REVENUE STAMPS ON COLLAT.
ERAL.

The constructions placed upon var
ious provisions of the war revenue law
have been peculiar and strained at
times, and this has been particularly
so in the matter of affixing stamps to
Instruments and documents. 1t has
been held by the treasury department
that where a note was given and was
secured by collateral, that both note
and collateral had to be stamped. This,
of course. is double taxation, and a
most senseless thing. The theory on
which it was held that collateral must
be stamped is that it is a transfer of
the stock put up. To so hold is absurd.
because there is no transfer. Suppose
the same stock were put up successive
ly as collateral on different notes held
by different individuals or banks, would
anyone claim that there had been a
transfer each time? 1t would be the
same certificate of stock, and there
would never have been a single new
issue. This illustration shows how alb
surd is the construction of the law in
this particular. And this is the con-
struction of it that governs the banks
IN this city.
According to an item in the Louis
vile Courier-Journal it appears that
this construction has been modified.
The item is as follows:
Collector Sapp yesterday received a
decision from Commissioner Scott, in
response to an inquiry sent to satisfy
a correspondent in this city, who had
made a note several years ago and had
given a warehouse receipt as collat-
eral.
The note was renewed after July 1,
1888, and the question was whether or
not both note and collateral had to be
taXpaid. The reply was that the re-
rewal of the note must be taxpaid, but
that the collateral stands without tax
aticc-
The question is an important one, and
it would be well if some of our lead
ing banks would take the matter up
and ascertain what the practice of the
department in the matter of requiring
collateral to be stamped now is.

by the Republican party. Now come the
Republicans of Michigan and say:
Louis platform aud hedge them our sup
port as assure guarantee of national pros
perity and honor We stand upon the ex-
listing gold standard, and condemn the
proposition to admit silver. to free and
unlimited coinage at the ratio of 16 to
by this country alone"
Now also come the Republicans of the
lows:
We favor the existing gold standard
and oppose the free and unlimited coin
age of silver"
II is in order to explain how a party
which IS almost daily declaring for the
existing gold standard" and denouncing
free silver coinage can be expected TO do
anything for silver.

OUT TO OIL SALT LAKE.

Nice to take flynn trip
Out to oil Salt Lake,
Nice to feel the Mormon grip
In a hearty shake.
Valley blossoms as the rose,
Every gentle breeze that blows
Some new floral gems disclose,
Bloomin' fur the cake.
Once it was a desert wild,
Out to OF Salt Lake,
Foot of man had not defiled
Mount or sagey brake.
But the hosts of Zion came,
Sturdy sire an patient dame.
An in great Jehovah's name
Drove the progress stake.
Titled the fields with brain an Drawn.
Welded from the early dawn
Plow an hoe an rake.
Laughed in troubles frownin' face,
KEEP their courage right in place,
Nerve built on solid base
Nothin couldn't shake.
Diff rent in these latter days,
Out to OF Salt Lake,
Songs of gratitude an praise
All the echoes wake.
Not care to cloud the soul
Nothin bitter in the bowl.
Waves of plenty seem to roll
Thout a painful break.
See city proud an grand,
Out to OF Salt Lake.
Nerve an muscle hand in hand
Played an won the stake.
Mormon saints an Gentiles seem
Pitched up in a double team.
Workin' every pound o. steam
Fur PROFESSIONS sake.
Cupid doesn't swing his bow
Out to OF Salt Lake
In the style of long ago
Used to take the cake.
One good pardner now appears
Quite enough; the sanity peers
No more keep a herd of dears
For appearance sake.
Live in peace an harmony,
Brethren give an take,
Very seldom that you see
A discordant break
When they hear the final trump,
Mighty apt TO see 'em jump
Into glory in a lump.
Out to oil Salt Lake.

When the New York wool exchange
closed, the president, Allan Macnaugh-
ton, put forth this statement:
Owing to the depressed condition of
the wool market, and it appearing that
Improvement in that direction is not
likely to occur for some time, it has
been deemed advisable for the best in
terests of the corporation and its
stockholders to discontinue all further
operations in wool until a better out
look presents itself and until further
notice.
The corporation, however, will devote
it's energies to the advancement of its
other more profitable business inter
ests. The corporation is in excellent
financial condition, having no floating
debts of any kind.
The New York Mail and Express, a
Republican protectionist paper of the
rankest kind, in the mention of the
closing of the exchange lets the cat out
of the bag when it says:
The exchange was started several
years ago, when the wool market was
on the boom and had become political
factor. AT that time the scheme of
great national exchange, on the ground
that New York was the logical center
of the wool trade, was preached and
carried to a successful conclusion. Dur
ing the past two years trade has fallen
off and the board of directors decided
to suspend that branch for the present,
at least 1t is limited, however, that if
the commercial skies in the wool trade
clear, the exchange will blossom again
with the sunshine of wool prosperity.
Having secured the wool vote the

in the wool industry thereafter. The
party has always used wool for pols
teal purposes.

EUROPEAN DISARMAMENT.

News comes from Berlin that the

The so-called "silver Republicans" of
Weber county. in an address to the
public, state this conclusive fact:
The Republican party of the United
States is for the gold standard; and
the silver Republican party, the Demo-
cratic party and the Peoples party of
the United States are for bimetallism.
Every vote cast in Utah for the Re
publican ticket is a direct vote for the
gold standard, no matter what the 10
cal platform may declare-since such
vote swells the total of the Republican
vote in the United States. Every vote
cast in Utah for the silver Republican
ticket, or for any other bimetallic
ticket, is a vote for the free, unlimited
and Independent coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1-since such vote
helps to swell the total of the bimetal-
lie vote in the United States"

Sir Philip grew more communicative than
usual, and so friendly and confidential
toward Rogers, that the latter, much en-

The promptness with which the New

of the war investigation committee for
information as to the condition OF the

Spouse at all came. that it would come
over the circumlocution route. News
papers never employ that route.

thin and he was highly sensitive in re-
gard to it. To hide his approaching
badness he had a habit Of carefully
stroking with bandohne or other prep
aration each particular hair in its
place. One day, while in the chair as
speaker, Mr.. Hamlin, in the innocence
of a good and joke loving nature, sent
for this gentleman, and, looking fixed
ly at, his smooth and polished pate
said, with chuckle: BLANK, old fell
I low, I lust wanted to tell you that
you've got one Of the hairs Of your head

refusing to listen either to reason or
explanation, he LETT the speaket'sfdesR

Hamlin became candidate for the

was member Of the upper house Of
the Maine Legislature, Although g

one more vote was needed TO secure Mr.
Hamlin's election, he positively refused
to vote for the man by whom he haC

the next vacancy occurred he wa
