TO ABOLISH POVERTY.
A Peep at- Peffer's Bill Which Taxes
Big Fortunes.
IT HITS THE IMILLIOXAIRES HARD
And Divides the Tublic Fork Among the
Sweating Uasses.
THE TICE PRESIDENT STOXXED BT IT
"Washington, March 17. Senator
Teller, of Kansas, in the language of his
"section," has "humpedhimself." Both of
the Alliance apostle's whiskers tied to
gether would not equal in length a bill he
lias introduced abolishing vice and crime
and making some use of men who foolishly
iercaftcr accumulate more than 51,000,000.
JVilliam Alfred draws the line at a million.
The measure was one of the unique at
tempts at putting more than 515 in the in
side pockets of everybody in the country
by legislation, expected to be offered from
lime to time by the Alliance statesmen.
When the Senate got it it did not know
what to do with it. Vice President Mor
ton, who knows something about finance
trad parliamentary law, gasped when Pef
fer's effort was introduced and he heard the
following title read: "A bill creating a
fund for the payment of pensions and for
getting our army of idle laborers at work on
extensive public improvements; for the re
moval of the strongest incentive to crime
among the poor aud,to vice among the rich;
for protecting the American from the in
flux of undue alien competition and for
other purposes."
The Vice rreslilont Stunned.
The Vice President looked helplessly at
the Senate, which had fallen tack in its
chairs, leaving Pcffer alone on his feet.
"What committee." feebly asks Jlr. Mor
ton, "should this bill be referred to?"
Mr. Pcficr's whiskers moved, and through
them came this reply: "In view of the scope
ol the bill 1 think it would be well to refer
it to the Committee on Agriculture."
The Senate was too stunned to even smile.
There was an idea of referring the Mil by
sections, so as to give all the comm'ttees a
chance at it. But finally Senator Piatt had
it shunted to the Finance Committee.
The bill is divided into 39 sections. It
piovides first, that a graduated tax be
jewed on property and estates, as fol
lows: On all estates, the actual value of
which does not exceed 52.000,000, a 1 per
cent tax; on estates exceeding 52,000,000,
but not exceeding 55.000,000, 3 per cent; on
estates exceeding 55,000,000 and not exceed
ing 10,000,000, 8 per cent, and 18 per cent
on all estates valued at more than 510,000,
000. The bill further provides that proper
ty not to exceed 51,000,000 shall be exempt
from the operations of the act.
The Division or tho Fork.
A verv considerable part of the bill re
lates to the appointment of county assessors
and the manner in which their work shall
be performed. One-third of the total net
proceeds of the tax so collected shall be
divided among the several States in propor
tion to their valuation; that is, their pro
portion ot this one-third shall bear the
fame ratio to the whole as their valuation
bears to the total valuation of all the States
as assessed. Another third of the proceeds
of the tax shall be divided among the States
by the aine method in proportion to their
population, the other third to be divided
among the States in proportion to their
area.
The United States Treasurer, after having
made the apportionment of the funds col
lected, shall, on or before the 10th day of
Pcbruary aud August following, deposit the
amount to which each State is entitled with
the Treasurer of said Siate.
When the several States shall have been
gi en their pro rata it is to be divided un
der tlueeheads: rirst, for pensions and pay
ing the national soldiers ot the "War ofthe
Rebellion the difference between the value
of tlis money paid them and gold, with in
terest at G per cent from January 1, 1866,
compounding semi-annually. Second, lor
building, enlargins or repairing canals; for
improving navigable streams and extending
the mileage ot navigable waters; for imp'ov
ing country roads and-cstahlishing a system
of first-class highways, and for building
storage reservoirs in the arid regions of the
West. Third, for organizing, equipping
and maintaining,a national guard.
Itonds Are FrorHled Also.
The bill further provides that where the
seveial States are unable to pay ex-Union
soldiers the money difference between gold
aud greenbacks the Federal Government
shall issue bonds in denominations of 550
and 5100, bearing G per cent interest, and
running irom 10 to 30 years, to meet the
deficiency.
The bill states parenthetically that as the
proceeds of this tax on a conservative esti
mate will reach over 51.750.000,000 the first
year, and as only about one-sixth of the
soldiers' balance is due each year, the fore
going clause provides for ery improbable
contingencies.
All laborers on public improvements
under this act must be citizens of the United
States. Another section of the bill of in
terest to the American laborer is that a tax
of 5200 per head shall be collected from each
rincle male adult immigrant and 5100 per
head fioni all other immigrants over 12
years of age.
A Heavy Tax on Kig Estates.
This section is to continue in force only
until the President, the President of the
Senate and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, sitting as a board of refer
ence, shall declare that all American citi
rens u bo want work have an opportunity to
. find employment at fair wages, and, holding
the immigration tax no longer necessary,
declare this section inoperative.
Section 34 provides a tax of 1 per cent on
inherited estates and legacies valued at
500,000 or under, 3 per cent on estates
valued at lroin 5200,000 to 5500,000, 8 per
cent on estates valued at from 5500,000 to
51,000,000, 20 per cent on estates between
51,000,000 and 52,000,000 and 30 per cent on
c-sutes above 52,000,000, provided, how
ever, that in each instance estates worth
5100,000 shall be exempt from the tax.
Senator Pefier said to-night that he was
feeling quite well He looked like a man
who had got a great lead off his mind.

STORfES DID NOT TALLY.
Huntingdon Reformatory Prisoners Now In
the Penitentiary Say They Deserred the
111 Usase They Got Youthful Criminals
Are the Hardest to Manage.
" During an informal investigation of the
stories told by the inmates of the Hunting
don Reformatory, concerning the fiendish
and brutal treatment that they had been
constantly subjected to, the fact was gleaned
from the alleged victims that there were
two or three prisoners in the Western Peni
tentiary who could show that even worse
outrages had been committed upon them.
James B. Scott, of tne State Board of
Charities, was told the same story at Moya
mensing prison. He looked the matter up
at Riverside penitentiary and found the pris
oners were: John Ward, George Jackson and
William Larkin. From the stories told by
the convicts in Moyamensing prison Ward
seemed to have suffered the most. It was
claimed by them that one of the keepers
had struck him in fhe mouth with a ham
mer or club and knocked all his teeth down
his throat. Accordingly Ward's cell was
the first one visited and he was subjected to
rigid cross-examination during which
nothing new was developed concerning
the cruel treatment at Huntingdon
Reformatory. He was asked to
show his teeth. Kone were missing. In
fact they were in an unusually good state of
preservation, except that they had been
slightly discolored by the excessive use of
tobacco. The other two prisoners' ceiis
were visited in turn, and, although they
were willing to talk upon the subject of
cruel treatment in prisons in general, they
could not corroborate the stories of the
young reformatory victims.
Warden Wright, of the Western Peni
tentiary, is inclined to doubt the many
storiesnow rampant about the extreme bru
tality practiced by Warden Smith and his
deputies. When seen yesterday he said:
John Ward, one of the prisoners whom It
Is said could throw some llzht upon the
Franklin reformatory matter, was convicted
of statutory burglary and was sentenced In
Eiie county, September 13, 1890. to the Hunt
lnsrdon Reioruiatory, and, being not only in
corrigible, hut a reconvicted prisoner, he
was sent to this institution, which is more
severe in its rules. Jackson and Larkin
were also returned here for bad behavior,
thn latter for stahhini? a fellow prisoner.
When interviewed by Mr. Scott ana myself
yestciday they said it was true that they
had been severely punished at the reforma
tory, hut thev admitted it had been due to
their mfsbeliavior, and the three of them
come to tno conclusion before we left them
that Huntingdon was a "bully" place, and
much easier than a penitentiary.
The fact of the matter is. that tho man
or woman, lady or gentleman, who thinks
the youthful prisoners tho easiest
to manage, makes a very grave mistake.
Take them in all grades they aie
the most troublesome. Those that want to
be bad will be as bad as they can, and when
once on the road to destruction they will tio
to the devil sure, while on tho other hand
an older prisoner can at times be restored.
1 believe the officers who have charge of
youthful prisoners deserve some considera
tion, because they have their bands full at
all times, for in many cases where hoys
have tho liberty thev possess at the reform
atory they are all bonded together for evil,
and the public ought to he generous in their
statements toward the keepers.

A feeling of
dullness, languor,
and depression
means that your
liver isnt doing its
part That means
Impure blood, to
begin 'with, and
all kinds of ail
ments in the end.
But you can
stop them in ad
vance. Doctor
Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery invigorates the liver,
purifies and enriches the blood, and rouses
every organ into healthy action. It pre
vents and cures all diseases arising from
a torpid liver or from impure blood. Dys
pepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness, Scrofulous,
Skin and Scalp Diseases even Consumption
(or Lung-scrofula.), in its earlier stages, all
yield to it
The makers of the " Discovery " claim for
it only what it will do. They guarantee that
it vnii do it If it fails to benefit or cure, in
any case, they'll return the money. Nothing
else that claims to purify the blood is sold
in this way which proves, no matter what
dealers may offer, that nothing else can bo
"just as good."
