huif cent on each piece coined
was imposed, rs well as n charge for
the alloy it WAS necessary to use TO
reduce the bullion To standard metal.
III 800 ounces OF pure silver were de-
posted ut the mint it would coin GIG
dollars. II would require 50 % oun-
ccs OF copper for alloy, which, at Q
cents m ounce, would cost SILL. II

Gladstone TO Resign

LONDON. Feb. q The evenirp n
News OF Edinburg. aLnouuces, on
what it claims as good authority. that
Gladstone has resigned as Premier,
but viii remain in his place in tho
Cabinet and continue 10 represent
Midlothian. Though following many
contradicted rumors regarding the in
tentions Of great statesmen, it meets
with wide belief in well informed cir
clee, and is causing the greatest ex-
cit"ment and hurried exchange OF
kilograms between II Ieadersand in.
timate advocates. That he has act
ually rendered his resignation is not
counted on so much rs tina: he OK.
pected 10 take such action within the
present week. The reasons assigned
are that II cataract is forming in one
eye which must soon be operated ON,
and the criticism Of the liberal pa apers
on him for not forcing tho fight on
tho House OF Lords. To the Asso-
ciated Press Gladstone's private
secretary would not deny the truth
OF tho public rumor, restrictipg him
sell 10 the statement that it wns
unauthorized.
The evening News this afternoon
saya that tho Premiership has been
rendered to Lord Roseberry, wto de-
cliue0. Later il was ofTarod IN tba
Earl OF Spencer, first Lord OF tho
Admiralty, who accepted.
GladstonO's resignation goes into

NOT MONEY ENOUGH.

A new advocate OF the cause OF the
people has made it's appearance at
Bridgewater. New York, and is en-.
titled The Silver Leaf" Tho fol.
lowing is FROM its columns:
The overwhelming mDjorities
which greets Democrats in every in.
stance where sprins or speeini oiec-
tinns are held. ought 10 teach les.
son. No one will deny that it indi.
Gates dissatisfaction among tho psu.
pc. The triumphant politicians say
it is due u tho record ct thei- oppon-
ents while ia power, but such
statements Of the reason nro too
broad TO be OF any use TO ono looking
for solution OF our national prob
lens.
The Silver Leaf has tho advantage
OF being independent in politics. 1t
can therefore, point out tho true
cause for the "lnndslides" without
fear OF party bosses or having to go
to headquarters for brains. When
Cleveland Nas elected tho last time
there was such 4 political upheavaI
as had never before been kIo yn, ard
since that election things are going
the other way. No Que out the pro.
fessionnl politician is satisfied with
the general condition Of things. Dis.
satisfaction reigns supreme. With
either party in power the financial
s.ringency und stagnation OF busi-
ness becomes worse.
Tho true cause ot tho depression
and discomfort is duo To the condi-
tion OF our currency. With our gold
oil gone, and not enough TO begin
with, md the supply Of silver money
completely chokod of, there il Meth
ing to stop the contraction OF tho
currency. With less morey, with
which TO carry on business, and
hurder work To got tSat money, il is
no wonder that tho people are dis
satistieu. So long us We lack money
necessary for ordinary trade, tho ID
Sue before tho people is not whether
tho Democrats or tho Republicans
Wow the tar.T from the proper point,
but to pTo.ido suitable and suf-
h,iont currency. Enough gold is out
OF the question. 1t does not exist.
Give uH Tho next hes; thing, silver,
md plenty OF it, and prosperity and
contcutnont will return TO US.
