rived from scarcity of currency and
high interest must be stopped by ap-
propriate legislation. Either tax the
incomes derived from this source until,
like the State banks, they are taxed
out of existence, or what is far better,
let the government resume its normal
and proper function and make and dis
tribute all the money needed by the
people in their business transactions.
Gold and silver are just as much com
merciaI commodities as copper, nickel
or paper. If the government wants
them, or either of them for coinage, let
it 20 into the market and buy them at
market rates, just as she does with
copper, nickel and paper, and let no
private person or corporation have the
power to coin money or hoard the
commodity out of which it is made,
thus adding TO or decreasing the sum
needed by the people in their daily
business transactions.
TIL income tax will be more than
sufficient for all the needs of the gov
eminent, whether National, State,
county o: municipal. If in addition to
the incomes spoken of you add the in
comes ofsuch corporations as railroads,
telegraphs, telephone, water, gas, coal,
timber and other privileged corpora
tions and individuals who use the com
mon property of all the people. The
subject widens, but cannot be further
followed now.
In conclusion, the question is put for
your readers to think over and answer.
Whence has the income been derived
that has made multimilliOnaires out of
the Jay Goulds, the Vanderbilts, the
Rockefellers and others of their ilki
They have made brilliant and success,
full runs. Were they made by their
own personal labor with their own bat,
or have they made their money by tax
ing the products of the labor Of others,
and the imposition of tariffs and
charges largely in excess Of all casts of
construction and operation OF their
roads and other instrumentalities
through whi;h they supply the wants
of the people? II the people owned
these instruments could they not and
would they not supply the people at
cost rates or put the surplus net in,
come into the public treasury, thereby
in so much decreasing the burden OF

A PRIVATE CITIZENS VIEW OF
LEGISLATION.

From a private letter to the editor)
When any community sends men to
their capitol to legislate for pGrty, and
not for the interests and prosperity O
their country, they make a sad mis-
take. No man is fit to be a law-make
who is coward enough to neglect hi
duty to the best interests and welfar
Of his country. In party %expedienCy
I am as good, sincere and true a Demo
crat as there is in the entire North
Carolina legislature. Buff an imagined
duty to pGrty required me to give
vote that | knew to be incompatible
with the interest, welfare and genera
prosperity Of my entire State, then
should vote for principle. In mini
cases out of ten the vote would not onl!
result in the good of the State, butalS
of the party. Many of our politician
in the present legislature might lear
an important lesson from Presiden
Cleveland. Instead of catering to tb
sentiment Of vote getting, they ha.
better pay more attention to principle
to duty, and learn the fact that gen
orally follows such courage, that vot
getting will naturally be their reward
The legislature is no place for a maj
who has not the courage of his hones
and conscientious conviction. Tb:
legislature now about to adjourn i
known as strictly a Democratic body
Men who have watched it's work witt
much interest and attention do not el
pect its work to increase the Demo
cratic majority in the next election

NATIONAL BERKSHIRE RECORD
ASSOCIATIONS.

Mr.. EDITOR:-In answer to @ call,
the Berkshire breeders met at Piqua,
Ohio, on March /, 1898, to discuss the
advisability of forming a new Berk-
shire record. O. P. Wolcott, Conover,
Ohio, was selected President. He
called on the breeders to express them
selves, and the general feeling was that
the best thing they could do would be
to organize q new association right
there and then. The feeling was espe
cially strong after the letters from
Berkshire breeders from all parts of
the United States had been read. There
were fifty letters and only one out of
the fifty was opposed to the move.
The following committee was ap.
pointed to draft the constitution and
bylaws: I. N. Barker, ~Thorntown,
Ind. Ike NJ. Wolcott, Conover, Ohio
A. J. Ross, jamestown, Ind.
The committee reported and the re-
port vas adopted section at a time.

The capital stock will be 81, 900,
divided into 100 shares, at so each,
and no breeder can hold more than two
shares of stock.
The rates of recording, etc, we're
placed, as follows, (and they cannot be

to be suspected of readiness to render the
new law farcical. Every presumption
must be in its favor until it gives evil
dence of being weak or corrupt.
A principle should not be nullified be-
cause our means of applying it are only
human. The principle of reform by pun
ishment underlies all prison systems.
We do not send men to prison for venge-
ful purposes, but to restrain them and to
protect society from their assaults.
Whatever will best accomplish such
ends ought to be adopted. The parole
system does precisely that in larger de-
gree than does confinement to the end OF
term and then absolute discharge with
out restraint. That is all there is in 1t.
Let the law have a fair trial. If, after two
years it is found that it works i'll, 1t can
be repealed. Let our contemporaries
put this bit of fact at their elbows for oc-
casional contemplation nowhere has
such a law ever been repealed after once
fairly tried. This is to be simply case

THE Oakland Times is urging upon that
city what the RECoRD-UNIoN has long
pressed upon Sacramento authorities, the
wisdom and economy of providing for
cremation of garbage. We pay now by
monthly levies upon households more
than 1t would cost to build and operate
garbage crematory. The Times well
says, with wrathfulness written over its
article:
The expenditure of $4,000 or S12, 900 for
a garbage crematory would probably appal
the silurians and excite a protest that might
result in riot. 1t is cheaper for the tax
snirker that the poor mans babe should per-
ish than that the mossback should be COM

y INDUSTRIOUS WRONG.

1t is amazing that journal of the char
acter of the Chicago Tribune should per-
init itself to be used, as it has been to deal
foul blow at Sacramento, city that it
has not heretofore at all concerned itself
about, and which we must assume it has
no reason for getting even" with.
In the Tribune for March 10th there ap-
pears a column and quarter article that
has no local significance in Chicago what
ever, or to the clientage of the Tribune.
The article is malicious, false and bitter
assault upon Sacramento on the Capital
removal question, and embraces the in
famous anonymous circular of the fellow
Stipp, which San Jose has itself repudi-
ated as unfair, unclean and worthy of all
reprobation.
The I3ibuHe'S article is supplemented
by approval of the circular and declaration
that it is verify. The infamous libel is
preceded by a long introduction that
reeks with abuse and falsity.
A marked feature of the article is that
it is headed with flaming caption lines.
full-faced letter expressions, indicating
the while thing to be of California
origin. A Chicago editor would have
made his headlines refer to the geo.
graphical locality as a mere matter OF
news introduction. Moreover, the arti-
Gle ali through bears the ear-marks OF
California manufacture; and, besides, it
is not timely, but appears long after the
period of the activities it purports to re-
port, and thus proves its deliberate char
acter.
1t is monstrous that a Chicago journal
claiming to be high-minded and decent
should make this villainous assault
upon a California community, with the
clear intention of injuring it in Eastern
estimation, irrespective of its being the
Capital of California-no other possible
motive can be thought of.
That the Chicago Tribune deliberately
sold its columns for the assault we should
greatly dislike to believe. What influ-
ence then was brought to bear to secure
the publication of the article in a city sc
remote as Chicago and where the Cali
fornia Capital question cannot at all con
cern the people? Why, if not to do
viciously and purposefully injury to the
good name of Sacramento in the Chicago
jurisdiction was such an outrageous
assault made upon this community, anG
why did it receive the Endorsement O.
the Tribune, expressed in language only
used to reflect the spirit of hatred? If be.
hind this libel there was California
motive power, as seems clear from the
face of the article, that influence ought tC
be ferreted out and held up to public
scorn and detestation. In all the history
of journalism we venture to say no sim
liar instance can be found of unprovokeC
assault upon a city from afar on an issu,
wholly local and not of general character
The subject is worthy the attention o
the Citizens Committee, which may
well demand equal space in common
justice to reply to the calumnious assault
Sacramento is always ready to face al
open foe on any proposition-but tn
sssassin's stab in the back no community
can guard against.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres Of
land in the heart of Teha-na County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and SETTLE
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40 80, 120, $50 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, az which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of I've equal an
nGal installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate OF per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over q period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
$500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

forward again the question of garbage
