Shufle-Shoon and ArnberLocks
Sit together building blocks;
Shuttle ShoOn is old and gray
Amber-Locks a little child,
But together at that play
Age and youth are reconciled
And with sympathetic glee
Build their castles fair to see!
When grow to be man."
So the wee ones prattle ran,
Il shall build castle-so
With gateway broad and grand
Here a pretty vine shall grow,
There a soldier guard shall stand;
And the tower shall be so high
Folks will wonder by-and-by!"
Shuffe-Shoon quoth: Eyes, 1 know;
Thus l builded, long ago!
Here gate and there wall
Here a window, there a door;
Here 4 steeple, wondrous tall,
Riseth ever more and more;
But the years have leveled low
What builded long agol'
So they gossip at their play
Needless of the fieeting day.
One speaks of that LongAgo,
Where his dead hopes buried lie
One with chubby cheeks aglow,
Prattleth of the By-and- BY
Side Ky side twin castles grow
ByandBy and Long Ago
Long-Ago and By-and-By-
All what years atween them lie!
Yet, oh grandsire. gaunt and gray,
BY what grace art thou beguiled
That thou sharest in the play
OF that little lisping child:
Children both, they build their blocks
Shufie-Shoon and Amber-Locks.

To change the practice in congress from
engrossing bills and resolutions to print
ing them would throw out of employment
q number of clerks who can do nothing
else so well as they can write, but il
would furnish more printers with en-
ployment and make the records neater
and more compact. The custom Of wri-
ting out the papers with,pen and ink has
been retained thus long because of the
mistaken idea that accuracy of transcrip-
tion was thus the better guarded. That
this was not correct was abundantly
proved in the last congress and the one
before It, 1t will be remembered that an
engrossing clerk left out a whole para
graph of the Mckinley bill, and the su-
preme court was called upon to saw
whether or not the whole act was vitiated
thereby. Had the Mckinley bill been
printed instead of engrossed such an
error could hardly have occurred. The
proof reader and copy holder in the print
ing Office would have discovered the out"
and made the necessary correction.

Double Taxation Is Unjust.

The taxation Of personal propeFte
represented by shares in foreign corr
porations is an injustice which viii
some day appeal 80 strongly to tho
minds of the people that It will be done
away with. It is obviously unfair that
any species of property should be taxed
twice The spirit Of our institutions ID
theoretically opposed to every form OF
double taxation, yet 1t Is only within .
very few years that the double taxation
of mortgaged property was abolished.
Shares in foreign corporations, al.
though they may and do constitute .
very material part Of the wealth OF the
community, are really only the shadow
of the actual property existing and
taxed elsewhere. To tax this shadow
is not only unjust, but impolitic The
town, the city, the state, derives .
direct and substantial benefit from tho
residence within it Of each wealthy
citizen. If his wealth Is in certificates
of stock in enterprises in other states,
the expenditure of the income of these
investments conduces to the pros
perity Of the neighborhood of his resi-
dence and increases the demand for and
consequent value Of the real property
there.
This Income Is diminished by the
saxes which the real property repre-
sented by the shares pays wherever it
exists. To tax this Income would per-
haps be fair, although extremely diff
cult, but to tax the shares themselves
at the average rate Of taxation in Mas
sachusetts is equivalent to confiscation
of one-third of the average income, and
is SO manifestly unjust that no man Of
spirit will submit
An attempt will be made during this
session of the legislature to SO modify
the law that property taxed elsewhere
will be exempt from taxation in Mas

A College Professors Views.

Mr.. BOLTON HALL, New York-Dear
Sir:-Although I am a teacher of econ
omics and hope that am a help to the
young men who attend my classes; yet
on the subject of taxation, am COM
PEELED to tell them that I have never
seen the bottom principle of it, and that
the most that can do is to give par
tial exposition.
1 admire Henry George as a writer
an d thinker above any living author on
economics that know: am in hearty
sympathy with the toiling masses and
try to find how their burdens can be
lightened and the strong be made to
bear them. If could see that a single
object of taxation was the most just,
then the question with me would be,
shall it be land or income?
As I understand it, I approve the
platform of the New York Tax Reform
association. Sincerely Yours,
