TAX BURDENED WORLD.

increased only about $50 per cent,
in population, while their debt

has grown weaIthier, .hnt whether
ut Is l 200 per cent weather. than
IN the year 1900 may he considered
an'open question And as we re-
marked the other day, it is not
merely the huge national debts
that should be taken into cOnsidera-
ton but the provincial, state ana
municipal debts which have prob
ably grown faster than national!
debts. Futnre generations will
come into tremendously mortgage
ed world; their own fate, AS bur
drnpd taxpayers, is fixed for them

that all the chubby faced babies
to be born in this century are sure
inhefitors of taxes. Whoever first
devised a national debt invented
new form of white mans slavery.
1t is now proposed to make the
Chinese know how blessed it is to

weighty machine of civillzati0a
goes slowly rolling on bringing all
sorts of doubtful blessings to a
