Are Wiser Now,

Are Wiser Now.
1t was many years ago that Will
liam Pitt said in the English house
of lords:
TO levy a direct tax of 7 per
cent is dangerous experiment in a
free country and may incite revolt,
but there is a method by which you
can tax the last rag from the back
and the last bite from the mouth
without causing murmur against
high taxes, and that is to tax a
great many articles of daily use and
necessity so indirectly that the peo-
pie will pay them and not know it.
Their grumbling then will be of
hard times, but they will not know
that the hard times are cased by
taxation"
Since the days of Pitt many gen.
erations of people in supposedly free
countries have backed up the truth
of his saying. They have grumbled
at hard times, not knowing that
they are paying many times Y per
cent" in taxes on the necessities of
life. In the United States some peo-
pie have long seen the connection
between the hard battle of exist
ence and the dishonest and discrim-
mating taxes collected through the
tariff, and there are indications that
the majority are beginning to see it.
The promises of the Standpatters to
revise the tariff, and there are indi-
cations that the majority are begin
ming to see it. The promises of the
standpatters to revise the tariff are
little louder and stronger than
ever before, and yet are they strong
enough to be remembered after
election? If the people are getting
wise as to the effect of the tariff
will they also be wise enough to in
trust its revision to those who have
a motive for remembering, not a
motive for forgetting, to those who
do not profit by the injustice of
tariff taxation? Quincy Herald.
House Work May be Done Without

1t is folly to ignore the existence

often enough to give it a smooth
surface to keep clean; and there are
so many excellent rules for cleaning
paint, and so many household pow
ders and cleansing fluids that are in /

the woman be who did not employ
one or more of them to aid her in
