Free Silver and the Farmer.
That the armers in many parts of
our country have been suffering can
hardly admit of doubt, says Profes—
sor H. W. Farnham in the Yale Review
for A ugust. They have shfi‘ered from
the competition of India Argentina, and
Russia; from drought and (,ther cli-
matic vicissitudes, and last of all the
trolley car and the bicycle have come.
in to lower the prices of their horses.
But how would an inflation of the cur-
xericy, such as would be produced by
the free coinage of silver, help them ?
The manner in which it is supposed to
work can best be illustrated by a hy-
Let us take the aver-
patheticul case.
age indebted farmer who has a mort-
gage of $1,000 on which he pays seven
per cent interest. Suppose the value
of his crop to be $2,560. If he has
trouble in paying his interest, as he
claims, his operating and living expens
es, including the seventy dollars inter-
est, must be nearly equal to his incozc.
Let 'us assume that his expenses are
81,400. Now on the theory of the infla-
tionists, if the currency were doubled
under the free coinage Of silver, his
price would be doubled, bringing him
51,000 instead of $1, 500. But what as-
surance has he that his expenses will
not also be doubled ?- As far as com.
modities are concerned, they are likely
to rise quite as fast as, if not faster
than, his income. If so, his margin
would be only raised from 13100 to $200,
a small sum compared with the princi-
pal of his debt. The only method by
which he might hope to increase this
undid be to keep down the wages that
he pays to his help. In this way the in-
debted farmer might for a time help
himself at the expense Of the wage-re-
Thcrciorr, assuming the most
favorable case possible, the farmer
would make but a small gain, and that
temporarily. For on account of the
short time while mortgages usually
run, the farmer would not reap the-full

benefit of cheap money, unless he could
raiseenough to pay offhis debt in a very
short time, because if he wanted tears-
new he would be charged a higher rate
or" interest, proportional to the expect-
ed depredation of money.
Whitney and Cleveland.
2dr. Whitney suggests the true 3
pianation of the apparent worry of 50%
The third-
term talk is not due to anything Mr.
editors about a third term.
Cleveland or his friends have said or
done or are like-.y to say or do, says the
Philadelphia Times, but to a recogni-

The certain thing is the Pres-
Ident’s strength with his party and the
party ’s present strength before the
country, both of which are likely to be
still greater a year hence.
Mr. Whitney’s appreciation of the
popular strength of the administration,
based on the achievemmi, is the more
noteworthy because his personal rela-
tions with the President have not appar-
ently been very intimate of late, and
the anti-Cleveland Democrats of New
York have been rather inclined to count
him on their side.
There is no Democrat either in New
York or elsewhere whose judgment
would cOmmand such unleserved re-
spect from all honest members of his
party. He has already shown himself
a leader of consummate skill and of
complete unselfishness. If he would
put himself at the head of a party or;

that he would lead it to victory. When

The Bicycle as a Disturber.
Considering the unassuming appear-
ance which the bicycle presents, and
the quiet, modest air with which it
moves, it seems strange that ‘it should
i
. it.
-have created a great disturbance in
he a fiiiirs of mankind on two or more
continents. It certainly does not look
as if it could build' up or tear dOw‘n
great industries, but it has accomplish-
ed the former, and is charged with hav-
ing effected the latter. Many millions
of dollars are invested in the manufac-
ture of the wheel, and thousands of
men are engaged 1n making and selling
Thousands of miles of new and
well constructed highways owe their
existence 'to the bicycle. But the liv-
ery stable business, the manufacture
of carriages, and the horse-racing in-
dustry have lost many millions, and
seem destined to sufi'er still further in-
jury from the introduction of this ve-
hicle.
The influence of the bicycle as a dis-
turber has been felt in many directions
outside of industrial circles. ‘ Preachers
have thundered against it. and many
writers in the newspapers and maga«
zines have discussed it pro and con from
every imaginable standpoint. Doctors
have denounced, and doctors have de-
fended it. “Society” treated it with
quiet contempt for some years, and
then adopted it with an avidity that is
atoning for past neglect. The courts
have been called upon to define its sta-
tus and have decided that it is a vehicle
and must pay toll on turnpikes and toll
bridges, and must keep off the side-
walks and, at night, must show a light.
In sp1te of all complaints, the bicycle
has evidently fixed itself as a perman-
ency. It is ridden by rich and poor,
and by white and black. It is a demo-
cratic institution.

CORPORATIONB’ TAXES.
Comptroller Roberts’ nepiy to Auegd'uou
Conce‘rnfng the Rate.
ALBANY, Aug. 16.-—Comptroller Rob-
ert's this mornlng, speaking about a state.
ment circulated through the press of the
state that the "tax rate is 3. 24, because
lar rge and wealthy corporations have been
lightly taxed in return for liberal contri-
butions to campaign funds,” said that
during the fiscal year ending Sept. 30,
1894, 775 new corporations were added to
the list of those paying corporation taxes
under the provisions of chapter 542, laws
of 1880. Since that date 1,084 have been
added. When the present administration
assumed charge, the entire number of tax-
able corporations upon the books of the
department was 2,152. The number
which have actually paid tax is now 4,011.
From the new companies placed upon the
list by the present administration taxes
amounting to 8463, 783.14 haVe been (101-
lected, assessed upon 8200, 869,379 of cap-
ital stock that had not previously paid
any corpOratlon tax into the state treas-
ury
The total amount rebated by previous
'comptrollers, which had to be allowed on
last year’s payments, was 8159, 542. 36. Of
this amount 887, 727. 48 was granted by
the preceding comptroller in November,
1893, and the entire amount taken from
the taxes of 1894. If this rebate had not
been granted, the collections of the de-
partment for the year 1894 wOuld have ex-
ceeded those of 1893 by $154, 422. 22.
The total amount of tax collected dur-
ing the first ten months of this fiscal year
is $163,674. 31. This indicates that the
aggregate for the entire year will exceed
the largest arbount collected since the
passage of chApter 501 by more than $250, -
090,notw1thstanding the depression in
bigness during the period covered by the
panson.
The total number of new corporations
added to the tax list from 1884 to 1893,
both inclusive, was 1,067. The total num-
ber added in 1894 was 775, and thus far
in 1895 1,886 have been added. In addi-
tion to this there is now in the ha’nds of
the corporation tax bureau a. list Of nearly
20,000 corporations, all the facts in regard
to which have been secured, and they are
being placed upon the tax roll as rapidly
as thbe papers can be prepared and sent out.
