Tbe joint stock companies engaged in manufacturing and trading in Peon sylvaoia are making a desperate effort to defeat tbe provisions of the new Revenue bill proposiug to impose a small tax upon ineir shares. In bis testimony before the Committee on Ways and Means, Auditor General Mc Camant shows that this tax i3 both equitable and necessary Tne Auditor Genetat treats as an ab surdity the pretense tbat a tbre mill tax urn tbe shares of joint stock com panies would drive manufacturers from the S.ate ; bat If it should possibly re sult m diminishing the number of these corporation :n private business no harm would be doi.e. There is enough ir dividu-il energy, enterprise and caii taliocope with every department of jrivete industry In the Siate. Joint stock companies in manufacturing and in bui ins and Belling commodities are Invited Ly the Sta'e inio a domain which does not legl'lmately belong io them. Tnese triificial persons, without sool or narrow, engaaed in private business are the sworn enemies of workingmen. Tbey do not bold the relations wab workmgmen which should exist be tween tbe employer and the employed. The owner of the shares and the earner of the dividends In corporation shop, factory or mine aie o known to each oih r, aud are not uti ed by the slight est tia of human sympathy. This class of corporations ar tbe first to leduce and ibe last to raise tbe rate of wages.

The Act of ls74 authored tbe Incors p raiiou of j i ii stock company to carry on any manufacture or trade, from diegir.g col to selling corse's, ought to be replied, so that the propagation of i he brood may cese in PeUnslvHnia.

The other aay a private business firm In Philadelphia woun up ls affairs after an existence since 1733. Whit joint stock company in manufacturing ana traae can show such vitality ? In very large por ion of these companies the shares aradoally fall into tbe bands of a few individuals, and the business is nominally mtintained under the cor porate title. In another and by no means inconiderab!e portion the money invested in tbem hs been utter ly los', for the reason that, a a role, join stock companies are nt conuctd wi-h the economy, prudence and care which individuVs devote, to the man egeir eot of their business afftirs. As it is manifest that these corpora tions Id private business are do longer necessary, if they ever were, for the development of the industries and re sources of the S'Rte. it is the duty of the Legislature to arrest their growth in v ew of the grave evils which they irifl ct upon the community.

Tbe peculiar epidemic that recently appeared among tbe pupils of tbe Soi diers Orphans' School at McAliater ville, Juniata county, is another of tbe many pointed admonitions tbe Legisla ture bas bad of tbe infamy of tbe meth ods of tbe heartless syndicate that eoc tin's tboee schools in Pennsylvania. It Is idle '.o speculate as to pprcial causes of the sad condition of mny of the McAUsterville pnpi's. Toe fact that physicians are perplexed iu their efforts to define tbe disease shows bow serious it is ; and when it is remember ed tbat speculation on tbe aut ject takes in every phase of violent mental and physical derangement from insanity to hysteria, tbe grave and far reaching na ture of the malady may re appreciated. This same McA isitrvi le school was taken Iron, its owner a few years ago because it was alleged to be poor y fed, badly heated and Veotbated aud gener ally -discreditable ; and it is an open secret tbat such actual fraud in lis management were brought to the knowl edge of tbe authorities as should bave not only blotted out tbe school but made its proprietor answer io the crimioai dock. But the power of tbe syndicate pre vented honest exposure of tbe manage ment or the school, and any attempt to punish either fraud or brutality and crime was condoned and thus invi'ed to continue to ply its vocation because the truth would have tore np tbe whole in famous system by theroo s. And now people are wondering why more than a acore of the pupils are el' her Insane or suffering such nervous derangement as is akin to insanity, when 4S bovs are crowded into a room 35x40 feet with poor food and poor clothing. There is now only one remedy for 'his mingled fraud uuoo the State ard brutality to tbe orph u cf our soldiers. and that is to tear tbe whole system up by tbe roots, refuse pr to the svnd cate for claims now due and refuse to appro priate any public money for the contin uance of the schools by the syndicate. Every consideration of ndividual and public jns ice demand- ht the schools should be closed In 1691. as the law now directs, and tbe omy Question tbat Ihe Legislature should consider 1 the best method of ending the whole busi ness next year. It can be done wi'bout injustice to any. and let the State end the speculative sys'em of pauperism Into which its noblest charity bas de genera' ed nrder il.e power of fraud and greed. I'hila. Time. The Tresent Issue. We note that tbere Is a question raised as to whether the Prohibition amendment will be made a party quest tion. To which we bave to say tbat. so far as tbe Democratic party is con cerned, the question answers itself. Since tbat party has always opposed tbe prohibition iolicy as contrary to its futidamental doctrine. The Democrat ic party is founded epon tbe defense of the individual liberty of tbe citizen and noon opposition to sumptuary laws tbat undulv tmeifere with it. It proclaims tbat every man is free to do as be pleases to do, so tbat in so doing be does not interfere with the same right enjoyed bv o'hr men and to do them injury. He may get drunk.
