TO THE TAXPAYERS. In a recent issue of the Frkss we presented somo figures showing the present Riluntion of county affairs. We have so far seen no disavowal of their correctness, and may as sume that they area fair statement. The question of taxation nearly con cerns every taxpayer, and a careful enquiry should bo made whether our rate of 10 mills on the assessed valuation of tho county is actually j Rnflicient to pay fixed cha rges and the j i necessary current expenses. o are I not palliating what may be teiined by some unnecessary outlays, or extravagances. Wo are for the pre sent assuming that the county af fairs are honestly, judic iously, and economically managed. Jf they are not, tho people who have the ballot can at tho proper time rectify this difficulty. Tho questions which the people should carefully consider are first, does tho present levy on the valuation raiso sufficient funds for a proper administration and second, is the burden of taxation so adjust ed as to bear equally on all classes. While taxation bears heavily yet it must be conceded that money is necessary to cany on tho public business and to protect poisons and proporty. Wo must bo taxed, but no fair minded citizen will say that taxos should be unequally imposed. Tho burden should, so far as possi ble, be exactly adjusted to the pro portion which every man ought to pay. This is a fair proposition, and should moot with unanimous appro val. Wo uro of tho opinion that the present levy is insufficient to meet the necessary and unavoidable out lays. New bridges are being con stantly placed on tho county, and while this relieves local taxation it increases it generally, and probably in tho end is more equitable than to compel the townships to bo at the expense of maintaining them. But so long as grand juries see fit to im pose theso additional expenses they mubt bo met. In tee past there have, been com paratively few jury terms of court, and this has lessened expenses. Let us assume that four terms in a yt iir are necessary as they may be, and at all events should be provided for, then with the bridges and other fixed and ordinary expenses, the county cannot keep out of financial straits on, say 111,000 per year. .Some may say borrow if necessary, as is now being done to tide over emer gencies. Look at it two per cent for tho treasurer receiving tho bor rowed money, two per cent, for pay ing out, and tlx per cent, to the lenders, then to repay (he money fivo per cent, to the collector of tuxes, two per Cent, nirnin to tlie treasurer for receiving and two per. cent, for paying out, nineteen per eciit. total to tlio taxpayers. Would if not bo economy to linve tins per cent, applied directly to t ho pay ment of debt t At least teu icr cent, of the above would bo saved, mid can any farmer in theso times nft'ord to pay ten per cent on j ni'mcy ? The act of assembly relating to an il "snient wiys Ibat it shall bo the duty of assessors to nssesn, rate uiul valno all objects of taxation accord ing to tho actual valuo thereof, and at such rates and prices for which the. same would separately " bona fido " sell. It is urged by some that as this would greatly increase the aggregate Valuation it would also in crease taxation. It is easy to see how in the hands of extravagent of ficials pue.li might bo the case, but it is also a sad commentary on tho in telligence, and discretion of voters to say that they will elect to office men who must be fettered, and circum scribed by limitations in order to make them careful and honest. It imrassessed county valuation is, say 1,000,000, 10 mills will raise 10,000 for taxes. Supposo wo raise the valuation to four million dollars then a two and a half mill rate will raise tho same amount. This method would enable the county to go on without borrowing, but it has in its favor what is of equal or greater im portance to a majority of tho tax payers, it would tend to equalize taxation. If tho people cannot un der any circumstances trust their o Tlcials, there is another method by which tho result can bo obtained. Assess nil property at its cash value as required by law, and then di vide by some arbitrary figure as 3, 4, or 5. River flats within a mile of Port Jcrvis aro assessed at 122.50 per acre, and so they aro all the way to Bushkill. Is there no dilTer O'.ice. in their actual cash valuo ? Improved hill lands are assessed at 10 per acve indiscriminately, Are thoy t.qnl,iiy wortu it? Timbor land langes firm i to :), the poor- est Barron and the bei-t timbered acre. B ihiH lin !1Ssessmei,t ? Houses worth IH, 000 rated at 75, those worth 110,000 at f 1,000, and tho range may bo said to bo all the way from one-tenth to one-third of their value. Who pays tho taxes ? Many other illustrations could be given We submit theso rather amusing, but wholly ridiculous figures to show that tho patient people will grumblo at their taxes, but sit "till year after year without any at tempt to rectify the glaring inequal ity. Our propositions aro that the prosont valuation is inadequate to raiso tho necessary tux and that the taxes raised aro inequitably propor tioned by tho present system of as sessment, and on theso we invite tho fullest discussion.

Despite tho hostility of tho Hi to-1 free-coinagists, President McKin ley's bimetallic commission is still meeting with very favorable reeep. Hon wherever it goes, and its re ports are greatly encouraging to the friends of international bimetallism. Mr. Bryan's recent announcement that he expects to speak in every county in his own State in the com ing campnicn leads to tin snspi"ion that bis enthusiasm in regard to (iiiio is not as great as it was before that State iii it-s convention refused to endorse him for the nomination in 19"0. It is a "low down" thing on the part of tho great business firms of the east, to havo ordered their west ern representatives to resume the making of loans on farm nroiiertv at low rates of interest, lust as tho Pops and "Anarci ats" are preparing to make "senrcitv .of nn nev" ti e chief cry of t heir fall campaign. The preliminary conventions of gold Democrats which have lieen held in most, ot tho States in which elections are to take place this f:ill sliow a mueli larger poreontmo of Democrats linini. up with the gold wing of the party than in last fall's campaign, and tho lenders of the gold Democracv aro greatly en couraged by this fact. Despite the enormous importa Hons of manufactured goods, the manufacturers of the country are showing an improved business con dition. Reports from various sections-show an increase in the num ber of bale's employed and hours occupied. Reports from Dun's Ro view covering tho failures for the month of Juno show that the fail ures among the manufacturers were only i'ilS against 24 in Juno of last year, while tlie liabilities were only li,;iC5,010 against tH.SOO.BSI, in June of last year, and $12,150, Wb in June i8in. A reduction in tho tariff on coal by tho Wilson bill was followed by a reduction in wages amounting to nearly as much er ton as tho reduo Hon of tho duty. That act cut down tho coal tariff 35 cents per ton, which is a littlo more than Presi dent Itatchford claims as having taken place in 1893 in the reduction of wages. If 35 cents reduction in tariff cuts down wages 25 or 30 cents per ton, would tho removal of the entire duty, as urged by Mr. Bryan in his speech in Congress of Juno 13, 1S94, leave the miners any employ, ment at, nil? No tariff law which has gone up on tho statute books within tho memory of tho present generation has been as cordially approved and endorsed even by members of the party opposed to it as is the ease with this one. Tho growth of tho protectivo-tiinlT sentiment in all parts of the country, coupled with tho fact that the new law destroys tho advantages given to the trusts under the Wilson law, make it an esiKicially popular measure, while the advantages which it gives to the farmers, as well as tho manufacturer adds to its general acceptability. The Bryan-Altgeld wing of the Populist larty is very much dis turbed over tho result of tho Nash ville convention, in which 700 re presentatives of tho Populist party declared against future alliances with the Democratic or any other political organizations. The digni fied and vigorous utterances of that convention, representing, as it did, a lare majority of tho Populists of tho United States, make it perfectly apparent that the diys of fusion be tween Populism and Democracy are over, and that the silver Democrats, who lost their gold associates last year, will lose that Other wing ot their party from this timo forward. Tho statements of the fiscal year just ended show that the agricul tural element of the country has en joyed a greatly improved condition during tho past year, while other statement received hero aro equally gratifying as to tho prospects for tho coming year. Tho exportation of breadstuff's during tho year end ing June 30, 1897, amounted to tisy,. 838,8:28, in value against, 13rt,84ii, 845 in the fiscal year ending June 30 189(5, and 110,967,758 in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895. This is an increase of '."3, 000,000 in the lockets of the farmers for tho year just ended for breadstuff's alone, as compared with the preceding year, nnd an increase of 179,000,000 com pared with the year 1895. Tho ex portations of cattle for the fiscal year, just ended amounted to about 43,000,000 mnro than in the preced ing year fresh beef inejesaed about 4,000,000, hams 13,000,000. Currency Action Urged.

While the lawmaker wr here they munatfed to keep up In terest In cut rent events, but as sensa tion makers they are not In the atime class with Governor Hastings. Senator Quay and a few other. Just when the atmosphere wim clearlna; nnrl the leeis lative inlets were fast belna; dissipated. Senators Quuy and Penruse dropped Into town, and left a few hours later, itfter ctartinn the liveliest (tort of a po litical row. of course, there are all sorts of versions of their call upon Governor Hastings at the executive department, but there Is only one ror rert story of th now famous Inter view, and It Iff about as follows; Our Iiik the sepslon of the legislature a tw Kepublb an organization was formed in Philadelphia, known as the combine of ward leaders rt was a Quay organiza tion, and was coneel'ved In a desire to dethrone David Martin ne the recog nized leader of the party In the Quaker City. lint In order to down Martin It was necessary to also down the city administration, which Is in the hands of hie friends. Mayor Warwick Is a Murlin man. Having failed to capture the mayor, the new combine had Intro duced In the legislature by Senator liecker a bill requiring all appoint ments of the mayor In Philadelphia to be confirmed by three-fifths of the members of select council. For awhile the bill was hune up in the house, and It was suspected that It would bp de- tc atcd. but pressure was brought to bear by loirrot'liner combinations, an ! finally the n 1 e su re was pushed through. Now it Is In the hands of the governor, and nobody has any other idea than that It will be vetoed. So much by way of prelude. Gover nor HHstingB was Importuned to ap prove tin; bill, tut he was offish, and the supporters of the measure deter mined to call Senators Quay and Pen rose to their aid. So they came to Har risburs and had an Interview with the governor. It was a red hot confer ence, and it broke up In a ruw. Sena tor Penrose was the firebrand He was particularly anxious to have the Rrrker bill !g,r d. and Instated that It should have the approval of the gov ernor When the latter Intimated that he would not sign the bill the junior senator became quite indignant, and strongly Intimated that the friends of the grovernor might suffer In conse quence. This was taken to mvan that the Quay people would not support Major I.ev MrCauley for auditor gen eral, and that certain Appointees of the governor wouM not be nominated by the party conventions. Governor Hast ings was so enraged by these tactics of coercion that he responded hotly lo Senator Penrose's suggestions, and gave him to understand that he had appointed good men and that (hey could take care of themselves Senator Quay deprecated the remarks 0 his colleague, and said that Major Mc Cauloy must be nominated. He then announced that he would be a candi date for re-election ts the senate. A Kacttouul War Inevitable. Returning to their hotel. Senators Quay and Penrose met smuti nowpapr men and related that, having s-en Ooverntfr Hytlnifs, It hrd been de termined by Pt'imtor Quay to be a can didate for the senate once more, and that Governor Hastings had promised te support him. As soon as the atten tlon oi the governor waj called to this statement he denied point blank that he had been asked to support Senator Quay. Meanwhile the adherents of both fa-rtion have be-n placing their swn const ruction upon the results of the Interview, and It is expected (hat bun.e lively factional politics may bs en gendered by this episode. It Is agreed upon all sidea that the break would probably not have occurred In the ab sence of Senator Penrose He ts per sona noil grata at the executive depart ment. II is believed that a factional war in the Republican party la Inevitable, and that wtnl" peace may be muin talnevl on some suit of a basis this year, trouble Is almost sure to cotiw with the gubernatorial cumpalgn la IttifS. Governor Hasting has said to rn recaudly that he has no political ambition, but the trend of events dur ing tht publ ten days Is In the direc tion of his candidacy for Senator Quay's seat at Washington. The political drift ts also toward the nomination of At torney Geiteral McCormkk by th auti Uuay element for governor.

It Is not doubted by the e over nor t hat many of the Items are correct, but Ms suspicions have been a roust-d by the big totals. For Instance, the tnvernor wants t j know, In the matter of the expenses of the commit tVe which Investigated the office of the dairy and food com missioner, how the Items were made up, as follows; Sergeant -at -arm 3, $Mu.i0: sergeant-at-arms. mileage, $IS0G; witness fees and expenses, r.5.ti0; com mittee expenses, steeping car berths, $10S; witness fees and expenses, $(!. assistant set gcant-at -arms, $77.Wi; Ho tel Ouqnesne.

These Items the governor regards as too gen eral, and he wants them itemized There are seme big itms for stenog raphers, running up as high as $1.6t". and the governor has asked for t It n airier and addresses of these stenog in phet's, am1 a Iso for copic of tneir nofep.

He Is disposed to veto it. and If It Is approved It wlli be because the governor think, the charitable Institutions will suffer for hit k of money whit h must other wise be denied them on the revenua score. It .Is suspected that the gov ernor Is now trying to cut down tho appropriations for big educational in stil vi t tons. Investigating committees and the like, in order to make the sign ing of the mercantile bill unnecessary as a revenue measure. His Judgment ts against the bill. There can bo no question on that score, but he has not yet glwn any indication of what his action will be on th? bill.' It Is esti mated conservatively that the bill will produce about $iio0.0'!) in revenue, but some merchants say this amount will be Incieased under the inquisitorial provisions of the bill to I'MMO.OOu 0r $4.

Other Important bills still on the gt-ernor's table are the cMmon electrt: light scheme, requiring municipalities to purchase existing elect 1 1c light plants before establishing their own; the Pecker confirmation bill, previously referred to; the amended Hquur lb'cnse bill; the Ornie bill taxing store orders, and the Kunkle bill providing for the placing of a uxlltary fire alarm boxes In factory and oflk-e bulldlnas.
