ONIJ OF THi: Iaigcst films of plmwnaceutical chemists In this (ountiy is distributing a letter to the picss asking for ncwspapei help In the endeavor which Is to be made to secuie an eaily repeal of the stamp tax war iccnue. The letter says: "That act, we believe, has now fully sen eel whatcer good purpose was to be expected fiom It, and Its fuither continuance is inexpedient, not to say unjust. The late war with Spain found thoc government In uigent need ot funds, and an emeigency measuie like the stamp tax commended itself to the Judgment and patiiotlsm ot the people Hut now, though, iinfoitunatelj, some echoes of the war ate still heaid in tlie Philippine Islands, we enjoy peace with the whole woild and a degiee uf pios polity which has lately if ever been equalled In the whole couise of tho country's histoij. One icsult of the prospeiity is that the Federal ticasuiy Is full to ovci Hotting; moie money Is 'pouilng nt It ns tlie result of taxa tion than Its custodians know what to do with. .Since last July its supeiflu ous wealth has accumulated at the average lute of over $6,000,000 per month, the suiplus for March alone was $1.",000,000. "Such dlveision of funds fiom tho regular channels of tiado and their unfruitful accumulation in the tieits uiy vaults not only piove the absence of legitimate special channels of gov ernment expenditure, but me a direct encouiagement to the Inception and development of Illegitimate channel". The time, theiefoie, would seem to be ilpe for some abatement of the tax-imposing power of the gov eminent, and this abatement could take no more popular foi in than the speedy lemoval of tlie stamp tax. As pharmaceutical manufactuiois we have a special In tel est In the tax, as It beats on laigo classes of medicinal and toilet prep aiatlons. In this lespect the tax has always been huidensome, excessively so, because whatever may have been the theoietkal Intention of congicss, the practical lesult has been that In nine cases out of ten the most of the burden has fallen on the limited class of manufaetuiers Instead of being dls ti United among tho large class of con sumers. And now It pi esses with ad ditioua! seveiity on those who have to pay It because they aio no longer supported by the thought that the needs of the countiy demand tho sac i lllce." It Is icpoitPil that the Hepubllcan leadeis In congicss have Informally agiccd that it would ho unwise to open tile question of a levision of war taxa tion at tills session of congicss. They lecognize the need of such levision, but they also think that it could be moio falily and expeditiously effected after the piesldcntial election has been taken. Inasmuch as Just prior to that election there is usually moie politics than common sense on view nt Wash-lug-ton. Those who are specially pinched by the emeigency taxes may not fully appreciate this decision, but Under the clicumstanccs it is evidently wise. This Is the scabon when the tiairp should be given the told shoulder. Work Is so plentiful now that there Is little excuse for any one save a poli tician to bo out of cmplcjincnt. TOLD BY THE STAKS.

'Jake, therefore, no thought for the morrow , for Ihe morrow shall take thought for the thines of Itfelf.

Kiuger's reply to the above was very plillosopliieal. o called Smyth's at tention to i:cclc.liistcs 111. 1-S: 'In tiirilhiiu tluie is a season, and a time to cviij piupo-e under tin- In iveii.
