Among the republics of South Amer
ica Brn7.il has earned the distinction of
bolntj the first to cast oft the garb of
monarchy without coating n. elnglo hfo •
Tlio ohtingo from a. monarchy io rt ro-
publio was offoctcd without a disturb
ance , as If it was an every day occur
rence In four dnys Dom Pedro was
dethroned nnd oxikd , constitutional
government established and accepted
by all the provinces It is a notable ovl-
doncoof the spread of republicanism in
the wostora hemisphere , ana will
have the olloct of lee < ; oning
the hold u ! European rulers on Canada ,
Cuba and other colonial possessions
Brazil has a territory nearly as lnrgo
as nil Europe , comprising three million
two hundred and oightcon square miles ,
or thrco hundred thousand square miles
less than the area of the United States
Its population is about thirteen millions ,
of whom ono million nro negro freed
mennnd six hundred thousand Indians
The emancipation of the slaves follow
ing the falluVo of the coffee crop last
year , produced a partial paralysis of
business In Brazil , as In this country ,
the negroes flocked to the cities and
towns on gaining their freedom , leav
ing the plantations without adequate
help to harvest the crop The govern
ment came to their rcscuo with liberal
loans and organized an immigration
bureau , which has brought the labor
market to its uormal standard Under
its stimulating luflucncos largo * addi
tions have boon inado to the population ,
now industries started and the develop
ment of the country pushed In every
dlroctiou
In wealth of nntural resources Brazil
is excelled by tow countries on the
glebe The soil Is uncommonly rich ,
yet only ono-hundrodth part of
it is under cultivation It Is
the great colloo producer of
the world , while sugar cane , rice ,
tobacro and tropical fruits are raised in
abundance Ilor wealth in valuable
timber is incalculable Rosewood , mn-
hogony and rubber forests are as plenti
ful as the plno in the United States
From these impenetrable forests shiver
ing mankind obtuins the crude qninino
mid oinchonia , ns well as bortholotia ,
the Paulist purgative , and the myrta-
cious perfume tree .
In minerals the country is equally
rich mid prolilic Gold , silver and diamonds
mends abound , as well the baser metals ,
such as copper , iron , zinc and coal The
great commercial highway of Brazil
is the Amazon river , which , with
afiluonts , affords thirty thousand miles
of navigable waters In addition , there
are six thousand mlles of railroads in
operation and sixty-fivo hundred miles
of tolegrnph , nnd both have boon
pushed forward actively by the over
turned government During the past
year the foreign trade of the country
amounted to two hundred and twenty
seven millions , an aggregate relatively
as lnrgo as that of the United States ,
population considered
The change of government will natur
ally have a stimulating olfoct on the

THE INTERNAL REVENUE
In view of the fact that there is cer
tain to bo a determined effort made in
thoFifty-first congress to repeal a largo
part of the internal revenue taxes , the
ligures presented in the annual report
of the commissioner of internal revenue
should receive careful consideration
These show nn iucreaso for the last
fiscal year of nearly so von million dollars
lars , and are in excess of the estimate
nearly six million This evidence of
growth in nearly all the sources of in
ternal revenue , especially marked in
spirits , from which the treasury de
rived over seventy-four million dollars ,
an increase of raoro than iivo millions
over the preceding year , proves that
the leading interests subjected to ex
cise taxes are not suffering therefrom
They are growing with the increasing
consuming power of the country , and
there is no reason to suppose that they
will not continue to grow if the taxes
should bo , retained Manifestly
those taxes are not , as is
claimed by the advocates of their
repeal , a burden to the industries
whioh pay them , however great may bo
the annoyance connected with their
collection Nor can it bo shown thut
they operate at all oppressively upon
the consumers Grant that the taxes
on whisky and tobacco , thoohiof sources
of revenue , are finally paid by the con
sumers , they do not complain of them
ns a burden , and it is to bo by no moans
regarded as certain that the removal of
the tuxes would benefit the con
sumers Possibly It might do so
In the case ot tobacco , but
hardly in that of whisky , nor
is it perhaps desirable that it should
A proposal to repeal the whisky tax on
the score of advnntago co the consum
ers of whisky would secure a very lim
ited support
The demand for an abolition of inter
nal revenue taxes comes from the pro
ducers of whiBky and tobacco end
from those who do not wish to reduce
the revenues of the government by a
revision of tariff duties The most ar
dent advocates of a repeal of excise
taxes are the moonshine distillers
and the tobacco manufacturers of
the south , and their reasons for
desiring it are so obvious ns
not to require explanation The ques
tion which the next congress will determine -
tormino is whether these classes shall
bo rollovod of taxes not oppressive to
consumers , or the whole people bo
given the beuofit to bo derived from a
revision and reduction of tariff duties
If the demand , for the repeal of in
ternal taxes is ar-codod to , and fifty
or sixty million dollars of reve
nue thus wiped out , very little
clmngo can bo made in the tariff
in the diroetion of reduction ,
and with increasing national ex
penditures from an enlarging pension
list and other demands , and the funded
debt of the goyornmont to be provided
for , It might bo found necessary Irj the
near future not only to restore duties
that have been nbolishod , but to In
crease those retained It being clearly
shown that the interests from which in
ternal taxes are chlolly derived are not
being ' retarded or injured thorofrora ,
and it bolng equally certain that excessive -
cossive und unnecessary tariff dutiosaro
a buruen upon the whole people and a
drawback to the national prosperity , I
mon of both parties In congress having
the general publio interests at heart
outrlit to have no difficulty in deciding
what course to pursuoin justlco to those
interests
PURELY A QUESTION OF BUSINESS
Wo do not want to Indulge in per
sonalities in discussing the viaduct and
union depot propositions The inter
ests involved are too vast nnd vital to
the future of this city to bo made the
playball of rivals for publio favors In
the press Wo cheerfully concede to
Mr Hitchcock whatever glory or prollt
he may derlvo from slurs and imiondocs
about the alleged combtno between this
paper and the Union Pacific
But when any man or paper goes so
far as to assert that Omaha can have
the Tenth street viaduct and union
depot built next 3'onr without paying
a dollar of bonus to the depot company
proofs should bo produced for
suoh nsscrtion No taxpayer in Omaha
would vote a dollnr of subsidy to the
union depot company or nnybody else
for improvements that they nro bound
to mnko within the next year or two
Wo concede that the Union Pacific and
Burlington will build that depot and
viaduct sooner or lntor without a bonus
But when will that bo ? Wo hnvo been
waiting patiently for fiftcon years and
wo may not sccuro better depot facilities
for ton years moro Can wo bettor afford
to wait indoffnitoly or pay the bonusdo-
inandcd , by which we insure the con
struction of the viaduct and depot in
1890 , when Omaha needs every stimu
lant to make a creditable showing in
the census that will represent her re
sources nnd population in all official
documents and directories for ton years
to come
This is purely a buoinoss proposition
Which course promises the best returns
in the shortest time ? Suppose the Union
Pacific depot proposition is voted down ,
what assurance have wo ot speedy re
lief by a rival bridgoi' That bridge
can not bo built and operated short of
two years and the biidgo may not bo
built for twenty years Is it prudent or
snfo for Omaha to stand out and take
her chances of growth by the nntural
process , without bonuses
SILVER BULLION CERTIFICATES
It is said thut the secretary of the
treasury will recommend In his annual
report that the coinage of silver dollars
bo stopped , and that the treasury bo au
thorized to issue certificates against
silver bullion It is Dot known upon
whnt.basis of value ho would have suoh
certificates issued and redeemed , that
is , whether they should represent
the coinage or the market value
of the bullion , but perhaps this is
not a matter of very great importance ,
sineo for all the purposes of circulation
the certificate would under " any circum
stances represent and nave the pur
chasing power of a dollar Among the
advantages to bo derived from issuing
certificates against the bullion pur
chases of the government nro the
saving In the expense of coinage and
the roduosd outlay for transportation
The idea of issuing silver
bullion certificates is not now It has
boon advocated by Senator Stewart and
others , and although not widely received -
coivod witli favor , even among silver
mon , It is certainly worthy of being
seriously considered Why should the
government continuo to coin dollars
that do not got into circulation , every
one of which represents a tax on the
people to the amount of the cost of its
coinage1 ! It has been amply demon
strated that silver certificates are an
acceptable form of currency They
enter Ireely into the circu
lation and are everywhere current ion a
parity with every other form of cur
rency They represent the coined dollars
lars in the treasury which nro no better
than bullion except In having the stamp
of the government giving them a mon
etary function and value The proba
bility is that they will never bo called
for to redeem the certificutoB issued
against thorn , so that they will remain
in the treasury just as bullion would ,
though they represent a I033 to the
popple which an equal amount of
bullion would not If the people
will have the coined dollars only to a
very limited extent , preferring the cer
tificates , why continuo the expensive
policy of maintaining mints to turn out
suoh dollars , only to bo hoarded , when
a bullion basis for certificates would bo
equally safe and equally accoptabloV
It has boon suggested tliattho author
ity of the government to issue a paper
currency based on bullion is question
able , but this is for the determination
of congress , and undoubtedly it it
should nuthorizo such a currency
its right to do so would never bo called
in question The wisdom and expedi
ency of the plan bolng shown , the quota
tion of nuthority need not be a mnttor
ot serious concern The idea of issu
ing certificates against bullion , as a
step in the direction of solving the sil
ver question , bo far at least as this coun
try is concerned , merits careful consid
eration , and should receive the atten
tion of the silver convention which will
moot in St Louis next week
Tnic vigor and activity of the real
estate exchange promises to supply
what the city has long needed , a repre
sentative body of citizens to vigilantly
guard the interests of Omaha The ap
pointment of a committee to look after
local train service is a move in the
right direction There is no reason
why people living within u radius of
at least ono hundred miles should not
bo afforded facilities for roaohing
Omahd.transactinc business nnd return
ing homo the same day Local train
Borvico is a source ot profit to
the Union PaolQo , and similar
success would undoubtedly follow the
running of local trains on the Omaha &
St Paul and the Missouri Paolflo roads
The committee is a largo and ropro-
sontaUyo ono , Its duties should not bo
confined to the one object for whioh it
was appointed , but should lncludo
inquiry iuto the entire railroad
problem and its hearing oh the com
mercial interests of the city The trade
of bouth Dakota appeals to > Omahafor
railroad relief , and the committee
should be instructed to Investigate nnd
report on the boat means of closiug up

into a close jboTiiraercial union with this

where it would bo convenient for the

Waiting travelers , as they strolled
along , stopped to look at the big bars
Some of the moro curious turned thorn

the value
The thirty bars wore the somi-v-eokly

many pigs of lead if ono might judge
from the manner in which they were
handled and loft exposed But when
they wore turned over there was asilvor

Bolidliled nt the bottom of the mould
And when a knife or key was st.uck
against the side of ono of the bars tbo
sharp clear ring of the cartwheel dollar
lar was glvou forth Each ono of those
bars contained $1,500 in silver , and the
truck as it stood upon the platform hold
