The People Who Count.

The strenuous advocates of reciproc-
ity in competing product sseem to have
fallen into common habit of wrong
statement when dealing with the Cuban
section of the proposition. For example,
we find the Review of Reviews" say
ing in its October issue:
"The beet sugar men will no longer
make any opposition to the Cuban
treaty. Those who are instinctively
hostile to it are the narrow and reaction
airy protectionists, who believe that any
sort of reciprocity arrangement makes a
dangerous breach in the wall
Whether the beet sugar men shall OPP
pose the treaty or not remains to be
seen. Judging from the pronounced an
tagonism which is manifested in MicM-
gan, California and other states, it
would seem probable that opposition
has ceased only among such of the beet
sugar men as have sold out to
Havemeyer. Among the non-Have-
meyer factory people the resistance to
the treaty is apparently as strong as
ever.
But there is question involved that
is far more important than the question
as to what the beet sugar men will do
or not do about the treaty. The i'm
portant question is, what are the sugar
beet farmers going to do about it,
They are people who count, and they
are to man opposed to the Cuban
treaty.
Regarding the people who count, it
may be well to recall what was said by
the late Thomas b. Reed on the subject
of favoritism toward foreigners at the
expense of domestic agriculture. Speak
ing of the proposed Cuban treaty. Mr..
Reed said:
eff we propose to abandon any in
dustries we had better not let it be the
agricultural industries. Between the
Atlantic and Pacific stretch vast regions
still untitled. The next victory of pro-
lection should be there.
Our system of protection is not for
manufacturers alone. 1t is for farmers
also. Whoever deprives our farmers Of
all the American market they can &C.
cupy is false to his principles and must
meet with defeat, or the system must
be surrendered which proclaims that
American markets are first of all for
American citizens, who are engaged in
developing the country we already
have"
The man who put forth this protest
against reciprocity in competing prod
ucts was, we believe, quite distinguished
for brains, for wisdom, for statesman
ship, for breadth of view, and for stall
wart republicanism. 1t might not be
amiss to remember the words above
quoted-almost the last words Mr.. Reed
ever uttered on the subject of Protec-
ton. Michigan Sugar Beet.

Taxpayers return what they own on
the first day Of January. 1903.
Assessors and taxpayers Will enter
the first given name of the taxpayer in
full, also make a separate return for
each party for the township the prop
ertv is in, and where the taxpayers
owns realty, to insert the postoffice as
their place of residence, and those who
only own personal property. to give the
party's name who owns the land they
live on as their residence, which aids
the taxpayer as well as the County
Treasurer in making the collections
and preventing errors.
Every male citizen between the ages
of twentv-one and sixty years on the
first day OF January, 1903. except those
incapable of earning a support from
being manned, or from other causes,
shall be deemed taxable polls. This
does not apply to Confederate soldiers
over fifty years of age, who are exempt.
All the returns that are made after
the twentieth day of February will have
penalty of so per cent. added thereto,
unless out of the county during the
time of listing. Not knowing the time
of listing is no excuse.
The assessing and collecting Of taxes
is all done now in the same year, and
we lhave to aggregate the number and
value of all the horses, cattle. mules.
etc., and their value that there is in
the county. and have same On file in the
Comptroller Generals Office by the
thirtieth day of June each year. And
from that time to the first day of Octo-
Der each year the Auditor and Treas
urer's duplicate has to be completed
and an abstract of the work in the
Comptroller's Office by that time. which
will Show at glance that the Auditor
has no time to take in returns or do
anything else much, between the first
day OF March and the first day of Octo-
Der each year but work on the book:
and blanks. Therefore l hope that all
taxpayers will do me the favor OF MAX
ing their returns in time.

the following peculiar old street names,
with the modern substituted:

Baalzephon street-Long lane, Ber-

Bully Rag row-Bethnal Green.
Jealous row-St. George's-in-the-East
Antigallican passage-Temple Bar.
Lally Pot lane-Foster lane.
The derivations Of these names, con-
tinues the writer, would be an inter-

found that in a large number Of In
stances the love Of eccentricity had led
to the selection.
