Plays a Neat Trick on a New Tax
Collector.

Plays a Neat Trick on a New Tax
Collector.
Among the number of tax collectors
who have taken the place of A. Mon
tano and who try to get taxes out of
people, particularly Cinnamon and Jap
anese, before they leave for the other
islands, is one who, a short time ago
suffered quite shock to his dignity.
1t was just as one of the large island
steamers was about to leave for Ha-
wall The mail was the only thing
left to go aboard and the captain was
ready at his post.
The tax collector in question was on
the wharf near to the steerage en-
trance of the vessel and was telling
a little japanese what terrible things
would happen to him if he did not pay
his taxes.
The little fellow was something of
an actor and kept fishing down into
his pockets as if his mind had been
made UP to pay his taxes. The tax
collector was watching the pockets and
the Japanese, the steamer.
AS the lines were let go and the
steamer began to back out the efforts
of the Japanese to get at his money
became almost frantic but he failed to
fish up even a dime.
He saw that the steamer had got
about where he wanted and without
further delay, jumped into the steerage
entrance with the tax collector who re-
manned just long enough to see that if
he got any further from the wharf he
would probably take a trip to Hawaii.
AS the steamer backed out the Jap
anese was standing in plain sight still
digging at his pockets while the col
lectOr was suffering a severe mental
strain on the wharf

money that is recognized as real money
on the present single gold Standard
has the government of the United
States? The limit OF the gold reserve is
only S1000 900, or ten per cent. o. the
currency OF the COUNTRY to-day, while
the actual gold now held by the govern
ment is very much less. 1t is no secret
ul,ut c1iare would not be a dollars WORTH
OF gold in the treasury to-day if there
v.ore not a political campaign in pro-
gress. On the present monetary basis
the government OF the United States
has to so to the god ring OF
Europe, or their agenTs in Wall street,
to obtain the wherewithal TO redeem its
own NOES. IN other words, the govern
nent OF the United STAGES to-day is
forced to pay a big premium for it's own
money Of final redemption. Whao "a
f5cts the government this way affects
the people, who ere the government, in
precisely the same way. The farmer CT
the West because OF this condition is
today forced practically 10 give two
for one when he exchanges his products
fer money, and the laborer OF the East
is forced to give TWO fer one when he
exchanges his latcr for money.
1t is the farmer and the labcrer-the
man who doesn't make his living by
clipping god ooupors-who Will be
chiefly benefited by a return to ;Ae
money Of the Constitution Of the United
States. And whatever benefits the pro-
Queer. the laborer, who are ar the foun-
dation Of al real wealth, cannot but
benefit everyone.

BLAINE AGAINST MoNoo-ETALLsM.

4 believe the struggle now going on III
this country and in other countries for "
single gold standard would, If successful
produce widespread disaster in and
throughout The commercial world. The
destruction of silver ami establishing gold
as 4. sole unit OF value must have ruinons
eject upon All forms of property except
those improvements which yield a fixed re-
turn in money. 1t is Impossible 20 strike
silver out OF existence as money without
results which viii prove distressing to
millions and disastrous to teus Of thors-
ands. / believe gold and silver coin to be
the money OF the constitutions indeed the
money OF the American people anterior TO
the constitution, which the great organic
Law recognized as quite independent OF its
own existence. no power was conferred on
Congress to declare either metal should
not be money. Congress has. in my iudg-
ment. no power to demonetize silver any
more t.aa to demonctize gold.-James C.

Silver and the Fall in Prices.

The Philadelphia American, paper
published In a sound money city, but
devoted to the cause Of free coinage, re-
peats, In q recent issue, the stale old as
sertion that it is the adoption OF the
O. marked decline in prices, Without
going into the general question of the
effect which the quantity of money in
o country has on the prices of goods,
it is only needful to point to the fact
that prices have fallen just the same
in countries on O silver basis us IN
those using gold. Wheat Is cheaper in
It is also cheaper in India and Russia,
both silver standard countries-in fact,
1t is largely the competition Of their
;fow-prioed wheat which has brought
down the price OF the American wheat.
Can the American explain why the
