time in its rays, become SO defective in
their visual organs that they cannot tell
black from white or right from wrong!''
With these rambling reflections North
pursued his way to the Times building,
a large and pretentious granite struc-
ture on one Of the principal business
streets, and but few blocks from the
Clement house.
AS North approached he saw group
of gentlemen standing on the steps of
the building, engaged in a heated and
informal debate on some political ques-
ton. 1t was evident from their vehe-
ment and threatening gestures, their
reckless and eXtravagant expressions
and the uncerenonious freedom with
which contradictions and epithet were
passed to and fro, that there We're some
decided differences of opinion in course
Of ventilation; and, as North passed
calmly through the excited crowd with
a gracious acknowledgement of their
salutaticns, he said to himself:
THE excitement is evidently run
ming high. am fortunate to be out of
the active canvass. Verify, there is no
one SO calm, so peaceful, SO undisturbed
as the blamcless politician who places
himself and is contented to remain in
that haven of security, the han3s Of his
friends
AS he stepped into the elevator Norts
casually inquired of the boy: ''Shall
find Col. Clipper in his Officer.
''Yes, sir" the boy answered; and in
another moment, after a rapid plunge
upward, the elevator was stopped at
the third floor of the building, and the
boy, throwing open the door, looked at
North with SO plain a suggestion in his
expectant face that the latter immedi-
ately acted upon his unspoisen hint.
Finding himself in wide, handsome
ly tiled corridor with sphinx-like Office
doors on either side which gave no clew
to what lay beyond their ground-glass
panels, North was somewhat in doubt
which way to turn; but suddenly the
door directly facing the elevator was
opened and a very tall, portly, hand
some man appeared on the threshold,
with rather less impressive-loolzing
individual, whom he was with much
gracious Misunderstanding and fraternal
patting on the shoulder dismissing
from his presence.
At sight of North these parting cour-
tesies were abruptly suspended.
SIS that you, North?" came in tones
of sonorous greeting from the tall,
portly gentleman, while the other
seized North's hand and wrung it vio-
lently. i've been wondering where
you were. Glad to see You. Come in"
'.Well, good day, Clipper; I'll see you
again tomorrow" said the departing
caller; and, while he made . rush for the
elevator, Col. Clipper, having trans
ferred his hand-shaking to North, drew
him into his private Office and closed
the door.

FARMERS believe in the taxation OF
personal property, and that it must be-
rigidly enforced. They are compelled
to pay it on all such property and de-
mand that the rich, the great capital
lists and the millionaires must be made
to do the same. believing-and rightly,
too-that If this was done their state
taxes, at least, would be materially re-
duccd. But it is impossible to do this
and it is absolutely useless to mako
the attempt. The rich can hide their
personal property, or place it where
the assessor can not reach it. Some is
of such character that the assessor
can not know its value and the owner
can place upon it any value he pleases,
such as goods and merchandise, and
the tax paid on this class of personal
distributed among the people in pro-
portion to what they use, and not in
proportion to what they own.
If the tax on all personal property
was collected in full it would be shifted,
those who pay the tax would reimburse
themselves by charging higher prices,
they would suffer no loss, but an
added burden would be laid on the
farmer and wage-earner. Let MS con-
slider for moment the effect of
the abolition Of the personal prop
erty tax. The sum now raised by
the tax on personality would have Ia
be raised by increasing the tax ON
realty, but those who are now COM
PEELED to pay on both real and personal
would pay less than now. The tax on
the real estate owned by the great
capitalists and millionaires would be
increased, while those who can hide
their personality or make oath that
they have none that is subject to taxa-
tion-as- the two young Gonlds have
lately done-would pay more than now.
Also, rs the great bulk of their wealth
consists in stocks and bonds, repre-
senting railroad interests, mining.
manufacturing and various other in
terests, which can only be carried ON
by the use, in most cases, of valuable
land, the tax on which would be in
creased; their dividends would be less
which would be an indirect tax.
The sure and only way to reach and
tax the personal property Of great cap
italists, millionnires and corpora tiona
is to tax the real estate and franchises.
If all taxes were drawn from ranl
estate and franchises NIL owners Of p3y-
sonal property would be compelled to
bear their share. The moguLs Of WALL
street, the great corporations. the
Gou1ds, Vanderbilts and Astcrs would
be compelled TO contribute larger surns
and bear q greater burden Of taxation.

der the present system, and If applied
to counties populated by strictly farm
ing communities the difference in their
favor would be much greater.
The New York Legislative committee
prepared and recommended the passage
of law whereby mortgages on real
estate shall be taxed for state purposes
half of one per cent. and be exempt
from all local purposes. If such q law
could be enacted in Ohio the result
would undoubtedly benefit the bor-
rover, and place the lender in posi-
ton to known exactly what net income
would be realized. Farmers as a class
are large borrowers on mortgage secur-
tiles, and by this plan OF taxation they
would have the benefit of the COMPETE
ton of our own capitalists with those
of other states who now enjoy the
monopoly of that business. Capitalists
hers could better loan at five per cent.
If rate of half of one per cent. was
the limit, than at six per
cent. with taxes as now applied,
because in the first case the loan would
net four and half per cent, while in
the second only from three to four per
cent. Enterprises are now languishing
in our state because our own capitalists
who know and have confidence in them
can not afford to extend aid in loans
by reason of the high rates of taxation,
while outside capitalists are in most in
stances not sufficiently acquainted
with the merits Of the case to feel war;
