A law has been passed in Michigan
relieving the owner of mortgaged prop
erty from paving taxes on the amount
mortgaged; this part of the burden be-
ing placed by the same statue on the
money-lender. In passing this law the
Michigan lawmakers, taking warming
from the Massachusetts money-lenders,
inserted clause invalidating all private
contracts requiring the mortgage to pay
these taxes. The experiment in Michi-
gan will be watched with interest The
object of the law is to favor the man
obliged to borrow money, but it cannot
compel the lender to put his money out
on these conditions, and already there
has been much complaint against the
measure in that it drives capital out of
the state where money can be lent to
better advantage. 1t will doubtless re-
,uce the number of mortgages on Michi-
gan property, but whether it will prove
beneficial to the people it is intended to
benefit is another question.

Farming Does Pay sometimes.

"Well, I suppose you have heard a
great many big stories of our wonderful
crop" remarked Hon. Thomas Simpson,
of Winona, "but I have just heard one
which I know is true and which well
indicates the greatness of this years crop
In the grains besides wheat" Mr.. Simp-
son then related to the reporter the his
tory of two Winona boys in South Da-
kota this summer, Withholding the names
OF the young men. Last spring they
rented 5000 acres in South Dakota at
fifty cents an acre and put in crop of
flax. From this farm they obtained
$4,000 bushels Of fax, an average of
little over fifteen bushels to the acre.
Selling this at ninety-five cents per
bushel the young farmers realized $47,-
500. Theif estimated expense was five
dollars per acre, or $4,000, and this, de-
Quoted from the gross receipts, leaves a
profit or $31 500 for one summers work
for two young men. The grain is now

The Farmers Alliance OF Washington
has adopted resolutions recommending
an amendment of the state revenue laws
so as to exempt recorded Indebtedness
from taxation.-SGlenaJ Journal:
The Journal is mistaken. Attorney
General Jones has decided that indcbt-
edness of every kind is exemp pit from tax
alton in the state of Washington, and
the assessors haye made their returns
for the present year in accordance with
this decision. What the alliance did,
and justly too, was to condemn this
species of unequal taxation that lays an
unjust burden on the debtor class and
allows the creditor class 10 go free. The
farmers everywhere throughout the
state of Washington are denouncing the
law which ought to be pointer to those
in this state who are so anxious to sad-
die the same law on our people.

1t is difficult to draw too dark pic
ture of the suffering of the people of
Kansas through the borrowing of money.
The Howard Citizen says that In Elk
county, from January l., 1890, to October
1889, 176 mortgages were foreclosed by
the sheriff average of l416 per month.
Nearly all of these judgements were for
interest only. on the second mortgage
given to secure the payment of the in
terest coupons. These 175 sheriff sales
brought $44 OPS, but as the amount of
the judgements was $134,34S farmers
that have been sold out are worth $685.
$40 less than nothing. Other parts of
Kansas arc too poor to support even
or the settlers would have
borrowed recklessly.

The Consumer Taxed.

Great Britain, though not protective
tariff country, is taxed Notwithstanding.
Its 35,000,000 of people pay as much as
our 65,0O0,000 for national revenue.
The duties and excises are $47s, ,000. 900,
collected on revenue basis, so that the
poor man who consumes tea, coffee, to-
bacco, etc., pays as much as the rich
man, and as the poor outnumber the
rich by 1000 to one, it is easy to see who
pays the British taxes.-Portland T'ele-

The problem in Oregon next year is
going to get two congressman who will
be peoples men. An exchange says !:
"What the country demands is clean,
able man, whose private or public record
shows him to be man of the people,
free from entangling alliances or corpor-
ate influences, and willing to do his
plain duty. Such a man can be elected
in either of the congressional districts,

A Chinese embezzler was recently
caught in Victoria, having fled from San
Francisco with 1000 of other peoples
money. He is held in Victoria for iden-
tification and preliminary examination.
The funny part of it is that the China
men who go from California to testify
against him will have each to pay $50
head money tax to get into Canada,
and once there our restriction act will
not allow them to return.

Recently the Brooklyn Eagle cele-
brated the completion of the first half
century of it's existence. On that occa-
sion was published fac simile of the
first number of the Eagle, issued in 1S41.
Abiding to this, the Rochester Herald
SAYS: "One of the noticeable things N
this reprint is the quotations for bank
notes, which is something of curiosity
in these days when a person scarcely
ever thinks of looking at the name of
the bank of issue that appears on the
national bank currency he handles. In
this list the bills of fourteen banks, in
different parts of the state outside of
New York city were quoted at par. In
mos. other cases the quotations were
from Il to "a Of one per cent. discount.
The bills issued by five Rochester banks
were at % discount, and those of one
bank ut 40 per cent discount. The bills
of Buffalo banks were in particularly
bad odor, those of one bank being quoted
at % per cent, those of four banks at 80
per cent, and of one bank at 40 per
cent discount. Bills of banks in south
ern and western states were from to 8
per cent. discount, with occasional quo
tations of 25, 40 and 80 per cent. discount
and here and there, opposite the name
of the bank, appeared the ominous word
'.failed' A table of this kind ought to
be an impressive object lesson for those
who are advocating the abolishment oi
national banks and return to the sys-
TEN of permitting state banks to issue
circulating notes which would be secured
only as each one of these several states
might elect In the east it mightbe by

There isa vast difference in the conduct
of a man and woman in new clothes
When woman gets now suit she inn
mediately prances down town, and for
hours will walk content0dly along
crowded thoroughfare, receiving fresh
impulses Of Joy every time another wom-
an scans her wardrobe. But mAA is so
differentl He won't put Ga hin new
clothes for the first time until it is dark;
then he goes down town 30 cautiously a.
to almost create the impression that he
is snealdng along
If he sees crowd on = corner he will
clip across the way to avoid them, and
when he goes into his grocery he tries
to get behind as many barrels and boxes
as he can. All the time he is trying his
level best to appear as if the suit was six
roonths old, and all the while realizes
that he is making an Internal failure Of
it. We hope the time will come when
new pants will be so folded by the man
ufacturer that they won't show ridge
along the front of each leg when the
wearer dons them. j. NJ. BAILEY.

aged to blend considerable instruction
