Producer and Consumer Taxed.

Bad roads are to-day one of the
heaviest taxes on production that
the people are compelled to bear.
The cost of getting a crop to mar
ket is often the heaviest single item
of expense connected with 1t, and
this cost raises the price to the
consumer and lowers the return to
the producer. And the greatest
part of the expense Of transporting
crop is due to the bad roads over
which it must be haGled to the
railroad or the waterway.
The waste Of money through bad
roads is greater than all the extor-
tons of the transportation compa
MES Of which the farmers have

costs three times as much to haul a
load over fair dirt road as it costs
to haul it over a good macadam or
telford road, and this cost has to

THE time has come tor the SEN
ate to act on the tariff bill. They
should either pass it or let the Nc
Kinley law stand. The latter
course would be decidedly the bet
ter one. But there has been talk
enough, and the country has stood
long enough in waiting attitude
for Congress to act. Delay has
paralyzed business and the people
have tolerated this stagnation long
enough. 1t is now time for Con-
gress to act that the business people
Of the country may know what they
are to expect, and that they may
settle down to business and assist
in bringing the country back to the
prosperous condition that existed
before the present administration
took hold of the reins of govern

How many millions of dollars
have been lost in the present coal
and coke strike? The question is
almost unanswerable. Companies
and men have suffered alike, but
the loss has not been confined to
the companies and men alone. 1t
has been felt by the country gener-
ally, and is not merely a monetary
loss. Life has gone with money.
Sum 1t all up when it is over and
what has been gained? The men
have lost more than they can make
up in years at the advance they
demand and the companies have
lost many times the amount of diff
ference in the scale they have been
paying and the amount demanded,
The men are justified in demanding
living wages, and humanity should
move the companies to give such
wages without the necessity of a
demand being made by the miners.

The HEARTS of the Baltimore
Democrats are sore. They had
hoped that S. Davies Warfeld, the
new postmaster, would distribute
pap with a lavish hand, but he
won't. About the first thing he
did after getting his clutches on the
office was to announce that there
would be very few changes for some
time.

Twelve counties in Illinois, COM
posing the Fourth Supreme Judicial
district Of that State, and hitherto
staunchly Democratic, had a regu-
lar Republican picnic in the election
held last week. The district gave
Cleveland a plurality of almost
1000. This has been changed into
a Republican plurality of 4,307.
If the rest of Illinois should turn
over in like manner, the Republican
plurality would equal, If not exceed,
that witnessed in the Galusha A.
Grow election in Pennsylvania last
February.
The Quincy Herald, the Dem
ocratic organ of Adams county,

The Rochester Union and Adcer-
tiseT. one Of the ablest Democratic
papers in the Empire state, asserts
that there is but one solitary jour
nal in the press of the State Of New
York that advocates the income
tax, and that paper is the New
York World, whose owner and
editor, Joseph Pulitzer, was born,
reared and educated in Buda- Pesth,
Hungary, under the empire and
despotism of Austria, and who now
edits his paper from some part of
Europe by ocean cable.
Joseph Pulitzer has a perfect
right to be born, reared and educa-
ted at Buda-Pesth or any other
place, but the fact that his is the
only paperin the great Empire state
That advocates the income tax is
something remarkable. 1t would
indicate that the people of New
York State are not in favor of that
kind Of taxation and that if Con-
gress forces it upon the country it
will do so at the peril of the party
that is now in power, so far as that
State at least is concerned, and it
must be remembered that New
York cuts very important figure
IN cur national elections.
1t very rarely happens that a
measure before Congress is SC
thoroughly odious as to receive nc
support from the press of either
political party of great state. but
here is one it seems, that is.
The only party that calls for an
income tax is the Populi8t party

the POpulists and at the same time
attempts to make the Democratic
party ride Populist hobby.

How It VIII Work.

The Wilson bill opens our market
to the producers Of Canada and
gives them an equal share in ali our
trade. They pay no taxes in the
United States, they live cheaper.
pay lower wages and can usually sell
for tie same price or even less and
make money.
Hitherto they, under the McKin-
ley bill, have made up what they
did not pay in taxes on farms and
plants III the United States by a
protective tariff at the border. We
saw that our'farmers, our own work
men and our own manufacturers
were given a fair show; that those
who build up our towns, increased
our industries, cleared our lands,
built our school houses and churches
and maintained them-that these
were not subjected to ruinOus COM
petition; and what they expended
in the material development of the
country was held for them, We
all have to pay taxes and all have
to do our due share together help
ing to maintain law and order.
Those who do these things should
not be made to suffer for the benefit
of this stranger. for him whose
capital, plant, farm and industry
are in foreign country and who is
not and cannot be factor of our
own national wealth. The Cana
dian manufacturer, farmer or me-
chanic had to pay at the border a
tax equivalent. SO far as could be
computed, to the full cost of the
privileges our market offered him.
1t is very much like city which
builds sidewalks, grades streets,
puts in waterworks, fire systems,
builds and maintains schools, erects
churches aud does all those things
which makes life pleasant and
agreeable. Of course these things
cost money, and to meet these ex-
penses taxes are laid on land, houses,
mercantile establishments, etc.
What would we think of the po-
litical economy which would allow
peddlers to go from house to house
and sell every article of household
need and luxury without let, hind
rance, tax or license? They would
drive over our streets paved by the
money of their competitors free of
any tax. They would return moth
ing to the municipality which allow
ed them to ply their avocation.
They would not be residents, but
carry away to another place the
money they received for their goods.
They might not even eat a meal or
spend the cost OF nights lodging
there. Surely this would not be
justice. Certainly no town could
thrive which did not, IN fair meas
ure, protect her own taxpayers.
Nor can it be argued that these
peddlers should go free of tax or
license to prevent robbery or extor-
ton by the local merchants. That,
as an argument, is used by Demo
Gratis, but when analysed its absurd
ity is shown at glance. COMPETE
ton never fails to bring down prices
there are merchants enough and
more are ever ready to come where
purchasers are to be found, so as to
make a reasonable price to consum-

Within five years. through the
operation of the interstate COM
merce law, the small town has been
placed upon an equality with the
larger city in the matter of freight
rates. Previously prohlbitory rates
ruled wherever there was but one
railroad. Cost of transportation
was as unstable as the wind. Cut
rate followed pool rate, one extreme
the other, and each succeeding
1St of January terminated all. The
law now has given permanency to
the conditions which regulate the
carrying tariff. Rates are based
upon distance and not upon the
elements of competition. This fact
rebounds to the advantage of the
small town, for freights being equal
the manufacturer naturally seeks
the location where his employees
can obtain lowest living wages and
cheapest rents or perchance BY the
exercise of thrift and energy may
gain independence and secure
homes. Many places which we're

COMMODORE VANDERBILTS
BOOK-KEEPER.

When Samuel Barton, the well
known Wall Street broker, and now
of the firm of J. w. Davis & Co., was
a poor boy, he studied law in S. L. M.
Barlow's office. One day he received
a curt summons from his uncle, Com
modore Vanderbilt, and, dutiful neph
ew that he was, he fastened to find
out what that brusque, but potential
gentleman wanted of him. He found
the Commodore in a high state of in
dignation over the unfaithfulness of a
trusted cashier.
Sam, I've sent for you because 1
want you to be my cashier, exclaimed
the founder of the Vanderbilt riches,
|vehemently.
But, uncle, don't know anything
about book keeping, protested young
Barton.
Bookkeeping be blowcd! shouted
the Commodore. You know how to
pc honest don't you?
Yes, sir, promptly responded the
nephew.
Well, you know how to take money
when it is paid to you?
Yes sir.
And you know how to pay bills when
tell you to pay 'em, don't you?
Certainly.
Then you would know enough to
i've me the balance of the money,
Fould'n't you?
Why, of course, said Barton.
Well, that's bookkeeping.
And Sam Barton filled the bill to his
ncle's satisfaction for several years.

CONFUSION as TO DIVINE
GUIDANCE.

In the early days of Maine Metho-
dism it was customary for young min
listers to consult their presiding elders
before taking wife. Once, during
camp-meeting in Eastern Maine, a
young minister approached the pre-
siding elder and said he wished to be
married.
"Whom do you propose to marry?''
asked the elder.
sWell,'' said the young minister,
ssthe Lord has made known to me
very clearly that should marry Sis
ter Mary Turner"
az know her WE'LL" said the elder;
sshe is a fine girl. 1 will see you
again before the meeting Closes"
During the week four other young
ministers consulted the presiding ell
der on the subject of marriage. Each
of the same young women to whom
he proposed to offer himself. They
all had prayed over the matter great
deal, and each was certain that it was
the Lords desire that he should mar
ry the person named. Neither of
the five young men knew any one
else had consulted the elder on that
subject. On the last day of the camp
meeting, at noon, the elder called the
five young ministers to receive his
opinion. He said:
"Now, brethren, it may be the will
of God for you to marry, but it is not
His will that five Methodist ministers
should marry little Mary Turner"

EGYPTIAN WATER WORKS.

In Egypt and other countries where
irrigation is practiced to a greater ex-
tent than elsewhere, the inventive
mind has been alert for centuries,
for elevating water. Some of these
are SO simple that they must have
been obvious, while others show an
immense amount of inventive genius
worthy of our own century. In fact,
as is we'll known, the fundamental
principles of hydraulics were discov
cred ages since, and some OF the early
machines have never been materially
changed Or improved upon.
The Egyptian shadoof is a form Of
water elevator which has been in use
from time immemorial, not only in
Egypt, but almost all over the world.
A device fully as ample as this, but
not SO old, is a gutter, which was
made both single and double.
1t consisted OF a trough pivoted at
one end above the level of the water
the free end being alternately dipped
in the water and raised, SO as to cause
it to discharge into sluice leading
away from the machine
The pendulum water elevator is a
curious modification of the swinging
gutter. A number Of cutters arranged
in two series are secured to opposite
sides Of swinging frame, each series
Of cutters being arranged on a zigzag
line, and the two series of cutters are
oppositely arranged with respect to
each other, so while one end of the
lower gutter of the other series dis
charges into the next one above, and
a flap velve retains the water while
the device is swung in the opposite di-
rection.
In this manner the water is ad-
vanced step by step at each oscilla-
ton, until it is finally discharged into
the sluice, which carries it away for
use. Each of the cutters, except the
first of each series is provided with a
valve, which retains the water as it
moves forward and upward.
