Effects Of the Mckinley Remedy ~ L.
cally Applied.

eouy APpstcos
Several Of the states are dealing with
the bounty question during this legisr
lative season in a manner 70 serve as .
useful object lesson, whatever may be
the results TO those directly interested.
Nebraska and Wyoming have enacted
laws imposing tax upon all those
subject TO taxation, for the benefit OF
those who raise beets TO be used In
the manufacture OF sugar. The gov.
ernor Of Nebraska did not approve OF
the measure and interposcd his veto;
but the legislature was strongly In
favor of the policy and passed the law
despite executive declaration against
it. Utah Is not yet in the union, but
the time of her admission Is soon at
hand, and she has also provided that
her people must contribute of their
wealth to the support of the sugar
beet raisers.
In Minnesota there was an attempt
TO favor the iron industries under this
same bounty policy. The method pro-
posed was more indirect. the scheme
being TO SO change the constitution of
the state as TO legalize payments from
the treasury for the financial as
sistance Of those engaged in the snelt-
ing and reducing OF iron ores The
strongest point urged in favor Of such
law was that by stimulating these
industries the number of men employed
in them would be largely increased
and the farmers of Minnesota would
have an improved home market for
their products. But the granger Is a
wary statesman where his own inter
ests are at stake. and did not take
kindly TO the plan. As a result. the
repre- sentatives in the legislature from
the agricultural districts defeated the
measure, and the farmers propose to
raise supplies for the market they have
without taking the risks involved in
trying to buy better one
The states first named have practic
ally applied the principles Of protec.
ton within the limits of their own ter
r;torv. The desire to encourage the
infant" industry Of raising sugar
beets causes tax TO be levied upon
farmers who do not cultivate the beet,
upon merchants, ministers. lawyers,
doctors, carpenters, blaclSsmiths. shoe-
makers and all others who are taxed
under the laws of the state. They
must pay tribute to the beet raisers
just as the Mckinley laws forced the
masses to pay tribute to the coal
barons, the oil monopolis's. the beet
trusts, the iron princes. the lumber
kings andsthe others who Were enabled
to amnss fabulous fortunes while the
country and the vast majority OF its
people were being crowded toward
pauperism. The people OF Nebraska
and Wyoming are only taxed to help

country have been taxed to help en-

During a chat with the successful

OF Ellsworth. Me-. q few weeks since.
the conversation centered upon vicious
stations. Mr.. Greedy remarked that he
had owned trotting stations for great
many years, and none OF them ever be-
came vicious under his management
He believes that most of the stations
which are viciouSare made so by rough
treatment. He never fights or clubs
his stations or allows IL to be done by
others. II is very much better not &c

when the stallion Grey Dan was
young, said Mr.. Greedy, 'he was very
tractablc and intelligent. His trainer
could send him across the yard for a
dish or pail, which the horse would
take in his mouth and bring to him as
. dog with stick. One day the trainer
ordered Grey Dan to do something
when the horse was not feeling quite
as pleasant as usual. and he declined &c
obey. The trainer gave the horse q
blow which angered him, and a fierce
battle ensued. From that day The
nature Of Grey Dan seemed changed
