and offered to prove what his paper
had stated, but the opportunity wa,
denied him. Harmon withdrew the
suit and paid the costs.

The Cogmopolitan.

The special arrangement which we
have made with the Cosmopolitan
presents very unusual induceine nts.
That magazine is already recognised
az one Of the most interesting publ
cations OF the day. 1t il seeking sub
scribers everywhere and obtaining
them. The proprietors believe that
the Cosmopolitan has only to be ex-
amined to secure a permanent SUBJ
scriber. That is why we are enabled
to ma Ike very low rate, by which
our readers can obtain the CosMopol-
itan for little more than the cost Of
that journal alone. Just think OF
what the combination means! You
obtain your own home journal at
about the regular price. and have
thrown in magazine which gives
you, in a year, 1886 pages of reading
matter by the ablest writer's OF the
world, including over 1900 pages Of
illustrations that are unsurpassed in
point of interest and execution. Will
it not pay you to send subscription
to this office for the Plain Dealer and
the Cosmopolitan immediately! Re-
member, only $3.50 for the two. The
subscription price Of the magazine Is
$2,40 alone and it il worth It.

The Direct Tax Refund.

The taxes returned to the states un-
der the recent bill returning to the
states the war tax paid will take from
the public treasury about $17, OOO, 900.
This aggregate will be divided among
the states and territories that paid it
to the federal government in the pro-
portion they respectively paid, less
the fees of lobbyists that worked for
the measure. The sum thus taken
from the federal treasury must be re-
turned to it by additional tax levies
of some form and ut the cost of the
taxpayers.
The proportion of this money that
will come to Iowa, less the fees of
lobbyists, will be $3sO,0OO. If that
money did not belong to the federal
government, we don't see by what
sort of logic it can be claimed by the
state. But to return it to its rightful
owners, those who paid it will cost
twice the sum refunded.
The money will not be paid to the
state until after the legislature shall
convene and make provision to re-
linquish all further claim against the
federal government on account of
that tax. But there are the internal
revenue taxes, the stamp taxes, tax
es upon trades and professions and
upon incomes that are as legitimately
the right Of those who paid them as
is this direct tax.
Iowa is said to be out of debt. We
believe however it owes the perma-
nent school fund OF the state as much
as it will obtain from this direct tax
refund. II this is SO, the state legis-
lature should provide for using that
money toward paying off the debt
due the school fund. But if that
debt is already provided for, then
the legislature that accepts of this
money should reduce the tax levy
sufficient to equal the money coming
from this source and make it applica
BILE for the general revenue purpose,
of the state. Howard county farm
ers who were tax payers in the coun
Ity during the war contributed o.
these taxes to that fund. To relieve
them from taxation to the extent o.
this money will be the nearest posi-
BILE approach of its return to those
entitled thereto.
|. In the election Of Representative.
ne 1t fall that matter should have due
consideration.

Railroad Assessment.

The railroad property of Iowa rep
resented by $500, 1000 in stock and
bonds which pay dividends and in
terest on nearly every dollar thereof
Is assessed ut 81, $50, $50. while every
$500, 900, 900 Of farm and business
property, whether paying interest or
dividends is assessed at 500, 600, 600.
The Farmers Alliances Of the state
have presented petitions to the ex-
ecutive council, consisting Of Gov.
Boies, VIM. NJ. Mcfarland, Secy. of
State; James 4. Lyons, Auditor OF
state; and Byron \. Beeson, Treasurer
of state, asking that the railroad as
sessment be upon the same basis as
all other property. The railroads
are assessed Is per cent. while farm
and business property of the state il
assessed at about 40 per cent. of its
value.
The executive council has sent in.
vitations asking the farmers Of Iowa
and its business men: also the rail
roads, to appear at the city of Des
Moines, Oh the 18th instant, to show
why the assessment Of the railroads
should, or should not be increased
The railroads will probably have
John +. Duncombe. n. NJ. Hubbard
w. w. Dodge, and perhaps a dozeI
more of the sharpest attorneys of TIN
state to complicate and obscure tn,
issue. Against this array Of talen
which will strive to earn the 81, 900 t.
$4,000 salary paid them respectively
the farmers will We fear find them
selves out talked and perhaps beaten
It is known in advance that Beesol
and Lyons are in sympathy with tn
corporations, and it was SO known
and proven before their election las
fall. Thus it would seem the farm
ers of Iowa have unwittingly endors
ed the present low assessment Of rail
road property.
The point that the farmers an
their representative should adhere I
is that the railroad property has
rate of 13 per cent. while farm proper
ty is assessed 40 per cent. Farmer
pay high taxes whether profitable o
not. If the railroads are entitled t
a deduction because of their bOnde,
debt, the farmers are likewise entitle,
because Of the mortgages on thei
farms.

Several Sevens,

In ancient times, the number seven

Hebrew temple contained q seven
branched golden candlestick; the
Jews marched seven times around
the walls of Jericho to compass its
fall. The seventh son of the seventh
son was supposed to be gifted with
miraculous powers Of healing. The

part as a holy day. Shakespeare
speaks of the ''seven ages OF man.

The DEBORAH Journal revives the
memory of Hon. Stephen A. Doug
las in the following extract from Q
speech OF his in 1860 in the question
of reciprocity not only with Brazi
but with the people Of the western
hemisphere was urged to form com
mercial alliance. He said
"Such an alliance founded on ma.
terial interests and reciprocal bene.
fits, would permit of peace, good
feeling and perpetual amity between
oil the countries becoming parties to
such confederacy. 1t would put
an end to ambitious schemes of az.
erosion and invasion with view to
conquest and annexation. 1t would
insure the inviolability and integrity
OF the territorial limits of each OF the
allied countries. 1t would make the
American country one country for
all the purposes Of COMMENCEMENT.

If the government had issued its
own Treasury notes instead Of nation
al bank notes would 1t not be as luuch
better of as the national bank notes

much value in dollars for such issue
as there We're dollars issued! And
would not it have saved the interest
on the bonds issued to secure the
national bank notes! And did II get
any value for the issue Of the nation
al bank notes: And il SO what?
