WHY WILL YOU SUFFER

If you are nervous, i'll at ease,
sick, tormented with strange fancies
and worried over trifles, it is a sign
that you are in the agonies of indi-
gestion. If this be the fact, get a
box of the Laxative Gum Drops at
once. These gum drops are mild
and gentle, they are not violent
cathartic; but they will cure the
worst case Of indigestion. They
are especially good for ladies, regu-
lating the indigestion, correcting
any irregularities and giving the
complexion that clear tint, that only
accompanies perfect health. If
your druggist does not keep them,
send to the SYLVAN REMEDY

TAXATION IN TORONTO.

sta-.at:oa of Busincss Called Up the
Questiou-The People VIII Vote On 1t.
TORONTO, Cam, Dec. 2-The harmful
results of land booms in this and other
Canadian cities is calling attention
anew to the question of civic taxation
and the mode of levying it At present
Toronto is suffering very severely from
the collapse of the greatest boom known
in Canada since the Winnipeg collapse
in 1882. Many worlzmen have left the
city and the population is either sta
tionary or retrograding. While the un-
fortunate land spectators feel the
change very keenly, all other classes
are suffering as well. The builders,
many Of whom have vacant houses on
their hands, are under pressure,
which in many cases proves COM
mercially fatal The complaints
against taxation are strong and
are made by all classes In the
hope of restoring the prosperity of the
city, exemption from taxation is offered
to outside manufacturers. But this Of
fer has aroused both laboring men and
business men of all classes, and they in
sist that there shall be no discrimina-
ton against them. A change in the as
sessment law of the province will be
needed in order to enable the city coun-
ell to exempt labor products and con-
fine taxation to land values. 1t is pro-
posed to submit this question to the
electors at the election for the city
council in January:
Are you in favor of the legislature
granting to- municipal councils the
power to reduce or abolish taxation on
all personal property, including iner-
chandise and income as we'll as machin-
cry, and the power to reduce or abolish
taxation on buildings and their inn
provements?"
A majority of the members of the
city council are pledged in favor of SUBJ
hitting the question to the people, and
Mayor Fleming also supports it. 1t is
thus practically certain that the ques-
ton will go to the people.

Expected Repor. on Taxation.

The legislative joint committee to
make inquiry relative to the subject Of
taxation is expected to be ready to re-
port at the meeting of the incoming
legislature. Its professed aim is to more
equitably distribute the burdens Of
taxation, which can not be done by
multiplying the avenues therefor, al
though this is the policy most likely to
be hit upon by shallow and Iemagogical
politicians, more anxious to tickle their
constituents than to fathom the true
principles of taxation. We hope the
members of this committee are excep-
tionally equipped in this respect, and
will demonstrate craftsmanship instead
of shallowness in their report
To make a practical advance in the
path of reform, the committeeman must
recommend simplicity and straightfor-
wardness instead of that completely
which it willrequire inquisitorial meth
DDS to enforce. The best thing in our
Judgment for the committee to do is to
advise the abolition of the personal
property tax and the concentration of
the burden upon realty. This is the
fairest tax at present practicable, and
in its ramifications will more equitably
and inevitably reach all classes than
any other that can be devised. Il
strikes at the very root of all property,
and derives tribute with approximate
equality from eve ~ branch OF wealth.
The committee will be measured by
its fruits. The members can not de-
wise any cheap, claptrap methods, which
afford new and odious means of gath
ering the revenues of state, without
bringing themselves into contempt in
the eyes of all intelligent students of
political economy.
A great principle is involved in taxa
ton. That principle is to give value
received in protection to property for
the assessments enforced. The form of
property that best adjusts itself to tax
alton, and can compel tribute from
every variety of wealth, is realty
Land is Indispensable. All humanity
depends upon its fruitage. Every one
who hires dwelling or place of bust
ness helps to pay taxes There is no
escape from it. And with the enforce
ment of reasonable economies in adj
taxes could be concen-
trated on real estate without increasing
its burdens. Troy IN. W Press

Our. readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the scien-
lists and hygienists as to the relative
value of the various baking powders. A
careful sitting of the evidence leaves no
doubt as to the superiority of the Royal
Baking Powder in purity, wholesome
ness and strength, from scientific
standpoint. An opinion, however, that
will have perhaps greater influence
with our practical housekeepers, is that
given by Marion Harland, the we'll
known and popular writer, upon mat
tiers pertaining to the science of domes-
tic economy, of housekeeping, and of
home cooking. In letter Published in
the Philadelphia Ladies' Home Journal,
this writer says:
II regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and III the
market, SO far as have any experience
in the use of such compounds. Since the
introduction of it into my kitchen, I
have used no other in making biscuits,
cakes, etc., and have entirely discarded
for such purposes the homemade COM
bination of one-third soda, two-thirds
cream of tartar
Every box has been in perfect condi-
ton when it came into my hands, apd
the contents have given complete satis-
faction 1t is an act of simple justice,
and also pleasure, to recommend it

The Taxation of Farmers.

To the Editors OF The Christian Union:
In a review of "Who Pays Your
Taxes?" in your issue of November 20,
you do the Tax Reform association an
injustice, and perhaps an injury, which
/ hope you will be at the pains to cor.
rect You stated that ''the association
is composed of men more or less in
sympathy with Mr.. Henry Georges
proposition to impose all taxes on land
value" Such is not the fact. As far as
know, not Eve per cent of those
who support or compose the association
have any sympathy at all with Mr..
Georges proposition.
Further. this being state associa-
ton, our illustration, that when the
trunk of a tree is tapped each branch is
drawn upon for its due proportion vt
sap, is good one. The equalized an
sessed valuation of all real estate in the
state of New York for 1890 is g, 397,-

dred millions OF this New York city

tically BROOKLYN have 81, 937, 779, CTS, say

If you will be at the pains to deduct
the assessments of Albany, Buffalo,
Troy, Binghamton, Elmira, Utica,
Syracuse and other large cities, you will
find that New York farmers, who own
nearly all the area, own nearly none of
the value of real estate.-Sccretary New
York Tax Reform Association.
We were in error when we judged the
views of the Tax Reform association by
those of its ablest writers. The associ-
alton is Endorsed by large number Of
leading business firms which have no
sympathy whatever with Mr. Georges
views, except his belief that the taxa
ton of personal property should be
abandoned. The Christian

According to the assessment act Of
Ontario a professional man is taxed on
income, merchant is taxed on capital.
Thus, if two men, one professional
man the other merchant, earn equal
income, the one. has to pay five. six or
ten times as much tax as the other.
The attention of the legislature has
been called to the unequal taxation,
but has so far made no rectiication.
Worse than this. 1t was enacted at the
last session of the Legislature that all
incomes should be exempted to the ex-
tent of seven hundred dollars, thus
magnifying the inequality between
merchants and professional men. There
fore, If storekeeper and a clerk each
earn seven hundred dollars IN a year
the latter has no income tax, while the
former may be assessed on 81 GOO, 81, 900
or So, 600
The merchants have just ground foa
complaint at this inequality. No won
der the small storekeeper has 10 work
long hours for small profits
It'was all right to exempt incomes
as the legislature did, for incomes
should never be taxed; but the legisla-
ture should never discriminate. It is
quite in order now for the merchants
10 complain and to ask that they should
have relief equivalent to the relief
granted in the case of incomes Let
there be something like equality

than ordinary merit. Stout. solid men,
good batters and brilliant fielders, there
are but few clubs outside Of those VINO

have lacked doing this entire season

IL during the inning come player is for
