deposits tbe national banks are used
almost exclusively by merchants and

United States were 81 CSC 600 coo. The

1895. they amounted to O., 07s 900, 600,
and in 1899 they jumped to s2;606i 900,

dollars In three years, which means
that the business men were that much
better OF last year than they were In
1896.
Another demonstrstien,of the fsEscy

the figures showing the exports of
manufactured products dxring the last

manufactures sent abroad was e22s,

pearlv doubled since. Ia 1899 there

ment Of State the collection of letters addressed
10 George Washington which is now being pub
lished under the auspices Of the Society of the
Colonial Danes Of America The correspond
ence dates from 1852 to July ,, 1775 when
Washington arrived At Cambridge and took
command Of the armies of the United Colonies.
The documents have been familiar 30 those who
have made first hand examinations OF the
archives at Washington, bu- very few Of them
have hitherto been printed. The enterprise
which is now giving them to rs admirably
edited and printed in handsome form is one to
be heartily commended by all students Of
American history. As Mr.. Hamilton remarks,
"A complete edition Of the writings to Washing
ton, given verbatim ct Htoratim from the oriGi-
nal letters as received and indcrsed by him,
supplies not only the sequel to his own writings
but possesses an independent value in exhibit
ing fully the opinions designs and acts of those
who were associated with him, and furnishes
original facts Of history not to be obtained from
other sources" 1t also throws light, by infer
once, on Washingtons own character. For eX-
ample we think of the great man ceremoni-
Gus in all things; but now and then, as in the
anecdote Of his profanity upon certain oc-
casion, We catch slimpses Of him in undress
There is a letter in the first of these volumes

The Tax on Medicines.


The manufacturers and retail dealers
in drugs and proprietary medicines are
preparing a strong representation to
Congress for including in the reduction
of the war taxes the special stamp tax
on the articles made and dealt in by this
trade. They point out cogently that
while they, as citizens and business
men,, pay their share of the taxation by
stamps on checks. agreements and other
documents, together with the general
customs and excise taxes, this particular
stamp tax is levied on a special trade
That trade too. is the one which
serves the need of the people in illness.
Whatever dispute there may be as to
who pays the tax in the first instance
there can be no doubt that the ultimate
burden of tax on medicines falls on
those who need the medicines. This
especial tax amounts to 81, 900. 900 or
$4,000, 900 per year. There is no reason
why it should not be repealed, together
with the other taxes on business transac-
tions, accepted for the past two years
solely to support the war that was end
ed two years ago, and it is gratifying to
note these are the very items recon-
mended for abolition by the Ways and
Means Committee.-Dis
