The Leaks Of the Farm.

When we attempt To estimate The Yar1-
Gus kinds of waste which spring FROM
lack OF skill and Judgement in farming,
we find them simply enormous. Stop all
c leaks on half dozen ordinary farms
and give Us the results Of such s-1ppage.
and. with no other source of income, We
can live like a nabob. Between the actu
al profits which farming brings, aud the
profits which are attainable by the high
est skill aud economy, there is q perpetu-
NJ difference that constitutes the real rea-
son which prompts many to declare that
the business don't pay
Now, we are 80 Ut0pian either in agi-
culture, politics, Or religion We do MT
believe THAT. on this earth. humanity can
attain the perfect or the infinite in bust
ness. science or morals. The Iowa farm
cannot be changed into q pasadise or
brought to ideal perfection. at the dropof

intelligent and promTN use in agriculture
of all the best means methods, imple-

Editors Dispatch: I think that all hon.
est.thiDking people must come to the con-
clusion that our lawmakers are increasing
our taxes by tampering with our States con-
tracts. Once contract made and obliga-
lions given, the only legitimate business for
debtors is TO exert themselves and study
bow 10 pay, and not do as the iorcible re-
adiuSters are doing, thinking how not to
pay. The dilemma we arc in was brought
upon us by our legislators in "log-rOlling
times" The James-Rlyer canal was one Of
their heaviest (wortbless) weights they
fastened upon us. l was always opposed to
Internal improvements being made by State
or National Governments. This tampering
With contracts accounts in good part for the
hard times we have. It made capital timid-
accommodations were refused-thinking its
contracts would be next in order for
readiuStment. The money per capita
is nearly (per Secretary Sherman's state
Ment) rs much here as in any other country.
AsprantS for Office (many OF them being
demagogues), knowing that the morals OF
the people are threadbare, and the right of
suffrage extended TO every unthinking piece
OF humanity, know that they are their food
and pander to them, laying their own better
Judgment on the shelf, and make "stoop TO
succeed" their motto. They feign TO be de-
Mented over the free schools; capital is not
taxed enough to run them longer. They
want to run them, il the government stands
still. II they do not increase taxes and run
the schools longer, which will stop the gov
eminent, they will not long have any CAPT
La to tax, as the cut-throats will soon have
1t. Unless the schools are run in pious chan
nels, the taxpayer is only whetting the
lions teeth, TO be devoured by him; at best,
the taxpayer pays to educate labor, and
then, when he employs it, pays for it again.
10 it goes. Whip the horse the bardestth
pulls the most. Yours, respectfully,

nroYusftfons which the F,fpancc Committee
OF the Senate Will be called upon 10 con-
s.der after tue reassefn bling Of Congress
will be fhe reduction OF the tobacco tax by
o graduated scale. The proposition Is urged
by dealers who haYe large stocks on hand
at prices based on the twenty iaur-cent tax,
Mr. Theodore II. IA Hen. OF New York q
large manufactured, will present ID very In
genious plan. The following as3 the scaie
he proposes i: Al discount to purchasers
OF stamps for the first two. months
after the passage. OF The n act OK i've
per cent. from twenty four tenta, or. one

cents per pound; for the next two months

thereafter 33s per cent, or eight cents per
Mound. He will argue TINT this mode
would cause but little loss, IL any, to the
holders OF tax advanced on tobacco. il
would increase the income OF the Govern

cents at one, time, the loss would be about

cause a great many failures and panic in
the trade. Mr. Allen nrgnes that as manu-
