THE EXECUTION OF KEMMLER.

Reminders execution is by no means
q dead topic and the possibilities anG
probabilities connected with his death
especially as to whether he retained
consciousness after the first shock, are
being widely discussed. One of the
most interesting communications on
the subject recently appeared in the
Omaha Bee from the pen of H. J. Slo.
cum, an expert electrician Of that
place. In New York some time ago
Mr. Slocum received a shock of over
1000 volts and he thus describes it E
"The first sensation was a singing in
my ears and my head felt as though
some terrible power was crushing and
grinding It as Que does an egg shell.
All motion was gone and for the few
seconds OF that time l was conscious
Of anything can remember that en-
dured excruciating agony. AS soon
as the current stopped fell unconsci-
Gus and remained so for thirty.fOur
hours. Upon beginning to recover
my senses the real horror commenced.
Every muscle was strained TO it's high
est tension every atom Of flesh felt like
ones foot asleep, only thousand times
worse, and then It was my prayer to
die. Following this came long per-
iod of sickness in which became par
alyzed for five months. My hand
which had been burned to the bone,
was built up and saved, but the scar
remains on my arm yet, a constant
reminder Of my awful suffering, and
when I consider my own experience,
together with the fact that KemmIer
was secretly buried in the dead of the
night and no one allowed to view his
remains except those sworn to secrecy,
cannot help believing that the rules
governing electricity remained infalli-
BILE in this case and that the poor man |
was not only tortured during the first
Of the current, but I hon.
estly believe the spectators witnessed

however, which has nothing to sus.

TIE SINGLE TAX SCHEME.

With this issue we begin the pub
LEGATION of a series of articles RELATIVE
to the Henry George theory Of taxa
ton, or WHAT is known as the single
tax plan, which contemplates the abo'
lition of all taxes upon labor or the
products of labor-that is to say, the
abolition Of alltaXes save one tax lev
led on the value of land irrespective OF
improvements. II is tax, not on
land, but on the value of land. We
had intended to give, in the beginning
of these articles the single tax plat
form entire, but for want of time must
defer that until next week. 1t is pro-
posed in these articles to discuss the
proposed plan freely and fairly from
standpoint and we hope
that every reader will be benefited and
none injured or displeased by persu-
al of them.

Protection for Farm Products.
American Economist.


Contention that the tariff imposed
on imported agricultural products il
of no avail by way Of protection Il
American farmers will no more stand
the test of facts and figures than mOsl
other assertions Of the industrious at
torneys for free foreign trade.
Under the existing law tariff is
imposed on the principal farm prod
ucts, as follows: Wheat, 20 cents per
bushel corn, oats, barley and ryc,eacll
10 cents; potatoes, 10 cents; live stock
(other than breeding), 20 per cent. on
vaue. The effect OF these charges, ac-
cording to the apostle Of tree. trade,
who never let's slip his opportunity tor
reiterating his creed, is that:
Tariff taxation is not limited to the consumer
OF imported articles, but the duties imposed mp
on such articles permit corresponding increase
In price to be laid upon the domestic products
| Of the same kind.
Every sensible business man, with
the price-list of the different trade cell
tiers before him, can see that this Is not
true; while 1t is fact that the tariff
rates above quoted serve as check to
all influx of foreign grown products
which would, in the absence of such a
barrier, seriously embarrass market
prices in the United States. Foreign
producers pay the tariff OH such Of
these products as they send here, and
hence cannot afford 10 sell them so
cheaply as they could and would sell if
permitted TO bring their products free.
What they thus pay in the way of tar
if goes into the public treasury, and by
so much reduces the amount that 9TH
erwise would be raised from our own
citizens.
But Notwithstanding the fact that
foreign farmers are taxed for the priv
ilege of selling their products in our
markets, they did send here during
the last fiscal year staple farm prod
ucts to the value of nearly $l4, OOO,O 900,
viz. Breadstuffs, 5000, 272; vegeta-
bles, 81, ass, 1854 live animals, $780,
PIT. After paying over two and three
quarter million dollars as tariff, these
were sold in competition with the
products of American farms.
It is with such facts as these that
free trade attorneys should be con-
fronted when dealing with the farmer
for his vote against the policy of pro-
lection for American labor. The
American farmer can no more success
fully compete against the cheap grown
wheat of Russia and India than the
American manufacturer can compete
with his foreign competitor in making
cheap goods. The tariff of 20 cents
per bushel removed, and the price of
American wheat would 60 down, or
foreign grown wheat would be sold in
iis stead. Proof of this lies in the COM
parison Of market quotations from the
centers of Europe and the
United States. And farmers will find
more profit in such comparison than
