When Gold Lnoks Green.

Gold can be beaten out SO thin that it
allows light to pass through it, in which
case, though it still appears brilliant yell
low by reflected light, it is green as
viewed by transmission: that is, by the
light that passes through it. This curious
effect can easily be observed by laying a
piece of gold leaf upon a plate of glass
and holding it between the eye and the
light, when the gold will appear semi
transparent and of a peculiar leek green

JOHN LIVINGSTONE, President of the
New York Farmers Alliance, who has
just returned from visit to Kansas,
says that in that State the leaders of the
Alliance are half Anarchists and that
the excesses into which they have led
their party have already started new
organization, in line with the Alliance
as it exists in New York, Pennsylvania,
and other conservative States. He pre-
diets that the better class of farmers
who have had anything to do with the
Alliance movement will soon withdraw
from the organization of which Peffer,
Willetts, and Simpson are the leaders,
and form new and improved Farmers
league. Such a result is very likely.
The intemperate and reckless course of
the body which now assumes to repre-
sent all Western farmers is sure to cause
reaction that will probably destroy the
power of the Farmers Alliance, as now
constituted, and may break up the Or
ganization altogether, says the Cleveland
Leader.

THE Supreme Court of the United
States on Monday gave permission to
the British Government to file an appli-
cation for writ of prohibition to pre-
vent the condemnation and sale of the
poacher Sayward, libelled for killing
seals in the Behring Sea. This implies
that the Supreme Court has assumed
appellate jurisdiction from the District
Court of Alaska, but does not imply,
however, that the court will grant the
writ of prohibition when the case comes
for hearing on April 13. The action of
the court is surprise to numerous
statesmen learned in the law, who were
of the opinion that the court did not
have jurisdiction in the case.

When the Sioux go on the warpath
in anything like reasonable weather
they exercise great economy in dress.
They paint their ponies with red and
black paint in crosses. They also wear
their hair loose and flowing, and put
liberal allowance of red and black paint
on their faces. Decorative art prevails
largely in their make up. Bugs, rep
tiles and animals, as nearly as the rude
ly artistic mind OF the Sioux can con-
trive, are painted on their foreheads
and chins, while n cross of red and

THE RAWLINs TAX BILL


NInch has been said during the recent
Farmers Institutes in this county, in
favor of the Rawlins bill, and in agri-
cultural communities the opinion pre-
walls largely that the bill should be
enacted into a law. The Cleveland
Leader, which usually discusses eco
nomic questions with ability and fair
ness, has the following concerning the
proposed measure:
Even were it equitable to impose a tax
on both the raw materials used in man.
ufacturing, and on the same materials
after they are made up, as proposed by
the Rawlins bill now in the Senate of
the Ohio Legislature, it would be very
unwise thing to do. 1t would defeat the
very end it has in view, the increasing
of the amount of taxable property. for
its effect would be to drive many man.
ufacturers out of the State and keep
others from coming in. The gamers
would be the State that refused to adopt
such plan of taxation. Everybody in
Ohio would be a loser. The tax dupli-
cate at the end of the scheme would be
smaller than at the beginning.
But the plan of the bill is not equitable
1t confessedly provides for double taxa
ton, and the only defense for it is that
the farmers are subjected to double
taxation in like manner-on their crops
of grain, for instance, and on the cattle
into which the grain is fed. The analogy
between the two cases is more apparent
than real. Only very small part of the
products that enter into the growth of a
fatted calf, or hog, or steer, is directly
taxed. In some cases it is more, in
others less; but seldom large. To the
extent that the farmer is doubly taxed
in that way, he is unjustly taxed; but
that is no excuse for perpetrating a like
injustice on somebody else. The remedy
should be sought in exempting from
taxation all the taxable products that
enter into the growth of taxable live
stock, very easy thing to do, every
farmer being his own accountant.
For every dollar the State gained
through the adoption of the Rawlins bill
it would lose two in the end, and the loss
WOulQ ldl1 ulOSI Heavily OH IIlc ldTul6IS
of the State. 1t would drive manufact-
urers out of the State, impair the home
market for perishable farm products,
and increase the farmers taxes. The
manufacturers can move away to avoid
onerous taxation, or to locate where
more hospitable treatment is offered.
Many localities have standing offers
agreeing to exempt all manufacturers
from local taxation, the heaviest of all,
to give them free sites, and bonus to
boot. The farms can not be moved.
They must remain, to bear the added
burden of taxes that would inevitably
acrue.
If the Rawlins bill is passed, as we
trust it will not be, its title ought to be
amended so as to read; "a bill to re-
duce the taxable property of the State;
to drive capital out of the State; TO re-
duce the number of workingmen of the
State; to increase the taxes of the
farmers, and everybody else who remains
in the State; and for other like damaging
purposes" Whatever its intent, it is
not, in the interest of the
farmers
