Who Pays the Taxas.
Ditigman's Ferry. June 17, Is;)?.
Khiloii Piikss: The Dispatch your
neighbor Is still harping on the question :
'"Whupays the taxes." That Is the title of
an article in ls column" of May 27, which
Is vag:;e and without head or tail.
1 bi lieve thv taxes p:iy themselves, for If
a man earns ten cents he pays one-half or
one cent out of that amount. If lie does
n-e e.trn th -teti cents b Inn to pay the
tiir just the same, or le dealt with accord
ing to law.
At present few ran earn anything, con
sequently something else than their earn
ings will havcto pay the tax collector.
Will the Dispatch please explain why
there is so little earning of the figurative
ten cents from which th tax would lie
paid
Fearing it may be reluctant to do so, I
will give my own. The farmers and work
ingnien at the polls in 1 Si 1'Jvoted the Dem
ocratic ticket with a vengeance, putting a
D 'tnoeratle president and congress at the
bend of government While in their
glory they hatched out tho Wilson-Gorman
free trade bill compelling the Amerlomi
cnpltalbfs to withdraw all their money,
which Is the life blood of our prosperity.
Articles liecatne cheap, not because they
could be made cheaper, but because of an
over-stock of cheap goods sent from Ku
rope where waes are much lo:;r than here
The Americans thus having their earnings
cut oil could not pay high, or In fact any
prices for them as they were earning no
thing The times they say are petting hnrdei
since the Republicans came In power. If
true thl is easily explained. When Har
rison's administration went out, the coun
try so far as It could be was in a good state
itf prosperity.
II Attn TIMKS CAt'SKIl HY PKMOi'KATIC' MIS
Ignoranct and idiocy fired by such papers
as the Dispatch led the people to el
Cleveland, and the rest of the ticket. His
first term of oilice was peaceable and com
votive they said. The reason was the Con
gress was Republican, and he had then no
chance to destroy prosperity as he had in
his second term wilh a congress on Ids
hands of his own stripe.
When Harrison left Washington t In
country was will supplied with money
scattered among jM'ople. That kept the
ball rolling, but during the past four yea is
it has kept going slower, as capital kept
shrinking from Investment because It was
not protected.
W hen ( lcvelaml went out the spare
money of the people was spent and th
ball was stopped
We started In- the Cleveland admlnis
tret Ion with money In our pockets out to
our regret We sailed In the McKinley term
without a cent, and now we must wait un
til the Injury previously done the peo"
is remedied by n proper tariff law, for not
until then will eonfldoiic be restored and
capital released
Now the cities are waiting orders fn m
the farmer for the goods which farmeis
are not able to buy.
The farmers are waiting to supply the
eitietf with their products but the working
men are not yet able to buy, because tiny
have no work yet and no money.
Who pays the taxes ? Why capital pays
it by going through the process of labor of
all kinds and in business, feeding and
eh hing the jH-opIe, in return for which
people are happy to pay a small percentage
for taxes to support government and when
properly protected the better they are off,
and the more cheerfully they pay because
they own more productive projierty.

Th Port Jerit Trolley.
Port Jervis seems not to bo anxi
ous for a trolley road. The village
trustees refused to grant a conces
sion asked for by tho company pro
posing to build, which requested to
bo relieved of 1 miles of road in
tho grant on tho ground that it
would not pay to build it. Tho re
presentatives stated they were will
ing to build as much as would pay
but did not want to be encumbered
with a line -which would not, as th it
would prov.i disastrous to the whole
scheme. This seems reasonablo.nnd
it would bo supposed that no muni
cipality would caro to burden a cor
poration with a load it could not
carry, and to make such nn alterna
tive as would prevent any building
at all. Any foreign capital intro
dueed in a town and exondod in
public works must ho of great bene
lit, and tho company would not be
slow to extend the lino if it would
pay to do so. Tho Trustees may bo
right, but on tho surface and to a
casual beholder it looks as if they
were right wrong-

BLIND TOM IN RETIREMENT.

"Blind Tom, the weak wlttud, sightless
negro whose phenomenal gifts as n pianist
and whose unnatural powers of memory
and mimicry wro the wonder of tho
world some years ao, is now a gray-headed,
infirm old man living in retirement In
n little cottage on the highlands of Navo
sink, on the New Jersey shore of New
York Bay, in rharge of Mrs. KU?.t Lerehe,
who was appointed his gnardi'in several
yearn ago Alter the death of her first
husband, John (r. bVthuno, who was
Tom's manager nearly the entire tlmo ho
Wiis he fore the pnMie, thero was a long
legal struggle between her and her father
In law, James N B"thtine, who owned
Tom and Turn's mother hs slaves, and
still claimed thy sole proprietorship of tho
musician. Tom had been a valuable
piece of property, and had brought him a
largo Income for many years. It is said
that he earned several hundred thousands
of dollars, and Colonel Bethunu naturally
objected to losing so lucrative an Invest
ment. "Justice Andrews of the Supromo court
of New York, to whom tho case finally
came by appeal, decided that Tom was a
free man and permitted him to choose his
own guardian, for, altho over fifty years
old, he was incapable of caring for him
self, and Charity Wlggans, his mother,
who still lives In Georgia on the old plan
tation where Tom was born, declined to
accept the responsibility. In fact, Tom
did not kn w his mother. Ho met her at
the trial for the first time since his child
hood nearly foity years before, when his
musical genius was discovert!, and he was
taken out for exhibition by his owner.
Nor did lie have suflicient intelligence to
appreciate the relationship, and she, au
illiterate negrefis over seventy, was fright
ened by his outlandish gibberish and pe
culiar habits, for when he is away from
the piano Blind Tom is a most repulsive
animal He has an abnotma) appetite, his
passions art) strongly developed, and he
has no resjcct for persons or places. Ho
U simply an idiot, and his mother believed
him tit bt possessed of tho devil. With
the instincts of a child, however, when
Tom was made to understand that he must
select the person who hhould care for him,
he nate-ally clung to the lady who ha.i
cared for him most of his life, and the
coin t recognized M rs. Bethuno as the
natural and prox-r guardian. Shortly
alter hhe married Mr. lyTche, who had
1 -en her attorney in the litigation, and
her circumstances are such that it is not
necessary tor Tom to return to thn stage.
Mic prefers to support him In idleness. ami
has him comfortably plaotHl in a eottage
under the charge of a negro attendant, wild
seldom allows him tint of his sight.
"It Is not probable that Tom will ever
appear in public again. Altho his peculiar
faculties are retained, Mk health is feublo,
ami his mind has weakened with age. He
spends much of his time at the plant) play
ing his old pieces aud practicing new ones,
which he picks up as readily as he did
years ago. Hecan repeat with remarkable
act iiriM-v any simple composition that is
olayed for him "William E. Curtis hi
