taxable wealth of Massachusetts, is
over five times as great per head of
population as that of Illinois. 1t
is explained that land in Illinois is
not assessed at half it's real value,
but on the other hand the safe de-
post vaults of Boston are stuffed
with millions of farm mortgage
bonds and other securities which
are never assessed at all.
Undoubtedly Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and the New England
States generally have good thing
of it under the Mckinley system
If Pennsylvania did not insist ON g
share of the spoil they would be
entirely happy, but they hope in
time to euchre Pennsylvania by
means of the New England Reel

How the Tariff Creates Industries.

When the late President of the
French Republic, M. Theirs, was
reproached for taxing the people to
build up the sugar refneries, he is
reported to have answered: III do
like to see the big chimney smoke"
1t is precisely this feeling that is
constantly appealed to in this coun-
try in support of our system of tax
ing the many to enrich the few.
There is an indefinate idea that
there is something grand, patriotic
and meritorious in the strong in
dustries supported by the tariff that
lifts them above the plain and weak
err and unpretending industries on
whom the burden of their support
is made to fall.
The life of the farmer is one Of
isolation and of almost daily toll.
His work in the main is prosaic; his
surrounding generally unpoetic, and
his home at best comfortable, sell
dom, if ever, splendid and luxurious.
There is little to fascinate the eye
or kindle the fancy. A great man.
ufacturing plant is often the scene
of wonder. Its spacious buildings,
its towering chimneys, its gigantic
engines, the roar and clatter of it's
machinery, its busy operatives-all
these things stir the fancy and fill
us with admiration for one of the
marvels of modern civilization. 1t is
not strange as we gaze on such a
scene and are impressively reminded
that it is creation of the tariff that
we fail to reflect upon the means by
which it was created. Yet there is
nothing new or mysterious about it.
The palaces of royalty, it's parks
and equipages, it's splendor and
magnificence have, in other coun-
tries and in other lands, been Great.
ed in exactly the same way, and
that way is by taxing the masses Of
the people and bestowing those tax.
es upon the privileged few.
The poor peasant delving in the
field, lily clad and lily fed, is not 9
picturesque sight. The royal equi-
page dashing along the neighborine
highway is thing Of beauty. But
it is the labor of the peasant tina,
makes the equipage and its splendor
and the power that gathers from
that labor is the power of taxation
In precisely the same manner every
industry in this Country that cannot
support itself and leans upon thu
tariff for support is the creation o.
taxes gathered from the labor o.
the country. We may be filled
with admiration for its greatness
and almost bewildered by it's mar
velous machinery and Astounding
products, but there is nothing more
wonderful about its creation by
taxes taken by law from the people
than about the splendor Of kine
created by similar taxes OH thu
people.

More than one thousand men are
now at work on the mammoth
Manufactures building for the
Worlds Fair. The force was re-
Gently doubled by order of the
Exposition authorities, who con-
cluded that the contractor was not
making as rapid progress as was de-
sirable. The authorities are deter
mined that all of the buildings
shall be completed in time for dedi-
cation in October, and the public
may be assured that this will be
done. The total number of work
men at Jackson Park now exceeds
1000. 1t will probably be increased
to 10000 or more.
