FARMERS AND TAXES.

Cleveland American Union: It re
Quires no grasp of distractions for the
working farmer to see that to abolish
all taxation, save upon the value of
land, would be to his interest, no mat
ter how it might affect larger land
.hOlders. Let the working farmer con
slider how the weight Of indirect taxa
ton falls upon him without his having
power to shift it off upon anyone else;
how it adds to the price of nearly every
thing he has to buy, without adding to
the price of what he has to sell; how it
cOmpelS him to contribute TO the sup
port of government in far greater pro
portion to what he possesses than it
does those who are much richer, and
he will see that by the substitution Of
direct for indirect taxation he would
be largely the gamer. Let him con-
slider further and he will see that he
will be still more largely the gamer if
direct taxation were confined to the
value Of land The land of the work
ing farmer is improved land, and
usually the value of the Improvements
and Of the stock used in cultivating it
bear very high proportion to the value
OF the bare land Now, as all valuable
land is not improved as il that of the
working farlner-as there is much
more of valuable land than of improved
land-tO substitute for the taxation
now levied upon Improvements and
stock, a tax upon the naked value Of
land, irrespective of improvements,
would be manifestly to the advantage
Of the owners of improved land, aud
| especially Of small owners the value of
whose improvements bears a much
higher ratio TO the value Of their land
than Is the case with larger owners,
| and who, as one Of the effects Of treat
ing improvements as a proper subject
! OF taxation, are taxed far more heavily,
even upon the value Of their land, than
are larger owners.
The working farmer has only to look
about him to realize this Near by his
farm of so Or 160 acres he will find
tracts of 500 or /, GOO, or in some places
tens of thousands of acr es of equally
valuable land, upon which the I'M
provements, stock, tools and household
effects are much less in prOport!on
than on his own small farm, or Whlcn
may be totally unimprOved and unused
In the villages he will find acre, half
acre and quarter acre lots, l1nImprovecl
or slightly improved which are mere
valuable than his whole farm. III he

sion three different times, saying if I
am not right some one stand up and
state why and we'n all learn some
thmg. The audience was one of the
most intelligent ever assembled In the
county of Wake. Many Of the most
influential, practical and highly edu
Gated citizens of Wake and adjoining
counties were present and no one
would accept challenge. At the close
of the meeting one well-to-dO farmer
who does not belong to the Alliance,
said that Is the plainest chat that he
ever listened to, and am right there.
PRESIDENT Butler regretted he had not
tune to speak on the Sub-Tr5asury.
The people of this whole section are
very anxious to hear him and we hope

and the crops are all laid by and the

Tie speech OF President Butler has
been productive of the best results.
Good and true men who have been
standing aloof are now joining the

more determined than ever and in a

ever before Mark the prediction.
