The action of the tax commission. in de-
manding a reduced expenditure by the
school board and the city council, is worthy
OF the very serious attention of the MEM

6xes the levy for the present year at 81 5-I0
mills, in place of the levy of 81 7-1o mills
of last year, reduction of 2-i0 mills. The
school board asked S1oS, coo and Il will get
$50, 900, to which the state tax will add
SIS. 900. A reduction Of expenditure is an
absolute public need, and the commission
has given the reasons for its action in the

Ch1neHA IN New YORK Removing the
Bodies of Their Countrymen to China.
NEW YORK, July 10.-Considerable curl
osity is manifested over the dead China
men whose bodies are to be exhumed from
Celestial Hill, in Evergreen Cemetery,
placed in Theoretically sealed metallic
caskets and forwarded TO their native land.
Two Chinese agents are here from San
Francisco for the purpose of carrying out
the work. They are inclined to maintain
q jealous secrecy concerning their opera
tions, and even to the cemetery authorities
will say but little. Both are intelligent
and educated. speak English fuently, and
dress like Americans. One of them told
reporter that they are constantly engaged
in this work.
When Chinaman who belongs TO his
society arrives in San Francisco his name
and description are recorded as well as his
destination. The dream of every Celestial
in America is TO some time return to his
native country, but should he die while
here, the facts and circumstances of his
death are also recorded, and after three
and half or four years his remains are ex-
humed and shipped TO China. Five graves
in Celestial Hill were opened last Saturday
and measurements made by Undertaken
Norton, of Mott street, who has charge of all
the Chinese funerals in New York.

THE TARIFF AND THE HORkING1fAN.
We doubt whether any single utterance
has ever made more profound impression
on this community than that made by Mr..
John Foos, on Monday evening, In reply to
Mr.. John II. Thomas's address on the re-
duction and revision of the tariff, before
the Jefferson club. The reply by
Mr.. Foos was most remarkable
address = clear, concise, comprehen-
sive and overwhelming. Its arguments
were cold facts and figures from census and
official reports, the logic of which none
could dispute. The low tariffs and the
high tariffs we have had In this country
we're contrasted, with their prices and the
wages Of workingmen and the profits Of
the farmers, and 1t was shown, in an ire
sIstible and uuanswerable array of statis-
tics, that when the country had low tariff,
products were high and wages were low,
and that in the periods when we had high
tariff-a protective tarif-the prices of
products have been decreased and wages
have been increased. We cannot 90 into
detail. The address is to be given to the
public in full, after having been carefully re-
vised. and it will no dcbubt be placed with
in lhe reach of all who wish to read it,
study it, and verify its assertions. We can
only give, as we have in the foregoing, the
general result of his statements.
Mr.. Thomas having declared that the
prices Of clothing were too high, Mr.. Foos
followed somewhat in the line of General
Harrison's suggestion that some things
might be too cheap. Mr.. Fo0s said that a
suit of wooden clothing for man could be
bought in this city for $40. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Thomas, clothing for
men was fifty per cent too high. There
fore, the price of this woolen suit should
SIS. But, Mr. Foos suggested, If this ten dol
lar suit should be sold for S5, the price of
the wool, and the wages of the factory
hand and the tailor and the profit of both
the farmer and the tradesman must be cut
down.
Mr. Foos triumphantly refuted an idea
prevalent among democrats and unin-
formed persons, namely, that a protective
tariff increased prices-by showing that.
usually, the protecting of home industry
has SO encouraged and strengthened our
American manufacturers that they were
enabled not alone to compete with British
manufacturers here at home, but TO COM
pete with them in their own land. For
now, despite the much lower wages re-
ceived by cotton factory operatives in Eng
land than those paid in this country, we
are selling our cotton products in the great
cities in England-even in Manchester it.
self. As a matter of fact, we are also ex-
porting immense quantities of carpet
goods to England. All this is IN the line
of securing balance of trade incur favor,
for Mr.. Foos enforced the very significant
fact that If an individual or nation bought
more than he or it sold, the result would.
sooner or later, be bankruptcy. A more
or comprehendable presenta-
tion of the tariff problem in its relation to
the people was never made in this city, and
we have no doubt that it will have lasting
results.

VALUE OF DRAINAGE.
How Land Is BeautifieI by Thorough and
Practical Understanding.


There are hundreds OF acres sOwed
TO oats and planted to corn every
spring. that are spoiled in the cultiva-
ton because the land is too wet to til;
to good advantage; yet ii is the best
that can be done under the circum
stances. You must go on whenever ~
is possible for the team to travel across
it. or the field sOwed in such a manner,
put in when the ground is so soft that
the harrow does not fill up the horse
tracks. then followed by hot sun tina.
bakeS 2. hard crust on the surface
through which the air can not circulate
freely. Indeed. when we consider the
unfavOrablc conditions the plants have
to contend with, it is surprising that
we ret the crops we do. Then let III
look at a field that has been properly
drained The low spots are dry and
fit to work as soon as the knobs. You
can get on to work it easier and III
better shape; the surplus water in
stead of lying on the surface until
it evaporates, leaving the ground
baked and the oats in a very sickly
condition, goes through the earth TO
the channel provided for it, thus
making innumerable little passages
through which the air can penetrate
and sweeten the soil. The drained
land absorbs more heat from the sun;
plants get the benefit of this hsat and
air: are healthier; grow better, and
therefore give larger yields, and as a
rule the growing season is considerably
heightened. This one advantage of
getting oats sowed essrly. often make.
all the difference between a poor and a
good crop.
Another important point in favor of
tile draining. in my opinion. is the
greater benefit we derive from the ma
nure applied. as compared with wet
Land not drained. 1t is the plan OF
most farmers in this locality to haul out
the manure in the winter and early
spring and spread it on the fields in
tended for corn. After the ground
thavs out and before the manure is
turned under. we generally have some
heavy rains. and | am sure every OBJ
serving farmer must have noticed ion
wet lands) the streams OF liquid ma
nure running down the burrows seeking
their way to the nearest water course,
because the ground was full OF water
and thers was no other alternative. In
the case of the tiled land the water
level is always on level with the tiles,
consequently when the manure is spread
on the surface, that which the rain
washes out and carries with it, must be
nearly all left in the earth as the water
filters through to reach the drains. =
