TRUTHS FROM M'KINLEY.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The outlook for the Democratic party
in Ohio is not encouraging, and before
the campaign is over Governor Campbell
will wish he were out of the race. This
year there are several national questions
to face and Campbell's personalities will
not be aided by calan1Cfes SUCH as hap
pened two years ago. Major Mckinley
is telling some great truths to thousands
of people which will take all the wind
out of the Democratic sails. He ad-
dressed ten thousand people at Bowling
Green yesterday, and gave several un-
answerable reasons why the tariff of the
Republican party as represented in his
bill was doing an inestimable amount
of good for the farmer and manufac-
turer.
For illustrations he recited the case of
two farmers, one a Canadian and the
other an American, who disposed of
their wheat at Buffalo, the Canadian
taking home but 80 cents while the
American carried away 100 cents. The
other case was that of captain who
carried rails to Toledo and admitted
that if it were not for the tariff he
could make 2 cents more on his wares.
The duty in each of these instances
came out of the foreigners pockets.
With such unanswerable arguments as
these and many others that are being
made, the Democrats will find that it is
not every cloud that has silver lining.

THE LAST STRAW.

New York Press.
Mr.. Allen W. Thurman has added a
straw to the already broken Democratic
back by pointing out in an interview at
Chicago that the income tax plank will
cut no figure in the campaign, because
the Constitution of Ohio will not allow
the adoption of an income tax. This
might allay the fears of the taxpayers of
Ohio, who are almost unanimous in op-
position to income taxation, but for his
explanation that at the next meeting of

IT is told of Florence, Ind, young
man, who drove his best girl home from

horse to the back gate, and after an af-

never thinking about the horse until the
livery man asked him the next morning
if he he had lost, sold or pawned it.

RECIPROCITY AND THE OPENING OF

MAhhEIO.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Mr.. Blaine thought the Mckinley
tariff bill imperfect as it left the House,
and had some trouble in convincing
everybody that the advanced protection
ist legislation would have to provide for
reciprocity. There were distinguished
Republicans who assimilated his ideas
slowly, but he expressed them clearly
and convincingly, and they were made
part of the bill, and are great feature
and essential part of the law. There is
no Republican in all the land that dis
sents from this. Mr.. Blaine's stateman-
ship was never more luminously before
the people than in this matter. Make
the most of the differences of opinion
that once were remarked and they are
only tribute to his extraordinary
sagacity and the evidence of his safe
and brilliant leadership. But the Dem
ocrats and Mugwumps go chattering
over the ground where Republican con-
troversy has ceased and stick to it, for
no better reason, so far as we can find
out, than that they may evade business
controversies about the things that must
be done and defer as long as practicable
the exposure of their own discordant
conditions. The Republican tariff policy
is plainly defined. 1t is in the Mckinley
law, subject to Republican revision, but
the lines of protection are to be main
tanned and the free list is to be continued
with sugar in it, and the treaties with
Brazil and Spain are to be sustained.
Mr.. Blaine saw to it that there was in
the bill, before it became a law, provis-
ions that would open markets for wheat
and pork, and Democratic tariff reform
policy seems TO consist chiefly in efforts
to steal his thunder. The patent on it
belongs to the Republican party.

TAXATION AMENDMENT.

The question OF equitable ana just
taxation is now a leading problem.
Everyone recognizes the insuffieiency OF
the laws of Ohio on this subject, and
the demand is for laws covering the
many tangible and visible forms of
wealth now wholly exempt. To make
the laws more comprehensive is i'm
possible under the present constitution,
and an amendment must first be made.
The pending amendment on taxation
was formulated with the design of
securing more scope, and the voice of
the people will be heard on this subject.
1t is proposed to tax the valuable rights,
privileges, and franchises owned by
corporations. Some of these are of i'm
mense value, and yet not cent OF
revenue is secured from them in the
way of taxation. With these listed on
the tax duplicate at a fair rate, the
amount of taxable property would be
enormously increased and the rate OF
taxation materially reduced. The bur
den would fall equitably on all. A tax
to be just must bear with like effect on
all members of the community. If
some evade the law, the others pay a
disproportionate amount of the tax.
The taxation of real property, houses,
lots, lands, and the like is the most
perfect method because the property is
visible and can not be concealed. The
taxation of personal property offers
more opportunities for deception, and
how to secure a perfect and complete
return of bonds, mortgages, notes, and
kindred property is puzzling question.
Opportunities for dishonesty in returns
are offered, and men are not slow to
avail themselves of such advantages.
Anything that can be seen or is known
to exist can easily be listed, but not so
of the less tangible forms of wealth.
1t is proposed by the Democracy to.
ta.r Incomes. This country endured an
income tax from 1868 to 1872, and it
gave way before the popular demand
for its repeal. 1t was the most hateful
of the war taxes, of which these same
Democrats complain, yet they would
have it reenacted. By some economists
it is regarded as good form of taxation,
but the fact that it is impossible to
ascertain the amount of mans income,
if he chooses to conceal it, proves fatal
to the plan. In all cases, methods
inquisitorial have to be adopted, and
this is sufficient to condemn it. BY this
method people who are honest pay more
than their proportion in order TO make
up for those who are dishonest An
income tax would perhaps be an ideal
tax could all mems incomes be accurately
known, but in the present state of
society, such tax places premium on
dishonesty. 1t further places tax on
industry and clogs progress. If man
must pay 5 per cent. a year on what he
makes above certain sum, he is paying
compound interest on his thrift. In
war times men did evade the income
tax, and for that reason it became bur-
densome and tyrannical. There is no
disputing that they would do the same
again. Men are made of the same stuff
now as then. With an equitable tax
placed on all the tangible forms of
wealth, the burden in times of peace
would be light, and there would be no
necessity for an inquisitorial tax.

TARIFF PICTURES.

New York Press
The Mckinley bill cut down our i'm
ports of leaf tobacco for the eleven
months, ending May l, from 23,615,967
pounds, in 18S9-90, to 81, ,766,855 pounds
in 1890-91. The protection afforded by
higher duties and by the repeal of the
special internal revenue taxes formerly
imposed on dealers in leaf tobacco has
benefited the American farmer. The
sales of leaf tobacco in Virginia for
July, 1891, were ], 1,492,787 pounde. For
July, 1891, they rose to 3,505, 113 pounds.

Mr.. Mosquito is an easy going, gorge

Turveydrop in the insect world, who
seems to have no higher object during
his brief life than "to show himself

short one, but then it is full of Incidence
and luxury. He is expected to pay GER
tain delicate attentions to his infnitesi-

tired of him by giving him a short,
sharp prod of the remarkable lance
which she carries concealed in her pro-
boscis. He is not provided with such
weapon, and is as much at her mercy as
boxer at that of skilled swordsman
He is of gentle and perhaps amiable
character. He lives on strictly vege-
table diet, which may account for the
absence of the bloodthirsty and feroci-
cious spirit of his spouse.

Tax on Bachelors.

Kate Field.
The Wyoming Legislature has passed
a law taxing bachelors 81 year.
Whether the fact that women vote there
has anything to do with this new de-
parture 1 don't know, but why isn't it a
just tax? Society says to woman, ats
your business to be married as soon
after you have made your debut as
possible. Otherwise you'll be called an
old maid, than which there can be no
epithet more odious. But you can't
choose husband. That would be most
unwomanly. You must wait to be
asked"
The result is that the average woman
takes what offers-not what she wants -
rather than risk her chances on the
future; and men stalk about literally
the lords of creation.
Well, if these lords don't choose to
take upon themselves the responsibilities
of matrimony, why should they not pay
a penalty? Just so long as women are
taunted for living in single blessedness,
just so long ought unmarried men to be
taxed. This tax should begin at the age
of 30, and be doubled every five years,
unless a bachelor proves that he has
been crossed in love or is true to some
Sainted Maria, whose memory is dearer
to him than the smiles of sirens still
alive.
Poverty, perhaps, might be an exten-
Of affa in 4
would be well to make the bachelor
work out his tax in some way useful to
the State, while the victims of blighted
affection could be utilized in charity
organizations.
The more l think this matter over the
more righteous l think the tax. If
rigidly enforced it might relieve the
embargo on women. When the sexes
stand on equal terms it will be in order
TO tax both bachelors and old maids
