THE VERY BEST TAX.
A TEXT TAKEN FROM WASHINGTON's
FAREWELL ADDRESS,.

Taxes Necessary In Some Shape To Pro-
vide Revenue Protective Tariff the
Highest Form of Taxation-A Prosper
GUS People Doesn't Feel It's burdens.
"We cannot have revenue unless we
have taxes" said Washington in his
farewell address This does not need
the stan p of Washington approval to
make it pass current. 1t is self evident.
We must have taxes-taxes raised some
how, paid by some one. We might
have direct tax and collect from every
adult citizen or every citizen entitled to
vote specific sum. What popular tax
that would be! We wonder it has not
been suggested by our free trade friends,
1t is quite in accordance with their
theories. Even the income tax would
have to take back seat. We might
raise taxes in dozen different ways,
but it is perfectly obvious that the best
form of taxation is that which will be
least felt by the people. Let us suppose
for moment that the protective tariff
is a tax and look at it entirely from
that point of view. Has any method of
taxation ever been discovered, or invent.
ed, which bears so lightly on the peo-
pie? Why, one of the worst things
about the protective tariff, according to
our free trade friends, is that the people
don't know they are taxed by it. Could
they say more in its favor as system
Of taxation? Could any system Of taxa
ton bear more lightly than that?
But it is no wonder that the protect
i've tariff rests so lightly on the Ameri-
can people, for it is paid in most cases
by the foreign producers and not by the
American people. Who can doubt that
this is so in view of the fact that the
price of every kind of product has drop
ped under a protective tariff Take
steel rails for instance, or tin plate In
the last 90 years steel rails have dropped
from more than $40 per ton to 500 or
less per ton, and the drop in the price
Of tin plate during the same time has
been proportionately as great. These
are only samples. They illustrate only
what has taken place in a greater or
less degree in every industry. 1t would
be as hard as hunting for needle in q
haystack to find any product whose
price has been raised by the protective
tariff. There is no doubt about 1.-THE
protective tariff system is the most won
derful system ever devised by the mind
OF man. Not only does it supply reve-
nue. sufficient to meet the tremendous
expenses Of carrying on this great gov
eminent without laying any burden of
taxation on the people, but, besides all
that, it creates and builds up new in
dustries; it establishes new enterprises;
it provides work for millions Of Ameri-
can wage eayners and it brings prosperi-
ty to the whole American people.

McKinlcy.s Definition.

What is protective tariff? 1t is a
tariff upon foreign imports so adjusted
as to secure the Bncessary revenue, and
judiciously imposed upon those foreign
products the like of which are produced
at home or the like of which we are Ca
pable Of producing at home. 1t imposes
the duty upon the competing foreign
product; it makes it bear the burden OF
duty, and. as far as possible, luxuries
only excepted, permits the noncompet-
ing foreign product to come in free of
duty. Articles of common use. comfort
and necessity, which we cannot produce
here, it sends to the people untaxed and
free from custom house exactions. -

Prizes For Railway Truclsmen.
Especial Correspondence


CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The Wabash rail-
road some time ago adopted device for
encouraging its track foremen to do
their best to keep the track in good con-
dition. 1t offered prizes of $50 and $25
each to the foremen for the best and
next best showing at the annual track
inspection. The object of this was to
prevent accidents, and the managers of
the road say they have received more
than the value of the prizes every year
in additional protection to the COM
pany's property and to the lives of trav-
elers and employees. The amount paid
out in prizes recently was 81, 020. The
points covered in the competition are
drainage, policing, sidings, line and
surface level, joints, ties and switches.
Some English railroads offer prizes to
station masters for the best kept station
gardens.
The prize system usually brings a
great many times the value Of the in
vestment. GEORGE GRAHAM.

Cotton Mills West and South.
Especial Correspondence.1

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26-New England
cotton manufacturers are arranging for
a cotton mill i'll this city. The idea Of
making cotton goods near the source Of
the raw material is not new. Some
years ago Georgia capitalists built cot
ton factories at Augusta, utilizing fine
water power, and these mills have been
prosperous st. Louis is the distributing
point for most of the cotton crop of Ar
kansas and Texas, and about one-half
the cotton used in New England mills
passes through this city. A large
part of this cotton, of course, comes
back to st. Louis in the form of cloth.
1t seems wasteful to pay freight on the
cotton from st. Louis to New England
and freight ON the cotton cloth from
New England to st. Louis when all the
facilities for manufacturing cotton goods
can be found here. Labor here is as
cheap as in New England. 1t is much
cheaper in Georgia, where negro hands
are employed. Coal is to be had from
mines just across the river, in Illinois.
Local capitalists, however, have hest
tated to go into the enterprise alone;
but, through the Business Men s league,
they have intimated q Willingness to
put up $25, 900 if some experienced
manufacturers will put up like
amount. They will give also 80 acre
site. Now ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are coming
here from New England to look over the
ground. 1t is expected that the new
mill will employ 1900 men. 1t may
cheaper cotton goods in the southwest,
and possibly it will be the first Of
series of elements disturbing to the in.
dustries of New England.

Columbus relied to keep him and his
fellow pirates from starving. So, having
an "Old farmers Almanac" with him
and perceiving by the tables that "about
this time" they might expect an eclipse
of the moon, he returned to his cabin to
commune with the god of storms. When
he came out, he told the chief, or Ca
Clique, of the Indians that the Great
Spirit was very much offended at the
lack of yams and bananas, and in con-
sequence was going to quench the light
of the moon. And, sure enough, just as
he ceased speaking the moon went into
cloud, and the Indians set up howl
of terror and alright, not that they
cared much for moonlight strolls, ETC.,
but they had no other light by night,
gas being so high they couldn't afford it
and the electric dynamos all burned out.
They came to terms just in the nick
of time, for moment after they had
agreed to furnish the provisions the
eclipse was over, and Columbus "saved
his bacon" The .Spaniards returned the
favor after the manner of the times by
running off lot of the Indians to Haiti,
where they sold them as slaves, and car
rying away all the handsomest of the
Indian maidens.
All this happened in the year 1904,
but tradition has preserved full &C
count Of the proceedings, and it was
only last week that I took salt water
dip in Columbus cove, where the dis
coverer lived so many months in huts of
straw erected over the decks of his cara
wells. O. A. FURBER.
