But France and several other com

to silver as their salvation, instead of

has the impudence to remark:
Notwithstanding the suspension OF
gold payments by the Bank Of France
and its use OF silver coin only in meet
Ing the demands of Its creditors, the
premium on gold coin On Paris has
fallen to one-tenth of 1 per cent. after
having been. for q little while. one
fifth OF per cent. Yet there are
would-be financiers among us who In
sist that if silverite Administration
should suspend gold payments and pay
out only silver dollars, the country
would at once be placed on a silver
baSiSl
This is real mean in the Sun; but It
is Its way. This tribute to silver from
France serves the purpose Of the Sun,
no doubt; but 1t is in accordance with
the facts. and gives the Tribune a
black eye. Only one-tenth Of one per
cent difference in favor of gold over
silver in Paris, in great financial dis
turhince, after all this great bother
over gold and the characterization of
silver since 1878! IT'S wondrous,
strange. and yet it is true, and it
proves how alive silver still Is, in con-
tempt OF the Republican and goldite
epitaph writers in this country!

bond is better still; yet they prefer a
bond that they do not have to conceal
and lie about to secure it from taxa

exemption from all taxation and as

per cent. Il year to all honest men,
the percentage varying with the State,
city and other rates of local taxa ton;
then gold, in this country, among our
English flunkeys, is worth something
over coin; and the thirty years OF quiet
possession makes the per cent. bond
an investment that is certainly far
preferable to any stable and reliable
security in the market.

THE TAXA FfeN OF MORTGAGES.

But the great majority of mortgages
are not taxed, and If they were it would
frequently be In fact, though not in
form, double taXation.-N Y. Tribune.
Here is long-mooted question, which
the Tribune undertakes to decide in
favor of the holders of mortgages. on
the ground that as the holder of the
mortgaged property pays the taxes on
1t, and that as the mortgage only rep
resents that property, or an equitable
portion of it, to tax the mortgage
would, pro tanto. be double taxation
of the same property. Let us see. If
a. own landed estate upon which he
owes unsecured notes and bonds to the
sum OF $4,000, these unsecured notes
and bonds are taxable in the hands of
the holders. But A. also owes an addi-
tional sum Of $4,000, for which he has
given a mortgage upon his estate The
claim Is that, while the holder of the
unsecured obligations must nay taxes
upon them, or lie about them, the hold
er Of the amply secured obligation
should be exempt from taxation there
on, because 1t is secured! That does
not oppear logical or just
But bonds or notes; secured or unse-
cured, are property; and any taXee
owning them may plead any similar
debts he owes others against them as
offsets. Bonds and notes are separate
and very different property from real
estate and they remain separate and
different, though a mortgage be given
on real estate to secure them. They
are additional property, created by the
debtor and sold to the creditor. and
they must be sustained as such to their
full value by the debtor, If he has suni-
cient money, credit or property, to do
so. The mortgage makes no difference
in the principle involved, even If the
mortgaged property be sold under a
foreclosure upon failure to pay the note.
or bond, or interest thereon. He who
mortgages his $4,000 farm for $4,000 OBJ
credit for that sum, and retains the
farm on the conditions of the mort
gage; the mortgage lends. or forbears,
s., 900 on which he receives interest
with the security of the $4,000 estate
for final satisfaction of the obligation.
The estate may, or may not have to
answer for the s5.OOO.-but it Is obvious
in the one case as the other that 1t Is
different and separate property from
the estate and additional to it.
II either should be exempt from tax
alton it should be the farm. and not the
mortgage; but in truth neither should
be exempt: nor is there any double
taxation at all in such cases. It Is the
creation of new property by the man
who owns the farm and an exchange
of his money for 1t, for Il time, on part
of mortgage. But almost all mort
cages. when liable to taxation, man.
age. in one way or another, to escape
taxation. Probably all mortgages
should be assessed where the land lies
and the deed Is recorded; and IL the
mortgagec is n nonresident, the mort
eager should be made to pay the taxes
on the mortgage, with the right to re-
coup himself from the interest annual
ly accruing against him.

"CoIN,s FINANCIAL SCHOOL,

Mr.. w. IT. Harvey, OF Chicago. and
his two books, Coins Financial

been most cgrcSiously msrepresented,
abused and ridiculed by the licentious
press of the Republicans, and of their
allies, the goldites, "masquerading as
Democrats" None Of this press has
seriously attempted to disprove the
statements, or confute the arguments,
