SHIFTING THE TAXES.

Ono Way to Make Them Pay.

With magnificent dash and laudable
promptness the express companies have
solved the war tax problem so far as
their corporations are concerned. They
have concluded that it is best for all
concerned that the people should pay
the tax. 1t will be observed that there
has been no pernicious delay In this
matter. Neither false modesty nor
pulling patriotism have prompted the
express companies to consider for
single moment the appropriateness OF
their paying the tax imposed by an op-
pressive and ineonsiderate congress
upon their business. When 1t Is re-
membered that the tax on an express
package, big or little, is the enormous
sum of one cent it can, readily be un-
derstood that as they clearly state:
"The payment of this amount would
take so large a proportion of the COM
panies' net revenue that 1t would De
impossible for them to assume the bur-
den." OF course, it would be cruel TO
drive the poor, struggling, philanthropy
ic express companies out OF business
and the people, therefore, will cheer
fully, even gratefully, pay the extra
cent which the law says the express
companies shall pay But with mag
nifcent generosity these common
carriers have granted one boon to the
people who send express packages

"Yet you do not hold that we should

Ear from entertaining such an opin-

TINT there are circumstances which
may make it imperative Tor us to go

must do this in a, way not to violate the

fortunate for us that new conditions
have arisen to teach us the necessity
we are under of providing for our fleets

we may have stores of fuel and sup

navigation and the dangers Of war
not to be governed by the civil au-
thority Of the United States, without
being included in our territorial limits
by annexation. The cause of the war
with Spain is her inability to govern

countries, or so as to prevent those who
respect humanity in its plalnest rights

Patent once Monopolies.

No machinery was ever invented but
what it contained the ideas of men
long since dead and which were nee
essary to the inventor.
The patent office Of the United States
should be abolished. It Is relic OF
barbarism. The theory of the patent
law is that 1t gives legal status to
monopoly by giving to the inventor let
ters of patent as did Charles the First
of England give letters patent to his
mistresses and prostitutes. granting to
them certain monopolies. While CIV
ing the inventor monopoly for seven
teen years the government also is sup
posed to delegate to him piece Of its
sovereign power to prevent IIny one
else from initiating his invention.
Thus it is in theory, but In practice

to the capitalist or possessor Of money

The decisive blow for the gold stand
ard was struck by Germany after the
overthrow of France.
AS the spoil Of victory Germany re-
eeived an enormous indemnity, and her
government, perhaps unconsciously,
was propelled along the path which led
toward the enhancement Of her treas
ure. The act of July 8, 1873, complet-
ed the provisions for the issue Of the
new gold money, and for the melting
and sale Of the old silver coin.
On Sept. 6, 1873, France, to limit the
amount Of metal which might thus be
thrown on her minis, imposed the first
restriction on the free coinage of sill
yer; and in 1876 the Latin union ceased
striking 5-fraIlc pieces.
The whole strain Of the commerce OF
Europe and the United States was thus
by degrees transferred from the old
composite monetary substance to gold
| alone, and, as Lord 0verstone had fore
told twenty years before, 1t began
slowly and surely to rise in value.
| Silver, however, was still in full use
throughout the East, and the natural
increase Of the demand from those
countries appears to have steadied 1t:

INDIAN GOLD STANDARD.

Assuming that a gold standard
with gold money is the object to be
aimed at In India, If it is to have gold
standard at all, what are the difficulties
in the way?
The general difficulty is that India
Is both a poor and heavily indebted
country, having large remittances to
make annually in payment of interest
and dividends to foreign creditor
countries, and chiefly to England. with
a gold standard.
Such a country, II 1t has the same
money as the creditor country, can
only retain it with difficulty. By the
necessity Of the case the exchange Is
chronically against it. People in India
and the government itself with money
to remit seek bills on England on
which. accordingly, there is a premium
What the nature Of this premium Is Is
very we'll explained in Mr.. Bagehot's
papers on the silver question.
The result of such premium in 9
debtor country having a gold money
the same as its creditor country is thai
the gold tends to go away. It Is thu
most ready asset to send, far preferable
to goods.
In other words, then, there Is likely
TO be steady drain OF currency from
debtor country like India IL its cur
rency is the same as the creditor coun
try, England, and this steady drain vii

till the situation becomes intolerable.
This is the general rationale OF tn
statement so often made in the cit,
that some countries are too poor /

erty merely that makes the difficulty
but poverty combined with heavy in
debtedness.
The gold money in such case stead

currency. whether Of paper of othe

Glee Club will hold its annual meeting.
when a very important proposition VIII
come up for discussion. 1t is in reference
to the financial condition of the club. For
some years there has been a deficiency
at the end of the season. The expenses
are heavy in connection with the CON
certs and the subscriptions have not kept
pace with the expenditures. The Exec
utive Committee, which met at Vice
President Tenants house a few nights
ago went into the subject very thor
oughly and decided that the only way
our of the difficulty was to raise the
subscription from IS to S. per year. Some
wanted it 81. but a compromise was eff
fected on SIS. The proposition will be
submitted at Mondays meeting, with a
report on the finances Of the club; The
next important thing will be the election
of a president. The present head of the
club, Mr.. John T.. Voorhees,. declines TO
accept the honor for another term, and
the members are heartily sorry, for he
has been an exceedingly able director of
the club's destInies and is deservedly re-
spected and popular not only in the club
but out of it. The sConcertmeister' will
be Induced to change his mind. Should.
however, Mr.. Voorhees, decline the posi-

CAMDEN, May Z, ~1S9S.-United States
Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, who was
recently nominated by President McKin-
ley as major general of volunteers, ar
rived at his home in Camden last evening,
shortly after s O'Clock. The fact that
his name was not among those sworn IN
at Washington yesterday gave color to
the belief that he had decided not to ac-
cept the position which was offered to
him.
The Senator was much fatigued when
he arrived at his home, and ne at once
retired without even speaking OF the
matter to his family. An effort was
made to see him last evening. but ms
fatigued condition made an interview
Impossible. An urgent telegram, 1t was
said at his home, had arrived from New
York, but it was deemed best not to
arouse him, even for it.
"A special despatch from Washington
last night said
Senator Sewe1l, of New Jersey, was
not among the recently appointed major
generals who were sworn in today. Be
fore leaving for his home in Camden this
afternoon he said to a friend that
there were grave doubts Of his accepting
his appointment as major general OF
volunteers. When seen tonight the gem

will accept the place. | believe that ne
has already stated that if it is necessary
for him to give up his seat in the a
he will decline the appointment. The APP
nointment came to Senator Sewell with
ont any seeking on his part, and while he
is ready and willing to serve his country
and go to the front if necessary he thinks
that for the present at least his State
has the first claim to his services. AT
torney General Griggs has been investi-
eating the law and precedents in the
case. and the Senator will accept the At
torney Generals decision
During the second session of the
Twenty-ninth Congress a case arose
through the enlistment of Congressman
Yell. Of Arkansas, which can be used
for a precedent in this instance. Con-
gresham Yell was elected q colonel OF
volunteers and went to Mexico with MS
regiment. He did not resign his seal
in Congress-, but the Governor construed
his acceptance of a commission IN the
army as ~vacating his seat, ana ordered
4 special election. A man named Newton
WAS chosen to fill out the term, and In
the contest which followed the committee
decided against Yell ard in favor OF
Newton, who retained his seat.
s.In the case of Senator Baker, of Ore
gon. and Senate James H. Lane, OF Kan
sas. both of whom raised regiments dur
ing the war. the question was not
brought up, and that was the case with
Senator Sherman. who was once placed
in a similar position.
