THE LEADING JEWELL

In an interview put out by Mark
Hanna, that distinguished keeper
of the presidential conscience in
dulges in a breezy remark on the
general subject of taxation, which
is truly refreshing. After pro-
foundly observing that 1.-the reye-
nues for the support of the gov
ernment must be raised in some
way he announces that accord
ing to his idea, "the indirect is the
best way The indirect way of
raising revenues, let us explain, is
what Thomas G.. Shearman calls
the " crooked" way. 1t is not re-
markable, therefore, that Mr..
Hanna should prefer 1t. 1t is re-
marl1able though that he should
state his reasons so frankly. He
thinks the indirect way of raising
public revenues is the best way,
because, to quote his own words,
"when the people do not realize
that they are paying tax, there
is no complaint.

Last year the profits of the
Prussian State railways paid the
entire interest on the national debt
and left surplus Of $4,000, 900.
The people of the United States
pay one set of taxes to the rail-
road companies and another set to
the government, on account of the
public debt. The people of Prus-
sia pay one set to the government,
which settles their transportation
bills and their interest on bonds at
the same time. We pay over a
thousand million dollars a year to
the railroads. It costs half as
much, in normal times, to run our
whole government. If we were
as enterprising as the Germans,
whose sluggishness we are accus-
toned to ridicule, we should find
a way to make the railroad earn
ings count on the credit instead
of the debit side of the popular
ledger.-N. Y. Journal.

tits our case to u I:
Gentle reader, do you owe us?
Have you paid up to date? If you
have not be kind enough to call
when you come to town. If you
have no money bring lis wood,
chickens, eggs, potatoes, corn, or
anything that we can eat, wear or
use to keep hanger away and. to
keep warm with. Many Of our
patrons owe us from one to nine
years subscription, and we now
insist on settlement. We have
been lenient and have done all in
our power to make matters easy,
but the shoe pinches now, and our
friends who owe us must rub a
little grease on the hard places Of
the shoe to relieve us. Come up
gentlemen. We don't care if you
all speak at once.
