LIME SpR1NGs.-This now rail.
road town seems to be on the high
road to prosperity. A single hour
put in there on Monday, enabled us
to look in upon the most Of the mer.
chants of the town. We found our
friend Hewctt, one Of the best of
men by the way, doing good and
prosperous business in hardware
and agricultural Implements; Scarls
was busy and seemed to be doing a
thriving trade; Sharpe and Moul-
ton were selling dry goods at brisk
rates and in quantities to suit;
Gage & Miller seemed to be busy;
the Cole girls were busy in fixing
up cloves of bonncts' for the love-
ly damsels; Lick Il Van Lcuvcn
were too busy to talk to any one
but customers; Wood & Petit we're
having a good trade, owing to the
splendid bargains they give. Wheat
appeared to be coming into town in
very liberal quantities and to be
commanding fair prices.
We took the liberty while there,
unasked (by the proprietor of
closing out the contents Of one sa-
loon, aided by the Sheriff, by virtue
of an execution. Obtained one
gallon of whiskey on which there
was said to be rightfully a me-
chanics lein in favor of the drug

found full of business with a fair
stock at very reasonable prices.

and learned that he is moving his
Seminary from the old town to the
new town. The town is being i'm
proved by the addition of many
new buildings the present season,

Allison and the Sioux City
and Pacific Railroad
Fraud.

The defenders of VIM. B. Allison
member of congress from this dis.
trict have insisted that the suit
brought by Charles A. Lambard
against the Sioux City and Pacific
railroad company, in which it was
proved to tue satisfaction of the
supreme court of New York that
the original nine incorporators en-
tered into a bargain for an
equal division Of the profits of the
enterprise. disclosed nothing to the
discrcdit of Mr.. Allison because
he was not named as party to the
suit. The evidence is admitted to
have been strong enough against
the others, and so it was in the
opinion of the court, for Lambard
obtained judgment for all that he
claimed.
But let us see about Mr.. Allison S
connection with this suit. The
New York Times, of the 4tb inst.
publishes statement Of the case
as it appeared on the records of the
court. In that we find that
"Tho complaint sets forth that
John I. Blair, Cakes Ames, Chas.
II. Vail, J. H. Scranton, D. G.
Blair, A. w. johnson, Plat Smith,
p. H. Smith, VIM. b. Allison and
the plaintiff. are the directors and
managers of the corporation known
as the Sioux City and Pacific rail
road company, which was organized
under the laws of the state Of Iowa
There were nine men as above nam
ed, who associated to form the cor
poration, with the underestimate
that, as promoters, they were t
have equal intercsts--that is, one
ninth interest each. The origina
capital stock was two millions, an,
they undertook to construct rail
road and telegraph line from Siou;
City upon the most direct aud prac
ticable route to such point and s
rs to connect with the Union Pacii
road"
Judge Barnard found all thes
facts-set forth in the complaint t
be true, Us sustained by the evldenc
and decreed that the eight assoc
ates Of Mr.. Lambard, his co-promt
tiers of the enterprise, should di
gorge something over two hundre
thousand dollars to make his mint
interest good.
In this connections we may pro-
erly state that it is currently r
ported that VIM. Is. Allison Of
platt Smith have gone to New Yol

Six Hundred Millions OfTax.
alton.

1t is estimated that the people Of
this country now annually pay, in
tho form of taxation, about six
hundred millions of dollars, as fol.
lows:
State taxation $50, 200, OOC
City, county, town, and other
local taxation, 100000, O0O
Federal taxation 1897 900, OOO
Total 1886, 900, 0oO
obstinate of Sec Of Treasury for 1870.
Finance report, 1868, p. 20
OF this vast sum nearly a third
is derived from tho customs. The
backbone of the customs, as they
are at present levied, is constituted
as follows:
Food, groceries, etc $50, zoo, 900
Textile, fabrics, and clothing 81, 400, 900
Liquors and tobacco $500, 900
Hides, leather, and manufact-
ures of $500, 900
Iron, steel, tools hardware,
glass, glassware, and
crockery 1920, 900
Lumber, woodward, and linsecd,
and linsecd oil for paint 100000
Total duties from principal
articles s14l, 100000
These articles are mainly con-
sumcd and used by tho laboring
classes, who form the vast majority
Of the population, and who eat and
drink, wear and use these articles
Of necessity to as great an extent,
per capita, as tho rich. The
custom STAKES, therefore, fall very
heavily upon the poor. Lcgisla-
tion taxes articles OF necessity, and
so burdens the poor. The theory
Of the tariff must be changed; the
burdens of taxation equalized as
we'll as reduced; and the laboring
classes will have a fair chance to
improve their condition.
