The opening of Copenhagen as n free port last week marks another step In the advance of the free port iden, which appears to be steadily gaining in pop ular favor in the various European countr The free port idea springs really from the free cities of the middle ages, some which persisted under independent government until less than two decades ago.

The de- parture made regards the Income flom corporate investments is simply accidental and not intentional.

Commerce within the free zone is absolutely free. Outside of that zone it is subject to the restrictions which have been laid to protect the interests of the German producers. The Danish government vized the advantages of the free port and has gone to considerable expense to furnish Copenhagen with the equip ment necessary carry the idea into suceessful practice. From this time on Copenhagen will be able to with its German rivals for the distribut ing trade. A plan similar in e¢haracter and extent was urged last winter in this country in a bill introduced into econ- gress by Senator Chandler of New Hampshire providing for a free port on Long Island opposite New York City.

In a carefully prepared article on the new income tax law, which has been contributed to the current number of the Quarterly Journal of Bconomics, Prof. Charles I, Dunbar of Harvard univ sity points to several flaws and incon- fes that not prominently brought out when the discussion of the we measure in congress. s an unmistakable leaning toward the income tax idea and to fear that our coming experi ence with a particular tax likely to prejudice the people against any proposition that may later he made for the taxation of incomes. It is, he insists, a great misfortune that the ques tion of a fresh resort to the income tax should have come up under such un toward circumstances and that it should have recefved such a solution as it has. The chief advantage claimed for the English income tax is that it supplies au elastic source of revenue, the income tax rate being inereased or diminished as the exigencies of the budget may re- quire. In the United States the most striking defect in our financial system is the want of some casy adjustment of the receipts of the government. With the customs duties our principal rel ance, the treasury may sometimes hay a plethora when prosperous business swells our imports, and sometimes a dearth when the cours of trade change: We have no branch of taxa- tion which can be relied upon to lower a surplus or fill up a defieit at short notice. In this respect the new income tax offers no help, but rather 1 as badly off as ever. The rate at 2 per cent for a period of fiv Although congress always has the right to alter or abolish it, a sliding rate ac- cording to the needs of the treasury wus not the intention of the congress tl enacted the law, nor is it probable that any modification of the rate will be made 5o long as the tax remains in oper- ation, Among the inconsistencies which Prof. Dunbar poirts cut is the provision which classifies as income the value of per- sonal property received during the year as gift or inheritance. While the bur den is not great, he thinks it will be felt much more grievously by people of mod- e incomes, of incomes upon which they are not ovdinavily called upon to pay taxes, than upon those who are reg ular contributors to the fund raised by income wion. This provision will have the effect of making the incomes of particular persons taxable by fits and starts, pendeney of the Prof. Dunbar be seems income is gift comes Into their possession. incquality of exempting personal of ss than $4,000 and taxing when derived from corporate thou less than $4,000, has been adverted to in other eriticisms of the law. The method of ascertain- the amount of taxable income by listing system comes in also for its of unfavorable comment. This is practically the same system that has proved such a failure with our personal property tax, and inasmuch asa great part of the taxable income comes from intangible personal property, Prof. Dun bar is of the opinion that it will prove equally ineffectual with the income t The system by which the tax Is col lected is also unfortunate, to use a mild expression.

The framers of the income tax law really shut their eyes to what may be learned elsewhere on this subject.

They were led to ask themselves why this country should legislate in the inte foreign manufs s and wheth was possible to do this without toour own indu: ind an intelligent study of this question could produce but one answer.

The realization of this made 1 lost of republican voters and nothing contributed much more to this realiza tion than the joyful declarations of the ish free traders., who launded Mr, Wilson and the policy he represents, It will be well if the British free traders shall learn from the obvious lesson of (he recent election that a very large majority of the American people are in favor of the protective policy and wmesmpromisingly epposed to the Biitish economic system as applied to this country.

These reasons are gravity, air resistance and friction. Air resistance must be take into account at high speeds, but for ordinary traffic is not considered. Gray ity is constant factor whose influence cannot be lessened except by the grad ing and leveling of the road. Friction, as considered in this case, is of two king One is the rolling friction at the points of contact with the road and may be lessened in two ways—either by improving the road or the tires, and | there is much need of improvement in both. The other is the sliding friction between the axle and inner surface of wheel-hub or box The of the future, therefore, must be constructed with especial view to overcoming two kinds of re iee, and how it is to do this may be gathered from the models which the carringe makers had placed in the exhi- bition hall. The old marrow iron tire will not be able to hold its place much longer. For rougher wagons it is being supplanted by the wide steel tire that is found to give an equally good contact surface and at the same time to operate as a roller to keep the road in con- stantly good condition. Wherever speed and comfort ave the things desired some form of the pneumatic tive will soon be generally introduced. The rubber cushion, first adapted to the bicycle, has | been employed for horse vehicles for less | than two y , but it promises to have the same success with the latter as it has with the bicycle. The great ad- vantage of the pneumatic tive is that it | requires very little power to start it.

This practically means that the republican party Is in charge of the state government. Of course the new governor will have the dis- tribution of a few official favors in the shape of offices, but that is all There is little use in that Douglas county is done.

This insures the election of a republican United States senator, a consummation that is something to be doubly thankful for. Every republican regrets the defeat of Tom Majors, yet the victory has otherwise been s0 complete that the bitterness of defeat will be considerably softened. The governorship was decided on the personality of two candi- dates, hence the defeat of Majors is not a populist victory.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The approaching en on the of December, fs not expocted by those familiar with congressional methods to be one of great activity or productive of much legislation, The fact that it will con- tinue for only thres months, that it will be the last scssion of the congress, and that it 80 closely follows a general election are all constdered as Ations that but compara- tively little real work will be attempted and stll loss accomplished. The greater part of the session will In all probability be confined to an exchange of chaffing over the results of tho election, and the session will become memorable on more on account of talk than of work. 1t is probable that next to nothing will be done before the Christmas holidays, and predictions are freely made that it wili be difficult to obtain or maintaln a quorum provious to Chiristmas. After the holidays there will be but two months left for work 1 speechmaking. It will, of course, be nec- ssary to pass the usual appropriation bills, Theso bills touch a variety of interests, and while they can be disposed of with celerity they can be so manipulated as to kill much time when there is any considerable desire to s0 use them. When the last session adjourned the mens- ures attracting most attention were the sup- plemental tarift or freo raw material bills, They had passed tho house and had been favorably reported with material amend ments by the senate committee on finance to the senate. While a majority of the dem- ocratic senators appeared friendly to those bills, there was a considerable number of that party opposed to their consideration, as wore practically all the republican senators. This element was enabled to prevent the sen- ate taking them up before the end of the session. it remuins to be seen whether the friends of the bill will persist in this policy at the forthcoming session, and whether, it they do manifest this disposition, they will do so In the face of opposition of a few democratic senators and the almost solid re- publican side of the senate, who do not de- sire at this time further legislation in the direction of tariff legislation. Represonta- tives of the latter class do not hesitate to declare that whatever the policy of the demo- cratic majority they will be able to prevent serious opposition of these bills during the short session. They also claim that If a vote on this bill shold be brought about thers would be a majority against them. It should bo stated, however, that there is a division of opinion among the opponents of the freo sugar bill, and that some republicans and rvative democrats have expressed a willingness to allow this bill to become a law, but the best indieations are that the ate of the bill will be determined by that of the others of the same class. There are ales those who predict that there will be a renewal of the agitation of the financial ques- tion on propositions looking to the free coin- age of silver and for another bond issue, The starting of the bond question will depend on the administration, and there appears now no reason for the suggestion that it will be revived except In the imaginations of thoso who would oppose the measure if it should be brought in. There Is little doubt that the silver question will be raised in some form, but the probabilities are that there will be no serious or united effort on the part of any considerable element (o push silver to the front. The more general opinion is that sil- ver will be rescrved for the long session of congress, S0 as to make It an issue in the presidential campaign of 1896. WERE Kescuo at Sea of Sailors from W Wrecked Schooner, NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—The steamer Cre- ole Pr Captain Byers, which arrived today from Trinidad, reports that on the outward passage, November 18, latitude 25:07, longitude 66:42, she sighted a water logged vessel, the schooner Coronet of Lunerberg, N. 8., Captain Balcomb, bound from Halifax, . 8., for TFort Spain with a cargo of fish and potatoe A boat was launched from the Creole Prince and rescued Captain Bal- comb and Scamen Fred Haddon and Peter Cranston.
