TO THE DYING YEAR.

There is no death, It's but a change,
From life TO life more bright
And through cteruity's vast range
We soar to higher light.
Eternal praise to him who gave
Existence first on earth,
And then another higher still
Into the second birth.
Thus God in love and perfectness,
Forever we do see,
Bearing US onward, upward still,
Through all eternity.
For all the works which he hath mad
Shall not be made in vain:
In wisdom he moves on and On.
Then praise, q. praise his name,

Governor Mckinley, in his speech
Mt Hartford, Con, made a point
which nseds the most careful consid
GRAFTON by those who are strenuous in
the belief that the prime necessity of
the country just now is a large in
crease in the AIN cunt of money in the
United States. The Governor stated
great fact in II very few words when
he declared that 1T is often said that
we want enough money to meet the
needs of business, but just now the
thing we need is business itself And
further along in the speech he expond
ed this idea rs follows:
mo matter what kind of currency
we have it will not rekindle idle fur
ces and employ idle men so long as we
go abroad for our products which can
be made at home. because of the
cheaper labor prevailing there. If we
do our work at home our labor mt
home will be employed. and the
wages paid at home will be spent at
home. This is the philosophy of pro-
lection. and it cannot be abandoned,
amended. or abated. Here. in COM
pact form, Is found the reason
for the fact that. in 1899. this
nation was prosperous and her work
inginen had plenty of employment at
good wages, though the volume Of
money was not az large in reality, as
it is at present. Our people must re-
member that. while it is trne that
business cannot be carried on without
money, 1t is not money that makes
business. hut business that makes

While the decision of the Supreme
Court on the income tax case has not
been formally announced, it is under
stood to be both for, and against the
law; for its worst provisions and
against its best. That is, it declares
invalid the tax on income s from rents
and bonds, and valid the tax OH in.
comes, above the specified sum, from
other sources. This exeinpts the very
class the friends of the tax most want.
ed to reach. and places extra burdens
on men engaged in business enterpris
es, professional men, salaried employ
es, etc. In other words. its constitu-
tional halt is infinitely worse than its
unconstitutional whole. Asar revenue
measure It will be wofully disappoint
ing; as a law it is a monumental fraud.
