NOT AMENDMENT.

The change Of the gold standard bill which
has been proposed by the Senate Finance Com
mttee can hardly be thought likely to help
that measure in the end. No matter how IN
op9ecuonabie In form II may appear a mere
recital of the fact that the Republican party
honestly tried to bring about an international
bmetalc agreement, the phrase has no con-
ceivable part in such bill unless it be TO give
somebody the idea that the Republican SUD-
porfers of the measure still believe that a BIZ
metallic international agreement is possible.
But that is hardly the fact Neither Senator
Aidrich nor any other supporter of the bill
would venture TO ayOw any such belief nor
claim that he knew any intelligent man who
has that belief. ANY clause which looks like
trying &c pull the wool over ignorant ewes is
not worthy OF a Republican Senate and would
contrast painfully with the distinct and manly
declaration of the bill passed by the House
Presumably ii viii be urged that the votes of
some Senators can only be secured by inserting
some such misleading phrase. If the measure
were free from objections In other respects
that might be reason for concession But the
Senate bill is not in other respects preferable TO
mat or the House, and on account of its fund
ing provision is full Of danger. Ii would not be
at al strange If that provision alone should
deprive the bill Of several votes in the Senate
which simple and straightforward gold stand
ard bin would secure.
Nothing can be gained by trying to get back
20 the unwholesome and unhappy political con-
ditions OF 1896. The country is not In the denth
Of panic, as it was then. Its industries are not
now Frustrated, its labOring force is not largely
seeking in vain for work at any wages. its
Western farms are not buried under morfga ges
Its failures DO not amount to nearly S30,OOO0 900
month. The people have learned vast deal
since that time even If some men at Washing
ton have failed to perceive 1T. They have cleared
of mortgages, found plenty of work and higher
wages, surpassed the greatest prosperity ever
attained in past years and convinced them
selves By glad experience that Democratic pre-
fences In 1896 about the money question were
amazingly foolish and false The people of this
country are not az all In need Of getting back
into the darkness and the mire of Democratic
panic for a statement of their purposes They
know what the Republican policy has done for
them, and are not afraid to say that protection
for industry and a currency all redeemable in
gold at all times shall be maintained by their
votes.
The House gold standard bill was one OF
which no one need be ashamed. 1t was frank
and fearless, the trusted rep
resentatiyes OF the people ought 10 be. There
was no attempt TO load down the measure with
all the monetary theories schemes of several
hundred members. Its provision for separate

FREAK TAX SCHEMES.

Assembyman Fordyce of Cayuga has been
inspired by the half baked tax schemes now
before the people of this State to do a little tax
unkering of his own. The result is nothing at
all likely to burden the statute book, but II is
interesting as a revelation of the legislative
mind. 1t shows that the Joint committee $
reasoning that a tax can be put on a lender
without hurting the borrower has fallen on
good ground and taken root. 1t carries that idea
a little further, and provides that the lender
must pay the tax on mortgages and upon the
land mortgaged. and that he must not shift it
upon the borrower. How beautiful that would
be! If a man owed enough on his honse he
wouldn't have any taxes TO pay at all The
poor, overburdened land owner would secure
relief not merely from all danger of having in
the end to bear the mortgage tax, but of having
10 bear a land tax, and the money sharks
would be made to suffer
But what If the money shark objected to suf
fering? He might think that it was all we'll
enough to say he must pay the taxes on all
lands mortgaged to him. but that nobody could
pass law 10 make him hold mortgages He
might tell the Legislature that one man could
lead horse to water, but a thousand could
not make him drink That is what lawmakers
seem TO forget. In the country the interest rate
on mortgages is high, in some places up to the
legal rate. 1t is serious question If even
tax of one-haf of 1 per cent would not render
borrowing difficult, and so work a great hard
ship 10 the poor, struggling farmers and home
makers, for whose sake mortgage taxes are
ostensibly proposed. 1t is ridiculous to suppose
that any man wanting TO buy a farm or home
could get loan at all in regions where money
is not simply crowding for investment on al
most any safe terms if the borrower had 10
pay the taxes on the property offered for
security. The only result of attempts to make
him do so would be an embargo on real estate
loans.
AS we say, this bin is not to be taken seri-
ously. 1t is only one of the freak tax schemes
thrown into the legislative hopper and is an
admirable example of the failure of men who
are pretending TO give us a reformed scientific
tax system to grasp at all the nature of their
problem, or in the least TO adapt their meas ures
TO secure the ends they have in view. This plan
is about the worst we have seen, but it does not
differ much in principle from others presented
with more imposing authority.
