We have nore than once sug-

Audrlin contingent tn be present
at the meeting of Democrats that
will take place in that city on the
day mentioned. The press Of

is uo better way for such an end 10
be obtained than by immediate
work Oh the part 1t the Democrats
Of each county in the way Of organ
iziug home forces. 1t is quite time
that steps were being taken IN this
county toward securing Il glorious,
not to say creditable representation
at this meeting. Every township
in Audraiu should at once gather
together its warriors and prepare to
send It's representatives TO ST.
Louis. From the seven town

CATION Of Democrats should go

Democrat in Missouri that this

turn To our old time majority is
called for; a revival Of Democratic
spirit and enthusiasm is required.
Such an uprising is needed that
will forever quell the thought oil
Republican supremacy in Missouri.
The wolf is III the fold, but with q
single calling of the shepherd he
should be driven out. Old Tins
majorities are what we want; old

There Is no filter day in the calen

The pure Democracy espolsed by

CIark's Policy Tax Bill.

TO the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Feb. 9.--I desire
briefly to call the attention of policy
holders in life insurance companies
to Representative Clark's bill to
tax such policies. His bill pro-
poses to tax 'life policies, either
paid up or unpaid, provided they
are due Or may be due in a stipu-
lated number of years." and are to
be assessed on amount of prem
ium paid in on such policies. Any
life policy is either dae or may be
due under the law ofthis State in a
stipulated number ofyears, and ac-
cording to the terms of the policy
they may be surrendered for cash.
or paid up policy in lieu, usually
after the second annual payment,
and so on each year thereafter.
| That being the case, this bill will
impose a tax on any policy issued.
But, why tax them when they
are in no sense property. being
simply 4 provision It man has
made for his family in the event of
his death; and especially, why tax
them when the premium paid
has gone from the policy holder
and belongs to the insurance COM
pany issuing the policy? 1t is all
right to have the company pay
taxes on the premiums received,
but why tax the policy holder on
the premium that is no longer his
When the policy holder dies and
the insurance company pays his
widow or orphans the indemnity
his premiums have purchased,
then that money so paid is taxa
BILE and of course should be, as all
other property is taxed. Should
this bill become alaw, it will simply
prevent a man of moderate means
from purchasing insurance and
thus providing for his family after
his death. This bill proposes tc
levy & tax on a mans love for hi,
family and his desire to keep them
from perjury and want after death
has removed their support and pro.
tector. Wealthy men do not neec
insurance for their families, and /
this bill passes poor men canno'
have it. There on other objection:
to theproposed law not mentioned
for want of time. An appropriat,
title for the bill would be: "Al
act TO prevent husbands and father.
OF moderate means, with Iarg,
families dependent on them 70
support, from making a provision
: for such support after the death 0
such husbands and fathers"
