WEDNESDAY, DEC. 2, '91. Taxes end Liberty. WilrairgtOH Messenji-r. Why should the American manufac tarer be the very special favorite of the ?f-:i; xJnited States Government? And why should the people at. large be so heavily hardened aod taxed ali the year round &??? for the enrichment of the said Ameri? can manufacturer? Why is not the great class of merchants or the greater class of farmers just as much favored a>? this man who makes goods under a system that furthers and prof tots trusts and combines ? it is an outrage upon justice, reason and humauity that thin thing exists. The farmers would be more united ?ud determined than .they :.V are if they understood better the great barden that the lixdical tariff tax sys? tem imposes upon them. In Ohio, iu Kansas, tn Pennsyl .V vania, in Massachusetts, in New York on the 31 of November last, a great many farmers voted for the Republican candidates who stood up in advocacy of the McKinley monstrosity. Nothing ;v', but the densest ignorance and thc most .' incurable fanaticism and credulity could possibly lead men to rhos vote for their own oppression and undoing. Surely a campaign of education is very great? ly needed now Whenever the far " mers ?nd other oppressed classes pro? foundly realize how great an outrage protection is, they will show their wrath anti indignation at the polls. The farmers need first, and above all other things, a change in the tax sys? tem. The high tariff operated for monopoly, trusts and the Money Devil, must te first razeed, and in a most rad ~ > ?s?i w*y. After l?wer taxes are secured, then the next important questioo, as we con? ceive it, is a return to the theory and practice of the past-to get rid of pa? ternalism and all force laws. The Re pablicau party is much inclined to enact laws of repression and oppression for - - the special benefit of the South aud ,?V v the Force bill of the last infamous Con? gress may be and probably will be an ?y 4?soe in 1892. Kenny Harrison, the ir-..-?- President of the Republican party, is K[: Icoown to'be the most pugnacious, perti ??? ?acious, perverse, persuasive, patroniz? ing, palavering friend and fug-eman of <bts damning, ferocious, despicable tueasare. Down with all Force bills if this country ia to prosper aud our iib ?ref- ?rt?es aro to the protected and con? served. After tkese are safe, then financial matters must be specially consi iered by the farmers and all the toiling masse.v ?of the people. Taxation and liberty come first. They are fundamental and imperious. % *eAnother Tura of the Screw." Anderson Journal. SK find the following editorial in the %J '.. -Cotton Plant of last week. It is headed "Another furn of the Screw," bat it is more properly another crack of the whip : **We have it upon un i tn peach able authority that a eecret circular has been sent out from the Northern and Kaste: n Basks to all country banks notifying the latter that if they let out any money to Alliance n?eu at all, they must make up their minds to do withou* help from said Norrheru banks. fJer? you have it, farmers. B-cause yon have dared to f%Wi against the system ?tie robbery perpetrated npon you ia the past, the ?crews nre to be tightened upon you Dots ihia explain thc refusal of some bau ks to carry theil agreement to advance on cotton tatt ?Sect ? They have a right to boycott rtic Alliance, of course, if they choose to di so; but they must not be surprised i the Alliance takes a band in the mattel itself. Certainly it is but human to strik< back when one is attacked ; and then is a sight of human nature io men ?specially Alliance men. We cuufi bently expect our order to resist thi *ggre<?siou. By the way, what do ou high jinbs newspapers think of thi secret circular business ? They are outraged by the bare ide of the farmers holding secret meetings and d?vi>-iug means for the advance ment of their interests. They have nc &eard of this secret effort to ooerce th farmers into a surrender of their ills * we suppose-or else it is ail right i the nek man, a crime in the poor man We have lt also upon equally >^> authority that a certa;., capitalist A lues within a thousand milis of tb Cotton Plant rfl?oe and ?ho hole1 T'. - .es on a host vf homes in thre Kouu?ie? bas openly declared his purpos to force every Alliance mau who ow? him to come to time. This means, i ti year like this one, distress to at iea< one-third of the farmer homes in ti two counties covered by this mau operations This may he in the strict line of leg rights ; but this man and his ilk wou! do well to consider the ad op* iou of sat measures-especially wh?;u the weall . ?ow used to grind and oppress the fa mer has been amassed as many believ by extortion from the farmers, it wou be well for these men to hesitate belo goading further the distressed faro; already at bay. A stay law is a bi law generally ; hat those who use t] law to oppress must roi be surprised the opp:essed in their desperation d mand extravagant rcdiess from the la' And yet there are farmers who do n believe, or profess not to see any ne< for organization among ?he farmers f their protection. Is it possible the farmers aro going stand idle while the hoi;.cs of the brethren are going under the hamm af the nod of pride-swollen plutocrats The officers of the Anderson bao soy they never heard of any such sect circular, and don't belh-vo any su action has b?i-n taken by the Northe and Kastern bankers, a* it would both unwise and unjust We respe fully ask the Cotton Plant to produ the evidence that such circular has be received by a single bank in this Srr. AB to the last charge that a certa capitalist declares hin intention to foi close his mortgages 3gain.-t Alliau men. it is probably a local matter which wc know norning. - ? -r.mi At the session of N?>v. lTtli of t worldV and :. r nal IV.

His Little Scheme for Having Fun with the Farmer. Among the passengers on a Phila? delphia train coming north the other .day were several New York dm Hi? mers. One o' the latter was a coltish young man, who prided himself on being a student of human nature. Where a number of drummers are gathered together there you will hear boasting and bragging, and each and every one will put forward his par? ticular specialty as the best joke or trick of the season. The young man's specialty was by-and-bye duly explained. Said he : ' Gentlemen, I have a little scheme which 1 have named the 'John ?T?':: ry' scheme. It is worked entirely on the farmer, and it furnishes one with a wonderful insight into the charac? teristic* of the horny-handed sons of U il. Perhaps you didn't know that the farrrer is naturally the most suspicious person in existence, albeit he is oftenest made the victim of sharpers ?" Two or three of the nowd doubted the truth of the assertion, which was just what the coltish young man de? sired, and he continued : "1 p'opose to prove what I have said. I have made a study of the fanner, and I know hi?? from head to heel. Yon all see this watch? It is a bang up timepiece and cost $150. If it had Wateibnry woiks and a plated case, and was worth about $6, I could sell it to a farmer for $15 as easily as rolling o?r a log As it is straight goods it would scare a farmer to death to offer it to him for ten " "I think he'd snap it up/' observed one of the boys. "That shows you aro not posted. | There is probably at least one farmer in the co-ch ahead I'll just bet you an even $10 that I will offer him this watch for an X and he will take me for a fakir and refuse to invest " After s( me hesitation the stakes were put up, and, followed by two of the party, the young man entered a day-coach. Almost the first passen? ger in sight was a middle-aged farmer. Ile had tm an old straw hat, was without a collar, and one of his cowhide bo<?ts rested on the other seat as he interested himself in a newspaper "My fi temi," begun the young j mau, as he smiled a bland and seduc? tive smile, ? J have met with misfor? tune, and am obliged to'' "I hain't got no money to give awn)'," interrupted I he fanner. "I do not ask for charity," contin? ued the young man "1 have a tine watch here which I propose to dis? pose of for cash to relieve my tempo rary embarrassment.'' ' Don't want no watch." "But let me explain. Here is a watch worth $150. I will sell it for $10. T ke it and look it over." . The farmer hesitated for a while and then took it, held it to his ear, shook it once or twice and said : "I don't claim to be the sharpest man in this woiid, but I do ?aie to be taken for a hayseed." "Noone takes you fora hayseed, rn}* dear fe low. I simply ofter to yell yon my ?150 watch for $10." "Oh that's it eh ? Wall I guess Til take it! Ile dropped the watch into his pocket, fished up a ten do'.lar bill, and continued : "Half the wheels may be gone when I come to examine it. but a feller must take some chalices in this world." Then the coltish young man turned red and white ami blue and he smiled and stuttered and stammered, and his bland smiles faded away as he explained that it was all a joke. The otht r would not have it shat way, however, and he finally d??*ed the argument by spitting on his hands and rising np to fight the whole crowd. Ile kept the watch, and the young man from ?ust? n will have an armful of sorrow to hug foi a year to come, ile doesn't know that one of the New Yorkers, having heard of the trick and expecting ht would work it, had that farmer posted half an hour in advance. If he did il would break his yoting and confiding heart.-M Quad in N. Y World. They Could Count on Him. A lot of young traveling mea tempo? rarily located at a. cozy Wisconsin hotel Su?day got np a conspiracy against the landlord. Everything about the hotel was perfection itself. Tue cookery was superb, the service first class, the ap? pointments of the hostelry all that could be desired, and the charges reachable, but these wild young men, ia secret con? clave assembled, resolved to make tli? proprietor's life miserable for one day by kicking individually and collectively 'against everything.

Advertising as an Investment. Advertising is u tax on him who so re? ga??s it Only when lie has learned to look upon it as an investment, and treat it as such, giving it Iiis time and thought, will it develop into a thing that pays. Newspaper advertising space, like most other kinds of property, has two values; tc wit, what it costs the advertiser and what it is worth to him. Therefore, in buying it, he should consider its charac? ter as well as its price.-The Roller Mill. A Coon to M;iii. The newspaper advertising columns are a boon to man. They help him out nf his troubles and into the smiles of pros? perity. If Truth is contemplating the erection of a new arch, she c.nnot do a more consistent thing than to choose for its keystone: Hi' who in this world would risc Mu?>t read the papers and advertise. . -Chicago Herald. A Striking Advertisement. A certain advertisement, printed fully ten years ago, is still recalled as having been to this effect: "Two-thirds of your life is spent in your clothes. Why not have comfortable clothes?" It was a truism of course, but pnt in that form and with the "two-thirds" printed boldly as a fraction it was peculiarly striking. -Philadelphia Ledger. Cannot Afford to Stoj>. There is a reason why a business that has been built up by advertising cannot afford to stop or change its tactics. The class of trade that has been secured is the kind that is influenced by advertis? ing, and he who would hold it must con? tinue using the same means.-Printers' Ink. _ The Keystone of Success. Because a man is doing a big business and making money is no reason why he should not make more, and man}' a mill? ionaire has found that letting people know what tie had to sell was the key? stone of success.-Rome (N.
