TAX SALE LAW.
Bill Sent to Congress to Correct
It's Defects.

The Commissioners sent to Congress yes
terday report upon the bill framed 10y
the attorney for the District, the assessor
and the collector, and which was intro
duced at the last session with the Com
missioners' sanction, to amend the law in
relation to tax sales.
The question was recently treated at
great length by several of the District Of
ficials, in their annual reports, and later
by the Commissioners, the fact being
pointed out that som, taxpayers have per-
mitted their property to become ieiin-
uuent as a means of saving money, since
the holding could only be sold for enc
years taxes; though there might nave ac-
cumulated againstit the taxes and penal

THE bill which passed the House
of Representatives the other day, to

THE bill which passed the House
of Representatives the other day, to
restrict immigration, is Q wise meas
nee, .srA although it does not go far
enough, it is a step in the right di-
rection. Some of the amendments
which were proposed, but defeated,
should have been adopted, especially
the one excluding foraign laborers,
skilled and unskilled. As matters
are now, the foreigner has an advanr
tage over the native every time, and
it is curious that the labor organiza-
dions, which are clamoring for the
exclusion Of foreign workmen, do
rot take some steps to protect Amer
lean boys from the competition of
foreigners, while the effort is being
anade 40 exclude all foreign labor.
Under the present system of limiting
the number of apprentices, Ameri-
lean boys find it difficult to learn ii
trade, and are forced to become
tramps, while the foreign worker
oyDas To this country, joins the
unions and passes laws to keep the
American boy from working, 1t is
tiWe the American wage workers
should join together to right this
great wrong. 1t is time they stood
by the American boy to rescue him
from becoming tramp. The regu-
lations about apprentices and the OBJ
jections to trade schools are weak
points about labor unions which
should be remedied. Trade schools
should be encouraged, and it should
be made a requisite of admission to
q aaber union that the applicant has
graduated from them, just as the
doctor Or lawyer mpst show his di-
ploma before he can practice. The
business of carpenter, blacksmith
or other mechanic is just as honora-
pile as that of lawyer or physician.
Why, then, should it not be surroun
ded with equal restrictions? Under
the presept system Americon boys
are side-tracked for foreigners who
despise the country, care nothing for
PTS Welfare, its history nor its future.
Ameg4ean labor is cutting its own
throat.

BlMETALLTSM.

Bimetallism does not mean the use
Of two metals as currency, where one
is simply the representative of the
other. If 1T did our currency to-day
would not be bimetallism, for we use
gold, silver, copper, nickel and pa
per. But all the forms of currency
are based upon the one metal-gold
so our system is monometallic. BIZ
metallism means the concurrent use
of two metals as basis for currency
issue. at legalized ratio Of parity.
That is, the government establishes
a money basis Of gold and silver re-
cognizing their use as money on
equal terms at given ratio. In
doing this it does not attempt to adj
just commercial value, leaving that
for the natural law of supply and
demand to do. Neither does it agree
to give one metal in exchange for the
other at that or any other proportion.
1t simply declares what shall be un
derstood as its money terms, and
leaves the field where it is now in the
banking and exchange business.

The democratic Cuban plank may
be IN accord with the neutrality laws
governing our relations with foreign
powers, and as recently interpreted
by President Cleveland, but it does
not express American patriotism,
When neighboring governments
chance for independence is so situ-
ated that single word from Wash
lngton can procure it, chere ought
TO be no question as to which party
should answer, but the whole nation
should arise and helpNhe struggling
pesl,le obtain their liberty. No ma
tion, more than America, knows the
priceless worth Of independence, and
no nation better than it should know
the unmeasurable value of aid.
Between the two Cuban planks we
prefer the republican one, inasmuch
as it is truer to American sentiment,
and should that perty be elected, we
hope it will carry out its declaration
to the letter. But because we take
this position on this great question
of moment does not mean that we
shall vacate the democratic party,
overwhelm it with abuse or urge the
necessity of new party to keep the
country from going to perdltion.
But our boiling friends should not
find fault with the sympathetic
plank )" it is as though their leader,
Grover Cleveland, himself had die
tated ii, and whatever democrats may
choose 10 say about it, boilers can
not decry it or give it as even the
faintest excuse for their course,
The democratic plank, we are
sorry to say, is expressionless and
meaningless, and its sympathy can
not aid Cuba one jot in its struggle
for independence.
