Plea of a Tax-Dodger.

A writer in the Tax Dodgers organ, of
Monday in making plea for the exemp-
ton Of capital from taxation. endeavors to
make it appear that the passage of the new
Hayes bill will drive capital out of the
state, and people also, and cause business
staguation, and asserts that the income tax
of the Wilson bill is not half so severe as
the proposed Hayes bill. The writer then
says
.sSparrow's Point is closed; our industries
generally languishing. 1t is true they will
recover If the Wilson bill can be passed
through the Senate promptly, but what is the
poor State of Maryland TO do?
If the SIMS contributor, who is no doubt
a tax-dodger, knows anything of the Spar
rows Point works, he knows that they are
paid to be closed By the steel truSt. And
he must not think that taxpayers take
much interest in this cry of driving capital
out of the state. 1t is only raised to de-
eeiye the people, but the people are not so
easily hoodwinked. If these tax-dodgers
are to be believed, all property will leave the
state, except possibly farming lands, if a
fair assessment bill is passed. Well, lett
go, and the tax-dodgers with it. People
who are not willing to pay their just pro-
portion of public expenses are not wanted
in Marrland.

Agriculture's Burden.

The farmer is the only producer. All
Others are consumers. The manufacturer
produces nothing-he only fashions. When
agriculture is depressed all business is de-
pressed. There are none to dispute this,
and vet agriculture is laid under tribute to
all other interests by Federal and State tax
laws. By the Federal system of Protec-
ton, the farmers have been systematically
plundered for thirty years by manufactur-
ers. By state exemptions of personal
property the possessions of capital, they
have been unduly burdened, and further
burdened because money has been taken
from the public treasury to assist private
enterprises. Colleges have been aided, and
academies, and private hospitals and private
asylums, while persons have been fitted and
are being fitted at the public expense for
the profession of teaching.
1t would seem to be the part of wisdom
10 favor agriculture, rather than Cypress it,
yet the manufacturers today are protesting
against very moderate reduction of the
burdens of the farmers, and the Maryland
Legislature has before it an assessment bill
full of exemptions of nearly everything ex-
cept farming lands, and even taxing the
farmers shovel, hoe, pillow and other i'm
plements, while exempting the tools of a
mechanic worked by hand.
Agriculture stands first, and is the eoun-
try's main reliance. Then comes Com
merce and lastly Manufactures. This is
the order, recognized by all writers upon
political economy, yet in this republic,
founded to establish equal rights and priv
ileges among men, and to maintain exact
Justice, this order is reversed and class leg
islation established. Manufactures is placed
first, and maintained by false system of
taxation Commerce is encouraged by
subsidies, and Agriculture, the foundation
of all wealth, is left to an unequal struggle
and the prey of Manufactures and Com
merce.

The Compromise Tax Bill.
For The Advocated

ttOr Inc AuNOchte.l
MEssRs. EDITORS The new "compro-
mise tax bill'' is out, and with the most APP
paIling list of exemptions. Not what may
be exempted, but mandatory s'that shall be
exempted 1t is truly surprising, after all
the circumstances of our taxpayers, including
Farmers Oranges, and after the voters of
the state have voted down the proposed 10Th
amendment, which contained the same fea-
lures of exemptions as are IN this bill. that
still we should have an assessment bill forced
upon us exempting so many millions OF prop.
er.y throughout the state. Besides, many OF
these institutions that are exempted are buy
ing and selling property aud realizing large
profits out of the same, Educational lnsti'
tutioLs are making more money out OF their
large boarding schools than the most expert
farmer can possibly realize by cultivation OF
his lands, yet one is taxed and the other ex-
empted. And we hear them talk OF 'equiia-
bic assessments and justice, both of which
are practically set aside in this new assess
ment BILL Further, we see the most deter
mined effort in the bill to ferret out and hunt
M all personals and securities of every kind,
taxing stocks and bonds in the hands of the
holders, instead of taxing them to The corpo-
rations that issue them. Many of them are
fraudulent, being issued largely in excess of
the value Of that ON which they are issued,
and exempting them from taxes on their
stocks and bonds thus issued helps them to
deiraud the people,
The exemption clause in the bill should
be published in every newspaper in the state.
We see every other point in the bill discussed
and this feature overlooked. Why is. this?
Our legislative bodies, we understand, con-
tend that the 10Th article of our bill Of rights
prohibits from making assessments uniform
on the same class of property as that would
be class legislation, &c. And yet they pro
pose a much greater Infringement on the 10Th
article by exempting alarge class of property
entirely from assessment and taxation. The
inconsistency of such legislation ought to,be
apparent to all persons not beref Of reason.
This new assessment bill will cost taxpay-
ers several hundred thousand dollars, and no
benefits will accrue TO any taxpayer. If in
some counties the assessments are lowered
the rate must be increased to meet the ex-
penses that have TO be paid, Under our
present laws county commissioners have am
pie powers to assess and revalue property
and collect all taxes, and unless we can have
an assessment bill that is really equitable
and lust and freed from all exemptions far
better to let the law stand that we have.

Business Principles.

There is no reason why public affairs
should not be conducted upon business
principles, just as private affairs are. 1t
is not practicable, perhaps, to secure the
same efficiency and economy, but some
near approach is attainable.
Times are hard and business dull. A
prudent business man, under such condl-
tiOns, would cut off every possible expense
and incur no new obligations. Why should
not the state do the same? The Legisla-
ture has it in its power to curtail largely,
but there is no present evidence of an in
tention to do so, and every favored iusti-
tuition, regardless of the financial depres-
sion, and particularly of agricultural de-
preston, is again asking aid from the pub
lie treasury. They are not even satisfied
with what they have been receiving, but
nearly all want an increase.
Private enterprises should never be
aided from the public treasury. Not even
if times were prosperous. And now, when
it is difficult for the people to make both
ends meet, there certainly should be no
increase, but general reduction ola such
appropriations. To abolish them altogether
would be better.

No Delay in the Senate.

There viii be no delay Of the tariff bill
in the Senate. The beneGciaries of Pro
lection hoped to have hearings before the
Senate Finance Committee, but Chairman
Voorhees, has decided not to grant any,
aud very properly 50. All of these were
heard before the House Committee, and il
they had not been, what right had they,
any more than other people, to be heard.
II hearings were opened to one class all
others would be entitled to appear before
the Committee, and months would be con
sumed to no particular purpose. The tar
iff question is well understood by the peo-
pie, aud particularly by Senator'S and
no hearings are necessary. Action, not
delay, is what is demanded.

Speaking of the nomination of Mr.. Peck
ham to be Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and the oppo-
sition of Mr.. Hill to his confirmation,
Harper's Weekly says
There is no lawyer in the state New
York who is friend or follower of Mr.. Hill
who in point Of character or ability is fit to
be a judge Of the Supreme Court."
Such a remark evinces narrow.minded-
ness unworthy of the lowest grade partisan.
Such expressions only strengthen Mr. Hill,
for it provokes resentment from all the
legal fraternity who support the Senator's
management and leadership. 1t is 50
sweeping and mad an assertion, that it
must roeoiI to Mr.. Hills advantage. Mr..
Hill can never be lowered by such warfare.

God in the Constitution.


Will it command for us a greater respect
among the nations of the earth? Not at all;
our navy with few Benhams, will do that.
Will it please Omnipotenee to thereafter as
snage the violence of cyclone, food and
drought? Not at all; the forces of old
mother nature will sweep along majestically,
all the same, for good or i'll to the sons of
men. win the farmer he blest with better
crops, or the laborer with better pay? Not
at all; as the one sows so be shall reap, and
rs the other works so shall be his pay.
VIII the cause of christianity be advanced?
Not at all; men will continue to be inst as
dishonest in their graspings after the al
mighty Dollar" and the malediction of the
prophet of old-"Ihis people do indeed draw
nigh unto me with their mouth, while their
heart is far from me''-will receive Il fresh
significance. Who. then, wants "God in the
Constitution p Simply that class ofpretend-
ing Christians who Cry Lord! Lord! but
do not the things that he saith simply that
class who want words for works, theology for
Christianity and possible political power for
Christian weakness.
The humble christian concerned chiefly
about the salvation of his soul, the resisting
Of temptation and the overcoming of sin
wishes to see God written only upon his
heart and mind, through the operation OF
conscience and finds no time for pilgrimages
over the land in advocacy of constitutional
amendments. If God has to be called upon
to lend dignity and aid to q nation, he will
begin with the individual in very small way
and the individual will have no need to begin
with him in very pretentious way. Christ
sought no recognition from the powers that
be; on the contrary, he said, my kingdom
is not of this world and there are no evil
dences at hand to show that times have
changed and that it is.
While the term God may seem the greatest
power for good to some, there are names
which are more significant of temporal good
to others; and, insomuch as our constitution
vouschafes equal rights to all, every class of
men could demand recognition of its pre-
ference if entry were given to one, and the
old constitution could be inscribed with the
Pope for the Catholics; Moses for the Jews;
Mohammed for the Mohammedans; Paine or
Ingersoll for the Freethinkers, and so on, nd
infnitum. But we want none of them, and
it would be well for those clergymen who
have iourneyed to Washington on the God
in the Constitution mission, to return to
their homes and render unto God the things
that are Gods, and unto Caesar the things
that are CAESARS; or, in other words. cease the
attempt to make God suppliant at Cesar s
throne. CARROLL COUNTY.
