Alleged REFoRNs IN ARMENIA.


Alleged REFORMS IN ARMENIA.
A pamphlet written 10y Col. Lazareff,
a Russian officer. who has recently
made an investigation of the Turkish
system Of grinding the Impoverished
people OF Armenia through taxation
gives a very clear insight into the
Urecaed condition of the Armenians.
There Is q head tax for relief from NIL
i.ary service. amounting to about $3.50
per year. which is imposed upon every
member Of the family. including women
and children, aged and crippled alike.
Inability To- pay this tax is punished
by logging and the Imprisonment of
the head Of the family and by the con-
6sca,lon OF his goods. which generally
consist Of nothing more than a COW,
or q few sheep Land is taxed between
ST and SIS per acre, according to value,
i1 addition TO oae-eighth Of the value
Of The harvest Every orchard IS taxed
S22 per year, and also each tree con-
tanned therein. A hay tax, a sheep tax,
cottage taxes. stable taxes, per capita
TAX lor the maintenance Of roads, for
resses and barracks, and numberless
taxes upon every conceivable occupation
swell the list Of Armenia's burdens.
Besides an these are excise and ocroi
taxes covering every article of con-
sumption as well as the detestable cor
wee. The Mohammedan Kurds, need
less TO say. are exempt from nearly
all of these imp0s-s. They pay a tax
ON only one-third Of their sheep, which
constitute practically the whole Of their
movable property, and are permitted
to make their own returns to the asses
sor.
Considering the low value Of crops
and land in these inaccessible regions.
and the losses from Kurdish brigand-
age, the taxes wrUng from the miser-
able ArmeIia1s are In effect confsca-
tory. The system seems designed TO
ruin and s-arve out the oppressed Chris
tian subjects Of the Porte. and renders
the recourse to- massacre as a means Of
eAte-mina loD an entirely needless SUI
peraddad measure of cruelty. This

The Boss CrOaker,

The Alexandria Town Talk has degen.
Grated into chronic croaker. Under
the query "Where is That WaveP" il
says:
The great prosperity wave that the
goldbugs say is sweeping over the coun-
try, hasn't reached Rapides parish, and
from what Town Talk can learn it hasn't
reached any of the Southern or Western
States. There can be no genuine pros
perity when the money of the country is
being contracted daily. It takes money
to make business, and if money is not
made and put into circulation there can't
be any good times. The best way to set
the wheels of business in motion ia To
open the mints of this country, 80 that
silver can be coined into dollars, half
dollars, quarters and dimes. II this
money is minted, rest assured it will be
put into circulation. Silver is a money
that always circulates.
Go soak your head. Mack; then get
bored for the simples. If, as you con-
tend, the silver controversy and lack OF
money has putdown the price of products,
pray tell us what has put prices up with
IN the past six months? We hold that
it was the good sense and patriotism of
the Cleveland administration, which has
prevented you and other silver lunatics
from debasing the currency and entirely
destroying confidence and credit. In
answer to your question. we will say that
the wave of prosperity is now here, and
no amount of croaking can keep the peo-
pie from seeing it. Brainy, earnest and
honorable men told us it was coming
two years, ago. but it seems they were
over sanguine, and the delay was longer
than was anticipated. That is all.

The Rise In Cotton.

The past sixty days have Witnessed the
most steady and persistent rise in cotton
that has occurred in any season for twenty
years. The fortunate part of the transac-
ton in this case is that the rise came in
time to be of benefit to the producer.
All told. counting the small rise in the
early summer, middling cotton Ii now
about 4 cents pound higher than it was
last winter. The market quotations, as
reported by the New Orleans cotton ex-
change. are "A f0llowa.

Agriculture in other Countries,

The rapid advances made by the
agriculturalists of other countries,

the officials of the Agricultural De-

The agent of the McC ormick Har-
vester Company, now in Russia, q
gentleman of intelligence and ex-
perience, writes me that he has
seen crops of Is and 100 bushels
of wheat to the acre thrashed out

such a yield here? See what Ar
gentina is doing. A report dated
July II, has reached the Depart
ment from Buenos Ayres, stating
that upon the basis of the figures
for the first six months of this year,
Argentina will send, in 1896, $780,
600 head of beef cattle alone to
Europe. Accompanying this was

has reached the seaboard or point
where it can be loaded on ocean
vessels, a pretty penny has been
added to the cost of production in
the freight paid for its transporta-
ton by railroads"
"Only to-day" continued the
Secretary, "a Mr.. Festherstone, a

The editor of the Peoples Demands
went home sick last week. He informed
us that his liver was out of order, and
this we suppose accounts for sundry IL
belous and bilious illusions in his last is-
sue. We notice he allowed himself or
some one else to revamp that stale old
lie about the parish printing costing SIG
. year more than was legal and proper.
He ought to have had the grand jury in
vestigate the matter. If he really believes
any such thing. He also accuses us of
not reporting the result of the late Popu-
lite primary election correctly. Well, we
got our figures directly from him, and if
there is any error he is responsible for it.
We notice, however, that he does not
give the result, in figures, and the only
data that we have on the subject is the
statement that the executive committee
makes, that the election went in favor of
primaries by 159 majority. Therefore,
we reiterate our figures az about correct,
viz: That only about 275 votes were cast,
and of these fully 100 were negroes: If
the Demands has any more correct fig.
ures than these it should give them, 80
the public may know how far wrong we
are. If wrong at all. We hope the. editor
OF the Demands will be in better trim
after week of, and be able to tell some
good healthy yarns on his own account,
without having to resort to the rehashing
OF old. threadbear and infamous lies of
somebody else in order to fill his columns
with pabulum suitable for the average
calamity bowler.
