Taxes ON Farm Property Are happily
Rolling In.


The farmers of the western states
are paying their taxes with unusual
promptness. For Nebraska IL is stated
that thus far this year more taxes have
been paid by 100000 or 40 per cent.
than in any previous year. In addi-
ton, delinquent taxes. which have been
accommodating since 1898, are being paid
in large amounts. This prompter tax
paying is more noticeable in the coun-
try than in the cities.
According 10 the Kansas disps tches
the farmers OF that state are paying
their taxes more promptly than they
have done for five years. Many whose
property has been sold at tax sales are
redeeming IL. Counties which six
months ago were In arrears on state
taxes 100000 have paid up third Of
II recently. and II Is expected that nll
will be paid up within year.
In Iowa there is little complaint any
where OF inability 20 pay taxes. The
same Is true OF North and South Da.

quent tax lists will be much smaller
than usual-some less than half the
usual size-and in some townships there
Is not q single sale TO advertise.
These farmers are in such comforta-
bic circumstances AZ present because
they have had fair crops and have had
good prices for them. They have sent
more wheat and corn abroad than
usual, but there has been an increased
demand NJ home for those cereals and
their other products because OF the
improvement In the condition OF do
nestle consumers. If the hard times"
had continued with undated severity
or had been intensified by the terrible
panic which would have ensued II Bry-
an had been elected the farmers would
not have found taxpaying and mort

day.

tanned. They are getting pay for their
crops in those gold-value dollars which
Altgeld calls doublc-value dollars.
With that gold-value money the farm
ers are not merely paying taxes, mort
cages and store debts, but they are

TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Practical Solution Of PerpIeYIns
Problem.


No proposition made for long time
by the national executive has met with
so much favor as Mr.. McKinley's pro.
posal that when greenbaclls are re-
deemed they shall not be reissued ex-
cept on the payment of gold.
This simple and practical solution OF
a problem that perpleNed and discom-
fited the Cleveland administration and
all its advisers both in Washington and
in Wall street. was instantly recognized
by the whole people as another eXcmpli-
fication Of the wisdom of republican
statecraft.

cred the endless chain" was put TO its

NE DEFICIT AssAILEo.
Republican Revenue In Getting In
Its Work.


In two ways the treasury deficit is 20
be assailed-by an increase of the rev.
enues and reduction of the expendi-
lures. The first of these methods of
attack is already under way. IL re-
quires no new legislation. The tariff
law passed last July is doing its work.
In the arrangement of the appropria-
ton bills, which is now receiving the
earnest attention OF the republican
leaders In the house. the deficit is TO be
attacked from the other quarter.
Chairman Dingley said few days ago
that the revenue would equal the ex-
penditure before the end of the fiscal
year next June. and the indications
point 10 a verification OF the prediction.
IL has been noticed that there has been
a constant increase in the revenue ever
since the tariff act went into operation.
In the present month, In which, how
ever, expenditures win be comparative
~ small, the governments income is
likely, from figures thus far received,
10 exceed its outgo.
The great danger OF heavy appropri-
ations comes from the senate, body in
which the republicans are not i'm com
plete control. II has been the recent cx-
perience that the money bills are
larger when they leave the senate than
they are when they 60 10 TINT cham
Der from the house. When congress
was making appropriations for the
present fiscal year the senate added
S9,000,000 10 the house figures. though
S2,0oo,o0O OF this increased sum was
taken of before the bills were enacted.
In this way the senate has been able
20 increase the deficit. TO do that In
the present congress would be 10 throw
discredit on the republican party, for,
though the republicans arc not I'm n
majority in the senate, they have tho
presidency and tho house and arc held
responsible by the country for the man.
agement OF the government. Right on
the eve of the congressional elections
the continuance Of the deficit might be
serious for the party.
II Is gratifying, therefore. 10 the
party and the country that the rcpub-
lican leaders I'm the house are deter
mined 10 keep the expenditures down
70 the lowest figure compatible with
the efficiency OF the public service. All
propositions in the house for appropri-
ntions are 20 be closely scrutinizcd. and
the disbursements provided for in the
bills passed Ivy that body are, IL is un-

than in recent years. Moreover. n
strong fight Is 60 be made by the house
against all expansions Of the appro-
priations by the senate The latter
task. Of course, will be far moro Diff
cult than the other, but II the house
republicans are vigilant and resolute
they will succeed. In both sessions OF
the congress which expired last March
the powerful influence OF Speaker Reed
was actively enlisted on the side OF

gance. The incentive for economy Is
