What Shall the Issue BE.

Republicans and Democrats will
soon begin to ask themselves what is
to be the leading issue in 1896? That
question if asked a month or two ago
would have received prompt and de-
cisive answer, and the answer would
be, silver. But the question is not so
easy now. Silver is dropping out OF
sight as disturbing factor. People
are either forgetting all about it, or
are wondering why they were so excit-
ed about it few weeks ago. The
places that knew the silver issue once
will know it no more forever. At least
they will know no more unless some
sort of a business convulsion comes
to propagate another wave of popular
insanity and to give the mountebanks
the ear of the country again.
But parties in Presidential years
must talk about something, and if no
issue frames itself spontaneously one
will have to be framed by the party
managers: The personality of the
candidates can hardly be a sufficient
issue unless in an invidious sense, as
in 1884, when both nominees were inde-
Gently assailed on personal grounds.
The indecency. however. was not quite
so llagrant in 1884 as it was in some
earlier campaigns. Neither Blaine
nor Cleveland was called so many
hard names as was Lincoln. Van Bu-
ren, Jackson, the two Adamses or
Jefferson. But the 1884 mark of sour
rility is not likely to be reached again
in the near future. There has been a
decided Improvement in this respect
over the earlier conditions. and the
improvement will undoubtedly stick.
Aside from silver the tariff is the
the only question that has been
thought of as "a possible issue. and
this may be brought to the front. As
everybody knows, however. that tariff
tinkering disturbs trade. and as trade
has had a surfeit of disturbance in the
past two years. s.the'Republicans will be
backward about re-opening this ques-
ton next year. Probably the question
will figure to some extent in the can
vass. 1t will certainly figure if the
Government income remains short
of its outgo. The bond selling device
will not be continued under Republi-
can sway whatever else happens. If
the revenues continue below the ex-
penditures the Republicans will in
crease them, and. of course the greater
part of such increase would have come
from the custom house. But in any
event tariff contest of the intensity
and picturesqueness known in some
former years need not be looked for
in 1896. -Globe-DemOcrat.

Cleveland is a Candidate.

Public opinion in the East, especial
ly in Washington. has settled down
to the belief that Grover Cleveland is
a candidate for third term. He says
nothing about it to any one, unless it
be his closest political friends: but
more than one OF the latter has ad-
mitted in moments of confidence that
Mr.. Cleveland seeks third term as
the chief executive of the nation.
No Republican will object to having
Mr.. Cleveland get nomination next
year. because it is perfectly certain
that he is by no means strong enough
to break down the precedent set by
Washington, and followed ever since.
He is by no means so great man as
General Grant, nor tithe as popular:
yet Grants third term Aspirations
were defeated, not because of his per-
sonal unpopnlarity with his party,
but because the ''anti-third term sem
timent of the country was so over
whelming.
Cleveland is not strong with his own
party, nor can he count on any sup
port from Republicans. In point of
fact, there is large Democratic ele-
ment which bitterly antagonizes him.
A Washington special says on this
point:
A great many Democrats here and
elsewhere are devoutedly hoping that
Cleveland will try it again" They
are those whose loyalty to their chief
has falleninto ''innocuous desuetude. :"
They hate him. He has ignored them.
They want revenge and they say that
nothing will so keenly satisfy them as
to see Cleveland ''try it again" The
latter expressions are due do the fact
that Cleveland would, in the event of
trying it again." suffer defeat of
such proportions as to make the mag
nitude of his victory in 1892 sink into
insignificance.
BY all means let Mr.. Cleveland cap
ture the Democratic national conven-
tion next.year, through Mr.. Whitney's
tactics, as was done in 1892. The peo-
pie of the country will drop Mr.. Cleve-
land with such ''jounce" as will make
his eyeballs jingle.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, July 10.
The State Board of Equalization
has begun to take up the assessment
of railroad property in the State. The
action of the board has thus far been
informal. and is subject to change at
any time before final adjournment In
the matter of buildings on the right
of way, which includes depots, water
tanks and turn-ta 5les. it is proba BILE
that the informal action of the board
will stand.
The board finished it's consideration
of railroad buildings Monday. There
was general raise all along the line,
and while the exact figures have not
been announced most of the members
of the board agree that they will show
an increase of from s400, 900 to $3.50, 900
over last year. The total last year
was S1.645, 92O.

Another reason is that men are en-
gagged in business transactions, and
by the constant use of their personal
property have at no time much that
can be taxed, as it is tied up with OBJ
legations. The widow of this man
very seldom continues in business,
and her person al property is assessed

Free trade has not aided the pros
perity of the English farming constit-
uency. An article in the July num-
Der of the North American Review fur
nishes some interesting statistics bear
ing on the matter. There are 45 mil
lion acres of tillable land in the Brit
ish Isles. and the average yield is 2s
bushels per acre, as compared with
1913 bushels in the United States. Yet
at the time free trade was established
in Great Britain, % per cent of the
population were fed on English wheat,
while in 1890 the crop supplied only
20 per cent of her people. The growth
of population is the smaller factor in
this decrease: the difference is mainly
because of the decline in area sown.
This year the British wheat area is but
little over q million acres, while fifty
years ago it was three and half
million acres.

The Kentucky Populists adopted a
platform which calls for free and un-
limited silver coinage: denounces the
gold bugs, Republicans, Great Britain,
bonds. Democrats, hard times and
other things: calls for more green
backs and reasserts the Omaha plat
form. One of the many absurdities of
Populism is the demand for unlimited
silver coinage, and also for green
backs. If the fiat of the government
gives value, why put any silver at all
in the dollar: But not no Populist
seems to have intelligence enough to
see even SO plain proposition as this,

THE FRUIT CROP.
In Some Respects Growers Are Dis

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. July 1.-THE
American Agriculturist will publish
this week the result of an elaborate
inquiry throughout the United States
and Canada into the condition of the
fruit crop of 1895. 1t will say:
with some exceptions the condition
of the fruit crops the 1st of July is
proving great disappointment to
growers. The consolation is that it
might have been much worse. and in
fact at one time promised to be a gen.
eral, if not universal. failure. What
ever of actual shortage is finally de-
termined must be charged primarily
to untimely frosts last May, followed
by subsequent drought in many States.
I'm most of the Northern and

shortage is visible, and in many
counties certain varieties are com

TAXES OF RICH MEN.
List of the New Workers Who Pay
on Personality.

List of the New Workers who Pay
on Personality.
There are only about $4,000 tax-pay-
ers in the city who pay personal tax.
So far as real estate assessments are
concerned it is difficult to determine
the amount of property on which GER
tain persons are assessed, for the as
sessment is made on the property and
not in the name of the owner. In the
case of personal assessments, however,
there can be no mistake. for the books
show Just how much personality the
Tax Commissioners have determined
certain individuals shall pay tax on.
The list obtained from the tax rolls
for 1895 will give new idea to the
general public of the charactes of the
wealth of the city's representative
wealthy men.
They may be surprised when they
read that Mayor Strong, who is class
ed among the millionairs. pays tax on
only $4,000 of personal property:
that Gov. Morton and William c.
Whitney, two other millionairs, are
assessed on but S5O.OO0 each; that the
Vanderbuilts and the Goulds are as
sessed only on hundreds of thousands
of dollars, while the AstOrs pay on
millions. In the list they will read
names which they never before had
heard of and wonder why it is that
these persons are assessed forsO much
more than well-known millionairs like
Andrew Carnegie.
PRINCIPAL TAXPAYERS.

pal payers of personal tax in this city.
