POSITION OF LABOR
HOW MINNESOTA UNION MEN
VIEW NEW TAX
CODE
WOULD CREATE MANY PANICs
Commission Should Have Provided
for More Equal Taxation on Real
PrOperty-dncOme Tax
Is Favored.

William E. McEwen, the well known
labor agitator, editor of the Labor World
and recently successful in the city cleo
ton in Duluth for the position of alder
man, sums up the labor union attitude
on the tax report. as follows:
In some portions of the state the labor
organizations of Duluth have been Sc
verely criticised for their opposition to
portions of the report of the tax commits
SION They have been charged with per-
mitting representatives of special inter-
ests to use them as clubs to oppose those
portions of the report referring to tax
on grain in elevators, tax on bank de-
posits and .on vessels kailing from Min
nesota ports.
Whether or not special interests have
induced the Trades assembly to act we
do not know, but we co know that the
assembly and its representatives are act
ing in full accord with the principles of
labor organizations.
Labor is yitally interested in the busi-
ness and industrial development of Du-
luth. 1t is opposed to certain portions
of the tax report because it believes if
the Objectionable features are enacted
into law, it will injure the business vel
fare of the city. Let US take up their
objections:
Objection IS made to reducing the ex-
empton on personal property to S25, on
the ground that ii increases the burdens
on the poor, who are already overtaxed
Objection is made to the tax on grain,
because it will not only tend to drive our
elevators from Duluth but because it is
tax on breadstuff. used largely by the
poor and on whom the tax will eventual
ly fall
Objection is made to an increased tax
on vessels for the reason that Duluth is
the only port in Minnesota, and hence its
adoption would be injurious to Duluth
unless every state on the great lakes
| agreed upon q uniform tax.
Objection is made to tax on deposits
in banks, because it will tend to precipi-
tate panic every year at the very
time when money is most needed.
In May when the assessor is around
| deposits viii be withdrawn, banks will
! call in their loans and business in gen
| egal will be affected. This is the history
| of the past. and will be of the future.
! 1t is at time of year when building is
/ booming. Workingmen who have been
/ IDLE during the winter are striving to
pay tReir winter debts Merchants, who
| will bt pinched for cash. win push
| their debtors. and not only labor but
/ everybody will experience a setback.
| There Is every reason in the world to op-
| pose this proposition so long as business
| is done on credit system
| If the tax commission desired to do
some real lasting work it should have
] provided for more equal taxation on
real property; an income tax on every
person from the man who makes $50 a
year to the capitalist who makes a mill
| ion. If this was done all labor would
support it from the beginning

On December Il, last, the proprie-
tors Of Paine's Celery Compound found
the following letter among their mail:
They had no correspondence on the
subject; they did not know Mr.. Mus
ham, except by reputation. Like every
testimonial of this great medicine that
was ever printed, it came to them TN
solicited and unsought. The proprie-
tors of Paine's Celery Compound have
never found it necessary to manufac-
ture or edit any testimonial. They have
never found it necessary by any trick
OF advertising to promote mythical
men in far off places to positions
in legislatures or offices that never
heard Of them. It is the one of all
remedies the popularity Of which has
increased on account of what it does,
instead of what it says.
1t appears that Fire Chief Musham,
the head of the Chicago Fire Depart
ment, which is the model of the world
has been for forty years in the service;
as brave as lion, industrious, cool
headed, with a record for fighting fires,
and quite as distinguished for nerve
and generalship as other heroes
upon whom nations have bestowed
public honors for service in no less
hazardous undertakings. Chief Mus

Ellison estimates the world require
ments of American for the season at TO-

Humbugging the Farmers.

The man who peddles compost formu-
las will soon be reaping his usual har-
vest among those who think they cannot
afford to take a farm paper, and who
never get and read the bulletins from
the State Experiment Stations. But they
will quickly pay So to S. to an irrespon-
sible peddler who tells them that he is
a wonderful chemist and has made a
great discovery in fertilizers, and that
the chemists at the Experiment Stations
are all ignoramrses as compared with
him. One of these men has been, for a
year or so, doing a thriving business
in the South selling formula for which
the easy going Patent Office granted
him a patent, and the men who do not
attend the Institutes nor read the bulle-
tins are paying for it, when they could
get better formula without cost from
their Experiment Station. These COM
post peddlers take advantage of the
ignorance of the men who know it ALL
and have no use for Institutes or bulle-
tins. Proclaiming themselves great
chemists, though no chemist ever heard
of them and no laboratory ever saw
them, they make the on-reading men on
the farms believe that they are what
they claim to be, and the men who can
not afford a dollar for a farm paper
eagerly part with their dollars for an
ignorantly contrived formula and right
to use what is of no real use to them in
the improvement of their lands. We sup
pose that it is the gambling spirit that
all men have to some extent that makes
men hope for great results on venture
and to take the say so of a stranger
rather than seek the help of those
whose sole business it is to help them.
If any farmer needs a formula for the
home mixing of fertilizers or compost
the Experiment Station of his State is
always ready to furnish him with correct
information.

(By the Associated Press

New York, Dec. 6.-The week in dry
goods closed without new features in the
market here in any line of cotton goods.
Print cloths quiet but steady. Cotton
yarns dull but fairly steady. Worsted
yarns firm with fair demand Wooden
yarns steady. Linen and jute yarns firm.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Dec. 6.-The cotton market
opened easy with prices four to six points
lower in sympathy with weakness in the
Liverpool market. The room trade was
also influenced by better weather in the
South and predictions for increasing re-
ceipts next week. There were very few
public orders in evidence and the room
bulls were in no mood to buy cotton so
lorg as the public maintained its press
ent Indifferent attitude. The private ca
bles declared the silver situation was as
suming such serious aspect that in
vcstors were withdrawing from the mar
ket while professional bear sentiment was
steadily growing. The advices from dry
goods and cotton goods centers were not
particularly gratifying though prices
lacked important changes. The Liverpool
market was due to come about one point
lower, but at the close was net to 8
points lower. The room took profits to-
ward the close of the first hour, but as
this demand was not urgent prices barely
rallied two points. Port receipts were
heavy. considering the recent bad weather
South, and the private kilograms declared
the Southern spot markets were easing
a trifle. The early wave of selling car
ried March down to S.12, May to S.14, and
August to 1893.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. 6.-The dealings in
stocks today reflected no change from
the recently prevailing doubt and hesita-
ton OF the speculative community. Pro-
fessonal traders We're early indisposed
TO leave contracts open even over Sun
day Selling during the first hour was
followed by rebuying after the, bank
statement appeared, the weakness of
the showing having been so we'll discount
ed that its publication induced no out
side selling. 1t is said that large sums
of cash are going abroad for exchange in
holiday business. 1t is expected that the
heavy customs collections will continue
for another week on account of the large
lmportations for the holiday trade. The
small loan increase by the banks was not
unexpected, and it was even feared that q
considerably greater expansion had oc-
Cured N that item, as several large
transactions are known to have been
made in the loans. The foreign houses
are now the important factor in the loan
market, and it is believed that the re-
sources for these loans have been secured
py drawing foreign exchange, which, in
eiiect,ls short sale of exchange. The high
rate for time loans serves as an attraction
to foreign lenders. There have been very
large repayments of foreign borrowings
Tor some time, which are believed to
have been secured on very advantageous
terms for employment in the stock mar
ket Their expiration was an important
influence on the recent heavy liquidation
in the stock market. Some Of these
funds seem to have been re-loaned dur
ing the past week at the better terms
now prevailing. The undertone of the
