 So long as the Southern people manufacture nothing that they use, just so long w1lf they be the slaves of the manufacturing North. We raise cotton, pay freight on 1t both ways, pay manufacturers, iobbers' and retailers profits, when we get it back home in the shape of stripes, domesties and fanneIs On better land and better facilities for stock raising we live, yet most of the ba- con that goes down our throats is bought from Kansas City. In the midst of a fine wheat growing sec ton, we prefer to raise 1 cent cot ton and buy flour from Wisconsin. On fine natural range, yet we prefer to use Michigan condensed milk or do without. In fine fruit growing county, yet we 6uy strawberries from Texas, and potatoes from Col  orado. Our dried fruit is cured in Tennessee or Ohio, our pickles and celery from Michigan our wagons are made in Milwaukee. tte mules to draw it are raised ia Missouri, and the only home grown thing IL every wagon leaving town is tbe man holding the rains, and o1tea he is an imported article. Then can we wonder that times ar= hard; that there is no money in the country, when a bale ot cotton is brought to town and sold, before you get back home the money you received for that cotton is on it's way back North to pay for the goods on your wagon, not a thing being home grown2 It is high time we were waking up to a realization of these problems, the solution of which rests solely with the people them selves.

 Reduced taxation will not only re suit in private savings to the citi- zens. but will increase immigration and offer indueement and eneoar- agemeat to new manufacturing en- terprises.
 Reduced taxation should come, and until if does come there can be no general prosperity or progressive development in this city or county.

Why Are Not Our Taxes Re
 duced.

There is one other matter that oc- CUTS to ne at present that there is woeful amount of ignorance about and that is our county and city gov ernment. How much money is paid into the treasury of each? Why are not our taxes reduced? These are live issues and intelligent inYes- tigation and discussion with rec commentators might be more fruis- ful than we imagine.
 The above paragraph is from Mr. Fred Fox's article in the Christmas edition of the Graphic.
 How much money is paid into the treasury of city and county? Why are not taxes reduced2" These are very pertinent and proper ques- tions, aud, as Mr. Fox says, there is sswoeful amount of ignorance about them. "
 Why are not our taxes reduced2
 It ought not to be difficult for an observing citizen to answer this question. The reascn is because our taxes are gobbled up by tte graspiug greed of the fee-system and fee grabbing ofice-hoIders, and because the public revenues are re- garded as private snap, and every sort of scheme imaginable is resort ed to for the purpose of extorting fees from the county treasury.
 To illustrate; The Sheriff receives 75 cents day for feeding prisoners in the county Jail. 4 former iailor of this county is authority for tue statement that these prisoners are fed at an expense Of 15 cents per day. The Sheriff pockets the differ ence between b cents and D cents, or 50 cents day on every prisoner confined in the county jail. It is notorious that the wheels of justice grind slowly, especially in this couu- ty. Often men are confined ia the jail from six to eighteen months awaiting trial. All the while the Sheriff draws 75 cents day on each prisoner for feeding hlm. The ex pense for feeding prisoners and the county jail in this manner amounts to some 5000 year.
 
 This is only one example. Others might be given showing how money is extorted from the county as re- suit of the fee system, but this will suffice for the present.
 The remedy: Abolish the fee sys- ten. Do as Sebastian and Wash ington counties have doneput all the county officers on salaried list. Then and not til then will our taxes
