THE hAwKsrE DEMOCRATS.
a Wise Platform Supplemented by Feare
Less and Honest Candidates.

a Wise Platform Supplemented by Feare
less and Honest Candidates.
Mck;nleyism finds no favor at the
hands of the Iowa democracy. Hard
listed farmers have seen the folly OF
taxing their industry for the benefit OF
sugar producers. They have justified
the prediction of the Louisiana planter
who warned his friends in the repub-
lican party that the establishment of
the principle of bounties as the alter
native of tariff taxes would be the
death knell of the protective system.
With reason these democrats of Iowa
have denounced that form of paternal-
ism which has substituted direct for
an indirect bounty. They have learned
what is the tendency of customs taxes
that interfere with the freedom of eX-
change on which depends the pros
perity of the producer. No longer will
the farmers of Iowa give assent to the
proposition that laws must be made for
the enrichment of a class. They have
entered upon a campaign which will be
fought to the end without compromise
with paternalism. They appreciate the
impossibility of giving to the raisers OF
corn and wheat the same advantage al
lowed to other classes, and stand on
| true democratic doctrine when they
assert that what may not be done fol
| all shall not be done for any.
| On such platform they have wisely
placed a candidate who proved his
fearlessness when he challenged the
intrenched republicans of his state on e
platform opposed to the theory of pro
| lection. Gov. Boies has gained strength
by his exemplifcation of the difference
between honest government for the
people and an unbridled patronage o
the monopolists. He has shown th'
| people of his state that under demo
cratic administration it has been posi-
BILE to undo many of the wrongs estab
lished by a continuous republican rule
In the contest thus commenced thu
democrats of Iowa will have the sym
pathy of citizens of the whole country
and such support as may be needed t.
drive to the wall the proponents o
higher taxes and extended tribute. II
them the Times gives loyal greeting
In their triumph the welfare of tn
people will be secured and new reason
for dismay be shown the hosts wh'
have seen their strongholds in the wes
fall before a triumphant democracy

A Land Plank.

The various industrial organizations
of King county, state of Washington,
have formed an industrial league which
has adopted a somewhat rambling plat
form, the second plank of which reads
as follows: I'VE believe that occupancy
and use should be the only title to land,
and that all taxes should be
raised from the land, ire
spective of improvements" This il
very well. hut it is weakened some.

How the Personal Property Tax Works.

How the Personal Property FAX works.
The following item was clipped from
the San Francisco Chronicle of Febru-
airy 81:
Very recently several million dollars
of certificates were received at the sub.
treasury in this city, but they have all
disappeared. The cause OF the sudden
demand for government notes lies In
the fact that on Monday nexvthe state
and municipal assessments Will De
levied. and the banks are anxious to get
rid of their money ION hand. Wlthin
the past week the sub-treasury has re-
ceived over So, 900, 900 in gold from the
banks, giving notes in exchange not
subject to taxation. In round figures
the amount of money which will escape
taxation by this artifice will not be less
than S., 600, ZOO. The state and county
will lose 500, 900 in taxes.
Having been an employee of the asses
sor's office for some years past, and
having had access to all statements
filed, 1 am in position to vouch for the
truthfulness and accuracy of the above
article.
The assessment laws of this state pro-
vide that a sworn statement of all per-
sonal property in ones possession at
twelve o'clock noon on the first Mon
day in March in each year, shall be
made and filed with the assessor of each
county; and every year, at just about
the aforementioned time, all our bank
ing institutions find it convenient, and,
1 dare say, deem it proper and in keep
ing with the principles of good govern
ment, to convert their money into govern
ment notes, and thereby escape taxa
ton. Not only is this practice carried
out by our banking firms, but our large
mercantile houses, wholesale and retail,
consider it to their interest to deposit
in bank all their money on hand, thus
shifting their responsibility and feeling
assured ut the same time that the banks
will not be caught mapping.
While our minis are running to their
full capacity, and placing in circulation
vast amounts of money, yet it is mat
ter of record wide assessors personal
property roll) that the amount of
money on hand" grows beautifully less
yearly.
In striking contrast to this palpable
evasion of the law by the rich, the
poorer and middle classes are forced,
under penalty of the law, to file sworn
statement, setting forth all their earth
ly possessions. and are closely and
rigidly questioned relative to Ae value
of their belongings, and should The as
SCISSOR be in doubt as to the contents OF
an affidavit he forthwith sends his
deputy to summarily and arbitrary as
sess the unfortunate individual. In
this manner is the law indicated.
What bowling farce such system is.

it to be a cultivated farm, for which
she had been offered twenty dollars an

of the labor of others, who have made

IHc Legislative
was introduced by Senator Park, and
provides for the repeal of the special

exempt railroad property from local
taxation. The measure originated with
Mayor .Pingree, of Detroit, soon after
his election, when he called on the peo-
pie of his city to sustain him in fight
he was about to begin which would
compel the railway companies to pay
| just tax on the large amount of land
owned by them, and on which they
paid no taxes. The common council
have stood by the mayor and the

pass a resolution which was ordered

WHAT is THE GRIPs
This Mysterious and Terrible Disease
Carefully Analysed and Described.
What to Do When 1t Comes.

Nearly every physician every scientist and
every sufferer has been asking this great ques-
ton What is the Grip? Some have asserted
that it is a dangerous microbe which comes
into the system, breeds several millions every
second, and soon overruns the body with dis
ease Others have said that we are passing
through a region of star-dust, and that the
minute particles are drawn into the body with
every breath. Whatever it may be- it is certain
that 1t is something within the body which is
fighting with the body to undermine the life
What would common sense dictate in such sn
emergency? Counteract the enemy. Drive IL
from the system Do not trif1e with it, Act
promptly and wisely at the first approach
which you can readily detect. Take something
which can couBteract their deadly influence.
Spirits of some kind are the best thing to take,
and whiskey is preferable to any other kind of
spirit; but 1t should be borne very carefully in
mind that only pure whiskey will have the
effect, and IL should also be remembered that
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey stands at the head
OF all preparations and is the only medicinal
whiskey upon the market Scientists have as
serted this, the doctors have verified it, and
millions of people have proven it beyond
doubt. There are many unscrupulous dealers
who Will assure you that any whiskey will
answer the purpose, but they are wrong, and
are trying to deceive you. In case of Grip you
cannot afford to take any chances, therefore
take that which is beyond question pure,
medicinal and the only valuable whiskey upon
the market

SAN FRANCISCO. MAY 21.-There was no in
crease in receipts of new potatoes this morning.
The demand is such as to keep the market well
cleaned up. Potatoes are dead on the market.
There is good supply of string beans, and
during the past few days prices dropped consid-
erably. Asparagus remains unchanged.
There is no change in the fruit market. The
liveliest movement is in cherries. Arrivals con-
tinue large, butthe market is pretty well cleaned
up each day.
Butter aud eggs firm. Receipts moderate; de-
mand slightly increased.
The movement in dried fruits and mats Is
slight and an improvement is not looked foI
until the new crop arrives.
Receipts of oranges are becoming smaller, but
the market is weak, with a lower tendency.
