STATE INCOME TAX.

We submit the following crude outline
of a law which we think would be Just
and proper, and would add largely to our
revenues, State, county, and municipal.
We inyite discussion by our breth1e en- OF
the press, and by citizens generally. We
would state that we have not given to the
subject the thought that its importance
merits Our object in writing this article
is to set others to thinking, that we and
the public may profit by their thoughts.
All laws imposing tax on money loan
ed at interest, and on solvent credits-ex-
cept bank deposits, without interest, of
money not forming part of the taxed cap
ital invested in any business-shall be
abolished.
A tax of six per cent shall be levied on
all incomes arising from interest on notes,
bonds, and evidences of debt of any de-
scription, whether these notes, bonds, or
other evidences be held in the State or
deposited outside the State, and from in
terests on credits of all kinds, and from
dividends on shares in any joint stock
company, whether incorporated by this
or any other State, or authorized by the
laws of the United States, and from prof
its realized in the buying or selling of
stocks, cotton futures, and grain futures,
whether such sales be made in this or any
other State.
We would thank some friend, learned
in the law, to examine these suggestions,
and point out wherein any of them con-
fiict with the Constitution of the United
States, as expounded by the courts, if any
of them do so conf1ict-Colum6ws Dem

BETTER THAN
CURE.

The following extract is from an ad-
dress by the venerable DIR. Samuel ID.
Gross, recently delivered at the dedication
services at the unveiling of the Mcdowell
monument, in Danville, KY. These words
have practical ring, and were addressed
to the young men of the Kentucky Medi-
cal Society, who were presentin large num-
bers: 3sss s
The great question of the day is, not
this operation or that-not ovariotomy, or
litholomy, or a hip joint amputation,
which has reflected so much glory upon
Kentucky medicine-but preventive med
icine, the hygiene of our persons, our
dwellings, our streets-in word, our sur
roundings, whatever and wherever they
may be, whether in city, town, hamlet, or
country, and the establishment of efficient
town and State boards of health, through
whose agency we shall be the better able
to prevent the origin and fatal effects OF
what are known as the zymotic disease,
which carry so much woe and sorrow IN
to our families, and often sweep ike a
hurricane over the earth, destroying mil
lions of human lives in an incredibly snort
time. The day has arrived when the peo-
pie must be reused to deeper and more
earnest sense of the peoples welfare, and
suitable measures adopted for the protec-
ton as well as for the better development
of their physical, moral, and intellectual
powers. This is the great problem of the
day, the question which,you, as represen-
tatives of the rising generation of physi.
clans. should urge, in season and out of
season, upon the attention of your fellow
citizens-the question which, above and
beyond all others, should engage your
most serious thoughts, and elicit your most
earnest cooperation.

A few Jealous spirits in Alfalfa Grange,
South Florida, are making it one of the
strongest, most efficient Oranges in the
country. Over thirty applicants have been
received during the past six months, and
the meetings are always full and the pro-
ceedings very interesting. Much credit
is due to the Secretary, Bro G. w. Wells,
who is one of the most progressive and
patriotic Patrons in the country.

The "new process" of manufacturing
cotton is exciting considerable interest
throughout the Cotton States, and intelli-
gent farmers who have investigated the
system regardaits general adoption in our
section as but question of time. The
articles we have published on the subject
during the past year or two, many of
which have been reproduced in other
journals, have attracted general attention
and excited widespread interest in it.
Individual and Oranges in several States
are taking steps to put up and operate
these factories, and there will soon be a
general movement in all the Cotton States
to establish them. That the s'new pro-
cess" will entirely supplant the old cum
bersome and expensive system, there is
not the shadow of a doubt The mer-
chants, the owners of warehouses and
congresses, and the railway and other
corporations, may array themselves sol
idly against the change, but their COM
bined strength and wealth will be power
pany may put up factory on the ''old
process" plan, but they will see their mis-
take in due time, and change to the "new.''
We make this assertion confidently, for il
is plain to any one who has investigated
the subject, that the old system cannot
possibly compete with the new.

One of the leading objects of the pa
triotc men who labored so earnestly and
faithfully and efficiently during the first
years of the Order, was to bring about re-
form in political as we'll as In business at
fairs They hoped that, as the farmers
became more intelligent from associating
with each other in the Grange, they would
see the necessity of acting together in
their respective political organizations. In
this way, and in this way alone, can they
nominate and elect men of their class to
represent and advocate their rights and
interests in State and National affairs.
Those bold, practical men had long been
close observers of the tactics of the pro-
fessional politicians, and saw with alarm
the steady growth of their dangerous
power; but in the then disorganized con-
dition of the farmers, it was impossi-
BILE to get their attention fixed upon any
movement to reform the political parties
and elevate the standard of official morals
and capacity. In this reformatory work,
the true men of the Order have had many
obstacles to surmount Prominent among
these obstacles were the professional of
fce-seekers, who slipped in to use the
Order for their selfish purposes; then
there were aspiring farmers who joined
the Grange with the hope of being
able to deliver the farmers in a body to
any town ring that would promise them
the nominations for the offices they want
ed. The former soon found that the
Grange was no place for them, so they qui-
etly slipped out, but the latter remain.
These still cling to the Grange, and will
continue to scheme for office and work
for the town rings. The pernicious power
of these can be destroyed, if the true men
of the Order are faithful to the cause and
to themselves: they have but to turn their
backs upon such members, to drive them
from the field. 1t should be the policy
of the Order that under no circumstances
shall 1t be used by scheming office seek
err When this is done, though the Order
may lose few active but selfish members,
it will gain immeasurably in strength and
influence: for while it will be rid of dan
gerous element, the great body of farmers
who really desire the success Of its prin-
ciples and measures will be drawn to it.
The influence of the Grange on political
parties has shown itself in almost every
State, in drawing out a better class of men
and in improving and elevating the char
acter of legislation. That influence can
be made all powerful in both political
parties, if the more intelligent, patriotic
and influential farmers step to the front
and enforce the teachings of the Grange.

There are many farmers who have kept
put of the Grange because they thought
1t would soon die out AS it has not died
and as there are hundreds of Oranges in
almost every State in the Union in active
operation and many of them stronger than
ever, some of them even having extensive
profitable cooperative enterprises under
successful headway, they had better throw
their doubts to the winds, and go to work
IN their organization for the elevation of
themselves and their families They need
pave no fears of the Grange dying out.
1T is fixture in this country-one of the
institutions that will not only keep pace
with the wonderful growth of the coun-
try, but becoming ruling power in all
business and industrial affairs.

CONGRESS.

ming, the 1st inst. 1t is not probable that
Mr. Hayes will call another extra session.
All the appropriations have been
voted necessary to run the full ma
chinery of the Government, except
that to pay the fees of marshals and
their deputies. Provision for paying the
salaries of marshals was made in the Ju-
dietary appropriation bill, which Mr..
Hayes signed on Monday. This act re-
peals the infamous jurors test oath, and
provides a new method of selecting juries
to prevent their being packed by partisan
marshals.
A separate bill was passed appropria-
ting 100000 to pay fees of marshals and
their deputies, coupled with a provision
forbidding the use of any part of the ap-
preparation to pay deputy marshals for
services, and the incurring of liability for
any, object for which no appropriation
had been made. This bill Mr. Hayes ve-
toed on Monday, and followed his veto
message with special message, earnestly
urging Congress to make the appropria-
ton without the prohibition. This, Con
gress failed to do
Can the President, through his mar
shals, employ deputy marshals to serve at
the polls in the absence of an appropria
tioni Contingent expenses incurred by
marshals and other officers, beyond the
limits of an appropriation, as being un-
foreseen, are usually provided for by de-
ficiency bills, and the offences, if any,
thereby condoned. But in the face of the
express determination of Congress to with
hold appropriations for specific object
would it not be a usurpation amounting
to an impeachable offence for the Presi-
dent to incur pecuniary liability for such
object?
A little bone on the part of State
Governments jealous of their reserved
rights, would effectually settle this matter.
What has Congress done?
Except the jurors test oath and the law
for the packing of juries, it has repealed
none of the odious laws on the statute
book. 1t could not, without the concur
renee of the President. 1t did not on this
account stop the wheels of the common
government, and it should not have done
so
But it forces the President, if he exc
cutes the unconstitutional laws, to do so
without an appropriation, and in the face
of the express Withholding of appropria-
tions for the payment of supervisors, dep
uty marshals, and troops at telections-thus
rendering the usurpation more fragrant.
1t has sharply defined the issues be-
tween the parties, the Republicans in
both Houses having been forced to make
record which they, in time, will call on
the seas to wash out, and on the mountains
to fall and hide.
Ithas again brought into prominence the
true theory of our federal government
the rights of the States and the just limi-
| tations of the Federal power-which had
been obscured and almost forgotten the
long night of usurpation and despotism.
We regret that it has done nothing in
the direction of financial reform. A little
band of Bond Bank Democratic Senators
backed by the whole Republican strength
in the Senate, has defeated every measure
looking to the rescue of the people from
the tolls of the Eastern Money Rings.

In replying to your valued letter of the

eating home over foreign trade.
You imagined l magnifed foreign trade,
while my efforts ever have been to show
its insgniicance, compared with devel-
oping HOME textile manufactures, by
which the people are well clothed, fed,
and housed, by being well employed
Foreign trade is more or less CONNER
cial war, often causing great evils. Most
nations are trying to buy raw products in
the cheapest, and to sell their manufac-
tures in the dearest markets.
[ prize these manufactures as furnish
ing the best markets for farm products
and diversified labor.
Their value appears from the many
Acts passed by the British Parliament
from 1850 to 1870 to crush our first man
ufacturing efforts, causing the revolution

The charge of plagiarism against the
Rev. DR.. Lorimer has caused great
deal of discussion in Chicago. Six
Methodist clergymen, in town to attend
conference, went to hear him preach.
On their way from the church, one re-
marked that some of the language of
the sermon was familiar. Another said
it was from sermon delivered year be-
fore by the Rev. DR.. Parker, in London.
A comparison of DR.. Lorimer's own
manuscript, as furnished by him to s.
newspaper for publication, with a print
ed report of DR.. Parker's discourse,
showed that in many long passages the
former was plain copy Of the latter.
DR.. Lorimer has published defense, in
which he says: my memory is such
that pretty nearly everything I read ad-
heres to it, frequently in the words Of
the author, and it unconsciously be-
comes part of my mental furniture, and
consequently I run the risk, when am
treating OF kindred topics, of employing
similar, and, at times, Identical Ian
guage, without intendingin the least to
wrong any one. Writer'S of marked in
dividuality possess me entirely, photo
graph themselves on my mind, become
