The (Nashville) Christian Advocate

The (Nashville) Christian Advocate
says:
England is the rickest country in
the world, and yet there is terrible suf-
fering among the masses of her people.
This state Of things Is at times ineyita-
able with trading and manufacturing
nation, Prices viii fuctuate; markets
viii be closed; wages viii decline; work
will stop. Agricultural communities
are more independent; the necessaries
ofliie rarely fail. The surplus produc-
ton Of grain in the United States the
past year was enormous. And yet
we too are having hard times. Too
much whisky and to little statesman
ship.

The Post and Dispatch charges that
st. Louis loses Il half million dollars
annually by rich men evading the
law with reference to taxing personal
property 1t says, after careful inves-
tigation, in which names and lists Of
property are given:
We purposcIy abstain from com
ment upon this remarkable disclosure.
The facts are 50 patent that they
speak sufficiently for themselves. They
show, in the clearest and most unris-
taxable manner, that those who are
best able To pay taxes are ui-a h.~s
able 70 evade such payment. Iuey
show that honor and honesty, law a4G
oath even, are palpably violated b.
some Of our "eminentIv respectable
and "most prominent" citizens. They
show, beyond Il shadow Of doubt, that
upon property worth millions and mil
lions Of dollars, and in the hands Of
those who are the richest among the
rich, not one cent Is paid. They show
too, that this outrageous practice and
self evident wholesale violation Of law
would be impossible without the cul-
pabIe neglect Of those officials who
are charged with the execution Of the
revenue laws.
Prejudices against the rich are as
unworthy as Prcjudices against the
1
Both are alike before the law. But
both are not alike in observing the
law. 1t IS not catering to the preiu-
dice Of the many as against the few
the rich as against the poor, when we
state the obvious truth that the latter
are infinitely more conscientious, truth
full and honorable in their returns as
taxpayers than the rich If this be
doubted We viii give the returns Of
some poor people and show how they
compare with those OF their more for
tunatc felIow-mcn.

The Industrial Advocate saxs:

When you buy a box Of matches,
you pay five cents. There is a two
cent stamp on it. Consider who gets
that money. First, there is the farmer
who fells the timber; then, the miller
who saws it; then the man who pre-
duccs the chemicals; the match manu-
tacturcr; the wholesale dealer, and fl
nallv the retail dealer, together with
all the work people employed by them.
All these get three cents out Of your
five, while the bondholder alone, who
produces nothing, performs no service,
and is a drone in the human hive, gets
the other two. Make your moral.

LAKE Underwriters,


MILWAUKEE, April ia speck of war pre-
sented itself ut the meeting OF underwriters
agents yesterday. Mr.. james, Secretary OF the
Northwestern National, and another member of
the grain-cargo pool Executive Committee
were prescur for the purpos OF promulgating
the tariff adopted by the latter body. Capt.
David Vance asked them for informa~
ton us to what action had been taken
on the question Of season contracts made by
Mr. James, one OF the members Of the Com
mittee, in vlolation Of the grain-careo pool
regulations. Answer was made that it WAS
agreed to make no mention Of the matter.
"Brt," said Capt. Vance, II demand the in-
formation, not only for myself, but for those
present acting as agents also. The information
belongs to us, and We will have It, Mr..
James has made contrncts outside of the IRON
clad rules, and we have done the same thing.
II protection is to be afforded to him in the
matter, we demand the same protection IN our
contracts" The gentleman present with Mr.
james then stated that the Executive Commit
tee took no action whatever upon the question.
Such contracts, so made, could not be approved
OF, and the Committee Thought that tic disap-
proVal could be better manifested by refusal
to take up the subject than in any othel
way. When he bad finished Capt. Vance
again arose and said in most emphatic and
threatening manner: ~ want the members OF
the Executive Committee Of this grain-cargo
pool to understand that, if protection is to be
afforded Mr.. James in carrying out the irreEu-
lar contracts he has made, +, in common with
other agents, demand protection also, and for
one, in case it is refused, shall step out
Of the pool with the companies I rep
resent, to do business. IT the: pool can
stand this, well and good shall be
satisfied" There the matter ended, but It is
plain to see that trouble is brewing, which may
lead to complete disruption. II there is a ring
within this grain-cargo pool organization, the
outside agents here are determined to lind it
3ut. And should the discovery of its existence
oe made, then the combination will be abandon
ID at once by large majority OF the companies
represented in It.
