THE WOMEN ALL PAY TAXES.

Editor Social Corner and Sisters:
Why do you write of the women who
pays taxes? Please tell US where the
woman is In America who pays no
taxes. If she pays rent she pays taxes
If she buys from her money dutiable
goods for herself and her children
she pays taxes. And every woman who
INDUCES in the small vices-the use
of tobacco in any form or the use Of
fermented or distilled nquors-she
pays taxes. The Indirect taxes of the
government run into hundreds of mil
lions and the self-supporting minor
male or female-has to pay them. We
are all taxpayers, but here are a
great many men who live and die with
out ever having the fact revealed to
them that they pay any tax beside the
direct tax-po11, road school or person
al property tax. The revenue taxes
of this country amount to $50 per fam
lily year. but in such a way it is not
realized All the women have to pay
taxes, whether they belong to the So
cial Corner or not. JOHN.

A REPLY TO cRusoE.

Editor Social Corner; I know that
"Crusoe" is an honest old soul and
has real fears for the future OF wo-
man. He has DO idea he has been
cast away ike the character whose
name he takes. That old fable he
quotes was for the purpose OF showing
mans weahness-not woman's perfidy.
That story Indicates that 1t did not
take one-twentieth part OF man to
make a woman and yet-and yet. AS
an allegorical illustration of the cost
of disobedience both sexes may well
prize that ancient bit Of folklore.
Doesn't Crusoe know II has been said
of woman: First at the cross-iast at
the grave"7 This Expresses woma n s
record In all things good; and yet, be-
fore woman was allow I'd to preach the
ability to do SO wisely was denied to
her. It has been said. Man is heav-
ems masterpiece" but being opposed
to larger liberties for woman does not
make this seem true Woman is the
homo maker. and with ballot in her
hand she can stay the license which
WI ecks homes-she might right some
Of the wrongs she haa suffered at the
hands OF those who do vote. Crusoe
