How 1t Hits the Ta1-Payers of the Little
City Under the Hill.
Madison Courier.
Under the old law the appraised valua-
ton for taxation of all classes Of property
in the CITY of Madison for the year 1880
was s.. 1882, 4l0. Under the new tax law the
appraisement for 1891 was s4.5s2. $50. an IN
The assessment Of 1880 produced s4s.-
1893 IN taxes. upOn a levy of 2Sha cents by
the State, 20 cents by the county, and "a
cents by the city school trustees.
The appraisement for 1891. under the
new law, produces e49. 476.5 81 IN taxes-an
increase o, er 1890 of q .346. Coon "a levy in
creased 6ls cents by tho State, reduced 10
cents by the County Commissioners. and q
by the city school board.
The States proportion for 1890 was Sl0.-
SO. 81, and for 1891 S16. 930. a. an increase of
S6.3St.l Is. or about GO per cent.
The above figures show that the increase
of state taxes on the property of the city
Of Madison is more than the entire increase
on the duplicate, and that there is an act
nal reduction il the amount of taxation
for local purposes.
And still our Democratic ~neighbcrs say
that the new law does not add to our tax
es. except In Republican counties where
tho Republican boards have refused to re-
dnce the levy to correspond with the in
creased valuation.

CONGRESS should enact a law making
the Australian ballot system obligatory
in all elections for President, V~ice-pres-
ident and Representatives in Congress.
1t is already so in the States which have
adopted the law, but most of the South
ern States have not. In these States
there has not been an honest election
for President and Vice-president for
nearly twenty years, and they have at
this time nearly fifty Senators and Rep
resentatives at Washington who are not
entitled to their seats. This scandalous
and intOlerable state of things should
not be permitted to continue, and the
Republican party should not cease to
agitate for n reform. OF course. no bill
On the subject could be gotten through
this Congress, but the Democrats should
be compelled to make a record. They
pretend To be in favor of honest cleo
tons under the Australian ballot law in
the North. Let them show their hands
OF the question in the South.

In his speech at Providence, a few days

IN MS speech at q rev days
ago Ex-Governor Campbell dwelt at
considerable length on the ~iniQuity OF
the Mckinley law in doubling the duty
on oatmeal. ''Then," he said, before
the ink was dry from President Harri-
sons pen the oatmeal men of the coun-
try formed a trust and pnt up prices"
The Boston Advertiser punctures this
statement by saying:

market quotations. he will have no trop BILE
i'm finding reason for regret that he should
have called attention To this su beet. Two
years ago the market quotations for Oat-
neal were: Fine. $500 leo per bbl.; cut

rent quotations are: Zine. s4.25d4.5O per
Dbl: cut md ground. S4.250 $50 per bbl.n
As to the Oatmeal Trust. any broker could
have told Mr.. Campbell that it was formed
years before the Mckinley bill was passed.
and was In q state of utter collapse when
rho present tariff law went into effect.
Since then it has not shown the slightest
sign of life.
That is about as nea the truth as the
average frce-trader ever gets.

Prices In Paris.

In spite of the talk about the increased
price of everything in Paris because of the
new tariff, l lind dresses are cheaper than
in London. The simple morning gowns Of
crepon, foulard and printed deiaine. in the
making of which Partisan dress-makers
excel, cost about two-thirds what they sell
for in London. What Folk. Douret or

t%ravagance of the Cleveland sentiment.
The violence of the efforts Of those who
have undertaken the job of making q

commensurate with the difficulty of the

The Republicans of Evansville Won a
brilliant victory yesterday, electing
their entire city ticket and a Council OF
the same political faith. Not the least
interesting fact connected with the cleo
ton is the statement that the campaign
was made by Republicans on the high
assessment and increased-tax issue.
The result can, the Journal thinks, be
accepted as a sign, of the times and a
forerunner of what will happen at an
election which will be held early in
November.

THE other day a Southern Democrat,
in lieu of a speech of his own, intro
duced a free-trade article written by
Henry George. He is right; Henry
George believes in a single tax i'm
posed upon land, and naturally is Op-
posed to any revenue raised by a duty
on foreign goods. The Sentinel has

Public Schools I'm Western Cities.

Julian Ralph. in Harpers Magazine
In no city IN the West il there O sign
that public education will not remain the
most costly branch Of government. There
are two ways TO look ut such n con-
dition, but. in my opinion, the two
ways are not what they nre COM
monty supposed to be. One way should
be To look with envy on the rich. who thus
may send their children TO school for eight
years. while the poor. who must put their
little ones TO work Gt tender nges. foot tho
greater part of the cost. The OF her way
might well be 10 commiserate the poor who
are deceived by sentimental clap-trap Into
initiating the common-schooi system in such
n manner that at last their share IN it's
benefits becomes micrOscopic.

Increase OF Wages

In the lining and dress goods mills at
Pawtncket. the wages OF tho men have
been increased 80 cents q day, and those of
of the Mckinley bill, and when the bill
was enacted the looms were wholly idle.
These are facts which make the audiences
laugh when Democratic orators from the

has helped wOrkingmen to higher wages.

expects to be absent three OF four days.
The departure of the President up-

joying splendid health now, but be has
