l. might be we'll to recall to the
minds of some of our Democratic
friends a statement that Bryan made
in 1896 when he was the standard
bearer of that party. He said:
IF Mckinley and the republicans
are successful and put in power for
tine next four years, wages will de-
crease, hard times will come upon us,
aid over the land. The price of wheat
90 down and the price of gold go up.
Mortgages on our homes will be fore
closed by the money lenders. Shops
| and factories will close. We will eX-
port no goods, and we will import
from foreign lands all the goods we
use. Thus will ruin, want and misery
be with us"
1t is unnecessary to ask any Ameri-
can citizen if we have suffered the
p~rivations that were pictured TO us
four years ago. They were false pre-
dictions made by IA false prophet.
Never in the history of any admins
tration has this country beer on Il
firmer footing, with prosperity on
every hand. than during the past fon
years. And yet this man who so
falsely attempted to picture psiva1ion,
hungry and ruin to th9 american
people now comes to them with otaer
imaginary wrongs.

INTERNAL REVENUE RULING.
A Number of Decisions Received from Com
missioner Wilson.

Acting Collector of Internal Rev
enue \. c. Cantley is in a receipt of
a ruling from Commissioner G.. W.
Wilson in which that official upholds
the decision of the collector regarding
the placing OF a 25c documentary
stamp on all receipts for buttef placed
in a cold storage warehouse in the
names OF various grocers. to be with
drawn as the trade demanded it. The
cold storage company has held the
view that the butter vas placed in the
warehouse for the purpose of preser-
walton, and that the receipts should
not be stamped.
In regard to a difference of opinion
between United States Circuit Judge
Adams, of the Eastern district of Mis-
souri,, and Judge Kohlsaat, of Chicago,
Judge Adams holding that a dram
shop bond was not taxable and the
Chicago Judge ruling that it was,
Commissioner Wilson has held that
it is a bond issued by private parties
and not by the state, and therefore is
not exempt from taxation.
Other recent decisions are that the
affidavit Of a corporation that it does
not belong to any trust. when certified
by a notary public, is not taxable, as
the Secretary of State of Missouri re-
quires such sworn statement: that a
note, a part of a legacy which ex-
ceeded $40, 900, when changed into real
estate by a compromise of the heirs,
must pay the legacy tax: that a de-
pOsitor in a bank presenting an I'M
stamped receipt in person car with
draw funds to his credit for any pur-
pose whatever, but such a receipt.
unstamped, a not be handed to a
note-teller to take up a note in bank
and charged to the customers account:
that an earnest money receipt, which
is a contract for the sale of real estate.
in which the party stipulates to de-
liver a warranty deed to a purchaser
on full payment being made for the
property, is not liable to taxation;
that the mere occasional purchase of
a mote by a farmer or merchvnt for
his own investment does not involve
him in the special tax of $50 a year
as a broker: that certificates OF proof
of will and of copy of will which by
the laws of Missouri are required to
be recorded in the Recorders Office,
are not taxable because they are GER
tiHcates for public use.
The commissioner reverses a former
ruling, holding that a correction deed
without valuable consideration being
paid therefor is no longer taxable.
a dividend check drawn by a bank
for the payment of dividends does not
require a revenue stamp.

New Carnegie Company Will
Not Be Incorporated in

PITTsBURG, March Alt is expected
that all the details of the reorganization
Of the Carnegie interests under the
agreement by which the differences 10y
H. G. Frick and Andrew Carnegie are
wiped out, will be settled during the
day. The agreement will be signed by
the 30-odd partners in the Carnegie

the business in the new form will be
delayed only by the requirements of
law. The acceptance Of terms of set.
Element by those most interested was an
event of Wednesday.
j. B. Dill, the New York attorney,
who with G.. NJ. Schwab is credited
with bringing the warning partners to
get together, reached Pittsburg at an
early hour and has been in conference
with the heads of the big concern ever
since. The new Carnegie company will
be established under the New Jersey
law, but the charter will be very differ
ent from those of the various large cor
porations formed within the last year OF
SO. 1t is promised that the new charter
will be a. firm as the principal product
Of the company that will operate under it.

One of the principal features of the
Carnegie company plan will be the pro-
vision that if any stakeholder wishes to
dispose of his interests he will make
known the fact to a board Of appraisers.

dustry many men who in years gone by
figured with much prominence in its
manufacture. Necessarily there will be
q number of changes in methods of
management. although the general plan
now pursued is to be followed. The
executive affairs, it now seems will be
in the hands of a board of directors
made up of men who know the business
Of steel making from beginning to end.
+. I. +. Lovejoy, who resigned his posi-
ton as secretary Of steel company, and
joined hands with Prick in the fight, will
very likely again occupy a high official
position. There will be other oldtime
officials of the Carnegie company in the
harness again, as well as some new
blood, brought in by the continuance of
the policy Of Andrew Carnegie in max.
ing partners of deserving and bright
young employees.
The settlement has caused universal
rejoicing, not only among the Prick and
Carnegie adherents, but also among the
bankers and business mel. 1t is known
that for several days banker friends of
both sides have been trying to see a way
to settle the fight, seeing in it unrest for
both contestants, injuries t business
ard fortunes of both and their partners
and injury to the business of Pittsburg
