NOW TO RAISE REVENUE.

The New York Worlds idea about
raising any additional revenue needed
N stated as follows:
There are about 100000 liquor deal
ers in the United States. An addition
Of SIS to the internal revenue license
Of each would yield $l,259000 a year
Of additional revenue.
There are "a, 293,124 gallonse of wine
and spirits consumed annually in the
country. An addition of I0 cents q
gallon to the tax would yield a revenue
Of $2, 12o, 312.4o.
There are 1886, 319,222 gallons Of beer
drunk in the United States every year.
An extra tax of five cents galloH,
which would not add at all to the re-
tail price, would yield a revenue Of
SCI .St5,9 61 a year.
The Government needs the money.
Every cent paid in such taxes would
go into the Treasury, which is not
true Of any tariff levy Such taxes
would not lay any burden whatever
upon consumption They would not
add one cent TO any mans expendi-
lures for the necessaries of life. They
would make good the revenue deficien-
CIV and provide amply for the fortifica-
ton and arming of our coasts.
Why should not Congress levy some
such taxes as these?

The Greensboro Patriot Thinks They
Were Charged Up to Miss CelIaneons.

Referring 70 the report from Winston
that Sharpe Leak, Dancy, Settle and
other Dockery workers got /. 900 mile
tickets on the Southern Railway at
the same time Holton got his, the
Greensboro Patriot says
How is this? Our devil. who is an
inquisitive sort Of fellow, as all dew
us are, asked IL we supposed these
tickets were paid for In the language
Of the late Josiah Turner. if we had a
Squire who was authorized TO send for

You don't need to go far to find out
Put it down that they were not paid

way of working such things which re-

hibition towns. 4 fellow buys and

draw from the convention" appeared
in these columns, and these gentle
men desire their reply to the Charlotte
Observers criticisms also to appear
here
While differing with these gentlemen
in the position they take, we are free
to confess that they make an argu-
ment that has great weight in it. We
cannot bring ourselves to believe the
National Convention viii make a gold
declaration, or nominate q gold candi-
date.
These advocates Of silver ought
10 make no threat Of boiling. There
is no kind Of doubt, says Senator Har-
ris, about their having a majority Of
the Convention. 1T II certain that the
gold men cannot nominate a candidate
under the two thirds rule, and can
never get gold platform from the
committee which will be composed Of
one from each State.
There IS one paragraph in the letter
thai all 81 US ought to adopt:

country will not desert the party IN

Loss within five years, SOC, 408, 900
''Thus we see that in the race for the
possession Of gold within this period
the European banks have increased
their holdings from 1910, 1900, 900 in De-
.eember, 1890, to 81 ,532, 100000 in 1895,
cor a gain of 1851 100000, while our
chief repositories have lost 100000, 200.
Europe not only relieved us of this
amount Of gold, but of all the gold pro-
duced during that period within our
borders not consumed here in the arts.
The production Of gold in the United
states in the years 1so1-2-3-4 and 5, ac-
cording to Wells, Fargo & Co.'S esti-
mates was S189, 100000.
These figures tell tale Of gold
grabbing in Europe, distrust there of
American securities and their return
here in vast quantities, Of immense
sums spent abroad by travelling Amer
leans, large payments to foreign ship
owners for passengers and freight, and
of the utter lack of any power in the
American banks and treasury to at
tract and accumulate gold. The
scramble for gold, which has been
a rnonomania in Europe, is doubtless
the result of the general preparations
for war by the great State banks, par
ticularly those of France, Germany
and Russia"

THERE is no installing sheriff Ryau's
attitude on the silver question. Ever
since the committee meeting last spring,
he and his follows have been claiming
opposition to Mcconnell and friendship
for Dubois; but the sheriff threw aside
his mask the other day and appeared in
his true colors. He no longer poses as II
dubois silver man, but has joined the
ranks of the ways and means commit
tee" II is fortunate that he made this
declaration before the holding OF the
county convention, otherwise he might
have deceived the delegates; now there
is no danger. The Kootenai Herald, OF
last week, contained the substance of the
sheriiFs declarations at Bonner's Ferry,
and it is such interesting reading at this
particular time that We republish il in
this issue OF the Pass. The sheriff is
undoubtedly anxious to have the people
know where he stands. Among other
things he charges the Pass and Herald
with being susceptible to "boo3le." Ii
he knows this 20 be true he must be the
"boodler.' He can make poor Eost his
subservient slave, becaue lie holds a
chattle mortgage on the Blade office;
but the other papers OF the county are
more fortunate, and when he talks of
bribin= them, the wish is father to the
thought.
