Shall the Garfield law be repealed, or
shall it be enforced. Years of expert
ence with the law have demonstrated
that it does not prevent candidates for
office from using money to corrupt vo-
ters. Since it remains practically a
dead letter on the statute books. and
since it does nothing more as rule,
than to lead men, who violate it's pro-
visions, to perjure themselves in filing
their statements of election expenses,
the law had better be repealed in the
interest of good morals,

TAX ALTON REFORM IN OHIO.

How to get an honest and uniform
listing Of property for taxation, is one
of the unsolved problems. And it is
not easy of solution. Various methods
have been suggested and adopted, none
Of which have brought about the de-
sired result. That there is need for re-
form along this line, there is no doubt.
Whether the present tax laws need
reforming, or the assessor, is the ques-
ton. Touching the question of Taxes
in Ohio" the Cleveland Leader, very
pertinently, says:
A bill is being prepared for introduc-
tion in the legislature, which provides
that all property shall be taxed at it's
full value in money. The bringing
about of such a reform in taxation
methods is desirable, but it is hardly
necessary to enact law to do it.
The Constitution, which is the funda-
mental law of the state, now provides
that all property shall be taxed by a
uniform rule, according to it's true value
in money. The plain meaning of that
provision is that all property, no matter
listed for taxation at 100 per cent of
its true value in money, not 80, or 40, or
necessary to bring about the reform
90 per cent, as at present. All that is
necessary to bring about the reform
is to adopt some method of enforcing
present laws which will insure uniform
action by the assessors in all of the
| counties of the state.
. fp
thing is gained by listing property for
taxation at low valuation. A low
valuation means a high tax rate, and
vice versa. In Chicago, for instance
where property Is listed at a ridiculous
ly low valuation, the tax rate often runs
to five and six per cent. In Bos.
ton where the tax valuation
is very nearly the true value of prop.
erty, the tax rate is very low. OF
course the wealthy man is better able
| to eVade taxation where the valuation
is variable than Is the poor man, fol
| the former has better means of secret
ing his taxable property. This is tn,
main reason why a reform is desirable
But no plan will be effective unless 1
forces property owners in all the coun
ties to list the property at it's tru
value. An honest valuation in thi
county might have no effect upon taxa
tion for local purposes, but it would b.
manifestly unfair to compel the peopl
Of Cuyahoga to pay fixed percentag
Of taxes for state purposes on 100 pc
cent valuation, while the people of othe
counties were only asked to pay tn
same rate on a so or so per cent valua
tion.
The question OF taxation reform 1
a big one, and it cannot be solved by on
simple amendment to the tax laws.

AN ERROR ABOUT IHE BoERs.
(Chicago Chronicle.)


It has been claimed that the English
in the Transvaal are fighting for the
rights for which the Americans fought
at Lexington and Bunker hill. Nothing
farther from fact could be invented.
The Americans fought for separation
of the colonies from Great Britain that
they might become self-governed. The
"uitlanders" in the Transvaal claim
that they have the right to voice in
it's government without giving up their
British allegiance. The difference is
vital. Had the Dutch republicans yield
ed to the insolent and unprecedented
demand of Chamberlain and the gold
grabbers the domestic independence of
the republic would have been under
mined and betrayed in few years. The
"uitlanders" want to rule the Trans
vaal, not as citizens of a free republic,
but as subjects of Great Britain.
Americans who have read the history
of their own country, who know the
sacrifices their forefathers made to de-
tach themselves and their republic from
the British crown, cannot fail to admire
and appreciate the heroic struggle of
the Beers for political and civil liberty.

interest fully s59,OOO,OOO of the surplus
money, that, as he put 1t ought to be in
the treasury and he charged, with
particular eloquence and Indignation,
that the president of the United States
and his administration were solely re-

of the treasury and the alarm that
existed about the currency situation.
80 indignant, indeed, was Congress-
man Mckinley concerning this outrage
that in the Republican convention of
1888 he, as chairman of the committee
on resolutions, saw that into the plat
form was put denunciation of The
Democratic policy of loaning the
governments money without interest to
pet banks
"It is estimated that before the
distribution of money to banks now be-
gun is completed there will be $129,000,-
900 thus deposited in pet banks without
interest, which they will loan out at
from to 10 per cent. This is the policy
which the successful Mckinley adopts,
and is exactly the policy which the
Mckinley struggling upward toward
eminence denounced in 1885,"

do the policy and acts of Gage, Heath,
Vanderlip and Roberts-to whom Mr..
Mckinley, by his silence, has given con-
sent-embody and reflect the Republi-
can idea of good government?
do the Republicans want to go into
the presidential campaign upon this
issue?" asks the New York World.
why, yes. Most anything proposed
by the administration reflects tie Re
publican idea of good government,
however bad it may be. And as to going
into the presidential campaign upon this
issue, hasn't the New York World long
since learned that Republican issues are
very much like Republican ideas of
good government?

PoRTENToUs RUMBLING.
(Chicago Chronicle.l

Senators and representatives atWash-
ington manifest some surprise ut re-
ceiving large numbers of petitions pray
ing for the reroal Of certain sections Of
the war revenue act, especially those re-
lating to the tax on proprietary medi-
cines, bank checks, kilograms, express
packages and all stamps which the peo-
pie have to afflx themselves. 1t seems
to be a settled belief at Washington
that such features of the war tax are
rather enjoyed by the American people
and are likely to be continued indefin-
itely. 1t is safe to predict, however,
that the protests now being received are
but the rivulet compared with the COM
ing avalanche when the people become
thoroughly aroused to a realization of
what the indefinite continuance of these
onerous burdens really means. 1t is
said the most of the protests thus far
received are not based upon the ground
Of expense, but upon the trouble involv-
ed in affixing the stamps. 1t is q por-
tentious rumbling, and even the loyal
adherents of the majors expansion pol
icy are beginning to grumble as hard
as the rest of us.

Twenty-Five millions of people in In
dia, British subjects, are said to be
starving. How infinitely better would
it be for England to send supplies and
money to her starving colonists in India
than to send her soldiers and muni-
tions of war to South Africa. But then,
this is business, and England, that
boasted nation of culture, refinement
and civilization, knows her business,
and that's all there is to it.

The pro-Boer sentiment in America
American people are liberty-loving peo-
pie. They can never be anything else.
Their sympathies will always go out
to all peoples of the earth struggling for
social and political independence. The
American people have not forgotten the
early history of their country. The En-
gland of 1900 is much the same as the
England of 1876. In no section of the
country do the people understand this
better than in Massachusetts, where the
name of liberty has always aroused her
to action. The spirit of 70 has not died
out there At a recent meeting held in
Faneuil hall, Boston, to express sym
pathy with the Beers, at which such
distinguished men as George F. Hollis,
eX-United States consul at Pretoria, and
George Fred Williams, were the prlnci-
pal speakers, the following resolution of
sympathy was adopted with the cheers
of thousands of the best citizens of the
old Bay state. The resolution declares:
That in the name of liberty, sacred al
ways on the soil of Massachusetts,, we
condemn and denounce the action of
England-the bully among the nations
fresh from the international peace con-
ference at The Hague, in arrogantly at
tacking the sovereign rights of a free
people and attempting to enslave them.

BELIEVE IN FREEDOM.
(New Waterford Magnet.)

For the education of the editor of the
Sebring News we beg to state that the
Magnet is not and never has been sail
ing under a Democratic flag. If, how
ever, every man who da Nes to take issue
with the policy of the administration at
Washington is to be put down asa DEM
ocrat-if such men as Ex-Governor
Bushnell, Senator Hoar, together with
hundreds and thousands OF others of
their standing, are to be known as
Democrats, then we too are Democrat
in the opinion of the News man. We
lay no claims to being a Democrat, but
we are not the kind Of a Republican
who will get down into the mire and
filth at the bidding of a machine poll
tician.' Not while we have any sense
left us. We are opposed to the corrupt
practices resorted to by the Republican
bosses of Columbiana county, in manip-
ulating the nominations of the county
officers, and if that is Democratic, let
it be such. We are opposed to slavery
or polygamy wherever the stars and
stripes float, be it in the United States
or Sulu Islands. We believe in free
dom in all the term implies, whether in
the United States, Cuba, Porto Rico,
or the Philippines. We believe in the
principles advocated by Washington,
Jefferson and Lincoln. If these are
Democratic, then we are a Democrat.
If you have political standard outside
of the one dictated by Mark Hanna,
who has closed his mortgage on the Re-
publican party, and now owns it, what
is it?

Barb wire and wire nails are import
ant articles of consumption with
farmers and builders and the effect Of
the extremely high prices now being
charged cannot but greatly restrict the
building of fences, houses and barns
In fact the hardware men of the coun-
try tell us in interviews printed in the
Iron Age of November 80, 1899, that
farmers are now building rail fences in
stead of wire, and that they are buy
ing nails by the pound instead of by the
keg. Demand for these articles has
fallen off 25 to 80 per cent.
But what is to be done to remedy
this state of affairs? Mr. Gates says
that the trust needs not only the tariff
protection which it has now, but that
it should receive a subsidy from the
government. Do the farmers and
carpenters Of this country agree that
this is the remedy ? Will they suggest
to their congressman that a possible
remedy might be found in the removal
of tariff duties? Through what other
means can we expect immediate relief
from the exactions of this great mono
poly?

1t appears that wire nails, which are

.keg in New York and Chicago and
which one year ago sold for $1.59 and
five years ago for sos; are now being
exported from New York and sold to

The Steel and Wire trust has not
only raised prices of wire and wire
nails more than 100 per cent in one year
but it has raised them nearly 300 per
cent within four years to home con-
sumers-who pay for protection-while
it has continued to export immense
quantities and sell them at foreign
prices, which are now nearly 40 per
cent below home prices and which in
1896 were less than half of our home
prices. The trust compromises prices
in Canada and reduces prices there
only half as much as in Europe.
The plain truth is that the trust sells
for whatever it can get in any and all
markets of the world. Because of our
duty of from 4-10 of cent to l cent per
pound on wire and wire nails, which
shuts out British and German competi-
ton, the trust can and does charge
more here than in any other country.
In Canada it can charge more than in
Europe because it is nearer the Cana
dian markets. But it is supplying Eng
land with, 60 per cent of her wire and
wire nail product, as the Iron Age
tells us.
Under these circumstances it is
difficult to frame any reason with any
semblance of soundness, for re-
tanning the duties on barb wire and
wire nails.
