DOVER, Feb. 2T.-The farmers OF Ksut
county, like their brethren of New
Castle, are inst now nightly stirred up
over the question OF local taxation, They
nave seen taxes creep up and tho values
Of farm lands and farm pro iuots drop
down. They have seen the expenses OF
their county government nearly double
In tho last 15 years, with no appreoiable
reason for such decided increase. They
have seen their levy court pay tho sheriff
Of the oounty 81 cents per day for the
board of tramps aud prisoners while at
the same timo corn wns selling OF 50
cents per bushel and wheat mot bringing
enough to pay for the cost of growing.
They saw this uuerring increase Of tax
able burdens following closely upon the
decrease Of remunerAtivo returns for
farm work, until they became convinced
thst something ought TO be done, and 80,
yesterday afternoon, through the Farmers
Institute of Kent county, they held .
meeting in Dover to consider the grave
problem and agrea upon the best meas
urea of relief.
The inst!tute convened in session at

ment would give a better service at
SIS, eco less cost per gear, while with a
fair adjustment of the burden OF taxation
the farmers would pey bat one-hslf of

VOTE FOR Low TAXES.
The thing for the farmers to do, In
Jacob q. Browns opinion, was to resolve
to vote for no candidate, no matter on
what ticket hs might stand, who will not
pledge himself TO advocate lower taxes
and the relief OF the farmers.
AGAINST TRUSTS ARD FUTURES.
e. FL. Bancroft offered resolution en-
dorsing the resolution offered in the

formation of trusts and dealing in futures.
TARIFF THE BASIS OF TRUSTS.
~ think" said MIR. Brothers, 'that
the tariff ia the rock bottom OF all trusts" +"
This Rev. MIR. Willis doubted the ed
viaability OF adopting such resolution,
although he expressed himself as radi-
