THE FEE SYSTEM.

There is more money in being sheriff
IN New York than in being president Of
the United States. An investigation by
legislative committee into the affairs
of the New York Shrievaity reveals the
fact that the sheriff pockets over $40,-
900 in fees every year, and in addition
to that makes profit of about s25, 900
annually On his account for taking care
of prisoners. This is an income far be-
yond the salary of any public officer in
the United States.
This is one among many numerous
arguments to show the necessity for
making all Offices salarled, and il fees
are to be collected. let them be turned
into the public treasury. There are
some offices here in Ramsey county
which are worth more to the incumbents
by three or four times than the Office of
governor or the salary paid to United
States senator. The Shrievalty and the
office of register of deeds are two of
them, and this abnormal income all re-
suits from the fee system. 1t seems
ridiculously inconsistent with all popu
lar notions concerning the public serv-
ice that county officer should receive
four times as much for his services as is
paid to the chief magistrate of the
state OF to senator in congress. 1t
will operate no hardship on the ineum-
bents of these county offices to change
the system of paying them, for there is
not one of them but would be willing to
perform the same service for one-fifth
of the present pay. In our judgment,
it would be better to have no fees at all,
but to require every public official to
perform all the duties of his Office for a
stated salary. But if fees are to be col
lected. the public, and not the official
should be the beneficiary.

POOLING THE FARMERS.

The most apparent fraud ever at
tempted to be perpetrated upon an in
telligent speople is those clauses of the
MCKINLEY tariff bill which propose to
place duty on farm products. This is
done with the evident intention of de-
luding the farmers into the belief that
they have an interest in maintaining
the protection policy, and thus to keep
them in line in support of Republican
principles. 1t is matter of surprise
that a man of Maj. MCKINLEY'S intelli-
gence could persuade himself into the
belief that the farmers of this country
are such set of ignoramuseS as not to
be able to detect the fraud.
There is not farmer of ordinary in
telligence in all the land but knows
that all import duty of 1000 per cent on
all farm products would be of no ad-
vantage to the agricultural interests.
American agriculture is not suffering
by reason of foreign competition in our
home markets. On the contrary. it is
suffering from the commercial reStric-
ton imposed by our excessive tariff
laws. In this country the increase of
production has been more rapid than
the increment of population. There are
not mouths enough in America to con-
sumo the product of the farms, and
owing to the restrictive feature of our
tariff policy we are unable to reach for
eign markets with the excess of our
agricultural products. Every cent i'm
posed as additional duty on American
products increases that difficulty. and
to that extent lowers the prices that our
farmers will receive for their stuff.
In illustration, tariff duty of 80 per
cent on wheat doesn't keep out Indian
or Russian wheat, because there is
none of that article seeking American
markets. But when the Minnesota
wheat producer goes into the Liverpool
market with his grain he finds himself
| confronted with 80 per cent retalia-
tory tax, which he must pay before he
can put the American product on the
| market in competition with wheat from
other parts of the world.
Instead of being a benefit to the farm
ers the duty on farm products proposed
by the MCKINLEY bill will be positive
| detriment, as its only effect will be to
lower the prices that are to be realized
| by the producers, and which are al
ready below the cost of production.
Look at the report OF the agricultural
| bureau of the state Of Illinois for last
year if you seek confirmation If what
we have said. The total value
of the corn crop in Illinois fol-
1889 was $5S,OOO,00O. and yet it
cost the farmers of that state $685.
100000 to produce it. In Kansas, where
a bushel of coal can be obtained for 20
cents, the farmers are burning corn fol-
fuel. Statistics from the agricultural
department at Washington show that
the American wheat crop last year re-
turned TO the grower less than IS pei
| acre.
Now if these ruinously low prices
were due to foreign competition in our
| home markets, then there would be
some justification for the proposed Nc
| KINLEY tax. But they are not due to
that cause. They are simply the result
of the lack of sufficient home popula-
! ion to consume our own agricultural

A COMING DANGER.

twas believed by HoRATIo SEYMOUR,
one of the most sagacious of the political
thinkers, that one of the great struggles
of the future, and that might even re-
suit in revolution, would be over the
unequal representation in the senate.
The great commercial and manufactur-
ing states would grow FESTIVE at being
put under the control of small scattered
communities. The danger is not les
sened by the fact that the senators from
the largest states are parties to this
business of multiplying little states for
immediate partisan advantage. Idaho
is to be pushed in solely to add to the
Republican states. 1t has more popula-
ton perhaps than Wyoming, but its
largest vote was 16,SO2. That included
large Mormon element that is to be
disfranchised. The population to be
represented is hardly more than $4,000

AN INCnME nay

One of the objections most urged to
the income tax when imposed by the
general government was that it was de-,
moralizing, leading people away from
the traditional example of the Father of
his Country. Whether this could apply.
to community where ethical princi-
pies are so utilized as presumed in
Massachusetts is in question, as that
state has an income tax that is not al
legged to irritate the popular mind or
lacerate the individual conscience. The
excess OF $1,000 only is taxable. A bill
is being passed in the present legisla-
ture exempting further such portion of
the income as is invested in taxable
property and rectifying some matters
of detail in the law. There appears to
be no more difficulty in enforcing an in-
come tax there than any other kind of a
tax. 10 those not in its scope such an
eXaction) seems eminently equitable.
