A Truthful Republican.

Erwin Wardman, editor of the New
York Press (Rep.), delivered an adj
dress at Utica, N. Y, on the evening
of March 9th, in which he charges
that the administration is using Fed
eral employees in every section OF the
country. Mr.. Wardman says: I'VE
sre struck with horror as the details
ere uncovered of a compact between
Mr.. Taft's managers and the high
financiers of Wall street, whereby his
candidacy is underwritten by those
very undesirable citizens against
whom so riproaring a war has been
waged for seven years, to land the res

The Dead Mans Tax.

This country has only begun to ap-
preciate the value of the inheritance
tax. President Roosevelt has urged
it and some of the states have laws
that get small returns from large for
tunes, but they are mere trifles COM
pared with what should be got.
During the present year Mrs. Ry-
lands, widow of the great millionaire
merchant of Manchester, died in Eng
land. She left fortune of $17,00G,-
600. The English law exacts estate
duties of 10 per cent. on the first mil
lion of pounds, and Is per cent on all
above that. There are also legacy
duties. So, in this instance we find
the taxes amounting to $3,25O,000,
which goes into the public treasury.
In the United States we are facing
deficit in the national finances. Great
Britain has just ended it's financial
year with increased revenue of ST.
100000 "This phenomenon" we are
told by the London Mail, sis main
ly accounted for by an increase of no
less than $4,150,000 in the estate and
death duties and by an increase of no
less than $2,535,0 in the property
and income tax. That a half of mil
lion sterling more of income tax
should have been collected in the past
quarter than in the corresponding
quarter Of last year is doubtless due to
the increased pressure which has
been put upon the income taxpayers
The treasury winds up it's year with
a surplus of $17,000000. And the in
crease has come not from new burdens
upon real estate and business, but from
the nations wealth-from the great
fortunes divided among heirs ant
from the owners of fortunes who are
well able to pay and who should be
made to pay.
When Jay Gould died he left a for.
tune of $70,000,000, and yet he hat
been paying taxes on less than a mil
lion dollars. The public did not bene
fit from his wealth. Every day large
American fortunes reported to the
courts show that they had dodget
taxes for years, and there is no Law
to reach them and secure for the pub
lie the share that 1t ought to nave.
The English and French handle
these things better than the Ameri
cans. We should be guided by theil
experience.-Balto. American. 8.

LEGISLATION and Finance.

The American Congress in DOtn
Houses-that is, the Senate Committee
on Finance and the House Committee
on Banking and Currency-spent the
entire winter in imaginings as TO
what constitutes sound banking sys-
tenn. with the result that there are
nossibly more different banking sys-
TENS. all absolutely sound, than there
are separate sorts OF Democrats al
absolutely orthodox. The d1sputa-
lions as to "feenance" in American
councils of state doubtless are more
profound than the arguments In the
cabins of a Mississippi cotton planta-
ton on the great question in ornltnoi-
ogy as to where jaybird spends MS
Fridays, but they are not half so IN
teresting; they are more recondlte' out
less diverting.
But it appears that Congress has
given over the thing as hopeless OF
Immediate solution, and INTENDS 10
raise a commission to go UP and down
the earth in chase of a sound banking
system that will stand hitched.
There are such things. There is
one in Canada, one in England, one In
France. and one in Germany. Either
one of these adopted by the Unlteo
States would be vast Improvement
over the makeshift of more than two
score years that has been the source
of more than ten thousand times ten
thousand unnecessary and cruel bank
rupticies.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Lincoln, instead
of appointing Senator Fessenden, OF
Maine, a perfect master of the science
of finance, Secretary of the Treasury,
chose for that important place Sena-
tor Chase, of Ohio, who was densely
and defantly ignorant of the prln-
ciples of finance. The result was we
had a financial system as bad as bad
could we'll be, but not quite so bad as
that of the Confederates.
Chase injected fiatism into the cur
rency. Some of it remains~in it to
this day, and much of it sticks to the
public mind to this day.
And that is why the American Con-
gress is always bewildered when it
tackles the mighty question of fee
nance. Washington Post.
