TUB WAll TAIUTF ANH ITU UlTKt IS. 1 1 remains te consider the roductlen of tax tax atlen te the needs et the government econo mically administered. What hui plus we ex pond In paying oil the greenback, debt will diminish by se much the lmmodlate reduc tion of our tarllt taxation ; for, whlle the funded debt stands, certainly It is net wlse te discard the taxes en whisky, tobacco, and beer. Indeed, It is my own belief that when ever we begin taking off the shackles or war tariff taxes en raw materials, such Increased prosperity will fellow te the employers who dread II, and such larger and steady employ nienl te the wago-earuers who noed It, by In creasing thenalen abroad nf our own manu facturers, and by whipping our forelgn ot.m et.m ot.m petltora In our own markets, that wenhnll soe our luoemo from Imported mstiulscturns dwlndlone fast as net only te eemxl ro'.enllon of theso most lit Ileum of rovenue wlilnky, tobacco and Imer but, rhi, te drive us baek te getting ten millions of revenue from two pent a pound tax nn collee and hall as much from tea. It Is the reduction nf war tarlll taxation that we havn hi oeimlder. The total value of our dniupstle nxHrta for the last fiscal year wai alment exactly IM 000,000, of which 8(1 )Mr cent, were the pro duct or our fields, forests, tlnherlen, and nines. And 10 per cent, only were the sum total of manufactured products In which Amerlcan labor was Inwrought, lu llie Inst quarter of acentury proxies lu tolegrsphn, transportation, laber-navlug Invention", ami the mechanic arts has reducixt the profits of capital and the rati of Intereit morn than one-half has Increased the wge of labor throughout the world ; has augmented by nt toast a third the surplus which our mnnufse turers can produce beyend domentlo needs for sale abroad. Prolonging without 11000s slty our war-tariff taxes 011 raw materials, we have been undersold and excluded from forelgn markets by nations net taxing raw materials. Dnnplte their low-ptlced Inferior labor, and tbe high per cotit cetit cotit age of labor-cost thoreforo Included In their product, our taxed raw materials, and llietr liee raw materials havn protectoil thn ne-called " paiijwr lslsir" of Ihirope against Amerlcan competition. Our Increasing capa city te produce an Industrial surplusage has been accompanied by war taxation exactly sulted te prevent the sale of that aurpluiagu lu foreign marketa. (Jut ofeur actual ahund ahund auce thli war taxation has forged the luntru nisut of our Industrial and oemmerclnl mutilation, Defeatlng our manufacturers In their endeavor te couiete abroad with the manufacturers of untaxed raw malerlals. It has net thorn en a ferocious compcllen at cut throat prlce In our home inarku, te which they are nhut up, aud for which their producing owets are Increasingly superabundant. Ieng (erlndi of glut anil se-called overpreducUtn have alternated with brief periods of ronewed activity and trannleut prosperity llke the present. These prolonged war-tarllt taxex, liicompetont and brutal smji ncheine nf rovenue, fatal te the extension of our forelgn market 1 and disor derly te our domestic trnde, have, In the last resort, acted and roacled w 111! most ruinous Injury upon our waxo-earners. As the most numerous p-irtofeur imputation, our wage earners are of course thn tlrnt, the last, aud most te be allncted by Injurious laws. Kvery government by true slauwrncu will watch fully regard their condition and Interests. If these nre satisfactory, nothing else can be of very momentous nnierlance ; but ourso eurso ourse Cillod protective stateimnushlp has disfavor ed them altogether. Kiicumberlng with clumsy help a low theunaud ompluyern, It has troddeii down the millions of wage earn ers. It has for twenty-one yearn denied themeven the pea 'table fruits of liberty. An official analysis of the last census (Ap pendix K), dlsclOHOS that or the 17,3tr'0VJ ersens lu thoUnlted Htates thenengsged In gainful work (new 20,000,000), about IKi er cent, cinuet be nubjecled te u;cnslul com cem com petltiou, and about 5 per cenL are all who can be, or, rather, wIkhe empleye can.

The taxes te be tlrnt remitted are thme which prevent or hinder tbe sale of our Hur plun products In foreign msrkets. Their ro re ro mevat will set capital lu motion by the premise of hotter returns, enlarge the steady employment aud Incresne the annual Income et many thousand wage-earners, whoe pros. p rity will dllluse prosperity. These taxes are tbe duties en raw materials, and the most widely Injurious of them Is Ihotaxupen raw wool. Hut the Income of all wage earners In the I'nlted States can be at ence enlarged otlectlvol), certainly, jernianentlyt by reducing the cost te them or the great necessities el life. Our war-tariff taxes In. crease needlessly the cost ofclethlnu1, nhelter, reed, te every family. Kvery wage-oanier's expense, oery tax-payer's expense, for the clelhlug efhimseUaud hli family Is nearly doubled, at least in the Northern, Middle, and Western states, by taxation w hlch can new bu remitted, yet leave the treasury a suUlclent retenue. IIIKK CI.OTIU.NU. A etty tax or .'1,120,103 en raw wool asslsta in nearly doubling the actual cost or their clothing te the Amerlcan people, with no real and no Incidental benefit te anybely ex cept the foreign manufacturer. I respecltully roeommond te Cengress that lliey confer upon the wage earners or the I ulted h tales the been nt untaxed clothing, and lu erder thereto the lmmodlate passage of an act simply and solely placing raw wool upon the free list. Ol course a repeal el the duty en raw wool should be followed by, but need net wait for, a cemH.'usatlng adjustment of the duties en maiiulaotured woellens, whilst our manufacturers are learning the Icaseu that with the highest paid and most efficient labor In the world, with the most skilled management aud the beat Inveilllve appli ances, they need fear no competition from any rivals In the world, in home or forelgn markets, se long as they can buy their wool tree el every kind. Hut the common dally clothing or the American people need net be taxed ; therefore, It ought net te be taxed ; te froe their clothing of taxes will Unally red 110, by half, their expense foreno ofitie thrte great nocessltlos of life aud thus onlarge honestly and Justly tbe Inceme el every wage earner in the United Htates. I'HKK WOOL. Hut this roductlen of unuocessiry and In judicious taxation li net enough, aud will eperate slowly lu diminishing rovenue. I,astyear's import tax en raw wool is llttle mere than the mere growth last year of our taxes Irem whisky, tobicce and beer. Te make wool rree of lax may finally work a larger less of rovenue by enabling our woellen manufacturers te underseil at a prom the forelgn Importera who brought In last year $10,630,600 worth of manufactures of wool from which we get a tax of (27,278,628.

Hefore the snow the win ter wheat looked much better than wan autl autl climted a month age. Tobacco stripping 1 going en lively; and the crop, no fares re ro re perted, Is a very geed one. Mr. Cooper raid he thought tobacco culture was asyetlnlta Infancy. Farmers have yet much te learn In regard te growing and curing the weed. They must learn new te avoid whlte veins which se greatly reduces the selling value or thelr goods; and they must adept some means et retarding the tee rapid curing of their tobacco In a dry season, such as we have panaed through. Heme farmers close the tobacco sheds during dry weather, and water the fleer of the building te preduce ar tlllcUl moisture, but even this plan some times rails preperly te euro the leaf. M. I), Kendlg said tobacco growers must keep a constant watch evor the tobacco from the tlme It Is put en the peles. It should be kept as much as posslble lu the dark. It should be kept moist by muring into the cellar enough water te moisten the utnios utnies utnios phero In the tob-icee shed by ovaKratlen ; and care must be taken net togive It tee much moisture, lest the leaf become tee teuder. An for whlte vein he bellevts it re sults from boiiie iuierfeotlen lu the plant, and he knows ue euro for It. Johcnen Miller reKrted the yield of wheat larger and the quality better than was antici pated. The eats crop was unusually large. The corn was perhaps tun per cent, below an average crop. The new winter wheat was pretty well rooted aud loeKod well befere It was cev ured by snow. Net much tobacco has yet been ntrllnxl lu Warwick township. J. Aldus Herr s-ild tliru was a geed deal of tobacco stripped In Weit L .tnpeler, but net much or It had been sold. He had heard of ene crop sold at 20 cents for wrappers, and another at hi or IS cents through. Henry M. Kngle thought It was llkely that the corn wai In quantity ten per cent below au average crop, but In quality It Is certainly ten percent, better than usual. It will be found that grain and hiy and home ether crops are nl ways of better quality when har vested lu dry seasons, such as that of the present year. KSSAT ON lAll.MINu. Aldus C. Herr, of Went I.ampeter, read a long and interesting essay en -the best methods or tanning. He held that as a rule farms are tee targe, and that practical expo expe expo rlenco has proved that smalt farms are mere protltable than large ones. Practical economy en the tann means that system or fnrmlns which produces the greatest possl pessl possl beo amount at the least posslble cost, it does net lollew that the tanner who produces the greatest amount per aero Is the most success ful tanner, rer his great crop may have cost mero than It will return him. The farmer should avoid all unnecessary expense, end bn content with mero moderate crops. Mere theoretical lurmltig will never become sue sue sue I'oeaful until all rarmers become scientists. The essayist belloved that the most succesi ful fanners are theso who grew diversified crejis. They alwa)s have a geed average, even if one or mero of thelr crops fall; while the tanner who devotes all his laud te some special crop, and that crop tails rer a year or two Is Hil te plaoe himself at the mercy of the money leuuer. The thanks of the society was voted Mr. Herr rer his valuable csaay. MKUTINU OKhTArU OltllANI.ATlONS.

Kugle said he held a paper in his hand which did net perhaps pertalu exactly te the business of the Boclety, but as the matter had been widely talked about he would read it. He then read 11 remonstrance against grunting n license for the sale of spirituous liquors at McOrann's nirk. Mr. F.ngle said be would sign tbe re monstrance and hoped every gentleman proa prea put would de thn same. Calvin Coepor thought this association as au association should take no action In the matter. As individuals they could de as they pleosed. He regarded the remonstrance as a direct thrust at Mr. McCJrann, who had treated this society with great gonor genor goner oslty. Win. II. Hreslus held Hlmllarviews. The llcensing of the park was a matter with which the agricultural neclety had nothing te da Hylvoster Kennedy nald he understood that this society had a pecuniary interest in tbe licensing or the park and was thoreloro responsible for the drunken and disorderly conduct that prevailed upon the ground dur ing the late talr. H this was he, the society should take measures te provent a recur rence or the disorder. President Landls oxptalnedthat the charge that this soclety had any ecuulary lnterest in the sale of liquors at 'the county fair was untrue ; neither .did any member of the so se so ceoty have any interest In it He thought the matter should net be noticed bv this socletv. and the Introduction or the remonstrance was nut of order. At the same time bethought the great county of Lancaster ought te be able te get up a great agricultural fatr without having auy connection with rum-sellers. After some further remarks by Messrs. Kennedy, Kendlg, Cooper, Wltmer, Kngle and ethers the matter was dropped without further ftotlen, I'AYMHNT OT ANNUAL HUES. There was a lively discussion en the matter et the payment of dues.

In New Hngland the acrcage and yield will show a decrease, mero particularly in Connecticut. In the seed leaf districts outslde et Wisconsin .the plant conditions wern fairly geed and the quality is geed, es pecially In I'ennsylvanla, where reports Indi cate a crop as geed as ever grown In that state. The New Kngland crop Is also supe rior te most recent crerm. An Increase ever last year I Bhewn in I'ennsylvanla only. In New- Yerk the crop hs fallen off both In acreage aud yield. The total crop of the seven sed leaf states this year will probably aggregate a total of 8I,9I6,0( pounds en an acreage et 09,095 acres. The Pennsylvania crop this veir will rank ns ene of the best ever made, arid the produc tion ler aero li fully equal te that of ihe cen sus year, when the largest crop ever made was grown. The revit-lens made In last year's acreage and yield were, we bolleve, warranted by later Intelligence. Lancaster county this year showed a slight increase In acreage ; the yield will be about i .,000 cases against 33.6S0 caes lat jear. Of this Iho seod-leaf yield will be at ut JJ.oeo cases, against 7,000 cv-es last yer. The yield of Havana seed will beabeut "(0cases,agalnst 31,600 cases last year. The dauiage from all causes will net amount le 1 for cent, lu this county. The plant Is curing very well, with no mero white veins than usual. In Yerk county un Increase In acreage is shown and the yield Is placed at 30,0e0 cases, of which 20,0 K) cases are stated te be Havana leaf.

Consequently, nothing else can behad but secend chnlce nt original figures. Nobody will reduce tigurm.

Ill AT Flatly L'entradlrtrsl by County Cotnmljtlener M jrrs anil Constable I:ieholl--Tre PI e Dellar Illll. In.tMKt of One Ten Dellar Nete Ingram Osiei. County Solicitor Hhenck, In an intorvlew with n ropresontatlvo of the Scv lira pub. Hshed In Atendsy oveulng's edition, en deavors te explain away the serious charges made against him by the Intkli.kiknckh and JCzaminer en Saturday evening. The A'ete 7.rn'.i explanation starts out with the declaration that the aldermen, Justices and constables of the county nup ported him when he was the candidate for county solicitor in 1885. That part of the artlcle Is true. They did support him, but the dis tinct premise made by Shenck, If net by himself, through his Irlendn, was that In con sideration of that support he would net delay tbe approval or their bills. This latter he is new charged with. Neither will he glve his reasons for cutting down tbe bills. The commissioners deny the statement that It was at their suggestion the reduc tion was made It is true; that tbe aggrleved efllclals have a remedy by suit, but In tbe present crowded condition or the docket, It would be long befere the suit would be reached and In the meantime they are without thelr money ler which they have pressing need. Hore Is a Hhenck way or doing business; Alderman Harr presented his bill ler cases disposed or. After the bill had been added up the alderman, In comparing the bill with hli docket, saw lhat there worn en It three or four cases for which he had been paid In a former bill. When he banded tbe bill te Hhenck he called the solicitor's attention te the Items and desired te eraie them from thn bill. The solicitor said : "Never mind, I will de it and it will make me solid with the commissioners when I present the bill with the claims stricken out, as It done by me." S1IKNCK CONTJIADICTED. Shenck nays In his Intorvlew that Commis sioner Alyers authorized him te employ Herace Itoberts te examine the bills of Kote and Oerlltzkh Alyers was seen by an Intel Intel liehnckr reporter this morning. His state ment Is that he never knew that Reberta bad anything te de with the bills until he and Hhenck appoared before the commissioners and explained the duplications in the same. That was tbe first Intimation he had that Hhenck had employed anybody. Commissioners liartman and Gingrich also nay that Heberts was net employed te assist Hhenck. riu: r.tcneLTZ cask. Hheuck's explanation et Eicheltz'a ?10 Is peculiar. According te Shenck's own statement, Klcbeltz did glve him 10. Shenck says It was a f 10 bill, was net a bribe and still Us in his offlce drawer. Elcheltz cays the amount was in two 5 bills, ene from him and one Irem Oflicer Leman. Klcbeltz told this te en Intellieenckb re porter this morning. He said he had been in Shenck's efllce almost dally since and Shenck had never mentioned the money. TIIK INGRAM CASUS. The solicitor does net undertake te explain away the Ingram matter. It was briefly referred te en Saturday. The facts of the case were as fellows : Solicitor Shenck called en Officer I'yle, who was the prosecu tor In the Ingram cases, and said te him that he wanted te get Airs. Ingram out of jail en a writ of habeas corpus, and he would de se If I'yle did net appear against her, and if he get her out, there was 10 lu it for him. As 11 further lnducement te Pyle net te ap pear, Shenck said te blm, " Last month I cut out of your bill the AlcCutcbeen cases, aud lr you don't appear, you can tell AlcCon AlcCen AlcCon emy te put them in the next hill he makes out, and I will approve them." Air. Roberts admits having trled te buy Iinsheng's bill and says there was net much In it for him It he would have bought It for f!X, as the commissioners' clerk had cut it down te some $99 and the expunging was net yet completed. The lact Is that the com missioners' clerk never saw the Bushong bill aud consequently would net have cut It, but tbe bill was in Shenck's bands when Heberts tried te buy It. While technically Solicitor Sbeuk did net become surety for "the beard bill of Heraco Heberts at the Lancaster (county, house, the tact Is undisputed that Sbenk went te Captain Settley nnd engaged beard for Hoberts at the County heusu The business has been dene loesoly at the county treasurer's ollice. The practice is te pay all orders if they bear the slguature of ihe party te whom the erder Is made payable. County Treasurer Urelder admits that Hobens was paid some bills within the last tew months, but there Is net a bill en file showing that Herace Heberts drew a dollar from the county treasury. If business methods prevailed there, as they de in the banks, money orders paid out would bear the name of the party drawing the money aud it would be shown lhat instead of two bills, which Heberts claims he bought, the number would reach a dozen or mero. The best evldence that the county treasurer ad uilta his former motbeds te be faulty Is a new rule which he has Just adopted and that Is that the drawer of the money must In all cases hereafter put his name te the order te declgnate who received the money.
