r THE TAKHEH AMD BIS TAXES.
Jehnsen Miller read nn essay en the
above subject. Belew we print tbe mere
important parts of it.
Docs tbe farmer really ba: mere thai
bis share of tbe burden of the taxation T la
an Important question In which you as
farmertiare all Interested, and'ene wbleh
we will here consider. That taxes are un
necessarily blgb, and that the farmer bat
mere tban bis proportionate abare, no one
will dare dispute. I tblnk 1 can illustrate
te you by atailatlei tbat tbe larmer Is tbe
horse tbat pulls the lead In the team of tax
ation ; tbat be pays millions et dollars for
county purposes and In addition pays tbe
bulk of local taxes.
In order te con lder this matter from an
individual standpoint, nd te ahew tbe un
just and unfair manner In which the farmer
is taxed, let us draw your attention te two
farmers whom we will designate as Mr. A
and Mr.U. A sella bis firm te 11 for (20 000.
B having only 110,000 of bla own money, A
agrees te take Judgment from B for the
ether (10 000 at 6 per cent, intereat, while
the (10,000 he receWOB In cash is invested In
national bank etoek and he retire?. The
assessor calls and takea the assessment of
a for the (10.C0D Judgment and that la all
he Is assessed. He new calls en farmer B.
whose farm be will assess at about (18,000
(for farms are nearly all assessed at almost
the price paid, or wnat they would brlrg Ii
put in tbe market); and also (1,000 for uis
stock, making 10,000 New ter each one's
taxes. A pays en hla judgment a state tax
et (30, and he Is done. Jt pays (-17 SO county
tax, tii school tax, (10 read tax, $10 tire tax,
total (108 50. This is ndlUercnce t78 50 and
A ia that uiueh tbe Kalner ever farmer B.
A may have a family of children, se has
B, all goleg te tbe same school, yet B with
(10,000 debt en bla farm and (78 CO mere Ux
te pay, pats the whole of the school tax fet
the benefit of bla own children, while A'a
are educated at his (D'ti) oxpenso, who
could se well Hflerd te assist lu tbe pay
ment of this tax, but does net pay a single
dollar en hit (20,000 capital.
Again, A haB plenty of time te use tbe
public reads, whlle B is busy at work, and
yet he must pay the read tax en bla whole
valuation, while A does net contribute a
dime for the time en bla (20,000 capital.
A has the Intereat en (10,000, at 6 per cent,
maklug (500 ; his bank ulvldend probably
will eh (800, ar.d haa a total annual income
of (1,300. He and bla family may live en
(300, leaving (1,000 profit te be yuarly added
te hi. well invented capital. New what la
farmer B'a income T He and his wife and
children work hard from morning te night
te take care of the stock ; his crops at
present pnees with geed luck may bring
(1,200. Oat el this he pays his Interest
(500 te A ; taxes (100 ; repairs (100 ; em em
peoyes, 1200; total, (000, leaving blm a
profit of (J00 en an Investment of (10,000 Of

cent.

(1,735 31 county tax. Te this must be added
' tbe township aoheol tax, (3,955 03, the bulk
of which is paid by tbe farmer, at Lllllz is
an independent school district. Tbe amount
et retd tax aseeesdd en these farms
exelualve cf Lltttz, is (2 TOO, making
(10,690 91, te wblcn add (2 000 mere for
tire tax en farm building. We new have
a graud total et nearly (13,000, whleh the
farmxra of this township alone pay. There
are (783,032 lu money at intereat assessed
en which only a ataie tax Is paid, There is
a national bank with (105,000 capital and
two turnpike companies at (20,000 capital,
0 there u a capital of (903,932 Invested In
the township en which only a state Ux of
(2,351.79 is paid. This capital in nearly
pue halt of tbe valuu of the farms of
tbe township and pays only (2 300 Ux,
while tbe farmers with only double the
amount of can.tal pay nearly (13,000, or six

New if tbe state tax were abolished, tbe

Hew would this affect tbe farmer of tbe
county T The assewitd valuation in 1880
waa fefl 310,838, en which a county tax of
(215,777 15 was levied. The censtin of 1880

I weald favor a law te abellaa. the state

farmers of Lancaster county felly (900,000.
Tha soheoltax should be paid by tha state,
as it waa tha first Intention et tha law that
there should ba free schools for tha farmers
and ethers. This wenld sdd another saving
of leeal tax el (200,000. Why aet have bat

We have ahewn that the farmers pay In

who bas hi money invested in real estate,
secured by Judgment, or national bank
stock or corporations, baa bnt little te pay,
cannot he disputed. New what is the
remedy T I see of none. Se long as tax
payers and farmers are net rep
resented in pur council chambers by men
who bare your welfare and your Interest
at heart ; se long as yen are indifferent te
this imperUnt matter, Just se long yen will
bsve no protection. The legislature) of
Pennsylvania It is said bas for years been
controlled by tbe members from Philadel
phia, PltUburg, and ether large clUea in tba
Interesta of corporations and capitalist, and
it seems there is some truth In tbla. Out of
the 250 members of tba last Senate said
Heuse, there were only 36 farmers, 62 law
yers and 163 business men in all profes
sions of Hie, from the rich iron muter dewa
te the common salesman.
There are about 800,000 farmers la tbe
slate, and these were represented by thirty
five members, or about one member for
every 8.600 farmers. There ara 4,992
lawyers tn tbeaute, and they had 62 mem
bers te represent tbem, or about one mem
ber ler every one hundred lawyers. Other
professions were represented in about tha
name proportion. This la the contrast, and
I suppose the reason wbaa farmer Is se
well protected In bis Interesta is because ha
ia allowed tbe grand opportunity of paying
ever fuur-nfih. of all the local Uxes.
When will there be a ehange for better
protection te the Interest et tbe farmer?
Net nntll be la represented by men wbe

a reduction of tbe expenses in all the depart
ments of tbe government, and net until the
men in official positions will feel that
the money at their disposal are tbe Uxes
from hard earned money from tbe farmer,
tbe mechanic, the merchant and tbe peer
laboring mar. Net until then will there
be equal taxation and protection te all
alike tibeuld there be noehange within tbe

CASTEB niLLBn'S ESSAY.
Casper Hlller read an essay en hauling
and spreading manure in wlnter.
We hear mneb said in favor of spreading
stable manure as fast as made during the
winter months. It is claimed tbat the
crops are uniformly better than when the
manure is hauled out in tbe spring and
immediately plowed down. There Is often
considerable less, especially when the
ground is frez3n very hard when the
manure la spread, as can be aeen in the
colored water running away In heavy rains.
In spring hauling ws are net liable te
tbls less. Why then should winter spread
ing be mere beneficial T We can perhaps
account for It in this wsy : The soluble
portion of the manure remaining after tbe
le! mentioned will, as seen as tbe frost
leaves the ground, sink into tbe soil, and
by plowing time will be soaked all through
the furrow slice, and will be ripe and in
waiting for the corn rootlets te take it up.
After the spresdlng of tba spring-hauled
manure tbe farmer enters tbe field wltb a
beavy plow provided with tbe new tangled
jointer, which rolls an Inch et soil and all
the manure nicely Inte the bottom et tbe
furrow, and tbe main plow fellows and
covers tbe manure five or six Inehes deep
Everybody says, what beauttiul plowing I
Why you cannot see a bit et rubbish I It
doss net occur te these farmers tbat In some
soils, manure thus treated is lest In very
wet weather tbe soluble portion of it
will sink still deeper away from tbe
roots of tbe plant, and being beyond
the reach or influence et air, beat and
moisture will remain inert If the plowing
had been done lour Inehes deep the ma
nure would have twen within tbe reach of
the roots snd atmospherie lnfiusnee, and
tbe orep would have been much better tban
where plowed down deep or where it was
spplied In the winter. This shallow plow
lug la always right si far as tbe mannre la
concerned, but in many soils net deep
enough for retaining moisture. Te remedy
this a subsoil plow should fellow te loosen
the seli te a proper tTspth. The mUtake
tbe fellow tbat invented the Jointer made
was in placing it at tbe wrong end. If be
had changed tbe shape (lightly, snd placed
it at the ether end and set it te rnn four
lnchea deeper tban tbe main plow, he
would have been a benefactor te tbe corn
grower.

Albakt, N. Y., March 0 This after,
aoen tha general laa committee sub
mitted te th Senate lbs report of their in in
YastlgaUea ea trusts,
It says: "However different tha Influ
ences whleh gave rise te these trusUmay
be, tha main purpose, management and
effect of all upon the publleis the same
namely, tha annlhUattea et competition
and the enabling of the combination te fix

rawmaterUl from tha producer and at
whleh they wenld aall the refined product
te tha consumer; thus leaving tha public at
each end of tbe Industry 'the producer and
consumer' at the mercy of the syndicate,
combination or trust"
In speaking of the Standard Oil trust the
report says : " Ita success bas been tba in
centive te the formation of all ether trusts
or combinations, It is the type of a system
which spreads like a disease tbrenth tbe
commercial system of this country. It was
erganised In 1882 by about 60 persons wbe
ware engaged in tha production, rtffinlng or
carriage of the commodity knewa as coal or
kerosene elL Its prlnelpal effiae la tn tha

Joint stock associations and partners, plaeed

that this properly baa mere than
doubled Itself in six years and that with tbla

ing it. The brevity et tbe time within
whleh the Investigation was required te be
made rendered It Impossible for tbe
committee te de mere tban examine tbe
