FARMERS AND PROJECTIONS

John G. Carlisle, in the Forum The
American farmer, although he cult
Yates the most fertile soil i'll the world,
and ought to be the most prosperous
member OF the community, is constant
ly engaged in hard struggle to secure
comfortable support for his family, a
moderate education for his children
and to pay his taxes and keen ont of
debt.
This is all he can reasonably hone
to accomplish; in large majority of
cases he fails even to do this, and SOON
Ell OF later Is compelled to sell or mort
gage his land, and reduce his expendi-
lures to the lowest possible figure. He
has paternal government, which has
decided that certain classes of industry
ought 10 be maintained at the public
expense, and for thirty years he has
been taxed for their support: and now
after these favored industries have be-
come rich and powerful, they combine
ana confederate under the names of
trusts, syndicates and pools, and die
tate the terms upon which the people
may procure the necesssaries of life.
and carry on their business.
Under our system of taxation the
farmer is almost without the sembIance
OF power to protect his own interests.
lie manufacturers can foresee with
almost absolute certainty what the
quantity OF their product will be upon
the employment of any given number
u hands, and, therefore, they can com
0lne Whenever they choose to limit pro-
1uctlon and increase prices; but the
farmer S crop depends almost entirely
| upon the character of the season he NAV
nave, and he cannot decide In advance
how much he must plant in order To
furnish supply that will not be in ex-
cess of the demand.
Notwithstanding these and MANY
other disadvantages under which tho
farmer labors, and which no act of com
gress can remove, Senator Cullom
thinks protection has been more bene-
neal TO him than to any one else. and
he refers to 1.-THE great improvement in
the material welfare of the farming and
country people, during the last thirty
or forty years, to justify his opinion.
"All the comfort and general improve
ment" he attributes to protection. 1t
would be far more reasonable to con-
clude that if they had been exempt
from this heavy taxation, and permitted
20 expend their money for the improve
ment of their own property, aud the ed
ucation of their children, there would
be fewer mortgages upon their land
and greater degree of comfort and
prosperity among the farmers and coun-
try people,

TANNING BANKS.

The attorney general of Kansas has
delivered an Important written opinion
in regard to taxation OF national banks.
in answer to an inquiry from the County
attorney of Stafford county. Hereto
fore, national banks in Kansas have
CLAIMED that ifany portion of their cap
ital stock was invested in United States
bonds, they would be entitled TO have
that amount EXEMPT from state and mu.
nicipal taxes. Gen Kellogg holds that
the stockholders of national banks
should be assessed and taxed on the
true value of their shares of stock i'm the
city where the bank is located. The
only portion of the capital stock of a
bank which could be deducted from the
original assessment of the paid up cap
ltal stock of the bank is such portion of
it as may be invested in real estate of
which the bank holds the title in fee
simple, and in such cases the land is as
sessed and taxed as other lands or lots
in the county in which the bank is situ
ated. No deduction can be made from
the original assessment of the CAPITAL
stock of the bank by reason of the fact
that any portion of it may be invested
in United States bonds. 1t is stated
that the claim made by national banks
for deduction on account of investment
in government securities is entertained
somewhat generally throughout the
state. and that in some cases beratof,,a
the capital stock of national banks SO
invested has escaped taxation. The al
torney generals opinion is in accord
ance with the decision of the United
States supremecourt in the case OF Van
Allen vs.. The Assessors. r. Wall, 57s.]

They ask for fayors and are denied by

Farewell, of Illinois, it permeates all
official life.

member, how can l get you the place.
Didn't you hear about my waiting an
hour TO see this consequential SUPER
intendent Porter, only to be informed
after my heels we're cooled that the re-
cepfion hour for congressman was just
over? My hands are tied. The MEM
bers of the cabinet are out of harmony
with the republican members of con-
gress. A few Pecksniffians like Wan
namaker ride everyone IN ignorant reck-
lessness. The cheap cant of civil SER
vice is in the air. The president, bliss
fully unconscious of the existence of
the people who elected him, sits fond
ling that nauseating Baby Mckee, ard
knows not and cares not what has be-
come Of his friends SO long as he and
the other baby are regularly fed He
even pretends to like the civil service
scheme, and thereby he sets the exam
pie for score of other towards in the
party in congress to profess enthusiast
tic affection for it. We who honestly
want it out of the way are unable to
force the issue. The system is a fraud
and humbug and unpopular with the
people, but there are men in congress
actually so selfish that they are pleased
with it because its existence makes an
excuse for the very same gentlemen tall
ing to find places for any of their con-
stituents. They don't care who put
them where they are. They are flock
of miniature HarrisOns, all willing to
grab what they can see, slam the door
and rock the baby to sleep"

renewed acquaintance with the old

and operated in eastern Kansas and
western Missouri, and it was he who

Rats Not the Culprit.

The Lewiston (Me.) Journal tells a
story about West Minot farmer who,
to save barrelful of apples in his eel
lar from the supposed depredations of
rats, set two traps in the barrel. 1t APP
pears, however, that it was female
member of his family who had fond
ness for the fruit. Happening in the
cellar the morning after the farmer had
prepared to bag the rodents, she
started to help herself as usual. On
putting her hand in the barrel she found
herself caught in steel trap. In her
attempt to free her hand she placed the
other one in the barrel, and, as luck
would have it, put it directly into the
Jaws of the other trap. AS there was
no one in the house at the time, her cries
for help were not heard for awhile.
When aid at last arrived the woman had
nearly tainted from pain.
