which il is impossible she should pay
this man will come and buy it at one

But as we have said, there is class OF
men--a favored and exclusive class
who. while the community generally

turnpikes and streets. They pay not

their less fortunate and poorer neigh
bors They use the public schools free
Other peoples property-the farmers,
mechanics, MERCHANTS and manuiac-
urer's-are taxed to keep them in
operation. Our Judicial and police OH.
GERS protect the lives and property of
these bondholders from murder and
robbery, but not one cent do they pay
for il; but what would be their share is
assessed upon others. II costs to sup
mort our State and local governments
some $3.50, 100000 year. There are
$4,000, 100000 of property Invested in
these bonds. If they paid the three or
four per cent taxation to which other
property is subject, we should derive
from $15, 100000 to 100000, 900 annu-
ally from that source alone. What an
immense sum 1t would pay entirely
the State and local taxes in four or five
of the great States like Ohio.
There is an exemption equal to all the
taxes which we're required for the support
of the Federal Government before the
Radicals came into power If their
property was put upon the tax duplicates,
il would reduce the State and local taxa
ton of the rest of the community fully
one.third. Our local and State taxation
assumes huge dimensions because q part
of the community, in addition to bearing
their own burdens have to carry those
of this protected and favored class.
This, however, is not all Besides pay
ing some $75,OoO,O00 or 500, 100000
for them in taxes annually, the labor
ing masses are further taxed $l50,000,
600 year by the Federal Govern
ment TO pay the interest on the bonds.
How long can the country stand this
monstrous draft upon the pocket? An
aristocracy which requires 1925, 100000
a wear TO maintain is indeed terrible
weight upon national prosperity. 1t is a
weight that need not be carried unless
the people choose. They can throw it
off by paying the debt that produces this
frightful state Of things. TheV can pay
it to morrow in the legaltender curren-
cy of the country-the currency which
pays all debts--and in paying it they
weuld not only rid themselves of bur-
den, but greatly stimulate their business
activity and industrial prosperity.

From the winsted Conn Herald,
A CHRISTMAS STORY.


Out In the lelds-'mid the ice and snow,
Where the North-wind sang Its song OF woe; (
Where the stars of heaven looked colby down
And the Moons pale face was marred W'tn
frown;
Where all was dark, and drear, and bleak
Little Mary lay fast asleep.
The child had wandered with weary feet,
AL day through the ctty's busy street.
Seeking for food, and shelter, and home;
Seeking alas but finding none.
She had seen the light from the windows glow.
Had heard the merry ripping now TT ~.
Of children's voices, sweet and cleer, l. -
As they sang their songs or Christmas cheer;~
Had heard the peal of the great church bell,
As 1t rose and fell, with a Changing swell,
On ths frozen air Of the winter night 2
And 1t allied her little soul with fright
Away from the fearful swell she aed, 3's7 81
Ger the frozen stones Of the street che sped,
Out to the country's solitude, jaads 153 30 /.
Where the way was dark and the Wina was ru
By cold and hunger and fear oppressed,
She has lain her down In the snow to rest.
She dreamed Of the city's street. Again
She seemed to wander in grief and pain. -
Till at last she found d soul more kind,
Who took her In from the piercing wind.
She thought she stood In lighted hall, ..,
Mid throng OF people, great and small,
Whose eyes were fixed on Christmas-tree,
That glittered and shone most glorious ly. Il
Then beautiful presents were given to some,
But they pass cd her by--for her they had none.
And she wondered then In her little heart.
Why she had in the common Joy no part.
And feeling OF sadness and loneliness came
Over her heart, and she sobbed again.
Then the Christmas-tree and its wonders rars.
Melted away into empty all. ,... sss.
And she saw astal in stable cold; ..f.
And an Infant wrapped In swaddling fold;
And kings and priests and gray haired mon,
Bend their old heads in worship. Then i%G
