PROPOSED CHANGE AT THE KANSAS
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Commenting on recent changes in the
personnel Of the faculty at our State
Agricultural College, the Kansas
Farmer adds: "If the change in the
college were but one of personnel, it
would be one Of consequence to indivld-
uals, but Of little moment to the State.
Until>a few years ago the couroe of
instruction was confined to the elements
OF good English education, including a
liberal introduction to physical sciences
and a little Of psychology and related
subjects, Recently there has been in
structi on in economic science, an innova-
tion which met with considerable
criticism when made. 1t has been held
that the productive powers Of the
people, their mastery over the physical,
has grown faster than has their knOwl-
edge of the relations of mankind in
society-that the knowledge of produc-
tion has developed out Of proportion to
the knowledge Of equitable distribution
and enjoyment, The study of the science
of economics is to be greatly enlarged at
Manhattan. The old, which gave at
tention to the education which produces
efficiency in production, is to be supple
mented in the new by greater attention
to the study Of the relations of society,
OF citizenship, to the end that the
graduate may be not only an efficient
producer but also efficient in the con-
sideration of problems of economics; that
the education which adds to the efficiency
Of the student as producer shall also
take care Of his ability to hold his own
in the contest for the possession of values
produced. The Regents state their in
tention to make the college greater in
the characteristics which have hereto
lore made 1t great, and to make it great
also in the study Of the problems of
society"

HOW TO PUT FARMERS EVEN WITH
MANUFACTURER WITHOUT AN
EXPORT ROUNTY.

In our last issue, discussing the pro
posed export bounty on agriculture
products and opposing it, the ADVOCATE
promised to show, this week, how farm
ers may be put even with manufacturers
in tariff legislation without any export
bounty on farm products. And we
make the promise good now by present
ing the plan proposed by Senator PETER
when the tariff bill was under discussion
in the Senate in 1894.
First. Admit, free of duty, common
cloth and clothing, shoes, hats, gloves,
farm implements and machinery, COM
mon grades of carpetlng, building tools
and hardware, and every other necessary
article in general use among the work
ing people OF the country, including
sugar, salt, lumber and coal. The
farmer has to compete with foreign
labor; so has the wage worker. This
plan would bring all classes Of our peo-
pie to the same level 80 far as tariff tax
alton Of necessaries is concerned,
Second. - Impose heavy duties on
liquors, tobacco, fine dress goods, laces,
embroidery, sporting articles, high. priced
clothing, fancy goods of all kinds-in
short, everything that may be classified
as luxuries and used only by the fastid-
ious and rich.
Third Levy an excise tax of 50
barrel on beer. (The present tax is 81 a
barrel
Fourth,-In lieu of the graduated in.
come tax provided for in the PETER bill,
and because the courts have held the
income tax to be in violation of the con.
Of the United States, lay
graduated tax on landed estates valued
at $4,000 and upward, apportioned &C.
cording to population among the several
States, as provided in the constitution.
Fifth. Provide for any deficit in rev.
enues, not exceeding so million dollars
annually, by an issue Of full legal tender
paper money.

THE DEBs COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT.
paper money,

Mr.. Debs and his associates have un-
dertaken to solve the labor problem by
cooperative colonization. They propose
to settle on public lands in one of the
new States Utah, probably-in colonies
of 1900 or more persons, and to add to
the aggregate number as fast as may be
found practicable.
1t is intended to make the scheme
practically, as well as theoretically, CO.
operative; that the colonies shall work
and live on the communal plan-that
each shall work for all and all for each.
Having satisfied himself that the COM
petitive system is destructive and cannot
be maintained il popular liberty is to
be enjoyed, he expects to discard the
idea OF competition in labor while at the
same time encouraging individual effort
in every way that experience may prove
to be for the general welfare.
1t is expected that out of the large
number Of idle people in the country,
not long time viii be required to col
lect enough settlers TO control the poll
tics Of the State, and when that period
is reached laws will be SO amended and
construed as to put the State, and the
counties and cities and other municipal
tiles into ownership and management Of
all public franchises.

That the tariff is a tax all men are
agreed. The only question in dispute
about the proposition has been-Who
pays the tax? And this question is now
practically settled by the simple propo-
sition that when the people Of the i'm

any article by their own production, as
nails, in our case, the producer Of the
imported article pays the tax on it; but

IT the doctrine OF tariff for protection
with incidental revenue is to prevail,
there is nothing unreasonable in farmers
demanding an export bounty; but the
better doctrine is to impose duties on

The proposition to impose q duty on
raw cotton imported into the United

that it is new departure, that cotton

but q small quantity Of it, as sugar, in
our case, the consumer pays the tax. As
to articles which are produced TO greater
or less extent than is suggested in this
proposition, the tax falls proportionately
on the producer or the consumer as he
produces more or less of the particular
article.
But as to who would have to pay an
export bounty, there is no question
about it. Every dollar of the bounty
comes out of the treasury of the country
which pays it. Senator Cannon esti.
mates that S48,0O00OO would be required
to pay the proposed bounty according to
the provisions Of his amendment. That
amount would be cash-a payment di-
rectly from the treasury, and it is pro-
posed to raise the money by taxation of
imported sugar and clothing and q thou
sand other articles, which tax falls
heavier on the farmer and wage worker
than on any other classes. You tax the
farmer S5 on his sugar and clothing and
give him back 81 to pay him for voting
the tariff ticket and keeping his mouth
shut.
Our present yearly consumption of
sugar is about 1000 million pounds.
Oh this we produce about 500 million
pounds-not enough to materially affect
the price, which is fixed by the foreign
article. The average price of the for
eign sugar is-say cents pound. Add
to that the duty of-sGy IL cents a
pound; to that add cost of transporta-
tion, insurance, handling, forwarding,
ETC., and we have A cents to 5 cents, ac-
cording to grade, by the time it reaches
the farmers table. If sugar we're ad.
mitted free it would cost us IA cents
pound less than it now does under the
present tariff, and IL to 2 cents less
than it will under the rate proposed in
the Dingley bill.
The average consumption Of sugar is
fifty to sixty.fve pounds year to the
head of population. Say the average
'amily uses $50 pounds. At IL cents a
pound tax we have $3.75 as one family's
share Of the sugar duty. Put the aver
'ge family yearly consumption of woolen
FOODS at 800, The duty on these goods
will average at least 60 per cent. Of their
'ost. The clothing tax for the family
would be $50. Tableware, cutlery, shoes
md other items-all taxed by import
luties-would swell the average family
ak to $75 year by reason Of import
Iuties imposed on the articles men
ioned.
These tariff taxes are all paid in the
irst instance by the persons importing
hem, who are reimbursed by increase
t price to be paid by the final pur-
haser according to the rule above given.
The export bounty is paid out of the
eneral revenue fund. Say the average
armer exports $50 worth of his prod
cts, and that he receives a bounty Of 20
er cent. on it. That would give him
10. He pays $75 as his share OF the
ariff tax, and receives $40 as his share
{ the bounty, leaving him S65 outin the
nd.
Put it in any form, under the present
ystem, and the import duty will cost

wrought up over the KIDNAPPING OF young

daughter of Quong Sue, a fisherman, went
to a nearby hydrant for bucket of water
shortly afer s O'clock. She was seized
by three Mongols, gagged and thrown
into wagon waiting near by and driven
off in the direction of Monterey. The
few who saw the occurrence were, they
say, too frightened TO interfere, but gave
the alarm as soon as the abductors had
gotten safely away.
A search was set afoot and the father OF
the cir! came 10 Pacific Grove to notify

with the f4cts until this morning. No
trace of the men and their prize has
been found. Local Cinnamon are greatly

was instigated by one of the rival Chinese
companies.
