Non-Recognition and the Flaw-Piokers.

Some writer has truly said "No man is hero
to his valet, and he should have continued ''nor
woman heroine to her femme de chambre." And
while this fact is due, in degree, to the dullng
effect of constant contact, yet the far greater
reason lies in the microscopic paraphernala of in
ferior minds, who habitually gaze through the
wrong end of the magnifying glass Mental Lilli-
putians are loath to recognize their Gullivers,
They will live next-door neghbor to an Emerson
or George Eliot their three score years and ten
without being kinded to enthusiasm. In fact, they
resent and fight the knowledge that they are not
all common dung-hilI fowls together. They sting
and poison, in their mean little way, everybody
who threatens to overshadow them. That is the
objectionable sim As long as you are willing to
grow in obscurity, like they do, you are compare
lively safe; but "woe unto you'' if your mind is

THE LIQUOR TAX.

s'The present internal revenue system went into
operation September /, 1862. Up to June 80, 1885,
little less than twenty three years, liquor and
tobacco paid to the government two thousand and
twenty nine millions, nine hundred and sixty-two
thousand, three hundred and sixteen dollars 49,
O29, 1902, 316). Has it been a pecuniary advantage
to the persons engaged in this business to collect
this large tax from the people and pay it over to
the government? Doesn't the great increase of
capital in the business indicate where the advan-
tage lies? The liquor interest has become wealthy
under this exorbitant taxation, and arrogant in
pressing the business that it is unmindful of the
injury it is inhictng upon the communities in
which the traffic is carried on. Take the tax from
these articles and bring the tax down to what it
costs to produce them, and you take the money
value out of the business. The manufacturers
and dealers cease to be government tax collectors
and drop down to vendors of an article that can
be furnished for fraction of cent glass-too
small a profit to induce man to throw away his
conscience and reputation. The guild could no
longer retain so many criminal lawyers in the state
nor spend thousands of dollars in shaping legisla-
ton to their interest. We further believe that
this revenue is not needed by the government, and
that the large surplus that it brings into the treas
ury is standing menace to honesty and q fruitful
source of, if not an invitation to- corruption. For
these reasons we earnestly urge the abolition of
Nd Ito tbo oil
classes to this end. -
The Prohibition platform is based entirely upon
knowledge OF human natures With less profit
in the saloon business there must of necessity be
fewer to engage in it. Large cities will perhaps
not have quite so many palatal saloons, gilded
hells where the liquor is handed over the counter
to the upper ten, who are ready to pay for it.
They have all they want, any way; they would
drink no more even if it were cheaper. In Canada,
where drink of whisky costs much less than in
the United States, there not as many drunkards
The probability is with less profit in the whisky
business there would be more aduteraton, and
the stuff be ver than it now is. The man with
cultivated () taste would occasionally refuse it,
even when his friends desired to manifest the HIGH
esteem in which he is held. The poor man could
get what he wanted cheaper, and have few cents
left from his weeks wages for the family necessi-
ties. The man who would drink more because it
was cheaper would soon kill himself and the world
be rid of him. Society already has its crepe and
bombazine laid away in the bureau drawer, and
will don it with becoming fortitude when Provi-
dence and Prohibition see fit to remove him from
its midst. The world could get on famously with
the drunkard's vacant chair and with fewer
saloons.
Miss Willard further says: "Nobody sees more
clearly than the brewers and dstillers do that the
day when the United States treasury ceases to be
interested in their receipts will be followed by the
