squeeze in the money market was due to
this secretion Of revenue. Everybody out
side OF New York knows that the Wall
street spectators, with their financial air
ship methods. are chiefly to blame for the
pinch. They are the people that have been
boosting up the interest rate. As for the
surplus, Il is only a fyspeck In comparison
with their inflated transactions.
The secretary OF the treasury is not re-
sponsible for the governments having a
surplus. He does not frame the revenue
laws. He Is not responsible for the reve-
nues, and he may dispose Of the funds OF
the government only as congress directs.
He is a subject Of law, not a financial
despot.
1t Is the theory Of Wall street that the
sole function OF government is 20 promote
Wall street speculation. and provide means
for assisting the operators when they have
been squeezed in the wise OF their own reck-
lessness. For them the Treasury depart
ment is a House Of Providence which ought
to be ready and willing at all times to re-
heve their distress. II the government
falls to meet their notions Of its response
bility, II follows, OF course. that the secre-
tary OF the treasury is a blithering idiot.
A mar that does not know enough to help
Wal street does not know anything.

The merger of the American and Brit
ish tobacco manufacturing concerns
shows how futile would be the repeal
of the American tariff duties as a means
for the suppression of gigantic indus
trial combinations commonly known as
trusts. The potential force of the Brit
ish-American merger agreement is the
clause in the compact that binds the
contracting parties ON both sides Of the
Atlantic not to compete with each other
but on the contrary to cooperate with
each other to maintain prices. The re-
peal Of the duty on tobacco would
therefore have no more effect on the in
ternational combine than the pope's bull
against the comet.

Horace Boies, the democratic candidate
for congress in Speaker Henderson's dis
trict in Iowa. has at last discovered some
thing to offer as an excuse for running.
He finds that the Issues are the trusts and
the tariff, and he wants the tariff battered
down. even II It is reduced below a rev.
enue basis" Experience has shown that a
democratic revenue basis for the tariff
means a big deficit and business prostra-
tion. But the country does not want any
deficits and disaster, such as the democrats
served under Cleveland.

Maximum Value Of Land.
Mehan's Monthly.

Mehan 5 Monthly.
The maximum values Of land in the
North Atlantic states were reached in 1880,
and the falling OF during the past decade
has been especially marked. In the south
Atlantic and south central states farm
values reached a high mark in 1860. The
heavy drop Of ten years later reflects the
havoc Of civil war. Since that time the
trend OF values in these states has been
upward. In the west the values have rap
idly advanced. The only apparent excep-
tion is the last decade. But the lower hg-
ures for 1900 are due TO the large amount
Of cheap land thrown open TO the public.

CLEAN NEWSPAPERS PR0sPERINe.
People of Healthy Minds RAIlyinE TO
Their support.
Youths Companion.


Youth's Companion.
There are encouraging indications Of q
revival OF clean journalism. 1t is not com-
ing through the establishment OF endowed
newspapers" Few practical newspaper men
believe in that agency for the reform Of
deplorable newspaper tendencies. The very
fact that a newspaper was endowed would
so far detach It from ordinary conditions Of
publication as to make It useless as an
example. Moreover, the existence OF such a
newspaper would imply confession that a
really clean and moral journal was un-
profitable; else why the endowment
It is not philanthropy that is wanted so
much as business sagscity and a good news
paper sense Joined with q high purpose. A
newspaper is not a moral tract, and cannot
be displaced by tracts. A man who should
spend millions In endowing newspapers that
were too good to stand alone would not be
nearly SO great q benefactor as the man
who demonstrated that q clean newspaper
can be made to pay.
This demonstration is now being made in
several American cities. Some Of the most
successful newspapers repudiate altogether
the methods OF the new journalism" They
do not disfgure their pages with cheap pic
lures, nor with huge blotches Of red ink.
nor with headings In type four inches high.
They do not pad three lines Of actual news
transmitted by cable with half a column
Of lurid details manufactured in the once
preceded by a lying date line. They have
no dragnet out for scandals; they show
some respects for rights OF privacy. Yet
their news service is Of the best. They
are we'll written and we'll edited; they APP
peal to healthy minds; their circulation IL
large and increasing.

The lowest estimate Of the actual
value of railroad property in Omaha is
$15,OO0,000. Had this property been
taxed the same as all other property in
Omaha, namely. at 40 per cent of its
actual value, the total tax from railroad
property would have aggregated $780,
600 for the year 1902. Manifestly the
unrighteous and inequitable mode of as
sessment which now prevails has en-
abled the railroads to unload upon the
other taxpayers $153, 453.4O Of city taxes,
which they should have paid under the
rule Of uniformity in taxation.
