PIOLLET LOVES TAXATION, A List of Some of the Taxes Paid by Him and His Fellow Farmers, Editorial in Philadelphia Times, Sept. 12. Farmer Piollet is a wellito-do fsrmer on the northern berder of the State. He was a legislator more than a generation ago, and has not been ome since that period chiefly because his farmer neighbors al- ways happened to have a beiter liking for the other fellow. He has had large intercourse with great men from Jackson up er down to Piollet; he has many times been prevailed spon to talk politics on the stamp and at the huskings. and raisings, and boilings of his seigh- borhood, and he is understood to be always seady, if not always ex- actly reliable, authority on all ques- tions of political and agricultural economics. We like Farmer Piollet because he is a sturdy independent in poli tics. He is net of the hide-bound or collar-wors class that fear to change political or other convic. tions, He has fought with Jackson in favor of a strict specie basis for currency, and with the Greenback. ers against all specie as a basis of currency; he has fought with the Democracy when it gave only 25 per cent. tariff taxes, and is now ready to fight against the Democra- cy because it doesn’t give over 40 per cent. tariff taxes, and just now he is in casy comfort in politics, as breaks in his : |W ater and fiee tuniformity with taxes paupers | {of Farmer Piollet’s life in en fi-id sudden foundation, wants no He free lar, garret, roof, He taxes has free air and coffee, and that's about all, but he hopes yet to see them taxed into al! hisother farmer WHAT PAYS HE BED, Think of the grand uniformity joying the farmers’ taxes. He rises in the morning, shakes his farmer's mane in vigor as he emerges from his per cent taxed bed sheets, 40 cent. taxed pillows, his 30 per cent, taxed matiress, his 33 cent, taxed bedstead, and he lands tri- umphantly on a 6o per cent. taxed carpet, tacked down with 43 per cent. taxed tacks. He stripes off his 40 per cent. 1axed nightshirt, puts on his 60 per cent taxed un. per if cotton; follows with his 40 per cent taxed shirt, his 60 per cent taxed pants; his 40 per cent taxed socks if cotton or 6o per cent if woolen; his jo per cent taxed shoes, He next takes up his 40 per cent taxed tumbler or mug; applies his 3o per cent taxed tooth-brush; pours out his water from a 6o per cent taxed pitcher into a 6o per cent taxed wash-bowl; takes up his 35 per cent taxed toilet soap to aid his refreshing ablations in free water; brings the blood to glow in health on his cheeks by a 40 per cemt taxed towel; combs his hair with a 30 per cent taxed comb; gives it the finishing touch with a jo per cemt taxed brush. He next turns to his 6o per cent taxed necktie if silk, or 40 if cotton or linen; ties it around his 40 per cent taxed collar stiffen- ed by 94 per cent taxed starch; ad- justs his 35 per cent taxed suspen ders, and ifa 30 ver cent taxed but. ton is missing he replaces it with a jo per cent taxed pin; hethen puts on his fo per cent taxed vest; fol lows with bis 60 per cent taxed coat; supplies it with a 40 per cent taxed handkerchief, and then is ready to take a survey of himself in his roo per cent taxed mirror on his 35 per cent taxed bureau, when he is ready to emerge from his chamber, WHAT HE PAYS BEFORE BREAKEAST. As farmers are ever interested in the weather, Farmer Piollet will al- ways brush aside his 40 per cent taxed curtains and take an early look out of his 35 per cent taxed window.sash and 93 per cent taxed window ‘glass to sce how the free air—and the only thing free that spoon. cent taxed wool blissful | his 6o | per cent. tax-d blankets, his 30 per | dercloihing if woolen cr 4o per cent | fixed wi h a 40 per cent taxed | or predese! goods the American man lsc hoot 1s for children uf school: age facture is com peled to “skimp” h's | where they ars taught ses ing cro- He then takes his 50 per cent taxed pocket knife to clean his finger-nails, takes up his 54 per hat and for a survey of his manor, a prudent obs rver be takes his per cent taxed ¢rockery; his 40 per his 45 Farm- | | per cent taxed tinware; his 25 per {og mun con dispel 10 8 moment (cent taxed broom; his 35 per cent {taxed buckets; his 45 per cent taxed | ables and chai, | IMPLEMENTS, The kitchen inspected, | fountain of the farmer's | Farmer Piollet ow steps out on as health his 17 per cent ta¥ed porch floor by opening his 26 per cent taxed d, or | latch, the pro | fection taxed under per storm irs himself of shingles, his 17 if him he wisely 1akes cent and confronts up and cent taxed umbrella a survey of the farm AND THEN Pi 311 paper THE TRUS FP the sid om armer et. agrees with cent, taxe and the his his taxed m chinery, | speed from face y le fav smiles play pass i upon gently for | rowed cheeks as he reads that muiti universal farmer taxes are {plied to him by the blessicg {extra taxes by the Jute | Steel Trusts, the Soap Trusts, | Linseed Oil Trusts, Trusts, the the the Cordage Trust, the Paper Bag Trust, the Salt | 2 a — { trust, the Nail Trust, the Glass Trust | | the Sugar Trust, the { the Lumber Trust, all of whih are | the creation of high war-tariff taxes and be smiles serenely as a brides. maid as he contemplates the pro fusions of the this great free land showers upon the farmers. He rejoices that the blessing of farmer taxes never cease from the 35 per cent, taxed cradle and 40 per cent, taxed coffins and 60 per cent, taxed shroud for the grave. Just tnen Farmer Pioliet, reads of the Mills bill proposing ruthlessly to reducde the farmer's taxes, and he erupts in fury as he exclaims: “These infernal politi- cians can't let us farmers alone; they now want to reduce our 47 per cent, taxes 7 per cent; to Hades with them say I, Farmer Pioliet.” n————— — THE DELUSION OF A HOME MARKET. Io all the disscossions of the tariff by the advocates of protection not one seems to be aware of the fact that if Awerican mills aod manufacturing establishments ran anything like full time there would be a glut of the American market, if every foreign manufactured article were kept out. In these days of improved and perfect machinery American manufecturers mast have a foreign market for their surplas product or their mills most run only part time. That we do not supply all of our bome market with the woolens necessary is due to the fact that we haven't the raw material and do not raise it. What we pur- chase of our foreign customers comes to our manofactarers with an in creased cost of 40 per cent duty, while our competitors in our own and the worlds markets get their raw ma. terial 40 dollars on the hundred cheap erthan we do. Nor is this the only evil resulting from the taxation of raw material.

A volume recently published by the German Government contains a number of interesting reports by the factory inspectors of the Em- pire in regard to the condition of factory operatives throughout Ger. many, from which much of iater est may be gathered as to the ef- forts that are being made to in- struct young workingwomen and children in the domestic arts. The most suggestive feature of these reports is that the help thus given is not State aid, although in some places the State does maintain in- dustrial schools, but that the sgen- cies which are at work are chiefly conducted by large employers of labor, the latter doubtless finding that they, in turn, also derive bene- fit from the increasee intelligence and habits of industry which are the result of this traing. Thas for example, at Krupp's works at Es. sen there is an industrial school for women maintained by the firm, where dressmaking and mending and hand and machine sewing are taught, and where on two afters noons in the week, instruction is also given in ironing. At Neviges a large firm supports four schools for the instraction not only of its female employes but alo for the children of employes, Three times a week, after the close ofthe facto. sewing, darning, at a cost to each of but 15 cents a month, The firm provides lc eting and embriidery.

It is of the es. sence of all combinations which aim at power or pelf that they antagonize the party which insists that nothing shall be done by corporations or governments that may possibly be left to the hand of the private citizen.
