county and annex it to Ramsey county,

still continue to vote with us, Emery
grows rough and rasps away at as us fero-
ciously as if zoe made the law. Patience,
old sand-paper! Keep your temper.
True, you have lost the taxes derivable
from West St. Paul, and thereby the
taxes of every man in the country are in
creased but then you have the Demo-
cratic pote yet; and there is nothing to
prevent Jerry from again representing
you in the Legislature Think Of that
and rejoice.
The law is: "That in the event Of any
change in the county and township lines.
affecting the districts the Senate
rial and Representative districts shall not
be affected thereby"
If the Goth Senatorial district is not
affected by the c.ange in the county
line, then West st. Paul votes with us
still. If it does not, then certainly the

Of its population and not affect

THE TAXATION OF MORTGAGES.

The theory of all civilized governments
is that taxes are levied upon property
not persons; that the more man has
the more he pays; and that if he has
nothing he pays nothing. This rule IS
founded on reason; for surely the man
Who is worth million has more interest
in the preservation of government, the
snnnort Of courts and the maintenance of
order, than the poor man whose daily toll
scarce sufIices to sustain his life.
And it is the reproach Of our nation
that while professedly the peoples coun-
trv. nowhere is capital mere protected
and nowhere do the burdens Of the gov
eminent rest more GENEROUSLY on the
roorer classes. A man in this country

bonds and go scot-free Of all taxes; while

ECONOMY WITH A VENGEANCE

The last Legislature made the most ex-
traordinsry appropriations; it emptied
the treasury, increased salaries and added
one. half mill to the mill and a quarter Of
State taxes, thus very nearly doubling the
aggregate taxes for State purposes. AS
there are no hard times in the land, no
poverty, no taxes, no grasshoppers, and

bushel, this is all very proper and appro-
pirate. And as the people stand it with

reader, to complain

One of the greatest evils which afflict

A NEW Party DEMANDED.

A correspondent of the Farmers Un

of the Gra7gers and significantly adds:

ence equal to the attainment OF our objects and
rights, ,ce .riH form ne,c party There is no
escape from this conclusion; we must accept
our position before the world, and show our

There are probably few, however, familiar
with this subject OF the rapid increase of capi-
tai and interest, who would not be startled at
the statement that the cost OF the outfit Of
Christopher Columbus in his first voyage OF
discovery, put at interest ut SIX per cent. /,

than the entire money value of this continent,

dnstry of all who have lived upon it If any
doubt this, let them reckon the amount esti-
mating the entire outfit to have cost onlv the
small sum OF five thousand dollars, and re-
membering that money doubles, at six per
cent, in little less than twelve years-or
accurately, in eleven years, ten mouths, and
twenty lone days. Allowing it to double every
twelve years, this five thousand dollars at in

would give more than . million dollars as the

upon million dollars at six per cent Is sixty

princely annual income Of each OF these seven

In Hildreth's ssHistory OF the United States
it is stated that Manhattan lsland-aterwarC
called New Amsterdam, now the city OF New

and this only about two hundred and hfty
years ago. Aud yet, if the purchasers conie
