TRADE REVIEW.
Business Still backward, hut There Arc
Some Good Stgnp.

Business Still backward, but There Ara
Some Good stgns.
New YORK, Jan. 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade says:
There are some good signs, but they
do not as yet extend to business gen
orally. which hes:tates much IS it has
for months. Gold continues TO go
abroad, IS, $50, 900 having gone this
week, and the deficit Of revenue is al
ready over so, 500, 900 for the month.
This state Of facts, with the failure OF
congress to make provision for borrow
ing, or for increasing the revenue, still
operates to retard q wholesome recov-
cry, and the volume OF domestic trade
represented by exchanges through the
clearing houses is again about per
cent. larger, than last year, as it was in
the Slrst week Of the month, but is 80. !
per cent. smaller than two years ago, a
higher rate of decrease than for some
time past.
Exports from New York for two
weeks of January have fallen but
slightly behind last years, while inn
ports are about 81, zoo, COO larger, owing
mainly to the increase in dry goods.
Failures this year to January 10
were in amount OF liabilities S4.529o ,53l,
of which S1,133,42s were of manufac'
turing and 50, $50, 1903 of trading con.
Germs.
Failures for the week have been 37a
in the United States, against 4o7 last
year, and so in Canada, against 46 last
vear"

Aphoristic Argument.


A delicate predicamentp is aeon
dition, not theory.
To increase our bonded indebted,
ness rather than the revenue has al
ways been true democratic policy.
The present tariff law has thor,
oughly demonstrated that it is a fail
lure. 1t is unable to produce suffi
cient revenue to support the govern.
ment.
Utah's wool clip has these past two
seasons averaged less than half the
price that it easily brought while tho
Mckinley law was in force. "rhis is
n democratic year
Republican politicians who busy
themselves with putting up jobs
against the Mckinley protection
ideas, will in due time find them
selves at the down end of the cellar
door full of slivers.
Contract the currency and increase
the national debt is the presidents
remedy for his administrations ills
As new method for paying old
debts, it is worthy the attention Of
all bankrupts.

present year, is students In the uni
versity. Three of these are taking
the law course, which branch is said
to be self-susta.ning, and needs moth
ing from the tax. Therefore, deduct
these from the total, and we have -
students receiving the benefit Of the
s3,089.8O tax paid by the county,
nearly 1898 per student. And what
do these 10 students get for the 1928
each that the people Of this county
pay? Simply and only tuition. Each
OF these students has to provide his
or her own books, board, clothes and
incidental expenses, and In addition,
each pays to the university mana
gers about $40 fees. OF course it will
be answered that any number from
Iowa county might attend the uni
versity on the same aggregate tax.
This Is true only in theory. In prac-
tice it is a cruel fallacy. Only those
can attend the university who can
meet the necessary expense Of their
maintenance there, and whose SER
vices are not necessity In some
gainful employment That class is
but small minority Of the youth of
the county, hence the tax is newt
ably upon the greater number for the
personal benefit of the lesser, and at
variance with the spirit of American
government. To say that the tax on
individuals is infinitismal in amount
weighs nothing. 1t is said that the
tea which the sturdy Americans
threw into Boston harbor would have
been cheaper to them after paying
the insignificant tax imposed than
any other they could get. The '.Bos-
ton tea party was held just the same,
however, in defence Of an American
principle.
Another evidence of the inequity
of the university tax and for the pres
ent we must leave the fruitful sub
ject: Dane county, which pays ac-
cording TO value of property for the
maintenance Of the university as do
other counties, has 334 students in the
institution, aside from the law class.
Over 800 of these are residents of the
city Of Madison. If the tax upon that
city per student were the same as up
on Iowa county, then Madison would
pay over $4,000 of the university tax.
The large number of Madison youth
attending the university Is creditable
to the city. But it most strikingly
illustrates the inequitable working
of the policy of taxing the entire
state for the support Of the institu-
ton. A young mau of Madison gets
the benfits of the university at a cost
to the taxpayers Of that city not ex-
ceeding $50, while the tax payers in
some other parts of the state are pay
ing $500 to secure the same benefits
for one of their young men. Is that
equal taxation?
These utterances may be unani-
mously voted unworthy Of a Wis
consin paper ut the full-dress ban
quet of the immaculate university
alumni association, when it next
meets to give another forward turn
to "the wheels Of civilization and adj
vancement,n for there is little hope
of blocking the wheels" in alumni
heads.
