TARIFF REFORM.

II was my purpose TO summon Congress in
special session early in the coming Septem-
ber. that we might enter promptly upon tho
work OF tariff reform, which the true inter
ests OF the country clearly demand, that
which so large majority of the people as
shown by their suffrages, desire, expect, and
to the accomplishment of which every effort
of the present Administration is Pledged.
But while tariff reform has lost nothing Of
its immediate and permanent importance,
and must in the near future engage the at
tention of Congress, ii has seemed to me
that the financial condition OF the coun ry
should at once and before all other subjects
be considered by your honorable body.
Learnestly recommend the prompt repeal
Of the provisions OF the act passed July II,
1880, authorizing the purchase Of silver bull
lion, and that other Legislative action may
put beyond all doubt or mistake the inten-
ton and the ability OF the government to
ulhll its pecuniary obligations in money
universally recognized by all civilized
countries.

turn could be used to improve
our town and lessen our taxes.
Again, under the law just passed
in our legislature, we can vote
bonds for twenty years to fifteen
per cent. of the assessed valua-
ton of the town. What is the
result? In a few years when our
assessed valuation will justify it,
we can have city water works, a

houses and graded streets, and
the people who come and locate

Should We Incorporate?

HE question mas beeh duFaiic-
ed by some of our citizens as to
whether it is advisable for Cot
tonwood to incorporate. In or
der to bring this matter before
our people the REPORT would
request that anyone interested in
the subject pro or con give his
opinion through these columns.
AS there is no subject having
two parties that is not subject to
debate and having points on both
sides of the question, we will
open the proposition by giving a
few of the reasons why we should
Immediately incorporate.
In the first place, nearly all
our principal streets require
much work done on them both
in grading and bridging. klng
street, for instance, is disgrace
to town claiming to have pass
ed the majority in years. This
street if properly graded filling
up on the lower side and cutting
the upper-would be credit to
the town. Main street also needs
bridges and grading opposite the
drug store. Broadway should lie
graded so that people coming
from Keuterville will be able to
reach the town on an easy grade.
The spring opposite the drug
store should be curbed up and
more conveniently arranged for
public use. How is all this work
to be accomplished? We will
draw up subscription lists and &c
to A. who owns $4,000 worth OF
property in the town; he gives
$40. B. owns 500 worth and
gives IS. G. owns $4,000 worth
and he says, "Let d. do the
work." and D. can't afford to pay
all the expense as he has just
subscribed for -four mill, giver
for new church, school house
bridge, grading, telephone line
ETC., and doesn't see how he Cal
give any more at present. Wha
is the result? A. and B. have t,
pay for all the improvement
because they have the pubic in
terest at heart, while c., til
heaviest owner and the one mes
benefited, derives the lions shar
OF the profits. Again, we com

the peoples OF Europe have always in
