The holidays are at hand, they should give Congress no excuse to lose any of its precious time. The fourth of March is rolling rapidly toward us, and before it gets here, Congress should have perfected some sound plan for the financial, relief of the country There c,au be no doubt as to the advisability of the Govern ment's promoting the Nicaragua Canal enterprise. Action on the proposition is delayed only be cause of difference of opinion as to t'hfi nmrifir mv of takinsr hold. J Ihseems that Congress ought to 3e able to get down to a business basis of assisting the enterprise. The time is ripe for the building of the canal. The time of "giving millions upon millions to corporations has -passed never to return. President Cleveland is said to favor Government control of the canal if it is to be built with Gov ernment money, and as he has the last word to say in the mat ter the people can rest satisfied that there will be no jobbery in any act that gets his approval manship to lay these taxes so that they will be as easily borne as possible. Since it is a recog nized fact that we must have taxes it is perfectly proper to speak of a popular tax and the income tax fills the bill. It is not popular because it falls on comparatively few peo ple, but because it is believed by the great majority of the people of this country, including many who are subject to it, to be just. The opponents of the income tax have frequently shown the weakness of their position by just such talk as that of Mr. Cockran. They have also in dulged freely in the game of bluff as they do when they denounce the tax as unconstitutional on the ground that it is class legisla tion. "We have courts ready to test that question and yet we have not heard of any opponent of the income tax, who cares to take the trouble of sustaining in the regular and effective way the assertion so often glibly made that the income tax is unconstitutional. Mr. Cockran is a lawyer ot some repute and as he is soon to retire from Congress he could make both fame and money by convincing the courts that the in come tax should be declared inoperative.

"The larg est proportionate number of this foreign element is in the Xorth Atlantic division and the far West. In the first it is 47. 21 per cent, of the whole and in the last 53.67. The South has the small est proportion, 6.02 per cent, in the South Atlantic division and 7.59 in the South Central divis on the middle West has 43.02 per cent,," says the exchange from which these figures are taken. That tells the whole story. The isms that have cursed this country are not na tive-born. They have been brought over by the foreign ele ment in our population. This foreign element is very small, in the South and therefore the dan gerous isms are reduced to the minimum in this section, but Populism is one of them.

The chaotic state of the public mind Yvith regard to the general question of methods by which currency reform can be safely and sal isf actory reached is shown by the press comment of the week. Some oppose the Car lisle plan as altogether to favor able to the National banks, Yvhile others object that the con ditions are made so hard for the banks thaf they will not accept them. Some fear that the plan would force the country upon a silver basis or lead to disastrous "wild-cat" bullying, while others see in it only the triumph of gold monomentalism, with the State bank provision as the only redeeming feature. Some see in it too much inflation, others too much contraction. And so on though the Yvhole list of distinc tive features. Moreover, many of the leading newspapers of the couutry vary so much from day to day in their criticism that it is impossible to tell what will be the drift jf opinion next week. A IHM'ULAR TAX. In his recent speech in favor of the repeal of the income tax, Mr. Bourke Cockran said: "When von o-entlemen here be lieve that you are levying a tax: nnnn H5.0O0 rp,rsons. and there- "X - j- - - , fore it is a popular tax, as some of its supporters have declared it to be. can vou conceive the mpflflino nf -what vou sav? A popular tax? Conceive for one mnmptit the character of such an assertion. Why, gentlemen might as well taiK aoout a popular uis- 1 M ease or a popular piague. As the Atlanta Journal says, to use an apt if not elegant expres sion this is "too thin." When it is said that the income tax is popular everybody knows that the term is used relatively. Ai ta.Ya.finn is a. biirden and in the dreams of Arcadian government the tax-gatherer finds no place But we are still bound down to practicalities and everybody knows that taxes must be levi ed if we are to enjoy the protec tion and benefits of government. It is therefore the part of states- Otir Paper Currency. FniTintipm-ini' nml Millill? Joill'Iitl!. . The United States is, Yvi'.h the exception of Russia, the only r.a tion of .the nrst rami m wnicn uie paper currency is issued by the government. In our own case the conversion of the public treasury into a bank of issue is nf the. e-il legacies of the war period. We have not space here to sum up ail tne arguments on either side, out it can, we think, be proved that the true function of our government, so far as money is concerned, l limited to the coinage of metallic that is. to the estab- . , hshment of standards and the is sue of gold, silver and subsidiary coins Yvitn tne government stop guaranteeing that such coins do conform to those standards. The use of government paper leaY'eis in the hands of the legislature a power oTer the business of the country, which is always dan gerous and liable to abuse; it im poses- obligations on the public treasury Y'hich are out side of its legitimate functions, and makes its condition a con stantly disturbing factor in trade as has been only too apparent during the past year; it fosters a snirit, of dependence and a tcn- rlflndv tn Innk to rovcriimcnt in itiative rather than to individual enterprise; and it encourages a general disposition to condone extraY-agance in government by 'listnmiivc t.h avp.raL'fi man 1o look upon the public treasury as au institution which creates money at will instead of a simple aisoursmg agency Yvnicn pays out the monev he and others contribute from their earnings.
