TAXATION mUsr CONE Dows.

One hundred and fifty millions of
dollars is a great deal of money, yet that
is the sum now taken from the people
of the United States annually in exec -
Of the requirements of the government.
1t is q fearful drain on the resources OF
the country, but the prosperity of the
republic has been so great that it has
been borne uucomplsiningly. Every
year that this unnecessary FAX is levied
The people who pay IT are rendered less
and less able 20 withstand adversely.
Besides being = needless burden upon
the tax payers, the accumulation of this
vast surplus at Washington excites iu-
dividusl and corporate greed, and pro-
NOTES wasteful extravaganza aud job
berry.
There are no legitimate business in
terests'' which require the further i'm
position of tax far in excess of that
actually needed by the government.
No circumlocution, as suggested by
Mr.. BLAINE, and in divers ways by
Others, will answer. The taxing ma
chine, product Of the war period, is
much too powerful for the country.
Seine portions Of it must be taken
down and laid away, sni If in the pro-

THIS IecvleSs squsTderiug OF our pu6-
lie domain eXeites general complaint.
Lsst year 10000, 600 acres were disposed
of. The public domain acquired from
France, Spain, Texas, Mexico, Russia
and other eessiOn from the States was
about l So, $4,000 acres, costing S322,-
100000. OF this outlay the government
has received back about S2O0,00O,O O).
The sales have been 200,000,0OO acres,
while sc, O0O,G COZ acres have bsen given
away. Nearly all the land Remaining
in the hands OF the government Is Of
little value compared with the territory
disposed of. Urder the timber culture
law and the homestead act, it is claim
ed that a criminal negligence OF admin
istration has placed millions of acres in
the hands OF land sharks. Bona file
settlers are in minority, and vagsbond
squstters ant timber thieves are nu-
merous. In Alaska n settler, instead Of
being confined to 100 acres, is allowed
under various laws to take |, l20 acres.
So even in IL g. region the land is being
too rapidly taken up. 1t is Ell dent that
the land laws and the methods of their
administration need overhauling.

acted into Law by the last Republican
Congress. The law then framed has
not accomplished that object AS Mr..
CARLISLE says, it is in many respects
worse than the one it professsd to re-

then, are concerned, the Speaker stands
in precisely the same position as the
Republican party in the last Congress.
The only difference IL that he declares
he win enaesvor to do what they
promised, but did not accomplish.

q course Is certain to react on those who
attempt to mislesd the public, who de-
sire to see fair play all around.

Temperance.

There is a vast difference of opinion among
temperance men as TO the best method of
overcoming the evils of the liquor traffic.
Some believe in prohibition and think that
il all there is which is worthy of notice.
Others believe only in moral suasion, while
still another portion of the community be-
lieve the present system of taxation is the
better way. The NoRTHERNER is of the opin-
ion that the present law is very good one,
although some of its provisions, especially
that referring To habitual drunkards are diff
ficult of enforcement. The following are
some of the salient features of the law, and
in communities where the law is properly
regarded we apprehend there would be little
cause for complaint.
The sale of intoxicating liquor is prohib-
tied to minors, to intoxicated persons, 10
persons in the habit of getting intoxicated
and to any person whose husband, wife, par
ent, child, guardian or employer shall forbid
it. The penalty is from 500 to 800 fine
and from 10 TO 80 days imprisonment. Any
person feeling himself aggrieved may enter
complaint, and the prosecuting attorney will
attend TO it. No security for costs required
Any person furnishing another with liquor
no matter how small the quantity, without
having paid a dealers tax is liable to the
same punishment. Any person intoxicated
in any street or public place is liable to q
fine of $40 and costs and imprisonment
from 10 TO 20 days.

What will it profit us to buy cheap goods
in England if our own people are deprived
Of the wherewith to buy? Besides we can
buy nothing cheap of foreign countries that
has TO be purchased at the expense of having
our own raw material unused and our labor
unemployed. Experience has taught us, too,
time and again, that the reduction or aboli-
ton of duty does not necessarily cheaper
a given article. A protective tariff compels
foreign manufacturers 10 sell to Us very
cheap or not at all. Remove that tariff and
foreign capital with its pauper labor would
drive our manufacturers with their high
paid labor out OF the field or into bankrupt
cy This accomplished, foreign manufactur-
ers would have a monopoly of the trade.
Then we would see what "buying where you
can buy the cheapest means. Does any one
suppose, for instance, that foreign monop-
oily of the manufacture of railroad iron would
bring about reduction in the price of iron
equivalent TO the amount of duty now paid?
All history and common sense teaches us
that such would not be the case. Several
times has the experiment been tried and
each time there has been an increase rather
than a reduction in the price. And ii would
be equally true with every other manufac-
tured article. The laws of trade, the supply
and demand, competition, these it is that
regulate prices.-Chdriotte Republican.

this disease has been exercised in the past,
the per centage of infected trees is small.
In places where negligence has been the rule
the percentages large. One of the Antwerp
commissioners informs me that the same
conditions produce the same results in that
town, and without doubt it is 80 elsewhere
AS in the past SO in the future. Infected
trees destroyed, stops the spread of the dis.
ease as far as those trees are concerned. In.
fected trees left to live will spread the dis
ease and do incalculable damage to healthy
trees in the vicinity. N. ArwELL.

The "YeIlOws" Question.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I notice in the last NORTH
ERNER some observations" on the raid of
the yellows commissioners. etc. Having had
some experience with the yellows since its
first appearance in this part of our county.
and as one of the commissioners of Porter
township, having examined thousands of
peach trees this season, / will offer some
observations on this yellows business.
The law requires the township board to
appoint three competent men as commits
sioners who hold their Office of the pleasure
Of the board,--the commissioners or any one
Of them 10 examine trees, ETC. Now, il is
plain that in case a mistake has been made
and a commissioner proves TO he incompe-
tent, that it IS the right and privilege of the
fruit-growers TO petition the board for his
immediate removal and the appointment of
a competent man in his place. AS TO the law
being arbitrary, it goes without saying that
there are other salutary laws for the protec-
lection Of the interests of the people that are
Just as arbitrary as this law. Careful and
progressive fruit growers are not opposed to
this law. We have not found an instance of
opposition TO the law or the work of the
commissioners under the law from person
who is posted in regard TO this disease.
Even in cases where heavy percentage of
their orchard has been condemned such peo-
pie do not blame the law, but blame them
selves for not being more careful in the past
or some one for neglect or refusal to destroy
infected trees in the past Opposition to the
law comes from different class of people.
Ii often comes from the owners of neglected
and worthless trees in gardens and fence
corners. IL comes from those who refuse to
recognize the early symptoms of the disease
and only admit that peach tree has the
yellows when it is nearly dead and has al
ready got in its work in spreading the dis
ease to neighboring trees and orchards. It
comes from those who claim the ability to
cure the yellows, shutting their eyes to the
fact that in the eighty years or more since
the disease was first known, not single well
established case of cure is on record. The
best fruit growers and the best writer's on
fruit culture unanimously agree that the
only remedy as yet known is the destruction
OF the diseased trees. In every case o. al
legged cure some other unhealthy condition of
the tree has been mistaken for the yellows
In Porter we find that in orchards and neigh
borhoods where vigilance in connection with

At the last session of our Legislature an act
was passed relieving all persons who use
wide tire wagons from portion of their
highway tax. But those who use no wagons
at all have to pay the full amount just the
same as ever. If we are to adopt the prin-
ciple that those who do the least injury to
the roads should pay the least tax, parties
who do not use any wagon at all ought to be
wholly exempt from highway taxation.
