.Ta,e.. Taxes, Radical Taxes!

To realize fully the amount Of money
raised by taxation and expended in this
nation, each persoA should consider
tina, one third of his property or earn
,p,, is mortgaged to the Federal Gov
.rpmeut If he owns house, one
third of il is covered by the claims of
tb, Government, and the same prlnci-
pies applies to warehouse, snip or
farm. Wherever property IL, there Is
,,y,tiou. Government bonds excepted.
This kind Of property is exempt from
III, clutch of the tax-gatherer, and
thysr aoldiug it are put upon differ
.n, tpotln. from the balance of Ameri-
can cit,zcns. Labor is also Overshad-
owed by taxation. One-third of each
dollar earned by the poor man, who is
,trugul.us TO support his family, is fas-
tened upon by the vampire of exorbi-
,,u, tuxatiuu, a d hence il is that the
toilers of the United States are yearly
couurllri to work harder, and yet
do not live i, we'll or dress as well us
they did wien wages were lower. The
average prico of their services has IN
creased lairty-one per cent. in eight
years, While during the same period
their expenses, owing to the debt and
taxation, have Augmented eighty-four
per cent. This is wide gap, and 1t
must be b-idsed by closer economy aud
abstinence from many articles OF COM
fort on the part Of the workers OF the
United States. 1t costs more than
twice ~ much to build u house now as
il did before the war-twjcc as much
for rent if it is reuted-twice as much
to live in it after it i5 built, and yet
property holders are no better of, so
sar us expenses are concerned, than
those who hire or rent Debt and taxa
tiou are the Old Man Of the Mountain,
aud they Icstr;dc alike all the material
interests of the country.

The story Of n Tilted Lover.

The Peoria Transcript tells the Iolio"-
ing story of true love whose current
ran unusually rough:
Several years ago, a young lady In
Tazewell county was wooed by young
man. He obtained her consent ana the
consent of the old folks, but three days
before the wedding she took freak in.
to her head and went Oft and married
another. The young man was heart
broken, and packed up his effects and
went to New York city. There he hid
his grief. buried himself in business,
and engaged in speculation; was sue
cessful, and became wealthy. Ayounger
sister of the girl that had Tilted him,
moved by sympathy, began cores
ponaence with him to endeavor to nit
igate his sorrow. The correspondence
became interesting. The young girl
grew up, aud, as years rolled on, ripened
into q great beauty The sight of her
photograph awakened in the young
mans bosom the love that he had sup
posed crushed forever; he proposed to
her and was accepted. Her father was
o widower and was anxious to get mar
ont of the way, so he urged the match
forward. The means of the lover now
admitted brilliant wedding, and
preparations were made for it. They
were to be married last Wednesday in
style, and depart Immediately for New
York city.
"a few days ago the expectant bride
received letter from her betrothcd
stating that he had entered into "a
specslation that would keep him in the
city, SO that he could not possibly be
with her at the time appointed, and
asking her to delay the ceremony for a
day or two. He also referred to the
time whom he expected to be united to
her sister. Provoked that he still re-
memberGd his former love, the young
lady wrote him in n passion, and sitting
down at the same time wrote to a
cousin OF hers, a farmer in Iowa, who
had long loved her, telling him that she
had broken her engagement, relating
the circumstance to him. and ended by
saying that she was ready to be mar
ried, and if he would come and be there
at the time set for her wedding she
would marry him. He complied.
''Her betrothed in New York, aston
ished to receive her letter, closed up his
business as best he could, and came to
Tazewell county by the next train. He
reached the little village where she
lived, and was fastening up to the
house TO fulfil his engagement, when he
was met by some of his friends and told
that his bride had just been married to
another man. He tainted away on the
spot and was taken up to the hotel.
When the bride was told of it she was
overwhelmed with remorse, but it was
then too late. She was legally married
to her cousin. The New Yorker, twice
heartbroken, left for his home without
seeing her, and she passed through this
city yesterday on her way to an Iowa
farm, looking very detected and any
thing but like bride"

The iHicliigacr is taking strong
ground in favor Of taxing the bonds.
After doing ts feeble best in the late
campaign to put down the equal taxa
tiou idea, i, has suddenly become con-
vert 10 the very theory it was wont to
abomIuatc, Hear it:
We have no wish to argue the propo-
sltlon contained in the Constitution,
that all property shall bear the burdens
Oi guyerHment alike, save such as is ex
presSly excepted by that instrument.
1t seems to us the only just rule on the
subject. 1t is certainly dangerous to
put II in the power oflegislatiOn to in
fringe so fundamental principle.
Whatever may be said of it in theory,
Ike beginnings Of all exemption from
taxation are dangerous ard the results
eaiamltons. it is sure to end in load
ing the statutes with class legislation
aud III multiplying unjust discrimina-
Uohs, under which those who have the
most will contribute the least for the
support OF government.
- Jealous has our contemporary be-
'one that he has no patience for argu-
ment; lie can't stand the contradiction
implied in an exchange Of views, but
Oeinauds unquestioning acceptance of
he hepTOposition that all property shall
Dear the burdens of government alike"

shown more complete disregard Tor all law and Justice
