THE INCoMG.TAX Bill.

In any discussion of Senator LEAv-
TITS income-taX bill it must be borne
in mind that sit is condition, not a
theory, that confrontS u.s." If the mat
ter were one of first impressions, if we
were building anew system OF taxa
ton, much Of the argument made
against the measure would be fOrcible
and convincing. 1t might then be justly
urged that such tax is unequal; that
it is inquisatorial; that it can and will
be evaded, and so on. But We are not
building anew. We are trying to cor
rect admitted defects, to cure known
inequalities. The condition is that our
subsection Of personal property to taxa
ton is largely failure owing to the
ease with which, after a certain point,
this property can be and is successfully
hidden from the assessors. The rich
thus eYade their share of the public
burdens.
This is made plain by study of the
tax abstracts of the state, as given in
the auditors annual report. 1t shows
that the personal property of the coun-
try districts is assessed, while that
in the cities, where VIGOROUSLY the per-
sonal is largely IN excess of the real,
escapes. Taking few representative
agricultural counties as illustrative of
this wa pet the fOiIOyyinp results.

FAR TOO HIGH.
A Constituent OF Senator Mott
Enters a Protest.


Enters a Protest.
Col. Charles G. Whitney, the genial
and able editor of the Lyon County
News Messenger, objects to the great
notoriety being given his senatorial dis
trict through the newspaper criticisms
leveled at Senator Orrln Mott. lie is a
loyal Republi lean and close figurer in
politics, but he thinks the price paid for
Senator Motifs vote was ninety-nine per
cent too high. He knows Mr.. Mott bet
ter than the Republican senators, and
for this reason his opinion is entitled to
great weight. The following is from
the last issue of the NewSMeSSenger:
We protest against the abuse of State
Senator Mott, of Lincoln county. For a
plain, unasSuming country member, we
think he has shown unexpected ability,
and if he sold himself 10 the Republic
ans for 1854, he was shreWd enough to
rope in his purchasers at least 80 per
cent above value received. 1T the Min
neSota legislature can produce greater
Napoleon Of finance. we would like to
see him. But we object to the ManKato
Review clubbing Lyon, Lincoln and Vel
low Medicine counties 'The Land of
Mott, " us we quote below:
ne counties OF Lyon, Lincoln ana
Yellow Medicine are known as the
Land of Mott" The name is derived
from the man who represents the dis
trict in the state senate. He was
elected as an Alliance man, but at the
organization of the present session
helped the Republicans to organize
the senate. receiving in payment for his
vote the appointment of his fourteen
year-Old boy as file keeper at So per
day. In his district the story is told
that after his election two years ago,
and near the time that congress was
about to assemble, he went to his
railroad station and inquired the price
of ticket to Washington. He was told,
and the inquiry being made whether he
intended to visit the federal capital, he
said, "Why yes; as L have been elected
a Udited States senator it will be neceS-
sary for me to 60 there" The matter
was explained that he was elected a
state senator, that the body of which he
was member met Ill 81. Paul, and his
course directed that way, lie finally
found his status as member OF that
body He has since learned thing or
two and is sharp in horse trade. as is
evidenced by his dicker with the Re
publican party leader.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

We have been taught that there is q
law of supply and demand. There is,
but it is a dead letter. Yesterday we
read in the papers that wheat reacted
and closed about as low as at any time
since harvest A day hence we will
probably read that it is still lower, or
that it has advanced by large figure.
What does such work mean? That
wheat is governed by the law of supply
and demand? No 1t means that wheat,
as we'll as all other farm products, is
controlled by gamblers. A wheat ring
beats the farmer out of the price he
should receive by a system of grading
and other processes. Somebody or a
clique in Chicago corners the wheat in
sight, and up goes the price; but before
the farmer can get to market with his
product the parties who ran the cor
ner have unloaded and supplied all
demands. so that the price has
tumbled lower than ever. The farm
er, who is the foundation Of the
general wealth Of the nation, is thus
kept at the foot of the hill all the time,
and a few, not the general people, are
cure for this, and that is by judicious
laws; not such as the WAsHBURN anti
option bill, which strikes at only one
point OF the evil to shield the other
points. 1t is difficult to say just what
that law should be; but it seems as
though it should be national provis-
ion. A law of Minnesota cannot reach
the Chicago wheat and provision gam
blers, yet these men control the markets
Of Minnesota to large extent. If our
lawmakers, both state and national,
| would lay aside politics long enough to
make honest provisions for the farmers
it would result in wonderful good to the
country at large. The law of supply
and demand should govern the prices
of all farm products. If it did the mar
kets would be reliable, and average
vastly higher than they do now.
WHAT are the great colleges and uni
versities of America coming to? Even
CHAUNCEY DEPEw places the football
contests above everything else. In hi
address at the alumni gathering of Y ale
college Friday night in New York he
spoke at length upon the athletic
achievements of the boys before he
made a remark upon the accomplish
ments of the graduates Of the institution
in the fields of literature, business, art
and science. Mr. DEPEw evidently de-
sired to strike popular chord in the
breasts of his auditors.

aFhe relative conditions are more than
reversed. The cities return five dollars
of real to one of personal property.
Were the country proportion kept up in
the cities the above counties would re-
turn over $50O,0OO000 of personal prop
erty for taxation. 1t is evident that in
the counties cited over $3.50, 900 is
annually hidden from the assessors. As
in the country there is so large return
Of personal property because the hold
ings are in articles in PLAIN view, so in
the cities the small taxpayers, whose
belongings are visible and cannot be
hidden, are fully assessed. 1t is the
hiding by the wealthy of their property
that causes the remarkable differences
between city and country returns.
There is but one way to reach the
dodgers, and that is by an income tax.
They can hide their bonds and stocks,
they can shelter their mortgages under
nonresident names, but they will have
to give up for assessment the income
they derive from the hidden wealth.

THE EXTREME S Meet.

One Of the curious developments Of
our national growth is the similarity Of
the two states of the Union. which have
always been the most antagoniStic-in
their relations, Kansas and South Caro-
lima. The pules are not farther apart
than these two states have been since
the birth OF the latter, on every public
question. In its hatred Of the Aboli-
zionist, in its eagerneSS to take extreme
measures to suppress him, South Caro-
lima always led her sister Southern
states. In the old days Of the ti5h
against the tariff of abonnationS, it
was South CIrolina that propo;3i to
'nullify the revenue laws. Sac was the
first to sacede from the Union, AMI tbs
first gun of the great Rebellion was
fired in her borders. Subme rged for
while by her black vote, shs signalized
her return by becoming the seat Of the
moVenentO Of the agriculturiSt in politics.
rhe Tilmanites were to South Caro-
lima precisely what the Pooulists are to
Kansas. Now she maintains her char
acter by taking over to the state the en-
tire liquor traffic.
Kansas has ever been the Utopia Of
the crank and the reformer. She was
born in the throaS Of crankism. Her set
lers carried SHAEP's rifles in one hand
aud the Bible in the other. The fulfil
list always found within her borders a
hOspitable welcome. That men can be
legislated into anything from wealth to
morality was always an undispnteI
axiom of government in that state.
Greenbackism, prohibition, land loans,
she has caught in turn every social and
financial infection to which states in
childhood are subject to. Thus develop
ing in different ways, the radicalism of
these two states has swept around the
circle until they are meeting OH COM
mon ground. The radica Cavalier and
the radical Puritan touch shoulders.

TO BREED TROUBLE
The Mugwumps and Democratic
Soreheads Working Against
Crisp.

Crisp.
Atlanta Constitution.
The mugWumpS and their Democrat
assistants who have so signally failed tc
create aDtagOnism to the coming Demo
cratic administration in New York hav
returned to their efforts to show tina
there is bad feeling on the part of Mr.
Cleveland toward Speaker Crisp.
AS far as they can they are keepini
the reports of these efforts out of In
Democratic press, but they are freel!
feeding the correspondents of the New
York Tribune and other Republican or
gdns with information Of the tremendous
row that is to be kicked up. These cor
respondents take the information and
use all their arts in vain to discover VIII!
Mr.. Crisp is to be defeated.
The only reply to this is that MIR
Cleveland is opposed to him. WheI
asked why Mr.. Cleveland should OppOSI
Mr.. Crisp, the mugwumpS and thei
Democratic assistants say that 1t is DO
cause the speaker refused to organize
the committees to suit Mr.. Mills. This
sort of talk may do for children fussins
over marble or a doll, but it ill be
comes men who in some capacity o.
other are supposed to represent thi
people.
The organization of the house had
nothing whatever to do with the success
or failure of tariff legislation in this
congress. There could not possibly bI
any such thing as Democratic tariff leg
iSlatiOn while the Republicans con
trolled the senate and the idea that the
preSident-elect intends to hold Speaker
Crisp responsible for the failure
Democratic tariff measures is gratu
itous insult to Mr.. Cleveland.
There seems to be no doubt wlatevc
of Speaker CriSp's reelection; but
above and beyond the considerations
that enter into this matter why is il
that the Democratic party since thu
war is the victim of a mischievOus claSi
which is constantly striving 10 the ut
most of its energy and influence to Gre
ate discord and weaken the usefulness
of the party? Are we to have the mug
wump thug always with us? One dOst
of old-faShiOned Democracy would par
alyze them. May we not hope that they
will get that dose under Mr.. Cleveland
second administration?

two dollars of personal property listed
for taxation in the country to one dollar
of real estate. This is about the normal
