the value of personal than real prop.
erty. Land is out of doors where it
can be seen, and Its value readily dis
covered. The hundred forms of per-
sonal property can not be assessed with
any degree Of fairness. The facts are
Just the opposite from what you say.
1t Is real estate values which are nearly
always known, and personal property
which continually changes. For in.
stance: In your township any farmer
can tell you what his neighbor's farm
is worth. But where is the man who
can set down the exact value (,ot cost)
OF the horses, cattle, machinery, furni.
ture, implements grain, etc, on that
farm?
= In the absence of any proof of
your assertion that to levy all taxes on
real estate would ruin the farmers. /
presume you mean that under such
system Of taxes on farm lands would be
increased. On the con trary they would
ce decreased. Personal property PAYS
much larger proportion of the taxes
in the farming districts, than il does in
the cities. The farmers who are in
debt would tie nble to borrow money
at much lower rates of interest
1t capital invested in i.ortgagcs
were freed from taxation. They
would also profit by the stimulus which
trade and manufacturing would receive
by the exemption of all industries from
taxes on the money used in business.
: & The experience of mankind in every
country on earth has shown that it is
impossible to tax all personal property.
Wherever the attempt has been made
the effect has been to make capital
scarcer and dearer, while in the long
run the taxes have always been shifted |
TO the consumer Stock in company |
Is hot property, but merely the paper |
title to real estate in the form of fac |
tories, mines, railroads, etc As the |
latter are taxed where they are
situated, how can you claim that it |
would be just to levy a second tax on
the mere evidence of their ownership? |
You are mistaken in supposing that to
tax personal property would equalize
the burden of taxation. The result
would be to lay more taxes on the
farmers, whose personal property can
be found much easier than that in the
cities
am sorry that you have no better
plan for starting the country on the
road TO prosperity, than to fine by taxa
ton all the producers or owners of
capital. Think it over, and I am sure
you will see that the true way to make
The country rich and prosperous is to
encourage as much as possible the pro-
iuction and investment of wealth.

But you, madam, are charged the same price

Hard To Please.

The Office seekers find Mr.. Cleve-
land a hard man to please. IF the
Congressional delegation agree upon
candidate he is rejected at the
White House as slate aspirant. If
the Congressional delegation do not
agree upon an aspirant the place is
given to some other State on the
ground that the Californians could
not agree. 1t is pretty difficult to
get on the sunny side of a man who
has no sunny side. If any rule were
established the olfice-seeker might
put himself in line with it, but in
the lack of an established rule one
has to do good deal of rapid guess

gent at Washington do not seem to

EDITOR BULLETIN
In the address of Judge Lyman
published in last Saturdays BULLETIN
occurs the following:
"Some say we should look to Eng
land. If she were in the same rela-
tive position as the United States
are to us, we would naturally look
to her. But for native Hawaiians,
should we be annexed to Great Brit
ain, they would be put aside; not
single Hawaiian could hold any posi-
ton in the government or have any
voice iii the management of affairs"
1t would be interesting to know if
Judge Lyman was deliberately slam
dering Great Britain in order to for
ward pet project, or whether he
is determined to forget everything
in British-American colored history
of the days of Lord North, and de-
sires to know nothing of the true
dealings of the British with colored
races in the reign of Victoria. That
he has conveyed false impression
to his Hawaiian auditors at Hilo
will be evident to every travelled
American who has been an observer
at either of the nearest points of
British territory to Hawaii. Take
Canada to begin with. Any Hawai-
ian of good moral character can go
to Canada and after six months
residence become naturalized Brit
isher on payment Of dollar and a
quarter, and be thereby entitled to
the land grants, and all other priv
leges to which an Englishman is
heir. 1t is also a we'll known fact
that the Indians residing within
British America are no trouble to
settlers or the Government.
AS to the natives of New Zealand,
which could furnish the nearest par
rallel as being of the same race, |
fear if | were to quote few Stats
tics as to comparative wealth and
ownership of land with their breth-
rem of Hawaii, | should be accused
of spreading discomfort and fomcnt-
ing a movement for annexation to
Britain. therefore forbear, but
would remind Judge Lyman of one
little circumstance that he might
enquire into. and refer to in his next
address. 1t is this. Who has bcne-
flied Hawaii and in general degree
the Pacific coast trade and the
United States generally, by keeping
a line of steamships going between
Sydney and San Francisco, and
which has benefited American plan
ter and Hawaiian laborer alike, and
promoted travel and trade generally
Has this line of steamships not been
for twenty-five years supported ex.
clusively by the British and colonial
treasures? Let us have some fail
play and little truth.
Equality of civil rights is the
birthright of every Polynesian under
the Union Jack, whether in New
Zealand nr elsewhere, who comes ur
to the requirements of the law il
education and other general condi
tions, and this is irrespective o
whether they bow down to their ole
gods, or to the dkua of the modern
Christian mortgage-monger.

A Glory To Milan.

The following from the Milan, (Tenn.)
Hustler will he IF interest to our readers
as Messrs. Todd & Roper are well known
in this city.
Manufacturers make towns.
Realizing this important fact the peo'
ple of Milan eight years since awoke
from th3ir lethargy F.; tue fires of progress
sion were kindled activity and energy
took the place of stands'llism aud
among other enterprises the shook man
ufacturing firm of T id & Roper was in
duced to locate among ~.
1t was red lie ter day for Milan.
Born hustler, they erected handsome
and commolious buildings, put in the
latest improved machinery and brought
their large force of skilled and unskiIled
lab1r t. form thriving industry.
Their success ha9 been assured from
the start and six days in the week the
factory whistle has sounded and its
tones awakening the echos for miles
around informed the people that work
was its motto.
The enterprise not only gives employ
nenty to large number of regularly
employed hands, but scores of men are
on its pay roll furnishing the enormous
amount of timber required.
When Mes>rs. Todd & Roper realized
that the state of Tennes ee would not be
represented at the great worlds fair
knowing the great benefit to be derived
from an exhibit they prepared the fol-
lowing:
One molasses hogshead, one rum hogs
head, one honey case, one honey shook,
one molasses shook, one rum shook, one
pair rum heads, onepair beer half bar
rel heads, twenty-five red oak slaves for
molas SEES, twenty FIVE white oak slaves
for beer kegs, twenty five rough slaves
in the conditions they came from the
tree.
The exhibit was given a prominent
position in the Forestry building and
not only advertised the entefprsing ex-
hibitors but likewise Milan.
Great was their reward.
Side by side with the famed cooperage
world they triumphantly marched away
with the greatest honor to be attained -
a gold medal for excellence in timber
and preparation.
Great is the firm of Todd Il Roper.
The Hustler tips its tile to them.
