INCOME TAX ABSURDITlES.

If there is to be an income tax,
what shall its exemption be and
shall it be progressive In rate in
creasing with the sum of income?
Either of them will, on close an
alysis, turn out to be rank commun-
ism and the last will be con6sca-
ton.
The federal income tax OF 1868
exempted 5000 annual income for
each person and whatever was an
nually paid for rent and repair of
residence. Five per cent was levied
on all incomes above six hundred
dollars, seven per cent. on all above
five thousand dollars, and ten per
cent. on all above ten thousand dol
lars.
Why exempt any sum?
There is only one detcnsible rea-
son, which is that unless q bare sub
sistence is exempted the tax taken
from "a taxpayer must be returned to
the poor man as a pauPer. a bare
subsistence is then to be the test OF
exemption, and not such large sums
as populist congressman demand.
If an income tax law exempts two
thousand dollars, then, at four per
cent. interest, the sum Of fifty thou
sand dollars is exempted Onc own.
ing that capital will go frse of tax,
but what will he pay who has sixty
thousand dollars?
The federal incsme tax in 1868 ex.
empted one thousand dollars, anG
only 259, 1856 paid any income tax
When the exemption was two thou
sand dollars only l16,OOO paid a
first, and finally only 1900 out o
a populatian of 100000. Wa,
not that a burlesque on taxation?
If two thousand dollars shall b.
now exempted, the income exempted
will, in the aggregate, be create,
than the income taxed. What alb
surdity.
If it were proposed to tax all in
comes below two thousand dollars
and exempt all above that sum, tn
insanity of it would be obvious.
If sne's income only keeps hin
alive, then taxing him and payin,
back the tax to a pauper will b
needless circuity, but one with fit
thousand dollars capital or two thou
sand dollars year is not paupel
| And besides, ifa manufacturer witt
only fifty thousand dollars capital
untaxed he can undcrsell him wit
four times the capital. The profit
eff two farms Of two persons along
side of one another, each being tw
thousand dollars, would be untaxed
but taxed if owned by one person
Why?
| When an income tax is levied is
not rancid, fetid communism to ex
empt anybody's income except il
the case Of pauperism? Is it not
lack of political virtue and courag
which, income tax, exempts any Q
the wages Of labor or any of tn
profits of capital or business or tn,
rent of land?

New rianaVemeut.

The Poor Farm is now under man
cement Of the new Superintendent,
Geo. A. Stewart of Harmon township,
who is PopuliSt. Concerning the
appointment of Mr.. Stewart to this
position, in reply to certain criticisms
made by the nORitOr, the Standard
gives this version.
The facts in this case are that there
were several bieS before the board,
among them that of Mr.. George A.
Stewart, the man selected for super
intendent Of the poor farm, who is a
resident Of Mr.. Grifith'S district; that
he was recommended by Col. J. W.
FOrney, and that he selected by the
votes of Mr.. Griffith and Mr.. FaurOt,
John L. Stewart being chairman Of
the board and not voting. The bid of
Mr., Stewart was $40 less than the
amount paid to Mr.. Reed last year. as
his contract was for $1,000 and also
girl hire. the same as covered by the
present contract, and was the lowest
bid before the board.
As to the charge of Mr.. George
Stewards Indebtedness to the chair
man of the bOard-which is certainly
a personal matter with which the
board of the public has nothing to dc
which the Monitor Press charges is
S2.39456, if the editor has desired tt
tell the truth he could readily have
learned that the amount owing on the
note or notes secured by mortgage,
he mentions, is little, if any more
than $1,000.

1t cannot be called little fraud, as
it is Of too great value and is not to
blame fer being misused.
Vick's New Branching Aster when
cut resembles the chrySanthemum so
closely that only experts can tell the
difference, and as it comes into flower
six weeks before the NUNS and at a
time when flowers are scarce, it is a
great temptation to the florist to sell
thesel Asters for NUNS" The

out doors, and the seeds cost only %

WHAT IN THE UsEf

The TINES has received a very
volumnous communication from the
Gospel of the Kingdom Publishing
20, and School of Prophecy, of St.
Louis, accompanied by formidable
posters printed in inch long black let
iers with such appalling head lines as
"Sound the Alarm Revenge Blood
and Fire are coming Jesus is coming,
and the End of the World is nearm
This is rather disquieting. The
Immediate prospect of the wreck of
matter and the crash of worlds will
probably not interfere with the pros
pect for a good crop and prosperous
fall trade, but the coming of blood
and fire isnot pleasant to contemplate.
The q. of the X. Publishing Co. and
School OF Prophecy urges the TIMES,
In an aflectiouaie epistle, to warn It's
readers OF the wrath TO come, and an-
nounces reigu OF unbridled anarchy,
battle, murder, and sudden death, 10
be followed by the reign of two uni
versal potentates, TO wit: Pope Lucien
Bonaparte aud King Jerome Napoleon
whose portraits accompany the CON-
munication, King Napoleon being
identified with Anti-Christ by queer
puzzle of Greek letters, converting
him from Appollyon in plain English
to Napoleon in the more abslrusc
tongue. The "ridiculous mus" Of thii
mountain in labor is one Sam Rat
cliffe, a negro street preacher, con
cerning whom the TIMES published {
notice two weeks ago; aud the letter
circulars SC. are defense of th,
teachings of this prophet" Now
what can be done for a race whlcl
can be led away by such folly an,
madness I The circulars are the yer,
ecstasy of absurdity, but the letter i
written by an apparently educate,
and fairly intelligent person. SucI
experiences are calculated to make u
more than doubt the wisdom o
efficiency of education In the mind 0
people who entirely fail TO grasp II
purpose or meaning, and in whom 1t
expression becomes mere cracklin

Dear Sir: In reply to your qUes-

lilies. Some OF them have been on the
place as long as three years. We find
them temperate in their habits, quie.
and easily controlled and obedient

TURNING SOUTHWARK.

The following, from the Philadelphia
Times, is reproduced by the N. o.
Times-Democrat;
The fact that the Southern States
have made such a remarkably good
showing sincc the financial pressure
commenced, nine months ago, has be-
gun to attract the attention of invest
ors from the North aud West. A
good deal of capital has already been
placed by shrcwd operators like Gould,
Vanderbilt, Corbin and others in Ala
bama, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina
and other States, and many colonies
of intelligent wage-earners have been
planted In localities where II is believed
beneficent emouments will follow.
The magnitude which this southwark
migration has already attained Is not
realized al oil, except by the few who
have watched its courses and develop
ment. Hundreds Of dissatisfied farm
ers and artisans from higher latitudes
have followed in the wake of Austin
Corbin's colony of 400, which be plant
ed last December in Arkansas. Three
hundred families settled In Prairie
county alone. Emigrants are crowd
ing into Texas by the thousands.
Many Iowa families have moved into
Louisiana. Seventy-five families from
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa have settled
along the line of tho Illinois Central
Railroad from Tennessee southwark
to Texas. Many Hoosiers move into
upper Georgia. Colorado people drift
into louisiana and few into North
Carolina. Oregon inquiries incline to-
ward North Carolina. PenDsylvaniani
migrate into Virginia and North Car
olina, and so do homeseekers from
Wisconsin aud Michigan, attracted by
the timber industries. Quite few
Dakota farmers, originally from New
England, are looking toward Mary
land. Families from New York hay,
settled in Hyde county, N. c., and pu
in an early crop of Irish potatoes
New Jersey and Indiana farmers arr
largely engaged in trucking arount
Norfolk and Elizabeth City.
The Philadelphia Times is conser
vative and clcar-headed paper, and 1t
statements are made without prejudic
or exaggeration. The influx ofsettler
into Arkansas was induced primaril,
by the scheme of Mr.. Austin Corbin
and the readiness with which his lea'
was followed is proof that advertise
ment is what is chiefly needed to turl
the attention of emigrants to thi
country. There Is no comparison o
the advantages offered by the Arkan
sas side to those of the Mississippi
Delta. Our neighbors of Arkansa
are at the mercy of overflow, and hav
! many disadvantages to contend will
from which we are comparatively fire.
Let the Yazoo Delta once becom
known. and there W III be no difficult
!. about populating it.
