THE INCOME TAX.

Howard, of the New York Recorder,
says: We have had an income tax, you
know.
DO you remember it?
1t was way back in the sixties, a war
measure, when the country was on its
beam ends, when it took $3.50 of paper
money at the North to buy 81 of gold,
and took 500 of paper money in the
South to purchase one of the little shin
ers. We had two individuals then. as
indeed we have now, for the collection
OF internal revenue, an assessor to de-
termine what men must pay and a col
lectOr to gst it. To old-timers, this talk
will seem stale, but there are very few
old-timers left, and to new corners it will
be revelation to hear that there was a
time when every man and every woman
had to tell just how much money they
had, and where they got it, swear to it,
and pay tax upon it, At first, men
with incomes below $500 were exempted.
later 5000 became the limit. That YOU
see is just about 81 for every working
day in the year, The moment You made
cent over that, you had to pay a per-
centage to the government, If you were
a clerk on s9OO,a year, 81. 800, 81 200, ST.
800, you had to pay a tax just the same
as if your income was $4,000, 10000,
100000, SO that presumably you could
pay your tax without feeling it, l think
you would be surprised if you knew how
the work was done, the inquisitorial
character of the questions, the prying
opportunity offered to men of curious
disposition, the unending vexations
possible, the annoyances to which an I'M
friendly assessor might subject them,
and worst of all, dear boys, continuous
temptation TO lying, deception and per-
Jury, laid before you by the law.

Disguise the matter as much as pos
sible, the truth still comes out that the
tariff fight to-day is one between home
and foreign interests, high-priced aud
low-priced labor. And we mistake the

protests so potential as to prevent the
Wilson bill from passing into the hands

The City of Silence.

Amyclae, a city in Upper Calabria,
Italy, and the Amycli were known as
'tac-Italy, and the Amycli were
known as "tac-iti," or silent, and the
laws of silence were rigidly enforced,
to the extent that no out cry was
made when the DorianS arrived, and
the city was accordingly destroyed.
There are no silent cities along the
Duluth Short Line. The Saint Paul
& Duluth Railroad runs through one
of the most prosperous sections of the
entire NOrthWert, and all Of It's cities
and towns are of the busiest and live
lest description. This line is the
peoples popular route to and between
such places as ST. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth, West Superior, Saltwater,
Taylor's Falls and the famous gold
deposits of the Rainy Lake country.
Its handsome trains take the traveller
swiftly and comfortably at handy
hours and make close connections
with trains running in all directions.
The man who follows the crowd takes
the Duluth Short Dine and makes it
a practice thereafter. Maps, circu-
lars, etc., may be obtained of ticket
agents, or will be furnished upon APP
plication to w. A. Russell, General
Passenger Agent, st. Paul, MINI.

Vice-President Diamond and Secre-

County Agricultural Society, have
made arrangements with Rev. Lee w.
Beattie, of this city, to deliver the
annual address at the coming county
fair. This address will be given on
the last day of the fair, Sept. goth, and
that it will be a good one, nobody who
knows Mr.. Beattie will doubt. There
are several special features of interest
on that day, and it will be a splendid
opportunity for our citizens to have a
day off, and we can assure them that
they will not regret it. Messrs.
Diamond and Nickerson have worked
hard to give Blue Earth county a good
fair, and they will be successful, from
present indications,

ED. FREE PREss:-Ought not some
move be made to aid the suffering and
destitute at Hinckley and other points
in Northern Minnesota?
This section is blessed with abund-
ant crops and surely our city is unwil-
ling to disregard these urgent appeals
for help from those who have suffered
this horrible calamity.
To start the ball rolling we will
give 40 sacks of flour and suggest that
instant measures be taken to do our
part in m%inistering to the necessities
of these unfortunate people.
r. D.. HUBBARD MILLING Co.
This is a good beginning, and should
inaugurate a movement for relief
which should become general among
our citizens. We have been blessed
with plenty, and can spare of our
abundance to III suffering neighbors.
Humanity demands that we make an
offering.

ANOTHER POpULIST CONVENTION.

A. NJ. Morrison, secretary of the
Populist convention at Good Thunder
Monday, states that the work done at
that meeting will be considered as
null and void, and that the county
committee will issue a call for new
caucuses and another convention.
There will be no meeting Sept. 18th,
for it is considered that if the conyen-
tion was illegal, it had no power to
adjourn. 1t is a question whether the
next convention will take the same
action in nominating a legislative
ticket as the former one.
Mr.. Morrison states that the de-
termination to begin over again from
the bottom is due to the advice of
Judge Severance, who considers the
holding of a convention on Labor Day
as of doubtful legality. Judge Buck
also advised that another convention
be held, and Lorin Cray takes the
same ground.

The finest corn we ha

The finest corn we have seer
grown in Blue Earth county, was
handed in this morning by j. Jessup,
of Minnesota street. The corn was
grown on Mrs. Milligan's farm east of
the city at the head of the ravine.
Every ear is well filled to the end and
very large, and some stalks have as
high rs seven we'll developed ears.
MI. Jessup says he has grown good
corn in Iowa, but never had such a
yield in Minnesota. He estimates 400
bushels from the five acres, which for
a dry year is a wonderful yield. This
should be entered at the county fair
for the corn yield prize.
