Concerning .War Taxes.
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.

The correspondence thus begun was

President Kruger came back at

All the terrible things which Smyth,
tluough the above passages, predicted
would happen to tho South African,
evidently had no teirois for Kiuger,
He brushed them all aside by giving
Smyth a little practical advice by 10
turn mail fiom Matthew vi: S4.
'Jake, therefore, no thought for the morrow ,
for Ihe morrow shall take thought for the thines

Up to this time Smyth and Kruger
have hem veiy consldeiate of each
other In the matter of rnblo tolls, each
prepaying his own messages. Now
President Ki tiger's reply was sent to
Smyth "collect." The Chicago man
was referred to Jeremiah xvlli: 20-22

Smyth evidently didn't oaUh the
point of the nbovp. He reidied from
Psalms, 11:1:
Why di the heathin rajto and the people im
agine n vain thins?
The net passage fiom Onm Paul
was Psalms llx: !":

This was w.isted on Smyth. No
South African could get nnv sympathy
fiom him. Ills leply w.ih "Job xv: ill,"
bet liol him wlio is ih-iilved trust in vanilj ,
for vanilj shill be his leiompinsi.
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

lime to tend ami a time to sew, a tune to
Keep slicnei- nnd a time tn speak,
V time to love ami a time to hale, a time of
war and a time nf peace.
When he was pushed to it Smyth
could be just as philosophical as Kru
ger, n is shown by the following re
ply from ICccleslates Iv. C.
Hotter Is i handful with epiiiinrss, tlnn both
the liinds full with tiavail ami vexitioii of spirit.
Onm Paul now- sent another mes
sage ''Collect" tefeirlng Mr. Smyth to
Nnhum I' 15:

O, .ludih, keep thv solium feasts, perfunu thv

Smyth didn't know Just what had
caused a ilse In Kiugei's spirits, no
mutter whether- the Hocis were win
ning or losing; lie lefened the South
African potentate to llahulil 11: S. 9:

A gentleman residing in T street, N. W., Washington,
D. C, asserts that he suflered for many years with dyspepsia,
indigestion and biliousness. He tried every known remedy, ,
consulted many physicians with the hope o'f getting cured or '
even relief, but nothing seemed to relieve him. Alter meals
he would feel as if a ball of lead was lodged in his stomach,
tired and listless, as though life was scarcely wortli ivinc.
Finally he was attracted to the ad of
R1PANS TABULES
and concluded to trv them. After tnkinr thp flrct m-n isr
he was surprised to find the relief they gave and soon he felt
like a new man. He has neve been without Rlpans Tabules
since, nor has he suffered since.
