Pea Vines Manure.

IF pea vines can be plowed under
while green, it may pay to make this
use of them, provided there is some
crop to use up the fertility they supply.
But if they are at all dried, the vines
should be cut and put up for winter
feed. They are rich in heterogeneous
matter, and are especially valuable to
feed with corn stalks, which are de-
ficient in nitrogen.

No INCREASE OF BEER TAX.
1 Number Of Good Reasons Why Con.
gress VIII Not Interfere with
Present Rates.

Congress will refuse to place an nd
dltlOnnl tax on beer for the following
very good reasons:
I. Because Il II unjust to saddle Oddl-
tlOnal burdens upon an industry that
has uninterruptetlly ana uucomplain.
Ing borne the old wnr-taX ever since its
imposition Caiding the government In
devising ana maintaining means for tts
prompt cOllectiOn); while all other in-
ternal war.mXes have been totally
abolished, except ns to ardent spirits
ana tobacco. In which latter instances
the rates Of 1865 have been cOnsldern-
bly, reduced.
=. Because when the wa..taX of ~
was imposed. beer sold ut xl2 per
barrel, while tO.dny--the tax remaining
the same-less than One-half OF that
amount IL the average price; wages and
the ordinary operating expenses Of
brewerles ana the capital required In
the business having vastly Increased In
the meantime.
3. Because when this tax was first
imposed, the burdens borne by the
traffic IN the shape Of local taxes on u.
cense-fecs did not exceed In any State
the sum of 500, while mt the present
time In some States these local taxes
range up 20 $1,000 for each salOOn-the
total sum Of such local taxes and H.
cense-fees throughout the country
amounting to probably SOO,OOO,OOO. u
disproportiOnately large share Of which
enormous sum must be and II horne by
beer. as may be seen from u single OK.
ample In point. to wit: the State OF
New York, where out OF u total of over
&11 ,OOO. 600 derived from the traffic the
beer interests paid about S1,OOO,OOO. In
rhe present condition of the market, the
brewer would be compelled to raise the
price of his product, and the dealer, on
his part, In order to make up the differ
| ence, would have to reduce the size of
his measures.
4. Because neither from an economic
nor from an ethical point of view does
It appear justifiable to increase the war
tax on beer while native wines are to.
tally exempt from taxation.
.. Because rs u revenue measure the
Increase Is based on erroneous prem
ises. for while It IL true that under the
present system, which impaired to the
industry an exceedingly valuable ele-
ment of stability, the production has
steadily increased, II Is more than prob.
able that the increased tax will pro-
duce Il decline In the business.
u. Because the increase would be Il
most potent incentive to the forma ton
of trusts, ana would most assuredly
drive out OF the business u large pro-
portion OF the smaller brewers. The
significance of this will be appreciated
II you state the undeniable fact that
One-half Of the beer produced In this
country Is manufactured by about 1OO
large brewers, while the other half II
made In about 1900 smaller establish

7. Because, although the tax may ut
first be borne by the bfewers--tO be
used as means of competition by the
stronger trade-rivals, 1t will In the end
have to be paid by the consumer, In one
way on another; and this we deem not
only unjust, hut extremely unwise from
Il temperance point of view, for beer,
