One of the most important provisions
of the agreement adopted by the recently

rules as laid down by the pool and the

sufficient to dissipate the profits on any

somewhat eel conscious East But II proved
that In the West well as in the East the
bicycle is creating new social problems. the So
luton OF which Will call for the highest wisdom.
Nor is II In this country only that the revolving

THE BORDER STATES.

It Is profitable to review the chances OF sue
cess If an uncOmpromising platform, for an
unchanged standard OF money and against sill
yer coinage be adopted at St Louis with Nc
Kinley the candidate. 1t may be assumed that
all the opponents Of Protection ana all the ad
vOcates Of free coinage will strive hard to get
together, knowing that they cannot win on
either issue without such union That will be
the object OF q non cOmmittal declaration at
st. Louis which seems no longer possible. nor
does It seem possible that any such declaration
would enlist for the Democratic party the sup.
port Of silver extremists and also of hard
money Democrats at the West. 1t may as well
be reckoned that the Chicago Convention will
try to satisfy the silver men and Topusts. hop.
ing that the tariff issue will hold the hard.
money Democrats.
Taking the least hopeful possibilities first,
let 1t be assumed that all the POpulists can be
brought to support the regular Democratic
ticket by fusion or otherwise. and all the Re
publicans who care more for free silver than
for anything else That, II Is commonly pre-
sumed would transfer to the Democratic side
all the silver States, but even then IL would
not win unless the solid block Of Republican
States between the Atlantic and the western
borders OF the Dakotas could be broken. The
only important States in which the Repub-

TIX1TION " ERlNCE.

The straits to which even so thrifty a nation
as France is put 10 bear the burdens OF mill
tarsm are strikrlgly shown in the scheme Of
tax reform proposed by the present Minister
Of Finance The former Ministry, it will be re-
membered, committed itself to Il Socialist in
come tax, which was repugnant to the best
Republican sentiment in Parliament NJ. Me-
line on succeeding NJ. Bourgeois, announced
that that project would be dropped We are
now enabled to see what his Finance Minister,
NJ. Cookery, has devised as substitute for 1t.
NJ Cochcry's object is not to increase the
revenue from direct taxation but SO to alter
the system Of levying and collecting 1t as to
make the burdens more equal and less Onerous.
The amount Of taxation he has decided to SHIFT
Is no less than $37,400,OO0. He will abolish the
door and window tax, and the house and fur
niture tax, $30,OOO.0OO reduce the land tax TO
AZ per cent wherever It Is now above that rate,
81 900 OOO and reduce the taxation on mort
gagged property, S5400OO0 In place of these
he will increase from $40 to Az per cent tho
tax on incomes from house property, which
will, he reckons, produce S3GOOOOU; levy Az
per cent tax incomes from mortgages,
81, 800 900; increase the coupon tax from TO
Az per cent. and extend it to French Rentes,
foreign Government bonds and other securities,
ST.. 900. 600; and impose new general In
come" tax based on the amount Of house rent
paid the number Of servants and horses kept,
and the size Of the town, S1S.20OO0O.
This aforementioned tax will probably prove
the crucial feature Of the scheme 1t Is sub
stantially identical with NJ. Burdeau's proposal
Of two years ago. In the country persons pay
ing not more than So. or In some places $12 q
year rent and in Paris not more than $50. will
be exempt from the tax. For married house
holders the limit OF exemption will be 80 per
cent higher than for unmarried and the tax
will be reduced on a graduated scale for large
families. For every female servant the tax
will be increased by s per cent, and for every
manservant and for every horse by 10 per cent.
1t is reckOned that of the 1O,JO0,OO households
in France 100000 will be exempt When NJ.
Burdeau preached 1t this scheme was almost
universally condemned. 1t is to be seen
whether 1t will now be more favorably re-
| garded
