IF is the intention of Hon. w. ).
BRYAN, according to plans recently
announced by him, to put himself on
record bv publications in a monthly
MAGAZINE in the very near future
mon the vexed question of what the
democratic platform of 1908 shall be
and he is being very severely critl-
cized by many of the leaders OF the
Democratic party in thus playing IN
to the hands of the Republicans"
They argue if Mr.. Bryan takes ex-
IRENE ground, to which his party may
NOT follow him, he will be in manifest
danger of eliminating himself as a
factor in the next Democratic Nation
al Convention; while if on the other
hand, there is anything of real polit-
ical value in his new theories, he WILL
bv such premature publication, SIM
plv give the Republicans an oppor-
tunity to steal the desirable features
of his platform, as he claims tney
have done in the past
His critics will hardly deter him.
however, from submitting state
ment of the principles upon which ne
will take his party's nomination ane
is seems to be better that they shoul(
not do so. If his views are out O
harmony with the principles OF the
Democratic party, it is better tina
they should be known before tn
Democratic convention meets than Il
make him the nominee of the part.
and to find them out afterwards. Il
submitting his principles beforehan
it can be determined whether or no
he has the endorsement of the voter
of the country, and if he has not the
he should not be the nominee OF Tn
party. The very thing he wants {
do gives the opportunity to judge
his availability as a candidate and h
should be encouraged to speak GU
rather than to be muzzled, II IN

Taxes Paid by Whites and Blacks.

The annual report of State Auditor
Marye has been issued. The reportls
a valuable one, presenting a great
deal of information. The property
holdings of the whites and blacks are
separated, and when comparisons are
made the possessions of the latter are
small.
The negroes own less than one
twenty fifth of the real estate OF the
State, the actual figures being: Whites,
%. 696, 1871; colored, l, 365, 426, while
the value of the holdings is relatively
smaller than the acreage, the report
showing that the whites have to pay
on a valuation of 1851, 69S, 1852 and
the blacks on SIT, 27S, 343. The fore
going applies strictly to real estate
and includes all properties owned by
whites and blacks in the counties az
we'll as in the cities.
When it comes to personal property
which includes everything taxable
that is not listed as real property, the
negroes make relatively better
showing than they do in the matter
of real estate. The whites own $i3l
IA. 416. while the blacks are held t.
account for s., 989, 048. This showing
is due to the fact that the negroe
own horses in the country and othe
forms of personal property in the cit
es, making the showing much bet
ter.
In the matter of incomes, the ne
groes make possibly the worst show
| ing that is made in any of the com
parsons to be found. The law
| that all incomes in excess of $500
year shall pay to the State ! per cen
gross. This includes rents, inherit
ances, salaries and moneys of ever
description in excess of $500 receive
| in any one year. 1t is a notoriou
fact that thousands of whites eac
wear dodge" this item on their ia
J lists, so that the total paid by tn
whites for this one item is SOB, 703. Y
while the negroes report only $685.
for the entire State, the bulk OF whlc
comes from Richmond. For tn
: whites, Richmond city pays NOR
, than all the other cities combined
, The total from Richmond is 500, 427

Gov any lack of interest on our part IN
the matter. AS the writer, MIR. by

to say, whether or not, we Will aVall

No one doubts that the people OF the

The farmer is indeed "back num-

visors to Withhold an appropriation
which will add to our wealth as indi-

farmers. as can do so to show oul
interest in the matter and to sustain
