THE TAX FERRETs.

The Clinton county board of super
yisors has in mind to employ tax
ferrets and Mr.. j. H. Ingwersen, a
prominent citizen, advises against
the plan for reasons whose force will
be recognized by business men gen
orally In letter to the Clinton Her
aid he says:
Il am satisfied in my own mind
that the inclination on the part Of the
lawmakers TO harass and annoy men

costly period of the war. The policy
OF annexation was adopted. however,
and British consols fell from 101 to
91A, the lowest average monthly
point touched during the war From
6 635, 100000 in 1899, the lowest point
since the Napoleonic wars, the debt
rose to Sos, 100000 in 1903. The
national savings of thirty-six years of
peace were swept away by national
borrowings during three years of
war.
BY March 81. 1909, the debt had
been reduced to e754,00O,O0o. The
price of consols. however, has still
gone down. Their fall is attributed by
Mr.. Hirst to the state of the inter
national money market. the heavy
issues of colonial government secur-
tiles, and municipal stocks in compe-
tition with consols, and the annual
emission OF some five millions of
Irish land stocks. He has no doubt
that but for the annual appropriation
to the sinking fund the 211s per cent
consols would have fallen we'll below
eighty.
The debt of the German empire has
risen from 267,s0o,o0o marks in 1881
to 4,253,5oo.o0o in 1903. The debt OF
the various states has increased in
the meantime from 5,244, 100000 to
14,362, 100000 marks. Communities
with more than 10000 inhabitants
have had an increase of from III 500,
600 to 5,295,7Oo,o0o marks.

Henry Clews writes that the whole
year has been period OF readJust-
ment: that we have reached climax
in the upward movement of prices,
and that the consequence is a whole
some change. He says further that
the complaints about the high cost
of living at first originated with the
consumer. They now come from the
producer and distributor who find
the enhanced cost of doing business
serious detriment. Economy is at
last taking the place of extravaganza
with the consumer while efficiency
has become the watch-word among
producers and distributors. At the
same time, owing TO good crops the
the cost of living promises to be
further reduced by drop in the
price of food products. According
TO the statistics OF the Department
of Agriculture, the combined cereal
crops of 1910 show an increase of s
per cent over last year, corn and
oats reporting record breaking yields.
AS a result of the big corn crop the
price of meat has already declined,
and this cereal being an important
element in the cost of raising cattle
it would seem as if the price of meat
should remain on lower basis. Mr..
Clews reports improvement in the
monetary situation. Money is more
plentiful and easier rates prevail

The CREDIT OF NATIONS.

The national debt of the United
States and the municipal debt of sew
eral of the large American cities are
reviewed at length and in illuminat-
ing fashion by Francis w. Hirst, edi
tor of the Economist, in volume
just published by the national none
tary commission, under the title THE
Credit of Nations Mr.. Hirst's dis
cussion also covers similar treatment

Tracing the national debt of the
United States from the time when 1t
began by reckless issues OF paper
money by the colonies. Mr.. Hirst finds
much to commend and some things to
condemn. In the reduction OF the
civil war loans between 1880 and 1890
and the saving in interest OF about
$4,000 000 thereby, the author sees
reflected the high credit Of che Unit
cd States. but in the financing OF
1900, after the Spanish War. the
author criticizes the treasury for ex-
tending maturing bonds thirty years,
which. he says, put nearly S550,00O.-
900 of the public debt beyond the
chance of extinction for nearly a
quarter Of century except by pur-
chase in the open market. He quotes

action was enormous
