the OPERATION or PRoTEcT,or

TX Op6nNtlON VI. I'M tN&N
A System That Helps tho Rich and OPP
presses the Poor.
At this junctnre mp pops the ancient
protectionist with his claim that under
no circumstances must there be mitiga-
ton of the tariff. Bayne, of Pennsyl-
vania-and Pennsylvania is always
talking protection qnite as loud as Col
orado talks silver-is giving forth rea-
sons, as he views them, for the in
definite retention Of the Mckinley
tariff. On the continent of Europe. he
says, there is a tariff in force every
where, which makes living more ex-
pensive than it is on this side of the
Atlantic. Every chicken and every
head of cabbage that comes into the
city of Paris must first pay duty. and
this entails an additional expense upon
consumers of the necessaries of life.
Certainly. The levy of duty upon
a commodity adds to it's cost to the
consumer. and, that our expenses OF
living may be increased, Mr.. Bayne
would have us stand. through thick
and thin, by McKinleyism. Having as
serted that living is more expensive in
Europe than on this side of the Allan
tic, this Pennsylvania protectionist
proceeds to assert that it is impossible
for any manufacturer In the United
States successfully to compete with
manufacturers of Europe. If we live
cheaper here, as the claim is. we ought
to be in better shape for successful
competition.
The trouble about government pam
aceas for all sorts of trade distresses and
money stringencies lies in the fact that
government has no business in such
field. 1t should confine its operations
to the legitimate purposes of its or
ganization. Mr.. Bayne says that our
cereals are necessity to Europe. II
we demand first-water diamonds in pay
ment Europe would have to furnish
them. There are governments on the
face OF the globe that put a duty upon
exports. They are sunk very low in
the scale of intelligence The coun-
tries which are very little higher in
that scale are those that, abstaining
from making demand for alleged gov
ernment purposes on exports, place
such exactions upon imports whereby
they raise money for government and
compel tribute upon all consumers for
the benefit of a hungry horde of per-
sons who fancy themselves particular
objects of governmental regard be-
cause they are in the business of money
making.
Under a protective tariff we have suf-
fered time and again the direst dis
tress. AS general proposition the
manufacturer has grown rich, but the
wage Garner has not improved his con-
dition. 1t might not be impossible to
say whether trade relations taking
their course, with free commerce, we
should not be able to avoid recurrence
of periods of utter stagnation and dis
treSS.-Chicago Times.

LIVERPOOL.
The Farmers VIII Discuss the Taxa
ton Question.
Open Grange to BE Held and Everyone
Must Come-NOn-TaxatfOn of Per-
sOnAl Property.

The Liverpool Grange, presided over
by r. w. Smith, master, is doing a
good work in that vicinity. Its menu
beers are quite competent even to carry
on the so-called university education
extension movement, Judging by their
questions and at the regular meeting
last Saturday night.
The meeting hall of the grange is in
the third story of brick building, on
the main street, handsomely furnished
and seating some three hundred. Miss
Grace Mcqueen is the secretary; Joseph
Harrison, overseer; r. Fairchild, treas
urer; w. Sears chaplain, and Mrs. r.
W. Smith, lecturer.
Mr.. Potter, of Grange 60, Syracuse.
was present and on invitation Of the
master made brief address on the tax
alton question, in which farmers in
central New York are deeply interested
tempt of this city to impose a tax of $25
on every farmer who sells produce in
the city limits.
Such attempt of the city has produced
a storm of indignation that won't
down until the farmers get at the
bottom of the question and settle upon
some sound and just principle of taxa
ton that will give them fair chance,
to produce, settle and accumulate. Mr..
Potter called attention to the fact that
farmers taxes were annually increasing
while the value of their farms was
decreasing. And the reverse was true
in a measure in great cities. Real
estate was rapidly increasing in value
in Syracusetwhile her taxes on personal
property wis becoming less and less,
Notwithstanding the fact that such
personal property had also annually
increased. In Syracuse with its
100, 600 Inhabitants the assessors had
been able to find but three and one
half millions of personal property
while the death of one man, Edgar
Grouse, showed his possession alone
over four million dollars! Personal
property assessment as carried on
to-day was one of the most stupendous
frauds of the age and the farmers are
the greatest sufferers!
Mr. VIZ know it, but how are we
going to make people and assessors
honest?"
Mr.. Pr don't know as there is a
better way to make them honest than
to take away their opportunities of be-
ing dishonest"
Continuing, Mr.. Potter said: Our sit
uation seems to be this: We are the
owners of farms made up of real estate
and personal property; people of cities,
great monopolies and corporations and
banks and the wealthy generally, by
various devices escape personal prop
erty taxes Not so with the farmer.
His property was easily seen and as
sessed. Now, why not change the law
and confine the taxation to real estate
alone; that will at once relieve the per-
sona1 property strain and make the
evaders honest in spite of themselves.
Inquiries were made by Messrs.
Smith, Weller, Sears and others, when
the Grange decided to have an open
meeting in two weeks and thoroughly
discuss
Resolved, Taxes should be entirely
removed from all personal property"
Mrs. Smith presented an interesting
report, and the Grange adjourned until
Saturday evening, June "a, when all
can attend.-Syracuse Gazette.

The Proposed Tax on Dogs.

While the rural press OF Virginia ~
entering vigorously and intelligently
upon the discussion of the propositions
to place tax on the dogs OF that state
the Post regrets exceedingly that the
Richmond papers evince disposition
to ignore the question and to devote
all Of their editorial space to fippant
and unimportant discussions OF admin.
istration policies, the tariff, Office seek,
ing and the like.
The negligence that calmly contem-
plates the existence of three hundred
thousand untaxed dogs in the state OF
Virginia, and particularly when we
are on the threshold of the mad dog
weather, is an approach to criminal i'm
difference and we are confident that
the advanced thinkers of the grand
old commonwealth will arise in their
might and administer proper rebuke.
This is the peoples cause, and Tho
Post desires it to be understood that it
has enlisted along with the editors OF
the fearless section of the Virginia press
and proposes to remain in the harness
until every canine in Virginia bears
his or her just share of the public bur
den.
It is not contended that the proposed
dog tax can be made prohibitory; but,
like all taxes and tariffs, it viii operate
to materially reduce the domestic out
put and hold down the imports But
above all other considerations is the
revenue feature of the proposed tax. OF
course, it would be unreasonable to ex-
pect that the state could collect one dol
lar annually on each of three hundred
thousand dogs; but, making due allow
ance for the tax dodgers, the cost of
collecting the tax, and other pertinent
incidentals, the state would derive q
handsome revenue and its credit would
be correspondingly enhanced.
Very naturally this proposed tax does
politicians They either ignore it or
else apply the usual demagOgic mode
of argument and draw pictures of the
alleged injustice of imposing tax on
the luxuries of the poor man while
those Of the rich are permitted to go
untouched by the hands of the tax col
lector. Every reform must encounter
the .demagogic politician, but he will
fall into line as soon as he perceives
that the people of Virginia are behind
the movement. AS another incentive
for this reform one has but to look at
the possibilities of Virginia in the wool
growing line. With an honest admin
istration of the proposed law the time
would come when Virginia could wrest
from the hands of the Ohio shepherds
the scepter of random.
Let the Richmond papers come out
boldly into the open and inform ua
where they stand on this question.
whether they are for more rams and
more revenue on the one hand or for
more dogs and more demagogues on
the other. Do they propose to stand
up for more money and more mutton
and consequent prosperity or will they
cling to the puppies and the politiciansa
There is no halfway station on this
road to reform. Post.

CHAPTER ANu-CONTISCED.
Immediately after our engagement
'we were separated. Business called him
home to New York, and mamma and /
returned to Boston. Then fell upon me
the first bitter sorrow of my life. cam

to me-the cruel, cruel story that for
ibade me ever to think of him again! 1
tried to believe it was false, but so fair
an aspect of truth did it wear that 1 was
forced to give it credence. Overwhelmed
with grief, anger and humiliation on
discovering that 1 had been deceived, 1
acted foolishly and hastily, my one
thought being to sever the bond that
had so suddenly grown hateful to me. l
sent the engagement ring back to him
with the simple request to be released
from a promise which was no longer
able to fulfill. Mamma was i'll at the
time-too ill for me to tell her then of
this trouble; and that very day her ply
sician had ordered a sea voyage for her,
as the only means of prolonging her
life. Our arrangements were hurriedly
made, and in two days more we were on
the ocean, bound for the south of
France. This may have been the reason
that no word from Mr.. North ever
reached me; at all events, 1 received no
answer to my message, and could only
infer from his silencs that my release
was granted Internationally.
1--WE remained in France until poor
mammals death last summer; then re-
turned to Boston, at the request OF the
administrators, to remain there until
the estate could be settled. In the
meantime had learned the truth in re-
gard to the rumor that had caused me
to break the engagement, the fatality
that had linked his name falsely and
unjustly to the story of another mans
wrong-doing. / was thankful for his
vindication, even though might never
look upon his face again; and this 1
scarcely expected to do. l saw nothing
of him. heard nothing of him, until, on
the very first day of my visit here, we
met as strangers"
The resolute voice died away here in
something very like a sob. There was
silence for q few moments; then Mrs.
Maynard said, quietly, though with evil
dent emotion:
1T is natural, perhaps, that after the
manner of your dismissal-sudden. per-
-emptory and without any explanation
whatever-Mr. North should now give
you nothing but q strangers greeting.
Remember, he had sufficient occasion
for resentment, being innocent of that
of which you believed him to be guilty,
and perhaps wholly unconscious OF the
supposed fault for which you con-
demned him unheard."
