STAMP TAX ADVOCATED
HENRY CLEWS DISCUSSES NEED
FOR INCREASED REVENUE.
High Tariff Under Present Conditions
Not Considered Desirable as
Lacking Stimulant.

If the farmers of the United States
now turn in and sell their products at
profitable prices the effect of the al
lies loan will be as beneficial to this
country as to England and France,
says Henry Clews, the well-known
New York banker, in his current let
ter on trade conditions.
Indeed" says Mr.. Clews, "we
must sell, for if our farmers do not
find a good market for their surplus
crops the result here will be disaster
and discomfort.
"Our exports are also being stimu-
lated, as every one knows, by heavy
shipments of war materials; so that,
in view of continued small imports,
the outlook is for a continued huge
excess of exports running at the rate
of about $10O,OOO,000 to $150,0O0,OOO
a month. Some experts already cal
culate that if the war continues, the
surplus when the fiscal year ends will
have reached anywhere from $780,
100000 Ito 81, 1,5O0,000,000. Continued
small imports due to Europe's limited
ability to sell, are problem that
time alone will solve.
"Our customs revenue is being
sharply reduced, and the treasury de-
felt is growing, with increasing ex-
penditures for preparedness ahead.
Some new form of taxation will be
inevitable. Very little additional can
be raised from the tariff, for the rea-
son that an advance in duties would
still further restrict imports, and
tend to diminish rather than increase
customs revenue. The sugar duties,
which now provide $50,0O0,000 of rev.
enue, ought to be retained, because
if cut off the consumer would prob
ably not receive any of the advan
tage. Small duties on tea and coffee
would bring considerable revenue and
would also be but slightly felt by the
consumer, if at all. Very consider
able revenue could be derived from
stamp taxes, one of the most efficient
and least Objectionable forms of tax
alton. Present war stamp taxes will
possibly be retained.
"The war has been largely, if not
entirely, discounted. We are now dis
counting the approach of peace.

\ Sign of Hard Times.

Yesterday one of the Sistare bows
tof Mecklenburg and Unionl drove
down with Ford load of fruits and
truck of various kinds. He had sold
out everything except about bushel
of beets when the newspaper man ran
into him. These he was industriously
offering and Dragging upon them TO
beat the band. He was doing more
talking over those beets than we have
heard him do in selling fifty bales of
cotton in a lump.
Now" said the newspaper man. Il
know times have changed. If there
were no other evidence of hard times.
TO see a man who has heretofore felt
that there was no way to go TO market
except at the head of a string of wag-
ons loaded with cotton, now selling
beets, would be proof enough. But
even selling beets in an automobile
doesn't look much like hard times"
ITO tell the truth" said he, Il like
never TO have got off with them beets.
Aimed to sell them but kept forget
ting that | had them"
Which one of the Sistare boys was
1t? We didn't know and he wouldn't
tell.

\ Real Smart Ike al Large.

The last issue of The Journal con-
tanned local saying that there would
be prayermeetings at certain homes
in the vicinity of Unionville. The re-
quest to make the announcement was
sent in the mail and had name sign
ed to it. The paper is informed that
the party whose name appeared on
the request did not sign il and that il
was sent for the purpose of embar-
RAISING the parties whose names were
mentioned and to ridicule the neigh
borhood prayer meetings. We do not
know who sent it. and it was received
in good faith and published as a sup
posed accommodation. And there. is
another thing that we do not know.
and that is. how any one can think il
a funny thing to make sneak of
himself. When a negro rowdy loads
up with a razor and pistol and a
bottle of colored I've and goes to a
negro church or camp meeting and
raises row in the open and perhaps
gets shot himself, if he is not killed,
the law takes hold of him and puts
him on the chain gang on the charge
of disturbing religious worhip. Yet
that rowdy darkey is a sweet scented
gentleman compared to the person
who will send a false announcement
to a newspaper for the purpose of
making sport of the efforts of any
body who is trying to do some good
by holding an humble prayermeeting.
The said darkey is open and above
board and is willing TO take the con-
sequences Of his act. The last is a
sneak, and like all snealis. shields
himself behind secrecy. That is the
way II looks if such an act were DELHI
crate and malicious. II it were mere
Is thoughtless act one who would do
it is to be pitied for not having more
sense.
