Death of the Grown Prince of Japan.

Death OF the Crown Prince kof Japan.
San Francisco, March 22.-Captain
S. A. Day, United States army, late
commandant at Fort Mason, this city,
and more recently OF Fort Candy,
Wash, who has just returned from a
several months stay in Japan on the
steamer Peru, says that the crown
prince Of Japan is dead, and that the
sad event was being openly discussed
in diplomatic circles, although at the
same time the news was state secret
and was kept from the public.
The heir apparent to the Japanese
throne, according TO Captain Day,
passed away at one of the palaces Of
the royal family between Yokohama
and Kioto several days before the sail
ing Of the Peru, but for various reasons
the fact has not been publicly an.
nounoed as yet. Japan has just recov-
cred from q month of mourning over
the death of the empress dowager, dur
ing which period business was sus-
pended and festivities Of all kinds
avoided. To infiict the whole empire
with another siege Of grief and mourn
ing at this time has been deemed inad-
visable, and for that reason, so the story
goes, the death Of the crown prince Is
being kept secret for the time being.
Captain Day said it was reported in
Yokohama that the death of the crown
prince had completely prostrated the
emperor, whose health has net been
good Qt late.

REDU ING TAXES

Is matter more easy to talk about than
to have accomplished. And yet there
is an absolute necessity to cut down
local taxation. In fact it has got to
come and the sooner we meet it fairly
and squarely the better.
Many Of our friends talk of appealing
to and calling upon the General AS.
sembly for measures of relief. The
General Assembly may refer us to the
fact that local taxation is mainly under
the control of the local authorities and
no additional legislation is required
thereunto. The County Commissioners,
Township Trustees, Municipal authori.
ties, Board of Education, etc., each in its
sphere, have the power to fix the rates
OF the leVies respectively.
These authorities have also the dis.
bur ing Of these funds thus levied and
obtained. The state levy for state pur-
poses is under the state authorities of
course, but all the others enumerated
above are controlled as stated. No
doubt, in order to reduce the taxes, a
reduction of expenditures will have to
be considered, and however disagreeable
it may be in the present condition of
things, it will have to be met, and that
soon. The safety and welfare of the
people must be cared for.
The change in values of all kinds, and
in business as well, during the last few
years, have brought people formerly in
comfortable circumstances, down to the
hardest kind Of hard pan. Much suffer.
ing has prevailed and does yet, owing to
these disturbances and to lack of en-
ployment and reduction in wages and

incomes. During this period few have
escaped realizing the pressure of the
times, thus showing the connection in
our social conditions.
All these references show the absolute
necessity of retrenchment and of ad.
justing means to ends and cutting down
taxes is of paramount Importance.
Direct taxation should obtain from all
property its proper share. No property
should escape, for otherwise, the rest
pays more than their just share. Hence
the care that should be taken to get all
property on the duplicate. Much injus.
tice has been done owing to failure in
this. Every effort ought to be made to
equalize burdens.
Equalizing texation applies with
equal force to the tariff duties levied
upon imports by the general govern.
ment for the purpose of revenue. We
never could see the proprlety Of so ar
ranging these tariff levies as to benefit
some and burden the rest of the commu
nifty with these exactions. And certain
ly, we have been unable to see the
equity in the United States supreme
court three years ago bya vote Of 5 to 4,
declaring an income tax unconstitu-
tional, when such tax thirty years ago
was not called in question, and never
was until our millionaire class became so
powerful in controlling public affairs.
In this brief article we have only
touched upon a few points, with view
of calling attention thereto. Doubtless
our friends have thought over these
matters and have felt the need of taking
steps looking to improvement. Such
steps cannot be taken too soon.

Republican gold organs are harpinp

parity between the precious metals, gold
and silver. The parity only applies to
coinage and is fixed by law, and our law
says ofgold to l6 of silver, no matter
where the metals go or how they rate in
the market. Up to 1873 silver as bul.
lion rated as rule over gold at the
ratio, and but for the villainous, rascalIy
war made upon silver, at the dictation
of European bondholders, generally
English Jewish lords, silver would hold
its parity today as metal. The Re.
publican party endorses all this ras-
cality.

DOLLAR WHEAT AND LABOR,

1t is easy to understand the enthusi.
asm of bull spectators, Of brokers and
of commission dealers, over the fact
that wheat has touched the dollar mark
and is likely to go higher. Spectators
make money by buying for a rise; con-
sequently high and still higher prices
mean prosperity for them. Brokers
and commission dealers are paid per-
centage upon their transactions; con-
sequently high prices mean prosperity
for them. But what basis is there for
the notion that labor is benefited :?
What occasion is there for workingmen
to rejoice over dollar wheat9
1t is true that dollar wheat might
imply industrial prosperity, under
some circumstances. If that high price

siShihou HiBuor PuICiidSiuS pOWof
by farmers as farmers,-by farmers,
that is to say, in virtue of their labor
in producing crops as distinguished
from their shrewdness or luck in hold
ing back their crops from market--and
if it were permanent in character, then
all labor would be benefited by the
high price, and all workingmen from
the farmer to the factory hand, would
have reason to rejoice. For In that
case the high price of wheat would
mean that farmers were prospering at
the expense of monopoly; and mas.
much as the different forms of labor
are practically interchangeable, it
would mean that all labor was prosper
ing at the expense of monopoly. To
put the proposition in economic phrase,
it would mean that economic wages"
had risen and economic rent had
fallen.
But the present rise in the price of
wheat has no such meaning. 1t is
caused by temporary scarcity. The
wheat fields of India and Europe, from
which the world has been accustomed
to draw some of its wheat supply, yield
short crops this year, and an extraor-
dinary demand is therefore made upon
the product of this country. 1t is for
that reason that the owners of our
wheat crop are able to realize upwards
of$l bushel. They realize it, how
ever, not as compensation for work,
but as a lucky prize. This is obvious
in the case of the speculator The pro-
fit that he makes out of the high price
of wheat is made because he has the
shrewdness or luck to own wheat when
wheat is scarce. If the same thing is
not so obvious in the case of the far
mer, it is because we neglect to distin-
guish the farmers character as labor
er from his character as an accumula-
tor of wheat-as a speculator. 1t is as
a shrewd or lucky speculator in wheat,
who has held his crop out of the mar
ket, and not as a la5orer at farming,
that such farmers-as profit by 81 wheat
will have done so.
That this is true may be shown by a |
simple test. The farm hand, who is a |
laborer pure and simple, is no richer in
consequence of dollar wheat. His
wages have not advanced. And in SO
far as he takes wheat for home con-
sumption in settlement of his wages,
his wages will have declined. Dollar
wheat makes the farm hand poorer, not
richer.
And as with the farm hand, so with
all other laborers. Dollar wheat, made
so by scarcity, is no boon to the coal
miner. He is not an accumulator
of and speculator in wheat; he is con-
sumer of wheat To him, therefore,
dollar wheat which does not mean
higher wages for wheat producers as
producers, is a curse instead of bless
ing. He must either eat some
thing inferior to wheat, or sweat the
more. 1t is even so with factory
hands, with store clerks, with railroad
with laborers of every varie-
ty and in every field, and with the
farmer himself who has not been
enough or lucky enough to be
a speculator as well as farmer.
To the laborer, dollar wheat under
present circumstances, is an indication
not of prosperity but of harder times.
He must pay more for the bread he
buys without getting more for the
abor he sells.
