Hew would the repeat et the Internal
revenue law affect the farmer?" lathe ques ques
Uen that wm set down for general discussion.
The discussion took a wlde range, and all
aorta of arguments were offered pre and con.
Wm. Chandler did net think the repeal of
the internal revenue lawa would ba advanta
geeus te the larmer ; revenue mutt ba
raised te carry en tha government, and It la
much easier te collect an indirect than
direct tax. The internal tax waa confined te
whisky, beer and tobacco, and aa these were
regarded a luxuries they could bear tha
tax.
A. II. Hummy raid the Internal revenue
lawa were bringing Inte the United Htatea
treasury mero money than was needed. Ha
would favor the continuance of the law, If
the revenue could be applied te local Instead
of national purpose.
Wm. U. liresius favored equal taxation en
all klnda el property ; It was net fair that the
farmer should be taxed and the holder of
railroad, bank and ether stocks and bends
escape with little or no taxation. Ha favored
a reeeal of tha law.
Jehnsen Miller, of Warwick, argued that
the repeal of the internal revenue law would
Injure the farmer; It would disastrously
affect the cigar manufacturing Interest which
la an Important interest In Lancaster county.
Ua hid learned that nearly all cigar manu
facturers wera in favor el the law.
Wm. U. Brealua took an opposite view.
Ba believed that the tobaecco Interests would
ba greatly Improved by tha repeal el the law.
Under It a comparatively few men can afford
te engage In manufacturing cigars. If It
wera repealed every one who chose te de se
could engage In the business and tha tobacco
farmer would have twenty customers where
ba new has one.
J. Hartman Herahey could net aee bow It
waa possible te help tha farmer or any one
else by taxation. He favored thi lepeal of
the taw.
F. It. DiffendertJar aald the large manufac
turer s favored tha tax en tobacco and cigar
and the small manufacturer oppose It be
cause It put them at a great disadvantage
with their rleb rival. They could net afford
te take out license and keep books, and glva
bend for aueh workmen aa the rleh could
de.
l'eter H. Relst waa undecided aa te whether
tha law ought or ought net te ba repealed.
Ba rather thought It aheuld be repealed and
direct taxation ba resorted te. lie spoke of
tte Immense expensa or running the na
tional, atate aad county office, aad aald that
great and waataful tipwdlterw would
never lie tolerated If the taxpayer had te
reach Inte their peckataand pay tha taxea.
Tim CAM. PAIR.
Jehnsen Mlller aald that ler eemayaar
past the aeciety had Ulkad about holding
'air. Ha would Ilka te knew what was
going te I dena thl year. Tha Ianeaatar
Fair aaaoelatlon has already taken measure
te held a lair. Ha thought tha association
whleh represented Lneaater county ahenld
take a leading part la any fair that waa In
landed te represent thl great county. Ua
did net think tha ralr should ba run In tha
Intercut of a few men who wera net farmer.
Wm. If. Brealns explained that tha Lan
caster Fair aaaoelatlon waa net organized
until after the Lancaster county agricultural
aaaoelatlon had positively declined te held a
fair, although Mr. Meflrann had offered them
the meat liberal term mere liberal than ha
bad given the Fair association.
A. 11. Hummy 'denounced the management
of tbe Fair association In the most vituper
ative language and declared that It waa run
In the Interest of "a one horse railroad " and
the "nark beer saloon." He charged that a
eecret meeting hail been held In Lawyer
Montgomery 'a elUce, at which "a emart
little broker ' and two "great Duke street
lawyers" have eat up a Jeb In their own In
terests, and bad given no notice of tha meet
ing either te film (Mr. Hummj) or te many
ether member of the Fair association. He
denounced the management for permit
ting poe'.aclllng and beer-drtnktng en tha
fair ground and for licensing snake ahewa
and fat women exhibitions and ether im
proper aide-shows, and especially the beer
department.
Mr. liresius tried te explain te the Irate Mr.
Hummy that the Lancater County Agricul
tural aecletv. the Fair association and tha
Agricultural I'ark awnclatlen were three dla
tlncterganlratlnna. Mr. McUrann, the owner
of the park, bad secured a restaurant license
Irem the court. It was his purpose te rent
the park for fairs, baae ball games, trlalaef
speed, or ether purpose. The leasee waa
bound te furnish meals and drink te tbeae
who called for them. The lessee were net
In any way accountable for the license. At
last year's fair the Fair association did net
receive one cent from the proceeds et tha
beer saloon, nor would tbey receive scent
from the saloon at the coming fair.
Aa te the "one horse railroad" which
Mr. Hummy bad tried te ridicule, he
reminded that gentleman that he a a stock
holder or the Fair ataoctattea, bad made
money out of It the railroad company hav
ing given 80 per cent, of It pretlta te tha
Fair association. Mr. llreslii wlihed te Im
press his hearers with the fact that the Agri
cultural aeciety bad nothing at all te de
either with McUrann'a park or the Fair asso
ciation, and that the uncomplimentary re
marks made by Mr. Hummy were entirely
out et order.
Mr. Hummy persisted Iq hi assertion that
the ralr were being run by a few tricky In
sider In the interest or the beer saloon. He
waa opposed te the aale of beer and the pre,
enee or mountebank show at a county fair,
and held that the fairs aheuld be conducted
by farmer and net by unprincipled specu
later.
Mr. Chandler was oppessd te the aale or
bear at a county ralr. Farmers want te take
their wives and daughter, and they cannot
de se if vulgar and drunken men are per
mitted leatagger around the ground.
Jehn C. Llnvllle aald he was one el the
manager et last year' ralr and he had aeen
no drunkenness or bad behalnr that aheuld
call for aunh denunciation aa bad here been
Indulged in ; and It there had been any
drunkenness hew were we te knew whether
It waa caused by the beer sold Inside or the
whisky sold at the two Uverns just outside
the park T Thl society could have had the
park en the most liberal terms aad have
held a ralr under such regulations aa It
chose, but It did net have the nerve te as
sume the responsibility or nTerlng pre
mlums and Incurring ethor expenses. Itdld
net become the aeciety therefore te tlud fault
with the management et another society that
had assumed the responsibility and made
their fairs a Bucceas.
H. P. Kby, eq , said he wished the public
te distinctly understand that the 1. monitor
County Agricultural and Horticultural aeciety
had nothing whatever te de with the Lancas
ter Fair association.
After some further discussion, Including an
anti-beer apeecb by Jacob McAllister, Htmen
Herabey asked whether the society could net
secure grounds outside or McU ratio's park In
which te held a county fair, and in which
there would be no beer, no peel Railing and
no race.
Mr. Hummy answered that there could be
secured a tract or 25 or 30 acre, with a lease
or five or tea years, and that a better ralr
could be given than was ever given In the
park.

J. Aldua Uerr aald he bad planted some
cherry treea, that were new thirty test high,
but they have never bloomed. He asked
what he aheuld de te make them bloom.
Jehn U. Rush aald he aheuld root-prune
tha treea cut ctl two or three prominent
roeta and thua atop the rapid growth or the
treea.
H. 1'. F.byaald a friend or his who bad
some line persimmon trees, girdled the
limbs when the sap was Mewing, rbr the
purpose or making them bear. He cut en
tirely through the bark, opening a space as
bread aa the back or a pruning knife.
Mr. Llnvllle aald the practice was an old
one, but bad never been very favorably con-
aldered.
Dr. J. P. Wlckeraham asked for a remedy
that would prevent the borer from killing
hla peach tree.
Heveral remedies were recommended ; tar
paper tied around the butt el the treea ; a
free use or the knife and a wire In the hole
or tha borer ; a piece or tin thrust Inte the
ground, and wrapped around the stock or the
tree; waab the trunk or the tree wltb whale
oil aeap, and tie atreng paper around it ; apply
nrina or waste tobacco te the tree at the sur
face of tha ground.

The Naw Tork Market.
from the U. 8. Tobacco Journal.
The market Is bright and active. Manu
facturers are experiencing a spell of geed
business, and their purchases consequently
keep abreast with their activity. The feeling

ble. There certainly exists very little te mar
the splendid prospect, especially as, alnce
the opening of the week, a transfer or a pack

packing consisted et 400 cases at 11 cents.
The apparently low figure places the te-

when holder or new tobacco love se well te

Sumatra Active. The report or the nrst
sale or new Sumatra was hailed with every
expression of aatUfactlen en the part et Im
porter. The tobacco Is claimed te be supe
rior te any irep ever raised, and the prices
are blgb. This is certainly a variation in the
usual pregramme; formerly the first reports
or the first sales Invariably gave a " black
eye" te the tobacco offered. It waa thought
te Keep out competition; uui npur ui uiu
