price of beer. It win tend to increase the
consumption Of whiskey.
The rate on wines is iniquitously unjust,
as all nat rates must be. One cent on a
four dollar bottle of champagne is baga-
telle. hut on a thirty-cent bottle Of table
claret it is grievous burden.
The tax on billiard tables and bowling
alleys is similarly unjust. Five dollars a
year for each table is nothing to Maurice
DAILY or the Fifth Avenue Hotel. But to
a poor little saloon. with just one table
and small and cheap patronage, it is a
sore imposition.
The tax on public shows is simply IN
famous. 1t levies 800 a year on every
theatre, concert hall or museum in city
of 5000 Inhabitants or over. Thus the
tax is the same on the New York Metro
politan Opera House and on the Lyric
Theatre Hoboken. and Hasbrouck Insti-
tute, Foye Hall. the Jersey City Club and
a host of smaller places in this city will
have to pay an equal sum. If this is not
recklessness in taxation, what is it? II
this is not the iron heel of despotism,
absolutely Indifferent to the people. where
can it be classified in the history of econ
omics?

DEPLoRABLE SIDEWALK.

The sidewalk on Gator avenue, about
fifty feet east OF the Boulevard, Is in a
deplorable condition and Is also very dam
gerous for pedestrians. There remain now
only about two feet Of earth on the side
walk, the recent heavy rains having
washed away nearly three feet Of the
walk.
At this point the gutter IS over five feet
deep and as many wide, this also being
caused by the heavy rush of water. The
spot is a dark one, therefore all the more
dangerous to pedestrians.

wheat and Silver Folly.

The collapse of the wheat deal should
afford, by analogy, a useful lesson 10 ehe
free silver coinage advocates
Confident in his wealth, Mr. Letter un-
dertook to hold up the price of wheat
against the world. But there was too
much wheat in the world for him. It was
nut on the market faster than he could
find money to buy it. Presently. his credit
was exhausted, he could no longer carry
the load he had assumed. He dropped It.
It fell with dull thud and left him prac-
+,ca,lv a bankrupt and a back number.
This is exactly what would happen II
the United States Government should un-
dertake the free coinage of silver. The
white metal would be forced on 1t SO fast
and In such volume that dts credit wouio
NOT suffice to hold up the fictitious value
~ a dollar for fifty cents worth, which
free coinage was to put upon 1t. Iheh
there would be a crash. Silver coin would
come down with a world terrifying jangle
TO the value of silver bullion and the
American people would be bankrupt, and
back number SO far as the financiering or
the world is concerned, for at least gen.
Grafton.
The resemblance of the two cases IS
exact except in that the Letter deal was
a private act of folly; the silver theory is
4 National madness.

The new revenue bill stands examina-
tion very badly. The more It is exam
med, the more onerous its provisions ap-
pear. 1t is hampering to business 1t is
oppressive to the poor. 1t allows luxuries
and superfluities to go practically scot
free.
We have already commented on the in
aquity OF the s1ever' duty upon tea Of
10 cents q pound. We pointed out that
1t amounted to a tax Of 80 1-3 per cent.
upon the article used by poorer fam
ilies. while those who used fancy grades
were getting on with 10 per cent. or less.
Later developments show that the cir
cumstances are even worse than we
thought. The government will gain no
revenue from this tax on tea for an In
definite period, while a gang of speculat-
ors will make fortunes out of it. There
n no retroactive tax on tea in storage
IN the country, and it is estimated that
there is enough thus stored to supply the
entire needs OF consumption for eighteen
months. What miserable fate is jack
ass Dingley's! After bowling for eleven
months about anticipatory importations,
he walks deliberately into the hole again,

which was slated to furnish $2O,0o0,000 a

IT is a redeeming feature of the present
wheatquake that the farmer has got far
more of the profit than the conspirators.
But the country never really gains by
an inflated price for anything. If the
farmer is richer. somebody else is poorer,
and there is no net gain in that-only dis
turbance.
It is danger of the farmers great gain
this year that 1t may cause too great an
acreage to be sown with wheat next sea-
son, with consequent overstocked markets,
depressed prices, losses. loans and new
period OF discomfort.
Trade issa sensitive thing, and disturb
ance in It's expanse goes on eddying out to
the far corners of the globe and reflex
waves come rolling back year after year,
like the waves and waves that upheave
and depress the surface of a pool into
which stone is idly dropped.

ANOTHER aspect of the wheat deal
has been instructive. too. One of the stock
promises of the silverites was dollar
wheat. Well, we have had dollar wheat
and far more. And some of US have not
found it an unadulterated blessing. Mr.
Letter. in the climax of his Success
managed to put wheat so high that the
poor mans loaf was very materially re-
duced in Size This was exactly what
the gold men told the country. that when
prices grew high, no matter what the
cause. the men who had to pay them did
not benefit. But year ago. the laborer
almost persuaded himself that high prices
would make him rich instead of poor.
