ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY.

We last week called attention to
the fact that the recent financial panic
was o bankers panic, the direct re-
suit of conspiracy with the admin
istration to bring influence to bear
upon congress for the repeal of the
purchasing clause Of the so-called
Sherman law of 1890. There was no
more occasion for panic at the time
it was precipitated upon the country
than there had been for years before.
There was just as much money in cir
culation as there had been for some
time, there were just as many sgri-
cultural and manufactured commodi-
ties seeking a market, just as many
people in need Of these commodities
for consumption; there was no change
in economic conditions, and no reason
on earth why a panic should have
occurred when it did any more than
that it should have occurred at any
other period during the last five
years. The simple fact is, the few
men who Ohsuncey M. Depew said
could get together and in twenty-four
hours could stop every wheel of COM
merce in the United States, got to-
gether; and they determined that a
panic would aid the administration
in carrying out its policy. The New
York bankers agreed with the secre-
tsry of the treasury to apply the
squeezing process to the south and
west in order to wesn them from
their adherance to the interest of
free silver.
The administration possessed the
power under existing laws to have
relieved the money stringency IN
tWenty-four hours il such relief had
been within the scope Of its purpores
or desires. There are nominslly
$346,OOO,OOOaof greenbacks in circu-
lation and the laws of 1862 and 1863,
which have never been repealed, au-
thorize the issue Of $450,OO0,0O0; so
that without any Legislation whatever
the treasury department might have
issed 100000 in treasury notes
and gwen immediate relief to the
country. Nor would the administra-
ton lack a precedent for such action.
During the panic Of 1873, when the
country was suffering from q money
famine such as now exists, Secretary
Bristow did issue, in accordance with
the provisions Of these very laws, $685.
100000 Of these notes and thereby
afforded q measure OF relief to the
prevailing stringency. The demo
cratic party is therefore confronted
with the fact that the administration
possessed the power to afford relief to
the money stringency and declined
to do it. Instead thereof it entered
snto q conspiracy with New York
bankers for the execution of a policy
that has brought financial ruin tc
millions of American citizens for the
purpose of bringing pressure to bear

land was exceptionally fortunate when
he was first inaugurated. Those who
live in Washington look forward to
the Inauguration ceremonial with
keenest anticipations of pleasure, which
are always-tempered somewhat by
apprehension that the weather may be
bad. President Harrison was inaugu-
rated on a day when the rain was both
heavy and chilly Garfeld's Inaugural
ton took place amid the most unpleas-
ant atmospheric conditions, although
the rain did not fall until evening. The
day was raw and cloudy and those who
were spectators suffered considerably,
especially the company which was per-
mitted to sit upon the platform erected
at the east portico, and upon which the
president stood when he took the oath
and delivered his inaugural.
Perhaps the most trying Inauguration
day was that which occurred on the 4th
of March, 1873 General Grant was
then to take the oath of president for a
second time, and arrangements had been
made for very brilliant military and
civic display. On the evening of the 3D.
of March a bitter cold wave set in, in
creasing in severity during the night, so
that on the morning of the 4th Washing
ton was suffering as it seldom suffers
from cold accompanied by high wind.
1t was as near an approach to blizzard
as the capital has ever experienced The
military suffered very greatly, some of
them were overcome with the cold, and
the cadets from West Point and the
naval academy who were not well pro-
tocted were completely demoralized
some of them suffering from frost bitten
ears and fingers. An immense throng
had gathered in Washington to witness
this ceremonial, but many did not dare
to venture forth and face the cold.
But when Cleveland appeared to take
the oath the sun smiled upon him. The
air was as balmy as it is in Washington
in May. The suggestion of summer was
given by the warmth of the day, by the
songs of the birds, and by the buds, which.
tempted by the warm south winds, were
almost ready to burst into early bios

though May instead of March had come,
but the usual experience is either in

for the citizens of Washington to ap-

such duties as preparing for TIE inau-

lions are that the civic display may e.

The Washington committee has been
in communication with Mr.. Cleveland.
and some of the details of the cere-
mony have been determined. In some
respects these do not differ from those
which have characterized other in

custom, for instance, for the president

either to call in person or to send form

THE roaming of stock among fruit

Important for Merchant.

According to the assessment act OF
Ontario professional man is taxed on
income, q merchant is taxed on capital
Thus, if two men, one professional
man the other a 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 rectifcation.
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 q clerk each
earn seven hundred dollars In q year
the latter has no income tax, while the
former may be assessed on 81 900, s., 600
or s3, 900
The merchants have just ground for
complaint at this inequality. No won
der the small storekeeper has to 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 le2isla-
ture should never discriminate. 1t is
quite in order now for the merchants
to 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.

SCOT FOR PLANTS.

One of the Most Valuable Fertilizers
Known to Science.
There are few chemical manures
which are so valuable as SCOT, and this
is easily procured from chimneys with
a long handled brush. 1t is best used
In liquid form. and for this purpose
can be prepared as follows: Place
pound of SCOT in a square bit of rough
saciSing and tie it up securely with
string, yet allowing the SCOT room to
be moved about inside the canvas. This
bag should be dipped into a large pan
of rain water and allowed to soak for
twenty-four hours. The black water
surrounding the bag is then ready for
use, but will require diluting if at all
thick More water can be added as
used and the bag pressed with a stick.
as necessary, until the SCOT is gone. A
writer in Farm and Home says that SCOT
water is the best fertilizer for pot
plants, as it does not made the soil
foul, and also destroys all worms and
insects; but it must not be used toe
thick or the surface soil may become
too hard and dry. Moderate applica-
tious once or twice a week for plants
in full growth will be found most ben.
eficial to them. Pure SCOT may be
mixed with twice its bulk of fine dry
soil and used as q top dressing; it is
not safe to use it alone, as it may in
lure the plant, being extremely sIrong,
but when thus mixed it will prove of
great benefit to all garden crops

The Taxation of Farmers.

To the Editors OF The Christian Union:
In review of "Who Pays Youl
Taxes?' in your issue of November 26,
You do the Tax Reform association an
injustice, and perhaps an injury, which
1 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
I know, not five 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 tree is tapped each branch is
drawn upon for its due proportion of
sap, is a good one. The equalized as
sessed valuation of all real estate in the
state of New York for 1899 is IS, 397,-
234. .679, say three thousand four hum
dred millions OF this New York city
and Kings county (which latter is prac-
tically Brooklyn) have 81, 937. rs, CTS, say
two thousand millions, or q good deal
more than half.
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.-Secretary New
York Tax Reform Association.
We were in error when we judged the
views of the Tax Reform association by
those of its ablest writer's The associ-
alton is indorsed 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

A Little Tact,

Oae of the last important measures OF
the commonwealth of Massachusetts,,
before Maine was made state, was to
negotiate with the Penobscot Indians
for the purchase of their rights in .
large tract of forest land. and some very
eminent gentlemen were selected to
carry out the bargain. After the sign
ing of the deed with all due formality
by the assembled Sage riores at Bangor
it was necessary for them to 'tacknowl-
edge it." as the legal phrase is One of
the stately commissioners held up the
paper and asked .if they acknowledged
it to be their free act and deed" The
result was the red men gathered their
blankets around them and relapsed into
q state of stoical indifference, giving no
sign of reply. Gen. Blake, who was
present, had much to do with the In
dians. and saw at once they did not un-
derstand what the formaiity required
