From the same source that first pro-
ceeded the cry for war and the cry that
the financial interests Of the country
were preventing the plain people from
protecting the nations honor now comes
a howl Of indignation that the money to
carry on the war IS 10 be raised by levy
ing a tax on the poor mans cup Of tea.
Take it out OF the income OF the rich"
is the cry. which is nothing more nor
less than a demand that the entire eX-
pense Of the war be borne by the rich
men Of the land for it is well understood
that this proposed income tax is not tax
upon all incomes. but only upoh those
in excess of 5000.
There you have an expression OF that
dangerous revolutionary spirit to which
We have referred more than once of late
in these columns. It IS q spirit Of COM
munism and is TO be viewed with alarm.
1t is not enough that war shall come
but it must be carried on only at the ex-
pense of the rich.
There IS much more I'm this war with
Spain than a desire either 90 free cuba
or TO avengc the Maine disaster.

GOLD BEGINS TO MOVE.
Indications That Importation is to Be
Resumed..

New York, July 2S-The Tribune says:
Although this is about the time of year
for engaging gold for import the news
from London that $4,000 had been taken
from the Bank of England indicates
that the movement in this direction is
likely to begin sooner than was general
ly expected. Ihis $4,000 is the first
shipment Of gold that has been engaged
since the second week in May. There
was stiffening of rates for sterling. eX-
change caused by the advance in the
discount rates in London. 1t was said
by some of the foreign bankers that
there was no profit in importing gold
at a rate less than / S174 per pound sterIs
ing. 1t was asserted that present con-
ditions pointed to heavy importatiOns of
gold this fall.
Complaint is made by some of the
foreign bankers that the new war reve-
nue. act is favOring the Canadian banks.
1t was pointed out that the agents of
the Canadian banks sells sterling ex-
change in this city drawn in Canada
and payable in London. AS the new
law does not require a stamp for such
drafts there is a gain of a quarter of a
cent on a pound sterling which, where
large amounts are involved, amounts to
