One thing is clearly brought out

where the Wool Ought TO Grow.

In -Phases of NV Life" Rev. Dr. Pigou
does not ccafine his stories TO those
of clerical cut; here is an amusing one
of a certain meeting of the Ro5al Geo
graphical society. at which he was
present. There was present at this
meeting a gentleman named Crawfurd
who always was on the opposition.
Some one who had spent half OF his life
in Queensland. and was owner of vast
f1ocks and herds, was descanting on the
great importance of developing the re-
sources of part of the world at that
time comparatively little known. es-

Il have lived here nearly all my life.
and made my fortune by wool As TO
wool never growing in the tropics. who
on earth have more wool on their heads
than niggers?" There was a roar OF
laughter, amidst which Crawfurd's
voice was heard saying: You have
beaten me- offer no more objection"

The Disastrous Eject of RePubliean
Legislation ON the Nations
Finances.

Representative Cannon. chairman of
the house committee on appropriations,
SAYS there will be deficit of $50, ,000,-
coo at the end of the present fiscal
year.
This is q comment on republican
legislation which viii cause good deal
of serious consideration by the people,
How is this deficit to be met? VIII
the vast riches of the trusts be taxed?
VIII the men who have incomes rang
ing from $1,000 to $4,000. 600 a year be
required TO bear their share of the bur
den?
Under republican rule these ques-
tions can all be answered in the mega
tive.
Trusts are protected. The incomes
of rich men are held sacred and the
men who are least able TO pay taxes
viii be the men who viii have 10 pay
them.
What does the s7o0. .ooo. 900 steel trust
pay in the way of national taxes? Moth
ing. But every poor woman who buys
a pound of tea pays the government ten
cents TO help protect the steel trust.
The New York Journal pictures the
condition of affairs must truthfully and
most wildly as follows: 'If any more
taxes are to be imposed they viii be
levied, not on the men with the mil
lions, but on the men that do not have
S179 apiece. The values of franchises,
the profits of corporations, the steal
ings of trusts viii remain untouched,
while every rag worn by the shiyering
child of a day laborer out Of work is
taxed.-
And yet poor men. wage-earners. men
in moderate circumstances continue to
vote the republican ticket. Are they
not, indeed, their own worst enemiesf
