The Coin" Scare.

Nothing in modern bookmsking has
created so profound an influence on the
public mind as "Coin's Financial
School," AT first the gold bugs rolled
their Dslls-three Of them--and SneeEed
at it with contempt. Then they ridi-
culed it, and at last panic stricken at
the prairie fire it had started, they try
TO answer it-and the mails are over
loaded with 'rsplies" sent grRtuitously
to names on matrimonial, lottery and
green goods lists in the hands Of advsr.
tisiDg agencies.
One Of these is called "Coin's Finsn.
oisl Fool" by Horace White, the semi
foreigner whom even Joe Medill kicked
out of the Chicago Tribune, and Bel
mont brought into the Evening Post,
under his own shadow. The very title
"fool'' shows the man is off his balance,
for that is always an argument from
passion or personal consciousnesS-aS
the case may be, Such words as "fool,"
"fslse," "clsptrsp," and like expressions
with which this "reply" is lsrded only
prove il no reply at all-only panic
scare.
But this is not why we notice this,
but to refer to one Of the most delicious
bits Of humor in all modern literature
that is, il this thing is literary, II will
be remembered that the argument Of
Coins book is in the form OF a supposed
school, and questions are put into the
mouths Of assumed schOlsrs-names fs.
miliRr to the public, as Lyman 9. Gage,
the widely known banker; Professor
Lsughlin, young Msdill and Scott, Of
the Tribune and Herald; John r. Walsh
and others; and the argument is in the
answers to the questions thus pro-
pounded.
The humor Of this reply Of Horace
White is that letters ere printed
on the title page from such men as
Gage, Walsh and Lsughlin, grsvsly
stating over their signatures that they
"never attended such q school and
never asked such questions at all" Was
ever anything seen half so oomiosl as
these lettersP They tell as nothing else
could tell the fright, panic and scare Of
the gold trust over this little book. We
doubt il there is 8 bright 10yesr old
school boy who did not see the drift Of
the "school" and the questions Of the
scholars-so apt as a means Of convey.
ing the argument that itself was stroke
of genius. But to put out these grave
certificates is only another evidence Of
now profoundly ignorant these money
lords and their vslets are az to popular
intelligence. - Kansas City journal

Camros and Ills Camnaien.

1t is very easy for General Campos in
Madrid to map out Il vigorous campaign
in Cuba, but when he lands on the
island he will probably fiji many diff
cultieS in his way.
All sanitary experts agree that the I'M
acclimated Spanish troops viii speedily
fall victims to the yellow fever From
the time they land they viii be gagged
in a struggle for life with the plague.
Thousands will die in the swamps ana
in the hospitals Or recover only to be
sent back TO Spain unfit for active duty.
This has been the history of past reyolu-
tons in Cuba, and there is no reason to
expect anything different now.
The islar ars are proof against the
fever, and they count on it rs one of
their defensive factors. They are con
lident that it win XIII ten Spaniards
where their bullets Kill one, and that it
win keep the invaders in panic from
first to last
Unfortunately, when the yellow fever
finds host of fresh victims in Cuba it
RACES with unusual activity and spreads
to our shores. Our south Atlantic and
@ulf ports are IN constant danger when
yellow jack is holding high carnival
on the island, and our experience in the
past should warn our state and federal
health officials to take every reasonable
precaution without delay TO prevent
the peStilence from reaching our shores.
One of the worst viSitationS the south
ever had was in 1876, right on the heels
of a long period of depression, and
repetition Of the calamity this year
would be n terrible blow.
While the Spaniards are fighting the
fever and the revolutionists we must
prepare TO defend ourselves against the
plague 10y barring it out. From now
on the less communication we have with
Cuba the better. If we cannot fence
the island in, let us at least try to fence
it out.

Tho IucOme Tax

The administration is considering the
policy it shall pursue If the supreme
court decides the income tax law to be
unconstitutional
1t is estimated that the tax will yield
about $15,000,000 during the present
year. If the law is declared unconsu-
tutiOnal some provision must be maze
for meeting the deficiency. Late wash
ington dispatches say that Mr.. CleYe-
land is in favor of calling congress to-
gether in extra session, rather than issue
$15,000,000 of bonds.
This matter is very gravely discussed
by some of the financial newspapers,
but the fact is that if there is a deficit
of revenue, Mr.. Cleveland has no au-
thority to issue bonds to meet it. lie
can do as he did before, use the gold
reserve to meet the ordinary expenses
Of the government and then issue bonds
to fill out the reserve. But there is no
law under which he can issue bonds for
the purpose of meeting a deficiency in
the revenue.
1t is the impression of those who make
it a business to study such matters that
there win be n deficiency of revenue
even if the income tax is declared to he
constitutional. The tariff law which
was fashioned wholly to please eastern
democrats and republicans-the gang of
tories who wrecked the country and
the democratic party by blocking finan-
cial legislation in the interest of the
peoples not a revenue measure. 1t
is 4 wretched mixture of high protec-
ton and free trade. and is not at all
what the people hoped for. 1t would be
harmless in good times, but it will not
provide suiticicncy of revenue if the
business of the country is compelled to
conform 10 the narrow basis of gold
recommendation

"Coin's Financial school"

From The Chicago Record.
The sale of his books has reached figures
which appear incredible, but the fact that
more than 250,G0O copies of COINS FL
nancial School, and "a Tale of Two Ma
tons" have been sent out of Chicago
each month for some months past is
vouched for by the several news companies
which handle his publca tons. Over 10000
volumes day have been sold for the last
month, and the geographical distribution
of this free silver literature discloses the
fact that silver already is of dominant in
terest east of the Mississippi river.
The books of the shipping clerk show that
Michigan has received more than 1850
of Mr.. Harveys books a day since March

in Chicago early in 1898 ii attracted little
attention. 1t gained some strength when
it presented a pamphlet on 'Blmetallism
and Monometallsm," written by Arch
bishop Walsh of Dublin, Ireland. This
was followed by MIR. Harvey's Elementary
Principles of Money and then Coins
Financial School, was brought out. The
last book issued in the series was "a Tale
OF Two Nations" a financial novel, and
this book has been dramatized and the
production, with living pictures, will be
placed in a few weeks on Chicago stage.
1t was the marvellous success of Mr..
Harvey's free silver books which assisted
in directing the attention of western silver
