TAXES ZOO HIGH NOW.
AVID YET The MuHLEYITE5
WOULD ADD TO TIE BURDEN

Reduction OF Expenses IN All
Branches OF Public Service, and
Not Increased Customs Receipts,
As What is Needed by the O,OOO,-
600 Americans.
The McKinleyiloa say they want
more protection 90 that the tariff will
Yield enough revenue for the expenses
OF tho Government They forget that
there was q much better and easier
way Of making receipts and expondi-
lures balance. This was the cutting
down Of tho extravagant nppropria.
tions from the figures set by the Bill.
lion Dollar Congress Of 1890. and
which the subsequent Democratic
Congress reduced a little, but not
enough. II the Republicans had been
sincere in their professions Of q desire
to have O tariff which will give album
dant revenues, they should have re-
fused to appropriate millions Of dol.
lars for useless an1 corrupt purposes.
Reduction OF expenses, and not in
creased customs receipts, was the sure
and simple remedy for the Treasury
deficit.
It Is time for the American people,
without regard 10 party or theories OF
taxation, 10 earnestly protest against
any increase in the public burdens,
National, State and municipal taxes
are already far too high, and the ten
dency has steadily been In the direc-
ton Of greater extravaganza and new
armies of tax eaters. Salaries Of pub.
lie Officials have been advancing oil
along the line, though money has O
greatly increased purchasing power,
and buys twice as much OF most kinds
OF goods as it did twenty years ago.
The wealth creators Of the country are
supporting fer too many Office holding
parasites, who give little or no return
to the men who pay taxes
Taxes means work. Over 81, 000-'
100000 goes every year to pay ex
penses OF the municipal, State and
National Governments A large part
of this immense sum is practically
wasted. The labor which goes to pro
duce this $1,000, 100000 worth o.
wealth is 80 much poorer by every
dollar for which it does not receive (
full equivalent. Is it any wonder thai
the people cannot buy back as mucl
goods as they produce, when so much
of their products is taken to support
non-producers?
1t is unfortunately strue that politi
clans of all parties are inclined t
favor big appropriations; but the cen
tire of the evil lies in she projections
theory that tariff taxes are paid by th
foreigner, and that, any way, extrava
gance in spending public funds viii
justify higher duties on goods the PEG
pie buy from other countries. Ever,
citizen who thinks he is already pay
ing too much taxes should vote agalns
McKinleyism and it's threat of NOR
tariff taxation. Greater economy ar,
less taxes are what the 10000, 900 0
Americans really need.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
The Industrial Situation as Reported
for the Past Week,

The Industrial Situation as Reported
for the Past Week.
Reports as 10 southern industrial
conditions during the past week indi-
cate that ia some sections business is
decidedly active, while in other parts
Of the south it continues quiet, as is
usual at this season.
The dizziness in the iron and steel
market has brought a slightly lower
average OF prices, and buyers are
evincing but little interest as TO re-
duirements. The action Of the st.
Louis convention will strengthen the
market and bring a largely increased
demand for iron. The Birmingham
furnaces are in full blast with prices
nominally unchanged, but the output
still exceeds the demand.
There is no material change in the
lumber trade. The volume of business
is fairly good, but q number of mills
have decided TO run on short time until
the foil trade opens
Textile manufacturers are also cur
failing production in accordance with
an agreement made at the meeting
held in Atlanta last month. This in
dustry shows little activity except in
the matter OF mill building and en-
largements.
Among the most important new in
dustries established or incorporated
| during the week are The La Grange
Ice and Cold Storage company, CAPT
tai $50, 900, La Grange, Tex. I; the

napolis. Why he left Princeton does not
appear. but 1t looks much as though the
college drew away from him" In the Ian
guage of today.
1t was not until 1902 that Old Nassau was
again to be subjected to severe test
Then for the first time the college authori-
ties were in difficulty with the students
over questions of discipline. An open
break was Imminent. On March 6. 1892,
Nassau Hall was completely Quilted by
fire. A thorough investigation failed to
show incendiarism, but it is strongly sus-
pected that some students were at the
bottom of the affair. 1t was with refer
ence to this incident that Washington r.
wing. when travelling through Princeton
four years later. jotted down in his note
book, with characteristic humor: Prince
oE-college-students famous for their love
of a jest-set the college on fire and burned
out the professors; an excellent joke. but
not worth repeating"
A students' War.
In 1907 the students openly revolted
from the faculty, and Nassau Hall was
again made a fortress, this time by the
students. who stocked it with provisions.
barricaded doors and windows. and settled
to resist long siege. How long the pres
ident and tutors were excluded from their
proper realm history does not tell, but the
faculty triumphed, and a large number of
the students were suspended or expelled.
Fire again visited the historic structure
In 1850. but those old walls. built with a
provincial honesty, have shown themselves
proof against fire and bombardment. and
where today they are not covered with the
class fvies they appear compact ard firm
enough to outlive another century and a
half. Surrounded by SO many buildings of
modern construction and equipment Old
Nassau has almost outlived it's usefulness
as dormitory, and it is now almost wholly
given over to the geological museum and
laboratory. But those portions of history
which have been enacted within and
around its walls give to the old building
an interest of it's own, wholly independent
Of anything which 1t may contain.

The Honest Shakers and
Their Cure for Dyspepsia.

The shopkeeper who cheats Us by lying with

However, tteir knavery touches nothing but our
pocket book. There II another Widespread form Of
Misrepresentation of q fhr more dangerous and

We refer to the false statements and worthless
guarantees that frequently accompany medicines
To guarantee a medicine to cure Is to brand 1t us
queck product. II we can guarantee to cure dis
ease, then guarantee everlasting life, for in
large majority Of cases people die of disease the
proportion Of violent crnaecidental deaths being
very small. 81
The Shakers have always been known as a most
upright snd honorable people. and their success In
the manufacture of medicines has also been well
known. 1t is therefore not surprising to lind them
pursuing very original and novel plan for the
introduction Of their remedy for dyspepsia.
These God fearing people, whose motto has always
been, TRY all things, and told fast that which is
good have put upon the market ten-cent sample
bottles of their product, sufficient to give it
trial.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The Illinois Central train was half hun
bred miles from Chicago, headed for the
city, and at a little station an old farmer
came aboard. He was a little weakened
man. with a sensitive mouth half conceal
ed by an iron-gray beard. His ill-fitting
clothes were evidently his most uncom-
Portable best. He slid softly into seat
occupied by a grave stranger, reading a
newspaper. Two, three times the old man
turned his face toward the brown flying
landscape. The stranger was struck with
the troubled expression, and glanced visit
fully at his companion.
The latter spoke at last with a strange
huskiness in his voice:
Il am going to the city for the second
time in my life" he said, half startled by
his own words.

He Had Learned His Lcsson.

From elc st. Louis Republic.
white-haired old lady who lives in the
West End has more reasons than one to
bless the bath tub. She has grandson
who is the apple of her eye. The little fell
low, who has not yet rounded out his fourth
summer, has been the special care and pet
of his grandmother. Among the lessons she
has given the promising scion of her fam
lily is that Of the movements IN swimming,
and these lessons he mas received in the
family bath tub One day last week the
little chap fell into the -cistern. The terror
stricken grandmother was alone at the
time, and in her fright knew not whether
to run to a neighbours for assistance, dread
ing to leave the baby to his probable fate.
But the child kept himself afioat by means
of the movements learned in the hath tub.
I'm all right, grandma; I'm playing the
way you told me-" This gave the lady
courage to hasten for help. and when it
was secured the brave child was still keep

his timely lessons. And now the proud
grandmother smiles and talks about an
