FULLER'S OPINION.

Thp riilf JoHlc or the United ttatea fuprfiu- I'ourt Ob the liiromr Tax ltw'a Validity .1IU Unuom for litfUrIne InraniM from I'.rnt naC lloutU I'ncoutltntlocl itomalndcr of tho Uw la oll Kor ci-. WAftmxarox, April 53 The fall text ol the opinion of Chlcl-JtHllco Fuller in the income tax cR recently announced in the United States supreme court has been made public. The clue 'justice's opinion dwells upon the contention of the claimant m thecases (Pollard v. Farmers" Loan and Trust Co, and Hyde ts. The Continental Trust Co.) against the constitutionality of the law, and in a disseration upon the natter of taxes within the meaning of the constitution refers to the historical circumstances attending the framing and adoption of that instrument, and as to what at the time of that event were recognised as direct taxes. "Congress." says the chief justice, "tinder the articles of confederation, had no actual operative power of taxation. It could call upon the states for their respective contributions or quotas as previously determined upon, but in the cae of the failure or omission of the state to furnish such contribution there were no means of compulsion, as congress had no power to lay any las upou individuals. In the course of his elaborate production the chief justice says: Tlie requirement of the constitution is that no direct tax shall be laid otherwise than by npportioninent-the prohibition is not acraht direct taxes on land, from which the implication is sought to be drawn that indirect taxes on laud, would be constitutional. Unless. therefore, a tax upon rents or income issuing out of lauds Ls intrinsically so diiTerent from a tax on the land itself that it belongs to a wholly diiTerent class of taxes, such taxes must be recorded a fallinp within the same category as a tax on real estate e. o. nominee. The name of the tax is unimportant. The real question is; Is there any basis upon which to rest the contention that real estate belongs to one of the two great classes of taxes, and the rent or income which is the incident of its ownership belongs to the other". W'v are unable to ereeive any ground for the alleged distinction. "Not hing can be clearer than that what the constitution intended to guard against was the exercise by the general government of the power of directly taxing- poriou. and property within any state through a majority made up frai the other states, and." he says. ive are of the opinion that the law iu question. s- Jar as it levies i a tax on the rents of income or real estäte, is iu violation of the constitution J and i invalid. I "The tax on government stocks" the chief justice further cites, "is ; thought by this court to be a tax on j the cuutraet, a tax on the power to j borrow money on the credit of the United States, and consequently to be repugnant to the constitution. Upon each of the other questions argued at the bar. to wit: 1 Whether the void provisions as to rents and income from real estate invalidated the whole act; Ü. Whether as to the incom from personal property as such, the act is unconstitutional as laying direct taxes, and Jl. Whether any part of the tax, if not considered as a direct tax, is invalid for want of uniformity on either of the grounds suggested the justices who heard the argument are equally divided, and, therefore, no opinion is expressed. The result is that the decree of the circuit court is reversed and the cause remnnilftl with directions to enter a decree in favor of the complainant in respect only of the voluntary payment of the tax on the rents and income of the real estate of the defendant company, and of that which it holds in trust, and on the income from th municipal bonds owned or so held by it.

Wasiiim.ms. April 2;. Kx-Senator tleorge K. Kdmuuils, of Vermont, who has been in Washington for some days on business before the supreme court, is deeply concerned over the probable results of the recent agitation in favor of the unlimited free coinage of silver ut the ratio of 10 to 1. He was in the senate at the time of the first of the recent legislation affecting silver was enacted, and remained a member until after the passage of the law of lsy knowu as the Sherman silver-purchasing act, and is therefore familiar with the motives and progress of it all. A reorter asked him what sentiment iuthieueed congress to pass the law of 1573 demonetizing silver. "That was very plain at the time," he answered. "For many years silver, sax-e as a snb;diary currency, had been practically unknown iu the United States. Without speaking by the otlicial tigure 1 should say that all told only about s.OOO.OOo of silver dollars had been coined, and at that time not one-half, nor one-quarter, of them were in circulation. This fact, aud the tendency of the greatest manufacturing country iu the world, Hngland. to go to a single gold standard, led congre.-s to the conclusion that it was the best thing for us to do. All the people who are raising such a row over the law. and who were in the congress at the time, Seuator Stewart and the rest, were in favor of it." "The luw of 1STS, which demonetized silver, changed the unit of value to a gold dollar of 25 3-10 grains. "Was it generally understood at that time, Mr. Edmunds, that the law was intended to put the United States upon the single gold standard in tinancial operations?"

"Certainly. All the nations with which we did business, or most of them, were going to the gold standard alone and the tendency of all trade pointed to that as the enevitable Iwsis of values. Our fathers had started out with the double standard, which was all right as long as the relative value of the two metals remained unchanged. Hut prior to the congress had been compiled to etiange the ratio twice. I think, s that there was nothing permanent about it. At that date silver was worth something more than gold, upon the iegnl ratioof the two, and there was no objection then to making the latter the standard of value." "Do you agree with Senator Allison that the adoption of the gold standard was a mistake?" "I do not." answered the ex-senator with considerable emphasis. "The mistake lies in the fact that we have not stuck to it. The whole trouble lies in the fact, which has always existed and always will exist, that people are in debt. If there were no debta to pay there would never be a word said about the character of the currency of the country. Until human nature shall have been reconstructed there will alwaj-s be the struggle to discharge financial obligations at the least cost. "Do you apprehend any seriou-s result.-, from the present agitation?" was asked. "Unless it lie met by a campaign of information r.nd intelligence, many peopie who do not take note of circumstances within their own observation and who do not know the history of all similar movements, will be led astray. Finding nothing to refute the assertions made in thespeeches and publica tions of the silver propaganda, those to whom they are addressed will conclude that they are true- The duty of the patriot, especially the young patriot, is to engage in this campaign. It can be conducted by means of school district meetings and by the issue of pamphlets short, crisp, printed in large type, leaded so as to be easily read hy lamplight. Once the people of the country not the highly cultivated, but the ordinary men of average intelligence, and honest become thoroughly informed upon the subject, and there will be no danger that they will go wrong- It is in the lack of knowledge that danger lies." "I am not opposed to bimetallism, per se, if conducted upon the same ba-sis that the fathers practiced it. Increase the amount of silver in the dollar, or decrease that in the gold dollar, so that they will approximate each other in value," and the objection will' largely disappear. Hut the disadvantages of that are obvious the shifting values woul'd require almost continual legislation to keep the dollars at a oarity." SECRETARY CARLISLE Will Take it ll.inil In the Co mini; t'kiupilRfi In Krtiturkf. Washington, April 2fi. Various announcements have been made in Kentucky and elsewhere that Secretary CarlLsle will participate m the Ken tucky campaign. It Ls stated by Mr. Vansenden. the private secretary of Secretary Carlisle, that he will participate in the campaign, but not until after the state convention, which will Ik held the latter nart of June. The secretary may. however, see fit to exercise his intluence in a quiet wa' before the convention meets and close friends are not at all convinced that the secretary may not be induced to speak in the campaign before the meeting of the state convention.

REVIVING TRUSTS. Rome of tin- TruM Thal Ar Urorrttii; from liif I tr: shock ol I'vilut'luc )ule. Many trusts were hit hard by ihe new tariff bill and a few were knocked completely out. The reductions of tarilf duties on articles manufactured by trust was not radical enough, and main- of t:e trusts that have been iu

great distress since last August, and 1 have been selllnir at greatly reduced j prices, are beginning to show signs of i renewed life and activity. In most j cases prions cannot be put back to where they were in McKinley days, but the trusts will do the best they can mder the circumstances. A evidence of what they are doing, we note that one page of the Iron Age of March 21 contains mentions of five or six trut j that have recently advanced, or are j ubout to advance, pricev The shot trust has withdrawn the .2S per cent, discount heretofore allowed to ton-lot buyers. This is the second or third advance made by this trust since January. Tim preent price of drop shot up to H is 51-1" for I 25-pound bags. 30 cents for ..-pound bags. The price for 25-pound bags of this sine shut was SI. It) in July. 1D2Several advances had then been made since the wastage of the McKinley bill in 1SPD. The Wilon bill reduced the duty on shot from i'-i to 1 '-4 cents per pound. It should have taken otl the other half. The bolt trust has advance! prices about 5 per cent. The manufacturers of carriage and machine bolts, bolt ends. etc.. decided upon this advance j at a meeting held in New York on March 11 These manufacturers have had some kind of a trust ever since l;s, when they began selling from one list. The Wilson bill reduced duties from 24 io 1,, cents per pound. We are exporters and importers of bolts and nuts and there is no good reason for retaining any duty on them. The window glass trust, which has been in a very bail way for some time, is getting together acain with promise of better prices. The Wilson bill reduced duties on window glass an average of about M percent If it had been reduced ß) per cent, the manufacturers would have had to spend their time making improvements sadly needed instead of holding meetings to form trusts which advance prices and reduce wages. There would have been lower prices, more competition, more glass made, more wages paid. The lead pipe and sheet lend trust announces changes in prices which are probably advances. The Wilson "bill made a heavy reduction in the duty on lend pipe. The barb wire trust, which has been pushing prices up during the last month or two. is meeting with ontddc competition, but it Ls expected that the mill that is cutting prices will soon have all the orders it can till, and that the trust can then dictate higher prices. The tack trust has adopted a new price list which the manufacturer say "will correct inequalities in the present list by advancing prices on the sumller sizes of tacks." Tht- trust has probably made more and greater advances in prices since l5?v than any other of our hundreds of trusts. Every year it snakes substantial advances. Since September. l-l'l, prices have been advanced from 100 to 30 J per cent Carpet tacks that sold for 15 cents in ISM now sell for 35 cents. Gimp and lacetacks worth 1) cents in 1;01 now sell'for 37 to 57 cents. The last advance will probably add a few cents to these figures. The Wilson bill reduced duties on tacks from an average of about 75 to 25 per cent. Our manufacturers are exporting tacks and selling at reduced prices to foreigners and it is not im possible that these tacks could be rciraported at a probt after paying 2j per cent, dtitv. It is remarkable that this trust is able to maintain present prices with only 25 per cent, duty to keep out foreign competition. I'OsSibly there is an international agreement which prevents European manufacturers from selling here and our manufacturers from selling in Europe. Our total imports" of tacks in lsJ2 were valued at S3. Our exports probably exceeded $10,000 in value. All of our manufacturers arc in the present com bine. Five of the largest constitute the Atlas Tack corporation. I'.vnox W. Holt. THE SUGAR TRUST. A Stsstntlr Monopoly nt It Old Trlc' lirc.m to Adv.nre I'rlri-s a Soon a ( on cr Adjourned. The sugar trust is continuing its business of refining sugar, bribing legislators, juggling stocks, advancing prices and making anarchists. From September, J0l. to March, ls5. the sugar trust declared that it was mak ing no money; that there was but little protection in the new law: that foreign competition was keeping prices ruinously low; and that the future for the refining industry in this country was very uncertain. When it declared its regular quarterly dividend of 3 per cent, last December it declared that it was not from profits under the newlaw but from surplus accumulated before August 2. 1st I. Those who have watched the tricks of the trust during the past eight years and who understand present conditions Icncw that the trust was simply playing a big game of bluff. They knew that it made millions of dollars dnring these six months from the sales of RUgir refined from raws imported before the dutv went into effect. They knew that the price of refined sdgar was kept down bv the trust firt, to prevent antagonistic legislation: second, to obtain, if possible, more favorable legislation; third, to prevent orders from coming in and thus to give color to the statements that the trust wan suffering from severe competition. They heard that the trust was importing Dutch sugar and selling small quantities at a loss to cause tho quotation of prices on imported retired fcugars thnt would impress congress and the howlers against the suaar trust. They knew and prophesied that as soon as congress had adjourned the

trust would legin to advance price.

Worn stocks and to declare dlvulotuli from present protiis. Hotween March 1 and 7 the price of granulated sugar was advanced 1-d of a cent a pound. On March 7, the directors met and declared the regular quarterly 3 per cent, dividend and gave notice that "the stockholders of the sugarcompany should get it firmly in their minds that they have a property of great earning capacity," and that everything is saccharine and lovely for the future. Sugar trust stock advanced from 0 5 on March 2 to 103 S on Maren 12. Disregarding its gloom forebodings for six mouths the Sugar Trade Journal (organ of the tmstl said on March 11: "As anticipated in our last issue, a further advance of 1-:. cent per pound was made this week in refined sugars, bringing the price of granulated to 3.6'i cent per pound nett, which is still a low price, comparatively speaking. The demand for refilled increased under the stimulus of improving prices: everyb-Hly likes an advancing market and the end of a continuous depression. The season is favorable for larger business, and April to July are always good months. In this connection we call attention to the better outlook, as given by authority, in connection with tho declaration of the regular dividend. by the American Sugar Uefining Co. There ean be no question that the stocks of this company are now regular dividend-paying investments.' It will be many months before the next congress meets. llcsides. the trust does not anticipate unfriendly legislation from the republicans; it has. owned them in the past, and it expects to own them in the future, in spite of public opinion, which it has so grossly outraged. The net wholesale price of granulated .Mtgar is now : cents per pound, while the price of raw (centrifugals) Ls 3 cents. The price of granulated may be expected to advance until it is 1 cent above the price of raw. It may go a few'points above, but it cannot long remain there or importations will begin. At that di 'Terence, the trust will make, clear profit, about seven-tenths of a cent on every pound. 515.js per ton. or 30,00 ,0j a year on refined sugars sold. The trust contributed to both political parties in lr-52, and undoubtedly to the traitors of both parties in t ie senate in lsl3 and läi'4. Its total contributions were probably less than S-.0p0.n. Ilenee its total profits for the first year will be S2-.0 J.0DJ. As aWut one-half of this profit comes from the protection duty the, trust has certainly made wise and judieiou? political investments. In Ac meantime what are the people going to do about it? livnox m iiout. FOREIGN SALES. Tin-Suln of Amerlr.m Worden In l.;!:iml Kdet-l or th ev Ijur. The .-ale of American woolen cloths at a Drotit in Bradford, hngland tne citadel of the great llritish manufac tures of wolens is reported to the state department by United States Con sul Meeker. The consul says that American cloths, suitable for men's clothing, shown him by a P.radford merchant, had been purchased in liradford and that the representative of a Kew York hon has just placed orders for American gooas in Glasgow and Aberdeen, and expects to sell them in London. Why should there be any surprise that American manufacturers thus boldly attack the Dritish lion in his favorite den the center not only of I.ritish bat of the world's woolen manfacture and woolen trade? Did not the Wilson tariff law give our manufacturers free wool more than six months ago? Tnat law luted directly vast loads from all our woolen industries, enabling them to procure far cheaper and more suitable wools, while indirectly it reduced all other expenses which enter into the cost of production. England, after clothing her own people, exports and sells annually woolens to the value of $120.00 MWO or more. The United States, thou.'h manufacturing annually 3iX).UW,0W worth of woolens, has been until now prevented by our own high taritls from competing in foreign markets, and hence our exports of woolens have been insignificant. Now, hoivcver, thanks to the Wilson free wool bill. American woolens will have an entrance into the markets of every nation on the globe, and the new trade will eventually become enormously profitable to our manufacturing classes. X. V. Herald. I MrKlnlrr ProteetlonUt? It is alleged that Gov. McKinley has modified his tarilf views and will take the first suitable opportunity to declare the extent of hin backsliding. Unquestionably there has been a decisive change in public opinion with reference to the propriety of levying prohibitory duties under the pretense of collecting revenue. There will be no effort to fijlit tint Initio over again cither by re-enacting the McKinley j tarilf or by nominating Mr. McKinley for president with "protection for tha I sake of protection" as the war cry. ' None the less. Mr. McKinley must island by his guns. His strength lie I altogether in his unflinching advocacy of out-and-out and up-to-date protec tionism.
