tent of the ore taken away to the smelters. If the actual value of a mining property is fixed and accepted this year then would come the wran- gle over reducing this total value as actual values were removed from year to year, so even that would not remove the trouble that ever has been and ever will be. over mine taxation. Again. a determined actual value on mine today might be shown to be ouIy trivial part of its value by future results.
 So. to our mind. the only means of assessing mining property are linn tied to two nethods-oue is to fix the value on the annual product and the other is to take the value of the stock resting upon it. The stock would be a very poor basis of as sessment. as bad management might make that worthless even when 1t rested on a property of great merit.

THE TRRIFF AND THE CONSUMER

The democratic policy of reducing the tarif cn the neeessaries Of life and especially those articles at pres ent controlled by monopolies and trusts. will be enacted into law in the very near future. Upon this platform the democratic party was successful Millions of American consumers turned 10 the democratic party for relief from the enforced tribute de- manded by the protected trusts and monopoiies and as result of the dem oeratic victory they confidently look forward to a reduced cost of living The democratic party has set in mo ton the legal machinery to fulfih their uledees to the people. Ths high protective tariff is to be reduced ana We sincerely hope for the success Of the democratic party in the future that the reductions in the tariff will ultimately find their way to the con sumer. But we must remember that the manufacturer, the 'middiefnsTa' the jobber and the retailer stand be- tween the consumer and the redue-  ton. The reductions may be lab sorbed" before they reach the com mon people" and in that event. there will be a widespread unrest and dis satisfaction. We read in the daily press Of the recurring reduction in freight rates brought about by state and national commission but SO far jobbers and merchants are the only ones vino are reaping the benefits. The high retail prices remain the same There is the danger that the present tariff reduction will work the same way.

pAYroN,s FINE exAMpLE.

The city of Dayton O, has given the world splendid example O. cour- age aud enterprise by raising a two million dollar fund for flood proven tion.
 The money was given in varying amounts by popular subscription. At the final public meeting held for the purpose of rounding out the S2.OOO. 900. the enthusiasm was so great that the subscription overshot the mark by s150.000 Dayton, therefore. will have flood preventative fund of S215e.oO0 and it is proposed to set the engineers at work immediately to determine the necessary preventative measures and their cost.
 A few weeks ago Dayton was over vhelued by great flood whicn caused property loss estimated at more than s1OO ooO.OOO. The city was scene of death aud desolation, but tLe citizens pulled themselves togeth- CT and began the arduous labor of clearing up the wreckage and restor- ing order. Once the work was fairly under way there developed a determi- nation to take steps for the avoidance. of inundations similar to the one of last March.
 It is no small undertaking to raise S2.0OO.OOe right on the heels of ca- lamity which had made the name of Dayton a synonym for disaster, but the people of the plucky Ohio city have accomplished it and the success Of the campaign is to their everlast- ing credit. The result shows that they have faith in their city's future and that they have confidence in their ability to protect themselves. Their action assures Dayton's progress and wiil be of iucaIculabie value as an ex- ample to other eommunEses that are compelled to deal with conditions oi go much import
