AGAINST GOLD STANDARD.

The passage OF the Teller resolution IN
the senate py vote OF Il to 30 was a de-
cided slap in the face to the single gold
standard proposition. An even greater
result wos the defeat OF the Lodge amend
ment by the decisive vote OF 81 to SO, on
which even our onliest only Senator
Wilson l., recorded in opposition. The
Teller resolution was substantially the
aame as that OF Stanley Matthews, passed
twenty years $50, declaring as follows:
"That all the bonds OF the United States
issued, or authorized to be issued, under
the said acts OF congress hereinbefore re-
cited, are payable, principal and interest,
at the option OF the government of the
United States in silver do liars, of the
coinage OF the United States containing
4l2la grains each OF standard silver, and
that to restore to its coinage such siiver
coins as legal tender in payment of said
bonds, principal and interest,is not in
violation OF the public faith, nor in daro.
CATION OF the rights OF the public ere lt."
The Lodge amendment declared for the
gold standard As follows: THAT all bonds
OF the United states, issued or author
led to be issued, under the said acts OF
congress hereinbefore recited are paya.
bic principal and INTEREST," in gold coin
or its equivalent. and that any other pay
ment without consent OF creditors will be
in violation OF the public faith and in
dero.atiou OF their rights" So far as
affecting any leyislatihn is concerned the

A number OF indignant citizens wero
grouped about dead mule in Perry
street lane. The mule had just dragged
load Of kindling wood to it's destina-
ton, and when the driver, who had been
belaboring the animal, stopped at the
door where the wood was to be delivered
the mule sank to the ground and re-
manned motionless between the shafts.
Several passersby who had witnessed the
occurrence hurried to the spot and were
outspoken in their criticisms Of the
drivers brutal indifference. One Of the
bystanders took the driver severely to
task for not trying to save the beasts
life, but the driver Went on unloading
the kindling wood and carrying it in the
house, with apparent Indifference. When
he had unloaded his cart, he coolly
mounted the seat, gathered up the reins
and shouted, "Wake up Gar, you Ras.
tus'' The mule cooked up one ear, OPEN
ed one eye, wabbled to his feet and
shambled off up the lane. Then the
crowd melted away, and an air Of peace
and quietness settled down upon the
neighborhood. Savannah News

"POPOCRAT1C RUIN

The ruin which was SO strongly pre-
dicted during the last campaign as COM
inc to the state of Washington and Che'
halls county in the event OF SUCCESS
nv the fusion forces is becoming more
apparent every day; but in way not pc
tured by the dscredited party that hao
control Of the state at that time. This
ruin can best be shown by comparison
of the prices of warrants then and now.
Eighteen months ago state warrants
were slow sale at 50 cents on the dollar )
now they are snapped up eagerly at Sl'o-'
ChehaIis county warrants that went beg
ging at 70 cents are now worth 80 CENTS
and within a month will be worth par.
As for Aberdeen genera! fund warrants,
well, anyone offering them at any p'ice
would have been laughed at. Now with
enough cash in the city treasury to pay
the greater amount OF these outstanding
aud good prospect OF all OF them beng
paid before another year passes, they'
too, are worth very near par.
This condition is due largely to the once
derided "Popocratic" revenue law passed
bv the last legislature, whereby the tax
payers of tie state have been able to pay
hundreds OF thousands Df dollars OF de-
linqucnt taxes, and which has brought
every county and the state out OF the
slough of Republican bankruptcy upon
the solid rock OF solvency and ability TO
paw debts. And the end is not yet.

A FRAUDULENT CLAIM.

The single gold standard advocates are
industriously spreading the claim that
our silver currency is redeemable in gold,
and for that reason atone it kept on par
ity with gold. The Olympian, in reply to
request of the HERALD to quote the law
authorizing such redemption, cites the
following from the act of July II, 1890:
at being the established policy OF the
United States to maintain the two metals
on parity with each other upon the
present legrl ratio, or such ratio as may
be provided by law" and similar declar-
ations OF congress, and adds, Later the
treasury department, being entrusted
with the execution OF these laws, inter
preted them to mean that if necessary to
the maintenance OF the parity Of the sill
yer coin with gold the silver should be
redeemed directly in gold"
The Olympian has utterly failed &c
substantiate its claim OF law for the re-
delnp,iou OF silver in gold. Upon this
subject both Secretaries Foster and Car
Isle denied that there was any law for
such redemption, as is shown by the fol-
lowing extracts from the Congressional
Record, both letters in answer to request
from the Senate:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Dec Z, 1892.
"My Dear Sir =
have your favor of December Z. beg
to inform you that silver dollars are not
in law or in practice exchanged for gold
or paper rhat calls for gold.
Very respectfully yours,
CHAs. FOSTER"
"TREAsUEY DEPARTMENT,
Oct. II, 1898.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE:
l have the honor to acknowledge re-
cept of resolution, adopted by the Senate
In response thereto l have the honor to
say, that the LAW providing for the re-
demption or exchange OF silver Certifi-
cats, WHICH REQUIBEs THAT SUCH CERTIF-
ICATEs SHALL ZEE REDEEMED OR EXCHANGED

WITH by the treasurer Of the United States
and the various subtreasury Offices and
o GOLD COIN has been given in return for
snch certificates or standard slverdollars.
Respectfully yours,
J. G. CARLISLE"
1t is true that Secretary Gage has inter.
preted the law to suit himself and his
goldbug friends, but such Interpretation
is rank assumption, assumed for the pur
pose OF further discreditng silver, ii pos
sible. The fact that silver dollars are full
legal tender for all debts, both public
and private, is what maintains the parity
of the two coins, which fact the Olymp
ian is invited to attempt to disprove.

TAXATION IN NEW ZEALAND.

Zealand is not exactly what is known as
that OF the single tax, yet it probably
comes nearer to it than that OF any other
country. The January number OF ad.
vance sheets OF consular reports, issued
by the government, deals exhaustively
with the system OF taxation in New Zea-
land.
Briefly stated the system combines that
OF land and income tax; there being an
exemption from taxation OF 50 800 in land
and Improvements, and 81 800 OF income.
The land tax is assessed upon the cash
value OF the land and improvements.
ing, planting, draining and clearing OF
land putting in grass; and all improve.
ments up t. three thousand pom nds ($l5,
000) in value, and all mortgages owing
upon such land shall be deducted from
the cash value, the remainder becoming
the assessed value upon which taxes are
levied
When this assessed value, together
with any mortgages belonging to such
owner. does not exceed fifteen hundred
pounds, there is deducted an exemption
OF five hundred pounds (S2, $500, this ex.
emption gradually decreasing SO that no
OF more than twenty-five hundred pounds.
In other words all improvements up to
three thousand pounds sis, 900 in value
are exempt, and land values No to five
hundred pounds $500. There is also
in addition TO the ordinary tax on land,
graduated tax, by which a tax OF one
eighth OF a penny on the pound sterling
is levied in addition to the ordinary tax,
where the assessed value is five thousand
pounds and less than ten thousand
pounds. This additional tax gradually
increases IN amounts to one penny and
siX-eighths on the poun where the asses.
sed value is two hundred and ten thous-
and pounds and over. All improvements
are exempt from this graduated tax. The
income tax is levied upon all incomes of
whatever description, there being an ex-
emption OF Fl 800.
the result OF the adoption Of the pres
ent system OF taxation, which has been
in force since 1892, has been TO throw
the burden OF taxation upon those best
able to bear it. Consul Connolly, who
has been stationed at Auckland for the
last eight years, says:
he land and income tax has now be-
come the accepted and settled policy Of
the country - In as taNa,ion i, concern
ed. With the abolition oil the property
and improvement tax for state purposes,
Improvements have increased very large
ly all over the colong. Both the press
and the people seem reconciel to the
present system, but it has taken some
time for the wealthy ana well-to-do gem
orally to cease their opposition to the new
conditions"
Strong objections were made to the
large exemptions in the land tax, but the
battle ragged most bitterly around the in
come tax, Upon this the report says:
