GOVERNMENT REVENUE.
tor of the Evening Star:

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Will you please prescribe the methods
by which the government collects the
money to pay it's expenses? c. H. P.
Under the constitution Congress has
power to lay taxes. duties, imposts and
excuses. This provision includes every
species of taxation, direct and indirect,
specific and ad valorem. The only llmi-
tation placed Upon this taxing power Ia
tina these taxes shall be uniform
throughout the United States and that
direct taxes shall be apportioned among
the several States which nay be In
cluded within the Union, according to
their respective numbers. In practise
the national government has obtainaH
it's revenue from taxes or imports and
has resorted to internal imposts only
when such have become necessary.
The term internal revenue" has been
restricted in it's meaning to such rev.
enues only as are collected under the
Internal revenue bureau connected with
the treasury department and does not
include all revenues that are, properly
speaking, from internal sources, that Is,
from sources other than duties levied
at the frontiers upon foreign commodi-
ties. Thus, money arising from the.
sale of public lands. from patent fees, OF
the of the postal service, ara
not generally known as internal rev.
enues."-Ed.l

PROHIBITION PARTY.
iditor of the Evening Star;

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
When was the Prohibition party frst
established, and what has been its hiss
tory? d. T.
1.-THE National Prohibition party was
organized in Chicago in 1869. The first
national nominating convention was
held at Columbus three years later, and
nominated James Black, of Pennsylva-
MIA, for President and the Rev. John
Brissell, of Michigan, for Vice-Presi-
dent. The second convention was held
in Cleveland on May II, 1876, when @.
C. Smith was nominated for President
and G.. T. Stewart for Vice-President.
National conventions have been held

SHIPPING SUBSIDIES.
, the Editor of the Evening Star:

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Is there n particular advantage in
shipping subsidies to the European
countries. and what would be the gain
for the United States of following their
example? B. w. B.
TIT is to be presumed that shipping
subsidies have benefited European ma
tons or they would not continue paying
them. England pays some Sc, 0OO, 900 an
nually, France and Germany about
IS. 900, 900 each and Japan pays $4,000, 900.
1t is maintained that subsidy would
benefit the United States by making it
possible for American vessels to COM
pete with foreign for ocean trafflc.-Ed.l

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Why is alloy always mixed with

because otherwise 1t would be too
soft. Gold in its pure state is only q
trife harder than lead ard very much
softer thar "copper", silver, platinum.
zinc or iron. As a consequence of this
it is alleged with copper or silver, and
