I'm Interesting Statesman.

The official declaration of two
members of the executive committee
which conducted the single tax cam
psign in D~lewsre la 1t Fall to the
effect that Lyman ] Gage, the new.
ly appointed Secretary of the Treas
ury, contributed 500 toward the
expenses OF that campaign, is ex.
ceediogly interesting. 1t confirms
the very general belief cherished in
Chicago that Mr. Gage remains still
"a single taxer. as he was ayowedly a
lew years ago. The atmosphere of a
natlonsi back parlor being decidedly
unfavorabie to independent and radi-
cal thought and expression, he has
q late iefraired from-ioining openly

paign fund shows that McKinley's
Secretary OF the Treasury is still in
sympathy with fiscal policy which
has "a it's very fundamental principle
opposition to any form OF tariff taxa
ton. 1t helps, too, to emphasize the
fact that he voted for Grover Cleve
land in 1884, when tariff reduction
was one of the chief issues of the
campaign.
The Single Takers are to be con
graduated upon securing a spokes-
man in so important post as that
of Secretary Of the Treasury The
incumbent of that position naturally
exerts the greatest influence upon
matters of fiscal legislation, and we
may expect to see Secretary Gsge
throwing all his influence i'm favor of
the abandonment OF tariff taxation.
To doubt that this will be his poll
cy would be to suspect him of aban
coming the onyictions of O lifetime
as result of taking office. 1t is
true that Dir. Gage has been quoted
as favoring the cancellation of the
greenbacks while faith in greenbacks
as scientific money is a corollary
OF the single tax doctrine. But our
admiration for Dir. Gage convinces
us that he has been misquoted. He
cannot have been a single taxer in
ID leware and Protectionist in Hi
nois, Surely we cannot suspect him
of supporting the single tax with his
check book aud opposing It with ibis
voice.

the smoker, but no one could be
found who would say that he did.
The lawyer from the Southwest
was found by State reporter that
afternoon. The reporter asked:
