Women Suffrage is Contrary to
COInm0n-Sense. Na
BY cATHARINE L. DEEenER.

| 1he questloniof the taXauon OF proper
lty is bcset with many difficulties, and is
not necessarily connected with woman suf-
4f.age. In despotic and aristoeratic ma
tions the difficulty is that the rich and in
f,olent impose heavy taxes on tho laboring
classes. Universal suffrage brings the op-
posite evil where the lazy, the poor, and
the Ignorant may secure unjus, and cxor-
bitant taxation of the industrious and in
telligent. Adding all the women of the
country, 50 many being poor, would only
increase the dependent and non-pI oducing
class Of voters. Some would remedy the
evil by one mode and some by another
but as yet no method has been devised of
adjusting this matter so that all classes
shall receive strict justice. .......
