Weaver, Not Cleveland, Defeated
Harrison.

The Democracy did not defeat
the Republican party at the late
Presidential election. 1t was the
Peoples party which did it..
Weaver, not Cleveland, defeated
Harrison. That is to say, if the
Peoples party mad not been in
the field, Harrison would have
beaten Cleveland. If you do
not belive this, examine the re-
turns. You will find in addition
to the four or five States which
the Peoples party wrested from
the Republicans, that in all the
formerlyRepublican states which
the Democrats carried, the Pep
pies party polled a vote which,
added to the Republican vote,
would have easily given them to
the latter party. Now, three
out Of four Peoples party voters
in the Northern States are for
mer Republicans, men who in
the lack Of Third party ticket
would presumably have voted
The Republican in preference to
the Democratic ticket. The infer
ence is that if the Peoples party
had not been in the field Harri-
son would have carried every

sissippi, would have also held

of Bro. Butler anyhow because
he has stood the shot and shell!

friends to back him than he
had when he started into the
fight of reform. We will stand
by him to a man because we
believe him TO be true to the
people who work for an honest
living. We like his stand and
we like to read his paper, and
we will stand by it by sending
subscribers to it rs fast as we
can. Our Alliance is in fine

two last Saturday and voted on
two more for the next meeting.
We meet twice a month and we
never will be disorganized.
Each attack that is made on
the Alliance or it's leaders makes
US just that much stronger. We
have organized debating club

the political questions, and if
necessary to have our campaign
funds ready by the next cleo
ton. For if the Democrats
don't give us the needed relief
this time we will vote another
ticket. We shall see what we
shall see. I see that some of

ance has gone into politics. 1t

An Income Tax.
HON, r. q. WATSON.

This income tax law passed
Congress July I, 1862. 1t did not
90 into effect till 1868.
By its terms all incomes in
excess of $500 and under $Io,-
900 were taxed at 8 per cent,
over $4,000 ats per cent.
This was surely very moder-
ate.
The tax was collected under
the internal revenue system.
From this source the govern
ment collected $2,741,S57 in 18-
63.
For the fiscal year, endingt the
goth of June 1864, it collected
$2o,294,733.
On the grid day of March, IS
50, the act was amended so as to
substitute 5 per cent for 3 pei
cent on the smaller incomes,
and 1Oper cent. for the 5 per
cent upon the large ones, COM
mencing with an income of
$4,000.
Under these acts the govern
ment collected $32,O5O,017.
In 1866 this tax yielded $72,-
9S2,395. In 1867 it yielded $685.
O14,429.
In 1867 the law was amend
ed. The tax was diminished i'll
effect one half. The amendment
also provided that the act was
to expire with the year 1870.
In 1868, Sal, 455,599 was the
sum collected. In 1870 it was
$34,891.S57. On July 14tb, 1870,
the tax was extended one year,
and reduced to 2 IL per cent.
This was repealed by an act
which passed the Senate Janu-
airy Goth, 1871. and the House
on March sd, 1871. The yeas
and nays were not taken in the
House.
Taxes already due before the
repeal OF the act continued to
be collected i'll 1871 and in 1872
aud 1878. The last were not in
till 1877.
The total amount collected
under this very moderate in
come tax was $346,9O6,73S.
Does any one doubt that ii
would now be practical to col
lect enough revenue from this
source to run the government

The reasons why such a tax
would be better than any we
now have are sufficiently obvi.

Noah'S Ark Leads.

They are turning out some large
wooden sailing vessels in our home ship
yards this season Some of them are
four-masters But after all some of the
wooden ships of olden times were larger
even than the steel steamships of the
present day. One of Ptolemy Philo-
pater's carried 4,G10 rowers, 400 sailors
and 5000 soldiers. But this even was
nothing to ship constructed by Hero,
that old Syracuse tyrant. This is re-
ported to have had all the variety of
apartments of palace-banqueting
rooms, galleries. gardens, ishponds (as
if there were not fish enough just out
side), stables. mills and bathrooms. 1t
had eight towers with walls and bull
warks and one machine of war which
threw stone of 300 pounds half mile.
1t seems that there was no port in Sici-
ly capable of containing this vessel in
safety, so Hero had to give it away.
Such vessels as this will compare very
favorably with the leyiathans of the big
ocean steamship companies of the pres
ent day.
If, however. larger ocean steamers yet
appear. as is reported. there will be
nothing to compare with them if we ac-
cept Noah's ark. which still has the lead
as to size.

The truo Nohammedan is enjoined to
prayer iivo times day-namely, first in
the morning before sunrise, ut noon, In
the afternoon before sunset, in the even
ing between sunset and dark, and be-
tween twilight and the first watch, be-
ing the vesper prayer. A sixth prayer
is volunteered by many between the first
watch Of tho night and the dawn of day.
These prayers are simply repetitions of
the laudatoYy ejaculation, "God is
greatw God is powerful~ "God is all
powerful" and are counted by the scru-
pulous on.a string Of beads. They may be
performed at the mosque or any clean
place.
During prayer the eyes are turned to
the Kebla or point of the heavens in the
direction of Mecca, which is indicated in
every mosque by niche called Mehrab,
and externally by the position of min
arets and doors. Even the posture dur
ing prayer is prescribed. The most SOL
emn alteration is bowling the forehead to
the ground. Women are to fold their
hands on their bosoms and not to make
such profound obeisance as the men.
They are to pray gently and not to ac-
company the men to the mosque. In
addressing God worshipers are to be
hNmble, putting aside jewels and costly
apparel. Proolxlyn Eagle.

Ladies' Sleeves and How to Make Them.
The most essential feature of our pres
ent modes is the pre-eminent part which
the sleeves take in the general make up of
a toilette. They constitute the dominant
note, the striuking accessory which COM
pels the attention of the beholder. In
point ofvariety of details, such as draper
les, trimming and ornamentation, they
surpass any other part of the costume.
TO this complication must be added the
further necessity of knowing the histor-
ical origin and ascertaining the style most
suitable to the figure of each individual
wearer. The well-known and popular
Mcdowell Fashion Journals are excellent
guides in this embarrassing perplexity
They have DEVOTED many lessons to on
the different kinds of the prevailing
sleeves and the manner of making them.
These lessons are invaluable. They will
be found in "LaMode dc Paris" in paris
Album of Fashion," and in 1.-The French
Dressmaker, formerly LA Couturiere." y
The former two cost SO. 80 each a year or
35 cents copy. The latter is $500 per
annum or 80 cents copy. ''La Mode"
with its low subscription price of $l.50 a
year or Is cents copy, is aunique publi-
cation of its kind not duplicated in this
country. If you are unable to procure
