lnjudicious and Injurious .-.si IS OF taxa
ton all other burdens are bat a feathers
weight Our present system of taxa
ton came down to us from those good
old times when the robber barons of
the Rhine levied toll on passing travel
ers, when the pirates of Tarifa enforced
tribute from all traffic, and the theory
on which they operate is that of the
blackmaiier or the bandit; to take all
that viii enable the victim to live and
bear future exactions. 1t has been well
said and often repeated of this system
of taxation that it lis the art of pluck
ing the goose without making it
squawk." Naturally, from this endeav-
or to tax everything. the working farm
err is the greatest sufferer, for what lit
tie he has is in forms that can not es-
cape the eye of the tax gatherers Hence
abandoned farms and the steady flow of
the bone and sinew of our country
home to cities, where to great extent
it is possible for Industrious men to es-
cape taxes on industry, for thrifty men
to accumulate without disgorging the
greater part of their savings.
When it is remembered that land in
the heart of Philadelphia has sold at
the rate of nearly seven million dollars
per acre. and that it brings prices rum
ming well up into the millions in all Of
our great cities, it can he seen how
greatly farmers would gain by concen-
trating all taxes on real estate and ex-
empting by law all personal property
from taxes, especially if it be remem-
bered that personal property in cities
escapes taxation now in spite of the
law. Bolton HALL

To the Farmers Alliance.

The old proverb runs experience is a
dear teacher. but fools will learn of no
other The writer has worked long
enough On u farm to know that few
farmers are fools. that most of them
have wisdom sufficient to profit by the
experience of others, and to know too
that there is not en- active working
farmer IL all this broad land of ours
who has not grevious cause to lament
the hardness of the times. When
farms in Lancaster county. the garden
spot Of Pennsylvania. will scarcely
bring the cost of their improvements,
and when in the heart of the peach
growing sections of the eastern shore of
Maryland. farms on which natures
choicest gifts have been lavished, leave
but 4 bare living after paying taxes.
when farmers in Kansas burn corn for
lacl, OF coal, and coal miners in Penn
sylvania are half starved for lack of
opportunity to work and buy this very
surplus of corn, it is evident that the
cause and the cure must speedily be
found and applied if we would avert
the consequences that in all ages have
followed such conditions. What then.
can history tell us of the causes that
produced like conditions in the past?
Mahomet Ali laid a tax of so much on
each date tree in Egypt, and the date
trees were cut down Similar taxes sap
ped the strength of the Egyptian
peasantry. and to-day in that valley of
the Nile where the arts and re6nements
fourished when all else was in the
black night of barbarism, we find the
fellahs with life and spirit SO thorough
~ ground out that they meekly wear
the yoke of one foreigner after another
and in abject poverty toll unremittingly
to pay everything save bare living to
the agents of British bondholders-

that crime is hardly factor. It has
pauperized Spain, once the wealthiest
and most powerful nation of Eu-
rope. 1t has pauperized Italy, whose
sons once ruled tine world. It
has driven the canny Scot and the
thrifty German by thousands from
their homes and made lrishmen. in spite
of their love for old Erin, aliens and
wanderers over the whole earth. 1t
breeds pauperism in every civilized
community ON the globe. It is to-day,
in spite of our national resources and
our limitless domain, exhibiting the
same tendencies here that it has pro-
duced at all times and in all places
under the sun since civilization began.

ufacturing establishments of that state
during the year following the passage
of the Mckinley tariff. By resorting
to the pages of discredited pubiica-
ton. made by discredited official. for
figures to sustain his arguments the
president betrays a lack of decency
which will occasion great surprise.
Statistics which it was scarcely per-
missible to employ in a letter to a
political committee accepting a norni-
nation for reelection are certainly out
of place when used in an official COM
munication addressed to the congress of
the United States.
Mr.. Harrison claims, of course. that
the cause of the prosperity which
the nation has enjoyed for thirty years
is to be found solely in the protective
tariff. Il believe" he says, THAT the
protective system has been a mighty
instrument for the development of our
national wealth and in protecting the
homes of our workingmen from the
occasion of want" Now that the peo-
pie have voted to abolish that system
he expects the most disastrous conse-
quences to follow a change of policy.
If, however. it shall turn out that his
foreb odings are unwarranted he can at
ford to be disappointed.
The president recommends that the
republican majority in the senate do
nothing at this session toward reducing
the tariff. but to refer the whole mat
ter to the next congress, which. he in
Inmates, should be convened in extra
session as soon as possible after his
successor comes into Office. He renews
his demand for a force bill in order, as
he sa VS., ito secure free and fair federal
elections" and takes final occasion to

The Pension Business.

According to Secretary of the Treas
ury Foster, and his sources of lnforma-
ton are the best. there will be pen
sion deficiency of $50. 600. 900 to be pro-
vided for by the present congress, and
hereafter to meet the expenditures the
stupendous sum of $3.50. 600. 900 will
have to be provided annually. 1t would
appear from these figures that the pen
sion sharks have SO far overdone the
business as to call for . general over
hauling of the subject by congress
The door has been opened So wide that
thousands of fraudulent pension claims
have been admitted to the exclusion.

A DULL DOCUMENT.
The President still Harps Upon {
of Protection.


OF Protection.
That portion of the presidents mes
sage which is not devoted to a review
of the reports from the several depart
ments of the government is mainly a
laborious and ridiculous argument de-
signed to convince the great majority
of the American people that they did
not know what they were doing when
they voted against the republican
party and the protective tariff thievery.
The very best that may be said OF the
message as q whole is that it is a
powerful enunciation of a cardinal
principle of genuine republicanism
that the people are incapable OF self
government and lack the ability to de-
termiue for themselves what policy Of
government is better calculated to adj
vance their prosperity.
The president draws largely on the
advance sheets of Commissioner Por-
ter's census reports for figures to prove
that the business, wealth and other
material interests of the country have
enormously increased since 1850 He
speaks of this development and prog
ress M though they had not been fully
understood or properly appreciated by
the people who enjoy tho benefits and
blessings which come from them He
cites some estimates on the subject Of
the tin plate industry, submitted by .
special agent of the treasury depart

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest Of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest. sweet
est most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.
