SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS.

The most important event OF the past
week was the signing OF q peace agree
ment between the United States and
Spain, under which hostilit:es will cease
and the two countries will have con.
ference through the proper commissions
for settlement Of differences under q
treaty OF peace. The DEMOCRAT believes
in peace on general principles, and that
1t is the duty OF nations as mnch ss In
dividuals 10 always settle differences
amicRolv. In this civilized age there
should never be an international quess
ton arise that could not be settled by
arbitration. In this case had Spain an
iota OF good horse sense there would
have been no occasion for war. But the
very bomb that set things aHre was a
sample Of the nation we had to deal
with, and hence speaks for the impos.
sibility OF securing justice except by re-
sorting 10 arms.
More has been accomplished than werG
started out to secure, and it may easily
be predicted that the results OF the wal
will have ealuiary effect on the natlon
OF the world, and very materially chang
the relationships Of the nations of th'
world as well as many kinds Of affair
generally.

4 RETRoGRADE MOVEMENT.

In that vital factor of any govern
ment, taxation, there is evidence of a
continuous trend in this country back
wards to the favorite methods of mon
archism. 1t was a French minister of
the monarchy who defined scientific
taxation as the method Of plucking
feathers from the goose with the least
resultant squawking. Such a policy is
comprehensive in a government where
the monarch rules by divine right, ir-
responsible to his people, but anxious
to avoid irritation that might lead to
revolt. Naturally such a government
would readily adopt methods of getting
revenue that would extract money
from the people indirectly and under
the guise of cost instead of the blunt
form of taxation. They would COM
mend themselves with especial force
to rulers who needed money, but were
not accountable to their people for it's
spending. But a republic is based on
contrary principles. The people are
at once the rulers and the revenue pro-
tives. in nation and states, hold the
purse-strings. No tax can be laid that
does not originate in these bodies COM
ing directly from the people. This pro-
vision embodies the principle of re-
sponsibility for the spending of money
derived from the taxpayers of the
land
The influence of custom and envi-
ronment shows in the transference to
our federal constitution of the evasive
method of revenue getting, universal
at the time of its tfon but it also
contains, in its provision for direct
taxation, recognition of the true
principle of responsible government
that requires that each citizen bear his

tual SURPRISES for mutual wants, the
greatest mass possible would then be
produced Of those things which con-
tribute to human life and human hap
piness, the numbers of mankind would
be increased, and their condition bet
tered This is reciprocity.
1t was fifty-three years before the
ideas of Jefferson were fully adopted,
and then not by his own country, but
by the one which, at that time, held
most tenaciously to the views enter
tanned today by the dominant party
here. England went farther than JEFF
ferson advised congress in 1893 to go,
for, instead of meeting stubborn restric-
tons on exports with retaliatory OBJ
structions, England extends the free
dom of her ports to the products of ma
tons that still adhere to the antiquat-
ed notion that trade is war and that
of other nations must be hampered
and crippled as much as possible. The
ideal condition Jefferson aspired to,
Peel and his successors reached. The
Toryism that they met and overthrow
is, however, strongly entrenched in
nation that boasts of its freedom.
