SPEAKERS

Kentucky is peculiarly fortunate in
having her sons given important public
trusts. She has held the speakership of
the House twenty-siX of the IOI years
that Congress has been in session. Hen
~ Clay was Speaker for fourteen years,
Mr.. John G. Carlisle six years, Mr.. Boyd
four wears and Mr. White two wears.
Many Of the representatives spoken offor
Speaker OF the next House are either from
the State OF were born within the boun-
Diary Of the Commonwealth. Four-Mr.
Mills, Mr.. McMillin, Mr.. Hatch and Mr..
BlOunt-were born in the State. Messrs.
Breckenridge and McCreary, who are can
didates, were born in the State, and have
lived here all their days The members
OF the Fifty-second Congress would not
make a mistake if they selected any OF
the gentlemen 10 preside over the House.
Col. Breckenridge is the best man for the
place. He Is the right man for the place.
He has the GOODNESS and discretion which
viii be needed IN that Congress and
which viii cause a Democratic victory in
'92. Kentucky deserves the honor and
Col. Breckenridge should be given the
place.-Lerington Transcript

A CONTROLLING CAUSE.

The farmer has not been given the
credit he deserves for the recent victory
OF the people. 1t was discussed and de-
bated before the election, as TO what
party would be the more hurt by the
votes Of the farmer, whether in or out
OF the Farmers Alliance. But, mean
while, and doing his own thinking and
making his own conlusions as TO the
effect Of the tariff legislation, and the
policy of permitting the dictation of the
man in the Speakers chair not only to
shape the policy of the late dominant
party, but, what decidedly was Of vital
importance, the legislation Of Congress.
The Constitution vests in each House
Of Congress the right to determine the
election and qualification of its mem
bers. The House had surrendered that
right to the Speaker, and proceeded at
his arbitrary will to unseat the chosen
and seat the defeated candidates.
The farmer at his Preside, in his fields
Of corn, amongst ripening grain, and
cultivating his crop of tobacco observed
and thought Of these things, and with
native shrewdness saw whittier events
were tending. Facts were before him
and he drew his own conclusions. The
farmer is never an anarchist, seldom a
socialist, but a man whose thoughts are
solid though often his speech is home
ly. And when he had reached the right
conclusion, his ballot was cast accord
ingly, and tariff taxes and Capitalization,
and one man power, went down before
the people.
The Democratic party is entitled to
the sutirages Of the farmer, because its
platform is equal rights to all, special
privileges to nOne;" but while that is
true, it is also true, and never was more
clearly shown than in the victory of No
vember, that the farmer has deserved
well Of the Democratic party and the
Democratic leaders, the Democratic
majority in the next House, the party
itself should, by conservative action and
fixedness of patriotic purpose, continue
to deserve and retain the confidence and
support of the farmer, and of the whole
people.-COUington Commonwealth.

any individual. The House of Repre-
sentatives of the Fifty-second Congress
can, by wise, conservative and economi-
cal legislation, do much to open the way
for Democratic victory at that time, and
representatives should think of the
Speakership not as an honor to be con-
ferred, but as great office next in inn
portance to the Presidency, to be ably
and worthily filed. Justice to noble
and faithful Democrats outside Of the
Southern States should also be consider
ed and respected. In choosing Speak
er, as in choosing President, we should
in these times Of supreme importance be
controlled by those considerations which
will benefit the country and the Demo-
cratic party. While will be very CRATE
full and shall feel greatly honored if l
should be elected Speaker, believe it is
not the proper time to seek the Speaker
ship, and will reserve my decision as to
becoming a candidate for Speaker until
about the time Of the meeting OF the
Fifty-second Congress"

A NOVEL METHOD OF TAXATION.

Almost the first difficulty that besets a
people trying TO govern themselves is the
question Of revenue. Where is the mon
ey TO come from? Taxes, the bugbear Of
all nations, also puzzle the Swiss. His
method Of raising them in some OF the
cantons is alike interesting and novel
No official assessment Is made Of proper
". Blanks are distributed TO every
house, 20 be filed in by It's occupants.
The system is known as the progress
i've" tax scale.
A. who owns $1,000 worth of property,
pays taxes only on half Of it; B, who
owns $4,000 worth, pays taxes on eight
tenths Of it; while C, with his 100000
worth OF property, paws taxes on the
whole The result is that c pays not the
proportional twenty-five time the amount
Of AS taxes, but fifty times as much. The
income-tax is managed after a similar
fashion. The rich pay out of all proper
ton to the poorer classes. They proba-
bly, would not change places with the
poor, however, even to save what they
decry as unjust taxation. The plan Is
not always popular one. Leaving every
man TO assess himself has the disadvan-
tage that the rich, with stocks and bonds,
sometimes do not make return Of them.
When a rich Swiss dies, however, the
government control Of his estate quickly
makes amends for all his past misdeeds
in the way Of assessments, and every pen
ny Of taxes held back is now deducted,
together with compound interest and
lnes.-From Switzerland and the

Magazine for November.

young men is often a bar to their success.
They want to make money rapidly and
establish a great house of some kind in
few years. There are exceptional cir
cumstances under which this may be
done, but the general rule is that several
years are required to fully establish a
large trade. There may be no positive
distrust of a young man of good charac-
ter who has just embarked in business,
but before he can command credit and
engage in large dealings he must estab-
fish a good reputation, must show his
qualities not merely of honesty and in
dustry but of foresight and prudence.
The reputation once gained is better
than money capital without the reputa-
ton, and this at least is within the reach
of every earnest boy determined to do
right and willing to work.
Quite recently in one of the large
cities an old mercantile firm that had
been established for over hall a century
and was at one time at the head of all
the wholesale establishments was bought
out-stock, goodwill and fxtures-by
young man who had started a small
store when this firm was at the height Of
its power and business influence. He
did not dream at that time Of competing
with his great neighbOr. He was con-
tent to do the small trade that fell to his
| lot, he attended strictly to business and
exerted himself to please his customers.
Slowly but steadily his business expand
ed. Before many years be became a
rival of the older firm, and then the I'M
expected though natural thing happen
ed. The younger man was more enter
prising and energetic than his neighbOr
who, firing of the struggle after accumu-
lating a large fortune, retired from the
| field. In the business world as in ma
ture there is the period of growth and
| decay. Great business houses may have
fresh blood infused into them and de-
scending from father to son may 90 on
growing beyond the lifetime Of the fOun-
der, corporations give a still longer time
to the period of growth, but decay comes
to all Of them and younger enterprises
displace them. Even the corporations
though Of such long life suffer from the
competition of young rivals that enter
the field with new appliances, fresh
ideas and the vigor and zeal of youth.
! Because the field seems to be occupied is
no reason why the young man OF to-day
should give way to despair or lose in the
| slightest degree confidence in his own
power to succeed. But he must look
forward to the necessity of toiling for a
time to earn the good reputation which
combined with skill and industry shall
give him high place among his fellow
men

CONGRESSMAN McCREARY AND THE
SPEAkERSHIP.

Governor McCreary has returned from
his plantation in the South. In refer
ence to his candidacy for Speaker, he
says:
at is more than one year before the
election of a Speaker, and l tried toavoid
interviews on this subject while was in
the South, but on my return home ]
found letters and dispatches asking if !
would be a candidate, and also referen-
ces in several newspapers to my proba-
bic candidacy. 1t is due TO myself as
well as to my friends that I should say
that am honored by having my name
connected with the Office Of Speaker OF
the United States House Of Representa-
sives. My experience as Speaker Of the
Kentucky House Of Representative fol-
four years, and my service for three
terms as a member of Congress, during
which time / occasionally acted as
Speaker pro TEN, or as Chairman Of the
Committee Of the Whole, have doubtless
caused my name to thus be mentioned.

NOT UNFORTUNATE.

The Georgetown Times thinks it IN
fortunate that H. Cabot Lodge, the au-
thor of the Force Bill, should have been
reelected TO Congress. Why so? Hen
ny Cabot, while no doubt an unpleasant
object, viii serve as a terrible example
to the Democratic party Of the fate of
the man who imagined Americans had
forgotten the legacy intrusted to them by
their fathers. And it will be advantageous
to Henry, himself
He will see an overwhelming Demo-
cratic majority at the converting of the
House a majority which will be able
to suspend rules, to work without rules
if it should desire-as it viii MOTTO fol-
low the fashion of Henry Cabot Lodge
and Reed, his master; powerful enough
to make effectual protest.
But, instead of following the tactics OF
Reed he will see 4 House working I'M
der the constitution, and under rules in
keeping with that constitution and the
laws. He will see no member deprived
Of his seat for partisan OF other purposes
of the majority. He will see the rights
Of the minority respected; and no mem
Der arbitrarily denied recognition.
He will see all these things, and, il
there yet remains any conscience to him,
possibly he may feel stray pang or so,
Of remOrse. And he will see the fat-wit-
ted hurley swash buckler from Maine,
not in the Speakers chair, but on the
floor of the House, the leader Of a scat
tered remnant Of a once powerful and
fraudlently obtained majority.
1t isn't unfortunate that he has been
reelected. 1t is peculiarly fitting that
he should be on hand. He will be a re-
minder that the Republican party en-
dorses the infamous measure which bear
his C0riRgton Commonwealth.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

In its issue of last week The Farmers
Advocate, the official organ of the Farm
ers' Alliance or Peoples party of Kan
sas, has the following to say Of the fu-
ture of the party:
We shall at once commence to mar
shal the hosts Of the people for the con-
flict of 1892. In this great work there
are many prejudices TO overcome. Sec
tional lines must be abOlishd. Interests
which are identical must be brought to-
gether and the combined forces Of the
agricultural and laboring classes must be
consolidated against the forces of the
corporations, mOnOpOlies, trusts, syndi-
Gates and moneyed aristOcrats who have
for years Toasted upon the substance of
the people. When We say these forces
are to be marshaled against the oppress-
ors of the people we do not mean that
the injustice which has characterized
the corporate power of America is to be
returned in kind.
The people simply ask for Justice
that alone, and that, by the eternal, they
will have. The coming contest, there
fore, will not take place between the
Northern and the Southern sections of
our country. The interests Of the peo-
pie of the West and South are identical
and their political forces must be con-
solidated against the power of corporate
greed. We may as well recognize this
fact now as to permit our prejudices to
postpone the day Of its recognition.
The professional politicians of both
parties both North and South, who have
devoted their lives so assidvously to the
promotion of corporate interests, recog-
nize that this union of the two sections
is the great danger that threatens the
power OF monopoly and they therefore
constantly aim to keep alive the pre-
JUDGES that have estranged them only
to prey upon them and to maintain pO-
litical supremacy by their alienation.
1t has been and is the holy mission of
the Farmers Allience to subdue this
sectional prejudice.
1t is full time for this nation to become
united. Did the hosts of the army in
blue face shot and shell to maintain and
perpetuate a more perfect union or to
divide the nation into cOntending sec
tons? If the former let us see to it that
those Of their comrades who survive may
live to see a country redeemed and its
liberties restored.
Down with all sectional lines. Away
with all sectional prejudice. Let the
fires OF patriotism that still burn in the
hearts of the people consume the pre-
JUDGES Of the past. Let one flag float
over us and one spirit so perfectly per
wade our hearts that we shall be able and
willing to stand shoulder to shoulder in
the great army that must make lasting
conquest of the hosts of corporate greeI
that are fattening upon the stolen sub
stance of the people.
