Where the Day Begins

According to the way in which this
arrangement is now carried out, the
first land that the new day dawns up
on is Easter Island, about $50 miles
west of the coast of Chill, South Amer
lea. That is to say, that the End of
July breaks here within a few hours
OF the LIST, having broken on the Amer
lean coast to the east, and the two
days run on alongside-thc 2nd in
Easter Island and places west, the LIST
in all places on the American CONT
ntnt. We may therefore realize this
idea-that at Z 20 O'Clock any morn
ing Of our lives in Great Britain the
next day is commencing in the world,
and is to be found at this little island
in the Pacific ocean, whence, in due
course, it will travel round to ms. But
TO have thus the start of The world is
not a., nnmitigated advantage to these
Islanders. Suppose one ri them sails
east to America, what is the result?
He will find that they keep the day
there under different date, and he
will have to reckon one day in his cal
endar twice over to put himself right
with their notions. On the other
hand, il an American crosses from

where the day higns he will find the

are one in adyance al him, and he
must needs strike day out Of his cal

fact was curiously illustrated in the
case of Magellan, the Portuguese cap

east to west in 1922, aud having cross

Over the r. 4 D.

Knoxville Journal
All the freight coming from the
south and consigned to East Tennes-
see cities, is being diverted from the
main line OF the East Tennessee road
at Morrstown and is turned over to
the Western North Carolina division
OF the Richmond and Danville at Hot
Springs. The Norfolk and Western
turns over an immense amount of
south bound freight to the East Ten
nessee road at Bistol, which, OF course,
the latter system cannot refuse.
1t has been suggested that the R. &
D. would cripple the through business
of the East Tennessee by diversion at
Atlanta, Macon and other junction
points. But, according to President
Inman, of the West Point Terminal
company, the traffic managers of the
several roads under his control are ex-
pected to compete for business with
the same amount OF energy and hard
work as ever. There will be no COM
petition in rates and all business will
be handled at figures made by the
West Point company. Mr.. B. w,
Wrenn will continue as general pas
senger agent OF the East Tennessee
lines. and he will be found doing his
share OF the passenger business.

THE AMANA COLONY.
A Religious Community In Iowa Manage
on the Cooperative Plan.

A Religious Community In Iowa Managed
on the Co-operative Plan.
The Amana community in Iowa, in
cluding Il population of about two thou
sand, is an interesting illustration OF
the success of cooperative effort
among thrifty Germans. The settle
ment was begun in 1855, and the colony
now owns $4,000 acres of land. The
land forms single township, and the
people are grouped in seven villages.
Each village is a social and industrial
unit, and has a definite are assigned to
it for cultivation and pasturage. The
government of the colony affairs, as a.
whole, is invested in board of thir-
teen trustees, while each village has it's
board of elders, varying in number
from seven in the smallest to eighteen
in the largest. The central institution
in each village is the ''store," which is
large general retail establishments,
carrying groceries, drugs, dry goods,
clothing, hats and caps, hardware, etc.
Its bookkeeping is very elaborate, for,
except in dealing with outsiders, the
colonists do not ordinarily use money.
Every thing is done by a system of ac-
counts which are kept at the ''store."
The blacksmith shop and the carpen
ter shop have accounts against the
farm department, which are duly re-
corded on the village books. Every
family or adult has an account at the
''store," certain credits being appor-
toned to all members by the elders at
the commencement of each year, which
are drawn against by purchasers
Boarding-ho furnish meals to men,
bers in each village in groups of from
forty to fifty each. Houses are assigned
to families by the elders, who provide
shelter for all. The community con-
ducts number of mills and manufact-
uring enterprises. PHtsburyh Dispatch.

A Question OF Cash.

Where no necessity for taxation ex.
lists and taxes are imposed, there is u
wrong done to the people taxed.
A taxed imposed for financial
emergency and maintained after that
emergency is passed is wrong done
to the people taxed.
A tax imposed without the author
ity of the constitution by which the
Government imposing the tax is gov
erned is illegal.
These three propositions are innon-
trovertible.
With over one hundred millions in
the Treasury above current expenses,
the United States Government has nc
necessity for extraordinary taxation,
such rs forty-seven per cent. on tho
articles used in daily life.
There being no war, no demand for
a financial surplus, to raise and main
tain surplus is unjust,
The constitution never having au-
thorized the war tariff, it is Illegal,
These seven propositions are what
the Democratic party goes to the peo'
pie ON. They are the platform Of

THE LABoRlNG MEN.
Facts Showing That They Are Taxed for
Every Thing They Buy.

Facts Showing That They Are Taxed for
Every Thing They Buy.
The prohibitory tariffites have sue
ceeded in maintaining for long time
the law which has worked such evil to
the wage-workers of the land. The peo-
pie during the past few years have been
studying the tariff question and learn
ing how unjust and oppressive its pro-
visions have been towards them. They
have found that few people have
been receiving the benefits therefrom,
while they, the great mass of people,
have been struggling in vain for their
rights. The wage-workers have found
themselves unprotected and at the
mercy OF an oppressive law. They
have found that they have received no
benefits from its working, but to the
contrary they have been and are to-
day bearing the full burden of heavy
taxation. For instance, for every dol
lars worth of cotton thread the women
buys she pays So per cent. protection;
for every dollars's worth of cotton
cloth, As per cent; for every dollars
worth of cotton damask or cotton
velvet. 40 per cent. The wife, when
putting up her fruit, for every dollars
worth of fruit jars pays Sc per cent.
When the children attend school in
order to gain common education
writing is one of the essentials and
they are forced to pay for every dol
lars worth OF ink, 20 cents for the ink
and 80 cents for protection. For every
dollars worth OF tinware that goes into
the house the good wife pays 55 cents
for the ware and 45 cents tax. The
farmer, the teamster and every man
who owns horse is compelled to keep
him shod and when in doing so he
buys dollars worth OF shoes he pays
AZ cents for shoes and 81 cents for pro-
lection. In putting the shoes on he
pays for every dollars worth OF nails,
"a cents for the nails and rs cents for
protection, over three times the cost oi
the nails besides having them driven
by highly protected hammer
As Senator Thurman truthfully said
in his speech, the farmer or laboring'
man is taxed for every thing he wears
from the top of his head to the soles o
his feet. The wage-workers, the
farmers and the mechanics are al
asked to continue an unreasonable ant
burdensome tax upon themselves
J Down with such unjust taxation. :

willing 10 accept lower prices for such COM
modify. and that such prices are remuncrattvei
and lower prices produced bv competition
prove the samo thing. Thus, where either OF
these things exists, case would seem TO be

The fact is that there are no less
than twenty trusts directly affected by
the Mills bill. They control business
in the following articles,

the Mills bill and the effort to prevent
surplus accumulation by revising tariff
and reducing taxes have nothing to
do with the National election" Is
there any possible absurdity at which
he will stop in his effort to extricate

the absurd predicament in which they

No Less Than Twenty Combines Directly
Affected by the Mills bill.
Mr.. Blaine says that trusts are large
ly private affairs, with which the Ma

also says:
Take the Mills bill, that the House or its com.
mtttee had under consideration for seven
months, in which they were seeking to do the
most radical things with our revenue laws that
they dared. That bill, after its seven months
incubation, left the House containing forty
one sections, sixty seven octave pages more
than 1000 lines and 1900 words, and 1t does
not contain section, or line, or word, or syla-
BILE relating, directly or indirectly, or in any
way whatever to trusts. The zeal with which
OF the unpopularity OF trusts on the protective
tacir and upon tho Republican party seems not
even to have been heard of In Congress.
What President Cleveland thinks of
them is explained in his message as
follows:
In speaking OF the increased cost to the con-
surner OF our home manufactures, resulting
from duty laid upon imported articles OF the
same description, the fact is not overlooked
