However desirable it was to defeat
the free silver agitation in 1896, did
the end justify the means employed
to accomplish that defeat? 1t is not
too much to say that the money
spent in 1896, fS16,OOO,0O0
to prevent the election of Bryan
resulted in political debaucherY
such as was never before experienced
in the Omitted States, and from which
the politics and business of this coun-
try have not even yet recovered. 1t
is not far from the truth to say that
the country has suffered more by rea
son Of the political corruption of the
1898 campaign than it would have sui
fered from the triumph of free silver
lamentable as that would have been
Bryan's triumph of free silver would
have given the markets terrible
shock, but Bryan could not have real
~ done much harm in practical way

bauchery which has brought about by

Income Tax Experience.

In England man with an income
of 81, 900 year pays $62.50 in hard cash
to the government each year as in
come tax. II his income is $500 he
must pay S175. and for all incomes
over that size the rate is the same
one twentieth of the income. Only
incomes of less than $500 are entirely
exempt.
Also in England there is an tnheri-
tance tax so heavy that it absorbs 8
per cent of all estates of $4,000, 900
value or over, decreasing however, for
smaller estates, so that for the small
lest it takes only per cent Of their
value.
From the inheritance taxes the
British treasury gets upwards of $780,
100000 and from the income taxes up
wards Of 800, 00O, 900 year. Indeed,
with higher tax rate, the yield of
the income tax has been as much as
100000, 900.
In Germ any over 10 per cent of the
income of the states come from the
income tax. In Italy over 16 per cent.
In France over per cent. In Japan
about5 per cent. In Sweden over IL
per cent.
The inheritance tax which gives
England about 8 per cent Of its total
revenue, gives Belgium over A per cent
and is said to be in practical use in
almost all of the European countries
except Russia and the Balkan states
II President Roosevelt some day i1
the future decides that the time has
come to formulate system" fol
progressive inheritance taxes he viii
find plenty of material to aid him or
the technical side in the experiences
of many other countries with theil
progressive taxation. The income
tax is forbidden to our federal govern
ment until the Constitution is amend

but the inheritance tax is within tn,
power of Congress to impose. Thes,
two forms Of taxation can be made t,

should, however, ever be adopted iii

Bank Judgment Reversed.

the Des Moines National bank against
the United States Fidelity and Guar
anty company, wherein judgment was
secured for $5,4OO on the bond of
Elton Kelly, former assistant cashier,
for $4,000, which turned up missing
in the bank The judgment was
granted on the claim that Kelly was
guilty of culpable negligence. Even
some of the witnesses for the bank
expressed the belief there was no evil
dence whatever that Kelly had any
thing to do with the loss Of the money.
Kelly was not permitted to appear in
the case, as it was civil action in
which he could neither gain or win.
The case was appealed with the sub
sequent reversal This nullifies the
