price then fell to Al cents. Take Of
the rest Of the duty and it would fall to
81 cents, or less.
But tariffs, either protective or rev.
enue, are only one species of taxation
that enhance prices. A tax on mer,
chants or manufacturers stock Of
goods. or on his plant, is not tax on
him: he shifts it to his customer in
increased price of goods, and the con
sumer Of the goods finally pays it. The
same is true of license taxes Of all
forms of internal revenue taxes.
There is but ono thing to do that
will secure the relief that such exemp.
tons would give: that is, to impose a
direct tax on the various States and
territories, to be collected through the
assessment Of the lands therein. regard
less of the Improvements thereon.
II this be done. taxes will be taken
of OF consumers (mainly farmers and
laborer-) and put upon land monopolists.
IL is right that this should be done. be-
cause the value of land is produced
not by the owner of it, but by the whole
people and they have right to take
for their own use any part of the value
they produce. Such tax would be
collected almost altogether from cities
and towns, where the value Of land is
high, and but little Of it would be col.
lected from farm lands really used as
such, as farms apart from their improve.
msnts have very little value. For
instance; Land at the corner of Broad
way and Wall streets, New York city,
is worth SIG, 100000 an acre The inn
provements thereon are worth but a
few hundred thousand dollars, or but a
very small percentage Of the total land
value. There is not county 10 the
United States in which the value of all
its agricultural lands is more than a
small fraction Of the value of that acre
and the improvements on the farms
constitute the greater part of thell
value.
The passage Of such a bill would
necessltate the exemption of commod
tiles from taxation in order to reduc,
revenue, and thus the real interests o.
all farmers would be benefited. Espec
tally would it benefit tenant farmers

NOTES ON NURSING.
Pouitices.

Many persons have very indefinite
ideas about making and applying poul-
tees. and may be glad of a few hints
on the subject.
In the first place it is Of the utmost
Importance that poultices should be
we'll made and properly applied. Lin
seed meal is, perhaps, the most largely
used. You must first have the patient
quite ready, though well covered up
with no unnecessary exposure.
Scald your basin, by pouring little
boiling water into it Then pour suffi-
Gent boiling water into the basin, and
shake the linseed lightly in with one
hand, with the other stir briskly until
you have them well mixed do not let
any Jumps remain or the poultice will
not do its work effectually. These can
be avoided by putting the water first
into the basin, and by stirring in the
meal with large knife or spatula.
Spread the linseed meal on the linen
already prepared. and which must be
about half an inch larger, in length
and breadth, than the size you want
to make your poultice; when spread
turn the edge over neatly on all sides,
and, if properly made. you could throw
it up to the ceiling and it would not
fall to pieces.
1t should not exceed quarter of an
inch in thickness, unless specially
ordered thicker by the doctor, and must
be large enough to cover the whole OF
the infamed part. It should be made
very quickly, and care should be taken
that no wind should blow upon it, or
the result will be almost cold poultics,
which may do more harm than coed,
and in cases OF pneumonia, Inflammation
of the lungs. pleurisy and pericarditis.
the result may be most disastrous.
On the top OF the poultico should be
laid large sheet of absorbent or cotton
wool. When the pouItice is removed
always wipe the skin. then cover the
part With u piece of dry and warm
cotton wool.
Bread poultices are moro seldom
used. The above rules should be
adopted, except that when scalded and
mixed. the water must be drained off;
do not press the bread. but take it out
lightly and spread it.
Yeast poa,tices are made by boiling
flour and yeast together, one ounce of
yeast to a pound Of flour, laying on
linen and applying.
Bran poultices are very often required,
and are useful lamentations. A bag
should be made of linen or aanpei The
size required, the bran put loosely IN,
the open end run up, and boiling water
should be poured upon it until it is
thoroughly moist, then it is to be wrung
out in q course towel aud applied as
directed.
Simple lamentations are very useful
and often had recourse to. 1t is of the
utmost importance that they should be
properly applied. I have seen people,
