Taxing other People.

The Hon. William Mckinley, in his
essay upon taxation at Council Bluns,
SAYS: ssWe will raise the &400, OO0, 600
necessary for the support of our Govern
ment, not by taxing ourselves, but ~
taxing the products of other peoples
seeking market in the United States.
We don't believe in taxing ourselves -
long as we can find somebody else to
tax"
If this proposition is true the gentle.
man must be very obtuse, or he would
recoil in horror at the inherent meanness
of the thing to be done, to say nothing
of the violation of every principle OF
morality embodied in the idea.
Here is the wealthiest and most pros
porous Nation upon the face of the globe
represented by Mckinley as being too
mean, too stingy, too unprincipled to
pay for the support of its own Govern
ment. Here is the country where wages
are the highest, where working men all
have pianos in their houses and carpets
on their floors, and where nature has
placed wealth enough for the support Of
a hundred times the present population,
represented by Mckinley as being SO
unpatriotic as not to be willing to sup
port its own Government, but desirous
of shifting the burden upon the poor,
downtrodden producers of the wornout
and bankrupt Nations of foreign coun-
tries.
If he had said, 81 (Major Mckinley
don't believe in paying any taxes SO long
as can force anybody else to pay my
taxes" he would have been Kissed from
the platform as preaching immortality
and theft.
Can the Nation do with honor what
would be robbery in the indlviduala
The ess sential iniquity of our present
system of taxation is that 1t deadens the
moral sense of the whole people. OF
what use is it for teachers of righteous
ness to proclaim "Thou shalt not steal"
as an essential morality, when Governors
are stumping the country crying out and
sisting upon the equity of this mighty
Nation robbing the people of foreign
countries to pay the expenses OF sup
porting our Government. V.

The funeral of Capt. James Starkey,

Among those in attendance were no.

the younger generation will have to
follow all too soon TO their final home.
The floral wreaths were plentiful
and OF very impressive design. The
leading one was pillow OF white roses
with the inscription Our Father" and
second, of nearly the same flowers,
bore the inscription ''Our Friend" and
was sent as an Offering of the Ramsey
County Junior Pioneers, while third
was floral design sent by lodge of

Saved by Diversified Forming.


The number of foreclosures of farm
mortgages i'll the group of which the
foregoing twenty-five counties are a
part was III 1891 less than One-fOurth of
what they were ten years before. Some
OF these counties, as Mower and Fill
more, up to that time had depended al
most exclusively upon one or two prin-
cipal crops. A LartiaI failure or de-
preston of prices for two or three years
brought much suffering. 1t also forced
many farmers to sell out at a sacrifice,
and many others lost their all by the
foreclosure of the mortgages given to
secure debt. By the change to Il di-
yerSified system of crops great change
for the better began. This change in
VARYING degrees is shown by this record
Of mortgage foreclosures. The same
story is told in different way by the
record of land sales which will be pre-
scented in the series of tables already re-
ferred to.
In marked contrast with these coun-
ties in which the farmers have a system
OF diversified crops, are all the three
other groups in which the other mort
gage foreclosures of the state are ar
ranged. The greatest contrast is pre-
sented by placing the record of the
cities by the side OF the farming cOun-
ties grouped above. One Of the larger
cities of the state shows more foreclOS-
ures than all the counties in group one.
Inc era OF speculation, says the report,
led many people OF small means to buy
land III or near cities, on credit. They
did not have capital on which to base
successful speculation, and hence the
bad result shown by the long list of
foreclosures of acres, lots and blocks in
the three cities OF Duluth, NJ nneapolis
and st. Paul, particularly the latter two.
Ibis same fact is the,eXplanation of the
large number of mortgage foreclosures
IN counties containing timber and min
ing lands and not largely agricultural.
A Gloomy Group.
Then comes the other group of agri-
cultural counties, with no largely di-
verSlfled system OF farming. They have
ilf 1891 from two to ten times. the fore
closures shown iii group one. Polk for
some special reasons makes the poorest
exhibit OF any county in tile state, hay
ing as many both i'll number and the
amount OF DEGREES as tile whole of over
forty counties in group one. With the
exception of Polk 4ioue have teen found
which FOR 1891 present as bad a showing
as Mower and Fillmore i'll 1881. In
other words, even-a bad system OF de-
pendence OH few crops does not bring
the disaster which IL did ten years ago.
In a few days an EXHIBIT Will be pre-
sented of some OF these counties that in
the next ten years must. to gain the
place which they deserve, do as Free
born and Mower have done since 1850,
raise more stock. The Farmers have
money enough to>pay their mortgages
where they have the land fertllized by a
wise system of farming. Debts destroy
and Cypress when bad methods of agri-
culture prevail The statistics, it will
be seen, show prosperity with good
farming andadyersity with the opposite.
