THE eRowTn OF moNoPo11Bs.

T To the careful observer of current
events, nothing in the whole category
of results growing out of our peculiar
system of Government seems more
portentous, than the singular willing
ness on the part of the people to create
gigantic monopoIies by special enact
ment, and to place themselves COM
pIetely at their mercy. The extent of
our territory seems to favor the growth
of monopolies. At least it gives scope
for the organization of vast corpora
tions who have but 70 ask IN order to
aSsSss5i 70 powers which, as circumstan-
ces have recently shown, render them
almost Independent of legislative
control.
If these nonopolies were confined to
branches ofbusiness disconnected from
such daily necessities as by their fre-
quent occurrence make the public alb
jectly dependent upon the sources
which supply them, their effects would
be less grievous; but it is precisely in
the supply of these daily necessities
that the most giant monopolies exist,
and have obtained the most unrestrict-
ed privileges; and it is such monopo-
lies that now in the opinion of some
able thinkers of the age, absolutely
threaten the liberty of the people.
The most formidable of these monop-
olies are, at present, railroad, express,
telegraph and gas companies. ea
In recent article we have shown
how little, as a rule, the public salty
and convenience is regarded by rail-
way corporations. Telegraph compa-
nies have hitherto laid themselves
open tocriticism chiefly on the score
Of high tariffs, but as the transaction
of business, and the demands of COM
merce will necessarily increase public
on this means of inter
communication, the possibilities for
encroaehment upon public rights will
also increase. All the elements for
unrestricted imposition exist in them,
and only wait for the proper time for
full development. The gas companies
have carried the principle of
pay for that which they do
not dispense to greater lengths than
any other of the monopolies in ques-
How to curtaiI the power of such
is a question of the utmost
Every attempt to do it has
thus far signally failed. We confess |
that we can at present see no adequate |
means by which the people at large
can combat the power SO imprudently
vested in unscupulous corporations |
But this we can see; that this power is |
becoming a danger to the common |
wealth, which it is blindnes to ignore, |

It seems that Sam Sylvester, now a
rich man, and married to young
English girl he had met in San Fran
cisco, had, about three months before,
met Hillvale man fresh from home,
who, after he had got over his surprise
at behOlding Sam alive and we'll, told
him all about Polly; and of course the
father set out at once to find his child.
They drove over to DraytOn, the near
est large village to HiIlvale, and there
after warm bath and good supper,
happy Polly was sound asleep, hold
ing her new mammals hand; but when
she woke up next morning her first
words in answer to the loving smile
of those blue eyes were, ''Mother, is it

REDUCTION OF THE INCOME
TAX.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly
makes the following intelligent and
foreible argument in favor of reducing
if not abolishing the tax on incomes f:
The present law expires by linnita-
tion in 1870, so that, if the tax is again
to be collected, it must be by re-en-
actment; and there is no reason to
believe that this can be effected with
out large notifications. Yet after all,
it is fairly a question whether such
notifications as are likely to take
place can be considered as reduction
of taxation. It is not in the least inn
probable that an income tax at three
per cent, but without some of the pres
ent Irrational exemptions, would bring
nearly if not quite as much money in
to the treasury as the present duty of
five per cent. The fact is, the tax is
too high, as the whisky tax was last
year. Five per cent is a great deal for
only one form of taxation, when it is
remember what small margin at
best is allowed by the necessary ex-
penses of living in these days, What
man must have requires so large a
part of the income of all but the
wealthy, that very little is left for
pleasure or leisure. Take a represen-
tative income of twenty-five hundred
dollars, with thirteen hundred dollars
of exemption. At five per cent the
lax Is s44Gy QO1l4rSs 4 CT now lew
heads of families of that income ever
have a clear sixty dollars, which they
feel able to devote to distinctly lux
urious expenditure! For income of
this class, it is not exaggeration to say
that the tax absorbs the whole of what
would otherwise be the pleasure fund
of the family; not small sacrifice to
make when it is remembered that the
same taxpayer has already paid a
hundred and fifty dollars, at least, to
the government in the duties on for
eigu goods, while he has suffered from
a general enhancement of prices, in
consequence of State and Federal tax
alton, to twice that amount. And it
is really not the best finance. to main
tain the income tax at such a point, in
ordinary times, as to constitute griev-
tax. Tt is 50 regarded in England. 1t
should be kept up in time of peace; |
but at it's minimum, not its maximum. |

CHINESE ENUMERATION.


! The apprehensions of the Califor-
mans lest horde of Asiatics come in
and oyerWheIm them, are groundless,
and, were they at pains to consult the
facts. they would dismiss their fears
aud cease their foolish clamoT. The
total influx of Chinese into the United
States since and including 1856, a
period of fourteen years, was, accord
ing to the report of the Special Com
missioner of the Revenue, but 1887,

less than three thousand for several
years succeeding. In 1868 it was TO-
684; and in the year just closing about
13 600.
This is not large immigration, nor
does it show such rapidity of increase as
to Justify the conclusion that the
Celestials are coming In to occupy and

In any one year since 1856 the immi-

been greater than from all Asia in u
period of fourteen years, whilessit was
more than three times as numerous in
1869. And yet, with this tremendous

our national institutions and chaTac-
teristics.
The hue and cry raised against them
