FERRETS ARE NEEDED.

The opposition to the tax ferret sys-
tenn, as evidenced I'm the bill to repeal
the law under which tax ferrets oper-
ate, Is based upon something more thar

cent of the total amount returned is
wrong in principle, but so long as We
have taxes upon moneys and credits
there seems to be no escape from the
ferret system of making dishonest men

The secret of the whole trouble is the
unscientific law taxing moneys and

/. EluAksYlsM AND FRIENDSHIP.

CONGRESSMAN Wheeler, of Kentucky,
whose filings at the stir of preparation
made for the visit of Prince Henry OF
Germany were uttered in pessimistic
mood, has afforded the country an op-
portunity to stop moment to consider
what should be our real attitude toward
royalty and it's representatives. when they
visit us. Undoubtedly there viii be dis
plays of obsequiousness and syco-
phancy on the part OF few. but the
leyel-headed and self-respecting ciu-
zens and officials will only accord such
treatment as the friendly visitor of a
great nation deserves. The business
man of New York had the right of 1t
from one excellent point of view when
he said Its business proposition. as
see 1t. II man comes into my store
who represents a large business mouse,
accord him hearty reception, and
entertain him to the best of my ability.
Now. Prince Henry. representing a
great commercial nation, comes to visit
our great commercial country. We
should entertain him in way betting
the national significance of his coming.
This is the commercial view of 1t; but
a larger and better plane on which to
place it is that of the increasing fra
ternity among great nations.
"a
1t may have been proper policy ut one
time to have maintained an attitude of
isolation and frigid indifference to each
other upon the part of nations, but this
cannot now be well maintained since our
elbows touch each other SO closely thru
the arteries of trade, rapid transit and
thought communication.
Our nation has increased in popula
ton and wealth until we hold the scep-
tire of empire and the seat of finance
and trade. Our export trade leads the
world, our manufacturers will soon fol-
: low: our national resources are UNI
equalled, and with increasing national
area and opportunity there come duties
that require US to extend our hand in
friendliness and to exert our influence
to maintain proper relations of neigh
borliness with the entire world.
All this can be done without turnkey
ism, and our growing fraternity with
other nations can be maintained with
out entangling alliances.

THE OUTLET FOR SILVER.

One of the problems before the sill
yer producing industry at present
takes the form OF query as to the
quarter from which the next great
demand will be made for the white
metal, for production goes on, giving
employment to large forces, and a
market is now needed to buoy up
prices, which are at a low ebb. j. p
Grant, ex- governor of Colorado, while
in New York recently, discussed the
present low price of silver. i am IN
clined to think" he said, that the
present low price of silver, which
varies around 55 cents, marks rock
bottom. 1 don't think it will go lower;
certainly l hope not. Whether 1t vii,
rise again is another question. and
don't care to make any predictions
Some people think that it will. The
reasons for this low price are not hara
to find. The production of silver has
continued the same. But Russia, which
= IOT some years HAS DetIi DuyluS SICdt
quantities of the metal to put into hcI
circulation. has now apparently got
about all that is desired. And, at tbs
same time, other gold standard ms
tions seem to have found their stool
of silver coin large enough. The re
sumption of trade with China seems e
be no great Offset. The gold nation
have decided at approximately tbs
same time that they have enough sill
yer. That is the size of 1t. Some PEG
pie have said that the passage of thu
Philippine coinage bin VIII mean {
rise In price. That is nonsense. WIKI
are they few millions of people in tn
Philippines compared with the mans
millions in China?"
II China does not yet offer goo
market 1t may later. The silver men
may look to greater use of the meta
in the arts, tho there will have to b
a revival in this direction. The silvei
problem is respectfully turned over t.

rate of interest and the tax would be
shifted from .'old moneybags' to the
hustling business man who borrows
large sums to operate factories, which
in turn give men employment and build
up a town. A tax to discourage bust
ness enterprises in a town would be
condemned everywhere as unjust and
foolhardy. when towns are supporting
commercial clubs and paying bonuses
to encourage business risks on the part
of enterprising men, but if the law tax
ing moneys and credits could be en-
forced so as to make everybody pay no
one would loan money for less than the
the borrower would have to pay it. AS
it is now. the honest man pays and the
dishonest man aims to dodge the
ferret, hence the competition of the
man who escapes the tax keeps interest
rates down. so that the honest man who
loans $1,000 at per cent interest gives
up nearly one-third of it in taxes.
The whole plan of taxing moneys and
credits is wrong. both in principle and
practice. The men who are opposing
the tax ferret law should strike at the
root of the evil. So long as we tax mon
ey we must have a ferret system to
combat the dishonesty of men with
money to be taxed, but we ought to do
away with the ferrets by abolishng the
tax. Some have suggested the substi-
tuition of an income tax such as prevails
in England and Germany. but that has
all the objections of an inquisitorial
tax, most obnoxious in free country
There are fairer ways of raising state
revenue thru licenses. fees and visible
property taxes. The tax on money is
paid by the borrower If enforced. and
paid by the honest man to the gain of
the dishonest man if left to operate it
self. For this reason until the public
is ready to repeal the tax the ferret
should be encouraged in his work.

TWO scENEs.-TNE OLD AND new.

Forty years ago yesterday the sol
brating the victory at Fort Donelson
where $4,000 confederates surrendered
after a severe contest 1t was the
greatest victory thus far achieved by
our forces. 1t was accomplished after
great effort and severe suffering by our
soldiers, who not only encountered the
perils of war In their heroic assaults
upon fortified works, but the rigorous
chill of winter. AS they invested these
works. they found themselves covered
with snow one morning as they reclined
upon the hard ground, the next night
they were chilled to the marrow: and
on the morning when the surrender
came they expected to storm the works.
But instead there appeared a white
flag, and the air was then rent by the
Joyous EXPLANATIONS of thousands of
boys in blue. 1t was here that the in
lomitable Grant said mo terms 9TH
er than immediate and unconditional
surrender can be accepted. I propose
to move Immediately upon your works. :
That meant slaughter to many brave

saults had left long lines of dead who

happily averted by the surrender. That
stirring event marks one of the mile
stones OF the republic

General FitZhugh Lee, gallant repre-
sentative of the South. stood before the
iowa house of representatives and said
in a brief speech: "You know l was
once engaged in trying to make two
