makes business and manufacture not

Eyes, think SO; wealth and wages
are both drawn from the land; one is
exchanged for the other, but il
rent begins by taking half of the crop
and an additional tax on every ex-
change. why speculation in rent soon
makes its demands impossible to meet
and capital and labor stop discouraged

E.-Then the farmer can't buy and
the merchant can't sell, the manufac-
turer gets no orders and can't meet his
obligations. Railroad business dwin-

banks burst, money hides itself
xC.-Yes; but the owners soon get re-
conciled to take lower rents, the re-

The Ohio Platform.

The prohibition party of Ohio recog-
nizes God as the source of all just gov
ernment, re-affirms its allegiance to the
national prohibition party, and presents
among other chunks of wisdom, the
following: Tariff should be levied only
as a defense against foreign govern
ments which levy tariffs upon or bar
out our products from their markets.
The residue of means necessary for an
economical administration of the gov
ernment should be raised by an equita-
BILE adjustment of taxation upon the
property and incomes of the people. All
taxable property should be listed for
taxation at it's actual value less any
bona fide Indebtedness of the holder
thereof. A declaration that prohibi-
tion was the dominant issue was voted
down overwhelmingly.
This last reminds me of story Of a
preacher who sent round the hat for
contributions at the close of the SER
vice. He looked when it had been all
round and found nothing in it. 'Thank
God," he said, ''at least I got back my

THE INCOME TAX.
The Danger to the Republic

The question of the extent of exemp-
tions from income tax is. of course, in
timately connected with the subject
and is entitled to careful consideration
But considered as an objection to the
system. it will not, as it is familiarly
said, hold water, for it is so easily
remedied that it ceases to be an objec-
ton.
Taking 5 per cent as the usual re-
turns for property over and above the
taxes and expenses of maintaining it,
the amount of property necessary to
produce the limit of this exemption
would be s10O. 900, and this does in fact
seem to be large amount to practic-
ally exempt; but as one of the evils to
be remedied, and a crying evil at that,
is the dangerous consequences to con-
stitutional liberty and the freedom of
citizens of this commonwealth that are
likely to follow in time the concentra-
tion of wealth and the accumulation
of enormous and excessive fortunes in
the hands of a comparatively few peo-
pie, and as it is the duty of the govern
ment to protect itself as far as possible
from any dangers that are at all likely
to affect the stability or duration of
the republic, it would seem that it
should seriously set about the adop-
ton of a policy to render the acquisi-
ton of dangerous fortunes absolutely
impossible, and perhaps the danger line
is not to be found this side of such linn
itation.
In 1866, nearly $73, 900, 600 were easily
raised in this country from the tax on
incomes, and now with the wealth and
business of the country more than
doubled. we should be able to raise
more than twice that sum, much more
easily since the increase has been more
rapid in the income-producing capital
than at the close of the war Instead
of the increasing diffusion of wealth
among the people in this country, as it
is in England, France and other places,
it is rapidly becoming centralized, and
the larger incomes increase more rap
idly than the small ones. While nearly
one-half of the sum realized from in
come tax in 1866, was realized on in
comes of IS, 900 and over, and was all
raised at and 10 per cent of taxation,
it would seem that now such rates
would produce, even with that exemp-
tion, enough of revenue to supply the
entire necessities of the government
without any other revenue whatever.
There is every ground for the as
sumption that very small tax on the
receipts of all corporations in the
United States, in return for the valu-
able franchises they hold and enjoy as
legislative grants or concessions from
the people, levied exclusively upon
rents, patents, railway telegraph, tel
ephone, gas, and similar franchises.
and few other practical monopolies.
would raise revenues enough, if jul
diciously apportioned and graduated,
to supply all that is needed, in addition
to the internal revenue taxes, to run
this government, if it were economic
ally administered, without the slight
est injury to the corporations them
selves. The moral is too plain to be
pointed out.-Farmers' Union League.

Thinks it Cheaper to Pay in Taxes Than
in Fares and Imposition.

If the last eighteen months have dem
onstrated anything, surely it is that
the city is the only source from which
New York can obtain adequate rapid
transit We respectfully call upon the
real estate exchange to recommence
their labors in behalf of municipal con-
struction. No single body of men have
so great an interest in this matter as
real estate owners, brokers and build
ers, and we believe that the public is in
a very different frame of mind now as
to municipal action from what it was
last spring. The exchange should call
a meeting at once-Real Estate Record
and Guide.
It seems to me that if the city builds
it the most of the cost should be as
sessed upon the adjoining land which
will be raised in value.-W. Jeffery.

Taxes and PanicS.

Capitalist-What do you think causes
all this panic?
Editor of Farmers Paper-Wel1, they
say it is silver, but there was no ques-
ton of silver in 1857 or in 1884, and
other countries seem to have them just
the same as we do, although they have
all sorts of currency.
Capitalist-We have had great panics
in 1887, in 1857, 1878, 1884 and now. in
1898; tolerably regular intervals and all
alike.
Editor-It does not seem reasonable
to attribute each of them here and
abroad to different condition of af-
fairs.
C.-Well, no, since the same kind OF
panics regularly happen everywhere, it
doesn't look much as though they could
all be due to mere accidents; the same
accidents would not happen regularly
at so many places. And if the acci-
dents were different, the results would
be different
E.-There must be some common
cause.
Cit can't be overproduction OF
goods, because the people certainly
need more goods than can be sold
E.-Nor it can't be underconsump-
ton, because the people have to go
bare and hungry for the want of the
things they can't buy.
C.-Yes, the warehouses are full OF
dry goods, which merchants can't sell,
and the people stand shivering and idle
outside them.
Ell think it's lack of work.
C-Well, if it is, why don't the 'un
employed make things for each other?.
Why don't they go to the country and
raise produce?
E.-They can't come up my way. Up
in Cayuga county man can't afford to
buy land to farm.
C.-Interest and taxes eat him up?
Eyes, and freight.
Glow about potatoes and farm
truck?
Eve seen potatoes selling at IL
cents bushel up there.
C.-Well. what can you do about it?
Elf that is the trouble, we might
tax the land SO high that what was not
being used would come into the mar
ket, because it would not pay to hold
it for speculation or whim. That
would reduce the price and get rid OF
most the interest
C.-And we might except improve
ments SO as to reduce the farmers
share of taxes?
E.-How about the freight?
C.-If the speculative value was
knocked out of land near towns and
cities it would be highly cultivated and
the farmer would not be forced to a
distance from his market.
Eve have got away from the cause
Of panics; why does work stop periodi-
ca1ly like that?
C.-Why. for the same reason went
out of Observation-Disclosures it paid better
to sell the tan yard for building sites
than to run it The land gets more
valuable and the rents go up all over

to do business

heart is broken,-if little Fairfax dies
for want of remedies his prideful sister
might have won him,-then l call God
to witness that the sin is on your
head!'
The woman's bosom rose and fell;
words rushing to her lips died upon
them; she heard her own heart beating
thunderous in her throat.
"Come! For the sake of all dear to
you,-cause, mother, brother,-come"'
the man pleaded. "Vile, despica BILE as
I am in your eyes, let me atone in part,
by saving you-and Fairfax"
The sob so close to Carolyn Clay's
lips burst through them. A great joy
cleaned in the deep eyes of the traitor
Virginian; and again-with obsecration
piteous in its meekness-he held out his
hand.
With bowed head, but quick gesture
of dissent, the woman. withdrew her
own, half extended to take it; but she
pointed to the door, without word.
Into the binding drifts of snow,
whirling and eddying now in the colder
wind, passed those two, he carefully
