First Use OF Potatoes In Ir lsnd.

In the garden adjoining his house at
Youghal. Raleigh planted the first pota-
toes ever grown in ireland. The vege-
table was brought TO him from the httie
colony which he endeavored TO estabhsn
in Virginia. The coionists started In
April. 1855. and Thomas Harriet, one OF
their number wrote description of the
country in 1887. He describes root
which must have been the potatoe:
"Openank are kind OF roots or rouno
form, some of the bignesse of walnuts
some fare greater, which are found IN
moist and marish grounds growing many
together one by another in ropes, as
though they were fastened with STRING;

the first TO introduce the plant into ire

TATE FAIR.

The Lafayette Gazette, says:
"As far as this bounty is concern
ed, it seems to he the concessus of
opinion that the American people
have repudiated it, although not
more Objectionable than a protec-
tive tariff, it is too ralpable class
legislafioN to be endorsed by the
masses."
To be entirely consistent with
the psrty's policies. you must adj
vocate and support the income tax
proposition. And yet this tax is
the worst kind of class legislation.
II goes further; it is, as has been
remsrked by an experienced stu
deut of our form of government,
"stax that is totally opposed to
the spirit of our federal system,
and is an encroachment upon the
domain commonly regarded as
wisely belonging to the individual
stat<S," that is. it is an unwise po-
licy, a. we'll as opposed to the
true principles of Democratic
faith, to bring the federal officer
in personal contact with the pri-
vste citizen, in matters of collect
ing national taxes.
It is admitted that it is done in
regard to whiskey and tobacco,
but as this writer remarks the
government has only to deal al
the point of manufacture" which
is quite a different thing from
the offensive and inquisitoria
manner of taking citizens, all ovel
the country, by the throat. as it
were, and make them stand ant
deliver.
Not only, as We have just men,
toned is this tax the most abnoxi
GUS kind of class legislation; it Ii
more, it is a form of persecution
and blackmail upon the industri
Gus and thrifty.
