The blessings Of Liberty.

The main reason Tor the rebellion
of the colonies against England wal
that England assumed the right tt
tax the colonies without consulting
them as to the amount of tax to be
levied or the purpose to which tht
tax should be applied. If the colo
nists had submitted to any taxation
without first having been consulted
and such precedent had been estab
Iished, there would have been ne
end to British robbery. And, real
", Washington and Jefferson drew
their swords in defense of the prin
cipe that to the wealth-producer the
wealth belongs, holding that ever
government had Nc right TO siezt
wealth without the consent Of tho
wealth-producer-not even for gov
ernmental purposes.
If the coonists had submitted tc
unlimited taxation, the vast re
sources of America, in course o
time, would have been transferred
to England to fauten the British
crown and English nobility, and tc
be sdNandered in vicious habits OF
useless and wicked wars.
independence having been gained
the first care Of our fathers was to
found a government that would Gin
sure domestic tranquility and secure
the blessings Of liberty"
Now, liberty confers no blessing
apart from possessions or property
Liberty possesses no blessing fol
the tramp or the person in extreme
want, and it's pursuit, under certain
conditions, is as absolutely unat
tainabIe as for the slave or, III 9th
err words, a man may have the form
of liberty and have none of its
blessings.
"Depestic tranquility and The
blessings of liberty" were the OBJ
jects sought to be attained in the
ordaining of the constitution of the
United States.
Home, and all that it implies, sucl
as food, clothing and cultivation o.
the intellect, arc the prime blessings
of liberty.
Had the British government left
colonies free to use the wealth they
produced in the building up of their
country and advancing the masses
along all lines of human thought
and action, there would have beer
no separation and 40 war of indie

Unequal Conditions.

words, the merchant adds taxes to
cost of goods sold, and the CON
sumer Of the goods pays the mer-
chants tax in the increased price
and the professional man is obliged
to charge more for his services to
cover his taxes. Thus, taxes are
indirectly shifted to to the classes
who employ professional men or
patronize merchants The classes,
then, who largely pay the taxes are
laboring people; and particularly
is this true of farmers. The farmer
rot only pays the direct levy on his
land and property, but, indirectly,
he pays the taxes of others in in
creased prices of his purchases.
Now, this would be all right If
the farmer could, in his turn, charge
as much for what he produces as
would cover cost of living, taxes
and interest on investment. This
he is not able to do, because some
other man fixes the price OF his
products without reference to cost.
If the far ner does not obtain cost,
it as surely means bankruptcy for
him as for the merchant who sells
goods below cost. The wages, also,
of employees, in all industrial depart
ments, are fixed by the employers.
The price offered, and that which
employees are obliged to accept, is
not given with a view to securing
living for the employee, but the in
terest of the employer alone is con-
sidered, and the employee may be
paid such price as will not afford a
living.
Sentiment, in certain circles, APP
pears to be on the side. Of the
wealthy. Preachers proclaim from
the pulpit that God wills these IN
fair conditions and when they do,
they LIE, and SANDER the Divine
Being.
Lawmakers deliberately legislate
to make these conditions possible,
and then pirate about the dignity Of
labor.
Syndicates of wealthy men, who
waylay the caravans Of wealth and
rob both the producer and consumer,
pose as benefactcrs Of the working
people.
The great arteries Of commerce
are beset with avaricious vampires,
who bleed industry at every pore.
If the people cry for relief, the
answer is in Pinkerton thugs and
national guard.

From the BrookEun Eaale.

1t is said that when Tom Watson, the
Georgia "snollygoster," heard that bis own
district had gone democratic by 1000 ma
jority, he unsealed the fountains of his
grief aud ''wept like a child" This indi-
Gates that Toms head is as soft as his heart.
He went into the campaign armed, meta
phorlcally speaking, with @ cudgel and a
pair of brass kuuckles. He asked for no
quarter and announced that he would give
none. Wherever he saw a democratic head
that was within his reach he hit it. His
progress through the state was a sort of
gladiatorial pageant. Right and left he
rained his blows. and from the time he en-
tered the canvass until the flush Tom was
spattered with the blood of his victims.
But it was big job he had undertaken
no less than that Of knocking out the
Georgia democracy. So long as the fight
was confined to blows from the stump
and platform, Tom seemed to have things
pretty much his own way. Timid souls
began to fear that it was all up with the
Georgia democracy They had never seen
a jaw sweat 80 freely as Toms, nor heard a
voice 80 full of prophecy and judgment.
The tasks appointed for Hercules were
trifes compared to the labor which this
Georgia 'snollygoster" was about to accom-
pltsh. The whole republican choir united
in an encouraging chorus of go 1t, Tom"
and Tom, cheerful and exultant, responded
You bet I'll get there" 1t was an awful
miscalculation. He had attempted to re-
move the mountain and the mountain fell
on him.
1t violates all the dramatic proprieties of
the situation, however, for Tom TO set up a
bawling over it. OF course it hurts man
for a mountain to fall on him, but when he
deliberately invites the catastrophe aud de-
ports himself like one to whom manglin9
would be mere amusement, the calf act be-
comes an anti-climax, and the world
lameuts the heroic finale which it was en-
titled TO expect There will 9 40 sympathy
aroused by the spectacle of Tom in tears,
only aversion, disappointment and disgust.
He charged into tue field as valorously as
mailed Du Guesclin. and turns out as
chicken-hearted hero as jack Falstaff.
Goodby to you, Tom, and good radiance
of bad rubbish.
