The Missouri Movement. "

mass convention Of Missouri " Liberal Re
rpblie.n. was held at jefferson City, January
d and call issued for National Convention
70 meet At Cinciun,t on the first Monday in
Nav. To understand this movement, the re-
cant history of politics in Missouri shond be re-
called In 1870, the Missouri Republicans,
having given Grant &c, 900 majority, felt strong
enough to qusrrel A portion of them 81 bolted,
mainly on the question Of committAl to a
polcy of entire amnesty, though the tariff con-
troyersy was somewhst involved. The boilers
pnder the lead Of Carl Schurz and Graft Brown
united with the Democrats, and carried the
State by 40, 900 majority Their success IN the
State, encouraged them to think that the came
oneration could succeed in national politics.
The resolutions adopted at Jefferson City, on the
b.sis Of which the convention is called, declare
for equal suffrage for all, complete amnesty
far all - "a genuine reform Of the tarl1, 60
that those duties shall be removed, which, IN ad-
di,ion 70 the revenue yielded to the Treasury,
involve increase in the price Of domestic pro-
ducts - =" thorough and genuine reform Of

whole, it is pretty safe TO predict that the I'm

as the Cleveland Convention that nominated

Nh Willis Plan Of Taxation.

TIE New York papers publiIh long report
by Mr.. b. \. Wells, ofthe commission appointed
70 revise the t.x-lsws Of New York. Mr. Wells
shows teyond question that the present sys-
tenn of taxation is radically detective, and places
the State st great Disadvantage as compared
with New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The tax
,v,tems Of several States are compared, and It Is
,hoWn that in Massachusetts, where the fy'tem
il unequal, and arbitrary, the revenue collected
!. larger in proportion to population than IN any
other States that in Pennsylvsnis the burden
is lighter and the public dissstittscton IS less
than elsewhere; and that in New York no one s
content with system which lie regarded st tho
roughly imperfect and defective. Under al
pl.ns Of taxation, personal property largely e.
canes. but the commissioners show that the prac-
teal exemption Of such property in Pennsyl-
ysnis not only gives satisfaction to the people,
but attracts capital and population to the State
The gain Of population there for the last ten
yesrs was 2llS per cent, while that OF New
York vasl294 Mr.. Wells argues strongly IN
favor of the substitute which he proposed LAST
wear aud which be now embodies in code oil
laws submitted for consideration. This provides
frst. for the tax on &" lands under which term
i, included real estate and all improvements
thereon, above or below ground second, Tor
the taxation of the shares in banks, insurance
companies, and other corporations and third
.building occupancy tax" which is tax to be
p.id by the occupier, be he owner or tenant, OF
any and every building used As $ dwelling, or
for any other purpose, on valuation oil
three times the rental or rentsl value Of the
premises occupied. All other property is ez-
empt, and certain exemptions Of church, school,
cemetery, and other property are specifically
stated In the discussion Of the question Of
exemption" the Commissioners show that the
popular theory that exempt property escapes
ta1stion is fallacious They illustrate this fact
by stating that the purchasers Of United States
bonds, which are nominsly exempt from tax
alton, are in effect taxed, snd uniformly taxed,
in the high price which they Sre obliged TO psy
for these securities by reason Of their exemption
from tsxston.
The Commissioners declare that by the
adoption of their system New York will at once
place herself in such close relations with the
domestic trade and commerce Of the country,
which is fifteen times as great as the foreign,
that the growth Of the State will receive IN in
pulse like thst which followed the construction
Of the Erie Canal Undoubtedly there IS great
room for improvement in the tax laws Of every
State and the labors Of : Commission
as able as this, are entitled to consideration.

Independence of Canada.

A TREATY FOR THE SEPARATION OF The NEW
DOMINION FROM GREAT BRITAIN.
A special dispatch to the Boston Daily i'd
rertiser from Halifax, says it is reported there,
on trustworthy authority, that s treaty exists
ard has been signed by the British and Canadian
governments for the separation of the Dominion
from the British empire. The terms were agreed
to when the confederation act was passed by the
Imperial Parliament, bat the treaty was not to
take effect for some years unless the British gov
eminent saw necessity sor action sooner. The
British troops have been gradually withdrawn
from Canada. until now there is scarcely SOL
der in the Dominion outside Of Halifax. THERE
10 no doubt, should the difference between Great
Britain and the United States become more seri-
Gus, the British government will publish thu
treaty and proclaim the independence Of Canada
and by that means be relieved of the necessity o
defending these colonies against the UniteC
| States.

Another man, broker, ran behind about
$500 last year, on an Income Of S9,UOO, without
being extrsvsgsnt, he thinks, or spending much
on his own person. None of those who show de-
felt or complain ofthe difficulty of making ends
meet, blame their wives, while several attribute
whatever success they have achieved in working
out the problem,t to the excellent economy OF their
better halves. Perhaps the most valuable part
Of these expositions Of domestic economy IS the
instruction in methods Of prudent living gwen
by some OF them. 1t does not much help a strug-
Cling mortal with family to be provided for, to
be told that the limit he must allow for table e1
pentes is $780, He wants to know how 1t can
be kept supplied for that money. On this point
several hint, have been giyen, among others re-
cipes for various cheap dishes, of which ''sersp-
ple.'' is one One woman thinks the undue
cost of living is in great part owing TO the men,
who do not know how to do marketing and
another presents suggestions on purchasing veg
etAbe. and fruits out of their season, and on the
usefulness of dried and canned fruits, and chesp
materials for nutritious soups.
1t seems to be plain, from the figures given,
that some persons make out to live as well as
others on much less mOney,-the difference being
due to the attention given to the comparative
co.; Of different kinds of food, selections of cheap
and wholeiome luxuries, care Sgsinst waste, and
expenditure for comfort rather than show. This
is of course quite a, true in the country as in
