Compare Year Tax Receipts. Our Republican farmer friends can have a practical demonstration of the ABCjre&sc in taxation (which the Press editors say is simply in our imagination).; by taking their pcncial and making a few figures. They will find that it is not imagination, but reality with which they have to contend. fa 1885, under Democratic rule, tlie tax rate for county and bond purposes was $7.45 on each $1000 valuation. At that time,!) bu. of wheat 20 of corn,or a hundred and eighty-five pounds oi pork paid the tax on $1000 worth of property. To-day, under Republican rule, the same property is faxed $9.55 on the $10X1, and it will take fourteen bushels of wheat, fortyeight bushels of corn, or three hundred pounds ot pork to pay the tax on $1000. In other words, it will take 5 bushels more of wheat, 28 bushels morn of corn, or 114 pounds more oi pork to pay the tax now under Republican rule than it did in 1885 under Democratic rule. To illustrate, take a farmer, say Chas. D. Alexander, one ot the oldest taxpayers of Washington township. In 1885, he owned the same land that ho now owns, and paid tax ou the same number of acres of land, with a valuation in 1885 of $3315, and iu 1889, tiie valuation was $3800, $15 less. In 1885, Mr. A's county tax ou this land was $28.42. now (18S9) it is #36.29. In 1885, 35 bushels ol' wheat, 81 bushels of corn, or 710 pounds of pork paid this tax under Democratic rule; but, jti 18S9, under Republican rule, 72 bushels of wheat, 181 bushels of corn, or 1116 pounds of pork is reqi^red to '* pay this tax on the same land valued #15 less than it was in 18S5. Each farmer can figure for himself the increased amount he has had to pay for the luxury of a Republican ring,a finis Jy(?)pai,|fed court house and other extravagancies. j Wlieu you go to pay your taxes, ask ^hi^rtjounty Treasurer where all this fnoTey goes, why it costs so much more .to run the county affairs than formerly, and what, improvements have been made to draw your deeper .and deeper in debt. And this, loo, while the roads arc in such condition that it requires four horses to draw a bag of beans to the county capital, that the driver may see the newly painted court house, the costly and magnificent lamp in' the Auditor’s office, and that painted sign which says; “Please throw your melon rinds on tsidc of y ard. By order of Cou n ty .Commissioners.” The above cannot be assailed or denied. We selected 1885 and 1S89 because those two years make h better showing for Republicans than any other two, hard as it is on them. We estimated wheat, corn, and pork in 1885 at the lowest figures for which they sold in that rear, and at the highest prices iu 1889. This gives Republican rule all the advantages it can possibly be entitled to, and yet file ring is shown to be an expensive luxury._' WinsIow>-Qnestions.

- ..—=—— m OK ™ FARMER. tFrom The New York World.* Everr farmer should understand clearly what protection does for the mill-owner in regard to wages, and bow it affects his farm- labor In the competition between them. The excuse' for the protection of the mill-owner is that be pays higher wages than obtained abroad, and that his protection* is only eqngl to the difference in wages between other countries an«d this. This excuse is uot true; btrt its truth Ttr^ontruth does uot matter. If he pays higher wages, so docs the unprotected farmer. Wages are not higher in protected than in unprotected industries for the same grade of labor; but, even if they were, every farmer should know three facts which are undeniable: 1. No protected mill-owner ewer In bis tire paid ont of his own money or normal profits one cent or wages to a protected workman. 2. Every cent or wages paid la every pro.ectect mill is paid by the people through the mill-owner, who merely acts us I heir agent. a The labor in all protected mills Is absolutely tree or all cost to the mlli-owner uuder all circumstances, and he usu»liy steals rrozu his mill-hands rrom 25 to SO per cent, or the money intrusted to him by the public to add to the foreign wages to make good the difference.

The proof or this is so simple mai men must wouder they never saw it before. It Is fpuud in the mill-own-ers’ own returns to the lust census. Let us take a few of these as they come to illustrate and explain: ' SCO A*.

It paid a duty of 30 mills «u the raw material, but it was protected on its retied product by a tax of 35 mills (or 80 per cent.),the difference of liLmills being paid by the people; merely to give its wot kmen higher wages than arc paid abroad. This difference of 15 mills amounted to $46,699,889 over aud above ail its legitimate expenses and taxes except labor. In 18S0 the forty-nine refineries employing 5,857 workmen paid $2,875,0o2 in wages and produced 1,987,613,756 pounds worth $155,484915, wages increasing its values Only 1.8 percent, lu 1887 the production was 3,11.%325,945, requiring at the same rate 9,133 workmen aud $4,484,303 wages, as the latter have uol been raised .sin 1880. Every cent of this $46,099,889 was paid by the people of the Sugar Trust to be added to the wages of its workmen. It was not intended as blackmail to the twenty owners of the forty-nine refineries. If the Sugar Trust had paid the 9,133 workmen every cent of it each refiner would have had his labor absolutely without expense, llut, not satisfied1 with absolute pauper labor, they stole 90 per cent.

S. during a quarter of a century; more than all the loses by defalcations aud breaches of trust, aud more than all the loses by all the political rings and jobs in addition. It has averaged over $35,009,000 yearly, for the theft was greater in proportion before 1883 ihau since. In 1880 the total capital invested in the whole country was $27,432,500; to-day the one North River Company has a capital of $60,000,000. PIG IKON FIIKNACKS.

Tribuuc (high protection pig-iron authority) say* that the price would drop exactly $6.72 If the duty wei-e taken off, aud with a pig-iron trust there is no reason to doubt it. The ironmaster receives SG.72 in trust to add to wages every ton be makes, and pays 335 for all wages, steals $3.37 and gets bis labor free of all cost.

Iii 1880 Pennsylvania paid 275 furnaces £1,752,838 for producing 1,930,311 tons, or £2.46 per (oil. Tiie steal from wages was £4.26 per ton, and the labor cost nothing. Is it auy wonder that the production of Pennsylvania has doubled in eight yea 's when the ironmasters could get all the labor tlier wanted without cost aud steal $14,029,411 yearly from the money they received to add to the wages of their workmen ?

The American mill owner had his workuieu and workwomen suported by the people of the United States, and he stole $6,545^)15 from the pauper dole, er 42 per ceut. ot the money contributed for their support.

KNOUuil IS A FEAST. Why heap up iustauces? It does uot matter what industries are taken, they are nil alike. These were taken haphazard, without thought of what any except sugar would show. One or two figures may be open to slight correction? where estimates bad to be made, as in carpet But no correction will make any change in the lesson they teach, and the actual figures if we had them, or could get them, Would unquestionably make a much Worse showing. If the refiuers should prcrc that Utey ouly stole 12,000,000 iustead of $42,000,800 from wages, they are welcome to. It makes no j difference in the points involved, t which are: , I 1. The protected mill owner pays not one cent of wages oat of his own pocket 2. The protected mill hands ate supported by a private lax levied on the general public. 3. The protected mill owner steals from this public support all that he ean—ranging from 6 or 14 per cent, in straggling industries to Wiper cent, in the industry that has obtained ail that protection nets for—the absolute control of the home market. THE IKMTXCTXU LABOR Eli A PAUPER. Every person supported by the public as a public charge is a public pauper. _ Every mill hand in every protected mill is a public charge, and therefore a public pauper turned orer to the protected mill owner to get what work he can out of him. The pauper is no ex pence to the mill owner. The public sees to it that an ample sum shall be put into hie hands to pay all expense* ot snppevt- From this sum Ibe mill owner usually steals one-half. For convict labor the employer must puy tiye State something,♦go

only one cent n day. For slave labor the "master” most charge himself with the support ot the slave and his family. ' For protected labor the mill-owner pays not one cent and charges himself with nothing. He is paid handsomely for using it. Truly the New England manufacturer was shrewd and conning when he palled down slavery to build op protection. Imagine a Southern planter, the owner of 100 slaves, receiving yearly from his State Treasuary $46(3,998 bounty because he furnished them with work—$44,843 being for the support of his slaves and $122,155 being for himself, to pay for his philanthropy in addition to having the product of their 31,200 days’ labor. ■» But the sugar refiner of Brooklyn, New York, Jersey City or Philadelphia receives exactly this sum yearly, under exactly the same conditions, for every 100 workmen employed. The cotton-mill owner, the woollenmill owner, the iron master, the protected employer of high and low degree receives a proportionate amount nuder precisely similar circumstances for every protected pauper in his public pauper house called a protected industry.

SLAVERY AND PROTECTION. Is it any wouder that the protected mill owner is fighting tooth and nail to Incrcaae his pauper labor and his stealings? v It is the old slavery question revived, but this time it is a fight to iucrcase Northern pauper labor instead of Southern slave labor. As in 1840 to 1850 no one proposed to interfere with slavery as it was, only to limit it, so now no one proposes to interfere with pauper mill labor, ana the most that any one asks is to confine it to its present boundaries, to set some limit to its extension, to put a check upon greater stealings from the money handed to the mill owners in trust for their workmen. Nobody objects to the' mill owner having his labor free of cost, or to tax that famishes him with more protection than double the amount of wages paid. Nobody objects to his theft of onehalf or two-thirds the trust ffind given him yearly. If he will be satisfied with what he has, he may keep it. Protection degrades the white man and makes him a pauper, supported by publie charity and dependent upon the mill owners rod whether be shall be turned out of the pauper bouse to starve; but that is his business. If he wishes it let him have whal he wishes. But the mill owners should not be permitted to increase their protection and drive 2,000,000 farmers from the laud they till Ito make them wage-slaves to tariff lords. PAUPER MILL LABOR AND THE FARMER. What the farmer has to contend with iu competing with the mill-owner has never beeu clearly stated. Perhaps it can be made plain. U lie had no “home market” in 1880 for 31 percent, of his farm products, except by i sending them abroad, exchanging them for something to wear or use (manufactures), and bringing back what there was a market for. He could not make the people bug any more to eat than their labor to provide food called for, and he had a surplus of 31 per cent, to eat for whice there were no months in the home market. 2. Their labor to provide clothing and articles of use called for a certain amount of manufactures, which could be supliedin two ways: . i (a.) Bv using farm labor through an exchange of the farm surplus, without mill labor. (b.) By using mill labor, leaving the farm surplus to rot; without farm labor. Naturally tbe competition was keen between the farmer and the mill owner. The farmer has first to produce his surplus aud then exchange it abroad for what bis couutrymen wanted, while tbe mill-owner had only to produce it directly in his milll. There was no demand in excels of what had been earned in other fields of labor, tor which labor had created au exchange or home market, and either the farmer or tbe mill owner Both conld not bad to lose the job. get it. The way to {protect the mill owner was to cripple the farmer’s foreign exchange. This way was adopted and ! the farmer was burdened with a heavy tax upou all manufactures the people wanted, which were obtaiued by him iu exchange for his farm surplus. The farmer who had only corn when his neighbors needed sugar bad to pay a tax of fire cents per pound

upon ever? pound of table sugar he brought into the country in exchange for his corn. He had to pay “high American wages” to raise his corn and he had to pay freight both ways. The sugar refiner had no taxes, uo wages and no freight to pay. The refiner paid 14 cents for making 100 pounds out of the 45 bonus received from tha people for every 100 pounds made, $250 to repay the tax pf $2.50 on raw material, and $2.50 additional to pay the difference between foreign and American labor, of which he pocketed $2 36 after paying oat 14 cent as the mil amount of wages to his workmen for making 100 pounds. If the farmer got back on the sale the $5 tax be paid on 100 pounds of refined sugar at the Costom-Ilouso he still la bored under these three disadvantages : 1. He bad to pay wages out of Ilia profits for all work. 2. He had to pa; freight out of his prbfits. 3. He had no “protection” on the corn sold abroad and no bonus. The refiner had no dloadvatages. His protection gave him three advantages: 1. He nas no wages to pa; out of prefits. 2. He had no freight to pa; out of profits. 3. His proteetnn rave him a bonus of 13.33 on each M0 pound* to add to his prof, its. It was the same iu every protected industry; The farmer In every case had to compete against a mill-owner having no wagea and no freight to pay out ot profits, and who had it trust fund to steal from, his yearly thefts from which averaged from 25 to 160 per cent, on his capital investedThis protection of the u»«H*»wuer makes hard times for the farmer who ■(tempts to compete with him. But the mill-owner is not notified with the protection he has. Ho wants tporp. As sure i< the sun shines he wi|l get It. And the farmers will not open their months to protest.

Elsewueke iu this pap r will be found an article explaining how the tariff places into the hands >f a large class of manniactnrers mum iy enough to pay their workmen ami Iso to pay them a profit over and abo’. e ail other expenses. Every farmer should study it closely. No w >ndcr the farmers aud all other la orers are wanting to establish a uni >u among all the different labor elates so that they can deal directly wit h >ne another. But how can we do it. so long as the tariff discriminates a^iinst one class iu favor of another? Toe older countries ars, many of them, in a bad way, pauperism prevailing.
