Tuk whole country sympathise with rroddetit lUrrison in the severe illuesa of Mrs. Harrison, It is especially tryiug for him to have her iu this condition with the pres idential election coming on with all its exeitemeut, Tho report, there fore, that he is wor will be re ceived everywhere with genuine expressions of sorrow. It k to be hoped that cooler weathermuy have an invigorating eflVeU i- . . i ii Oi'R esteemed cotemporary, the Pallas Observer, guve us some kind ly advice last week, which we duly appreciate; but .we remember last wiuter he gave an unknown writer from Monmouth great latitude to speak anything but kindly of us. AVehope hereaftvr, that the good brother will take a dose of his own medicine and see how it tastes. Advice is quite a cheap article, and is usually given without adequate data. . ' ' " . Lo.vgfkixow'h home in Cam bridge, with its lilac hedge, itaejius, and itssuperb view across the mead ows to the Charles, is tenanted now by the poet's daughter, Miss Alice Longfellow, who sometimes extends the hospitality of its roomy parlors and handsome grounds to the la dies of the Harvard Annex. The house was built by a colonial tory, and although it is nearly a century and a half old, there are few hand somer residences in New England to-day. Harper1 Wetkly. Tue Lincoln (Xeb) Fn IVw would not bo surprised if tho Dem ocrats would elect their entire state ticket in Nebraska. There are 70, 000 German voters in the state, a large majority of whom liaye here tofore acted with the Republicans, They are tired of MclCinleyism and the general liberal tendencies of the party, and are fust breaking away from it. The democrats have nominated two German-Americans for important state offices, S. N. Wolbach for lieutenant gover nor and Matthew Oering for attorney-general. The Republicans, as in Illinois, have ignored the Oer-nian-Americans entirely. When the Presbyterian ministers came through The Dalles on their way to Portland, they stopped off for breakfast." The Tima-Mount-aineermys considerable merriment wascreatcd by a k ind-hearted Chris tian lady, who went about distribut ing tracts among the passengers, not knowing they were all preachers of the gospel. A doctor of divinity received one on "The Evil of Gambling," and a white haired pillar of the church was given one on "The Sin of Dancing." Some of the ladies were the recipients of treatises on "The Evils of Tobacco Smoking and Chewing," "Dram- drinking in Saloons," etc. No one doubted the good intention of the donor; but tho subjects for mission ary work were not well chosen. Roiieiit JoiiNHO,v,of the Corvallis Timet, our esteemed friend and brother, says in this week's issue of his paper that"lie ;han too much respect for Bro. 15cll to reproduce. hisarticle in this community, for there is neither an insinuation nor a sentence of truth in it." Now Robert, wo thank you for kindly rcsncct,and say. That is just what you should have done, either printed all we said, and. let the people judge of its truthfulness, or' you should have said nothing about it. We are more than willing that the people of Corvallis should sco our article entire. We simply Baid that Judge Fullcrton had decided the O. P. case as had Judge Pipes, that is, . so far as granting more time was concerned. That is the only point in thedicussion by either judge. We said then, and we say now, that if Pipes was owned by tlie.O. P., so is Fullerton. A! VU:AI AS MV1K The Dallas 2ViiMcWjif has a way of getting its ideas mixed that is truly appalling. Iu commenting uH)u a ltoent declaration of the kst SuK iu favor of absoluU free trade, it 'says: This necessarily imggeats the abolishment of- revenue collector at every port of eutry aud th levy tug of a, direct tax Umu tho na tion's population auuiiully to rafse the lHHi,000 or ko iieeemiry to carry on the government. Add to this the slipshod system ' of rais ing state and county revenue, with u injustices, evasions, and partial Ities, then cap the chumx by adopting the Wkw Sidk'h pot hob- , by, the single tax kmim, --v--J which would tx the farmer lauds while it exempts the millionaire's railroad ears, steamboat;, telegraph lines, etc., and if you would n't sec a nioiikey and u parrot time iu this eonntry for a few years it would be because the people had gone so witless they couldn't tell whether they were American citizens or Australian kangaroos." , v Here is a paper that says our scheme would necessitate the adop tion of throe distinct modes of tax ation, namely, a direct tax on the people, the present system of coun ty and municipal taxation, and the singl tax. , Now it is evldeut that the leoNied editor of the J'tiH.wr has forgot teu the detlnition of the word 'single," Welter says: "Single, . 1. One only, us dls Unguishwl from more than one consisting of one alone; individual separate," Of course we took it for granted, w lieu we spoke of the single tax, that even the editor of the Trttnrit would know what we meant. We sec, however, that wo erred. ltut is the man sincere when he objects to raising public revenue provenionts; and everything he buy i is taxed also; and ho sells his proj dueo iu a market free to the "pau per" labor of all the world. Can the TiiiHwript find one farmer who would not be willing to have his taxes levied upou the value of the bare laud, provided all his Im provements and ixnwoual property were exempt! Of course It can't, for the taxes of every farmer would be decreased. "Who, then, would pay the taxes!" we think we hear the 2Y!Nei fytt ask. The people who hold land for speculative purposes, of course, Tliere ar huudreds of acres near Independence and Dal las that arewhotly unproductive and aud unimproved, and wliith iy eonniaratively no taxes, betwiuse they are asmwswl as "furnm," d which are lnlng held for the increas ed value that the pressure of pop ulation is constantly giving them, A hundred acres of such land is worth iu the market as much as a thousand acre of ordinary farm land) improvements and all; but it don't pay a teuth part of the taxes. The single tax will tax it to its full value. Does this look like exempt ing the rich aud huing the poor! Tun Wkht StpK till January 1, I8t:,for50wntj. by a direct tax! Is ho wilting to stand up aud lie counted as one who favors a tax that costs the poor man as much as tho million aire, aud also gives every dealer a profit ou the tax! And note that he sas "the slijishod system of raising state and county revenue, with it Injustices, evasions, aud purtiulitie." What can the 'man meant In one breath he seems to be opposed to chauging the preseut system, and 1n tho next he bitterly denounces it. We con fess that we are unequal to the task of unraveling the mystery. ltut what astonishes us most is what he says regarding tho single tax. It is plaiu to be teen that he believe tbe "millionaire's railroad cars, telegraph lint, steamboats, etc.," are bostiloto the public good. The West Side do not think so. lie also, appears to lie laboring under the impression that telegraph lines can lie hung from tie clouds, railway cars use the rainbows instead of tracks laid on the ground, and steuiubonts ply the air. Tho Wrst Siok does not think so. If what tbe Trnutmpt says about exemptini; millionaires were true, you would see the thir ty-odd thousand millionaires of the Uuited States straining every nerve and using every effort to have the single tax adopted, liut, strangely enough, like the Tiqiwrtj)!, they oppose it. And what would lie the effect ol tho single tax on corporations! It would tax their rights of way at their actual value; it would anuu ally -place in tho public treasury the full rental value of all the laud they use, including the millions of value of real estate in places like Portland, which are taxed now only nominally. Their taxes , on real estate would be greatly increased, whilo the taxes ou their personal property would lie abolished. Why would we take the tax off from their personal property! Because that kind of property is a benefit to everyone. Men are given tanor in making tho rails, cars, engines, buildings, laying the trucks,' grad ing, etc. Other men are employed in depots, fieighthouscs, round houses; iu running trains and inak intr repairs in a thousand differ cut ways, jscsnios, it mere were no railroads, think how inconven ient it would bo to the people who have no interest in thein except to travel over them or ship merchan disc over them. So the more per sonal property in existence, the better for everyone; and if this is true, as even the Trammpt must admit, it is only the part of public policy that personal property lie exempted from taxation. For it is an axiom of political economy that a tax levied on a product of labor increases the cost of the product, and that as cost increases, con sumption decreases. But while taxes on industry inevitably in crease tho cost of production, and hence tend tq decrease tho output and reduce tho number of laborers employed, a tax on land as inevit ably decreases its celling value, and hence, by giving agreator number of people access to those natural opportunities from which alono all must live, tends to stimu late production aud employ more labor. Now these are self-evident propositions, aud must be applied as well to lands and personal prop erty of every description as to rail roads. Tax the farmer's land in deed 1 Surely tho Transcript is not i. 1 1 1 so silly as to suppose uis ianu eicapes now. At present not only is the farmer's land taxed, but everything ho has, including ira-, v Dyspepsia tui aar lt nlwrthl, m ltt W wit 4ttfrratUKL niMrM ftef On, itck h4rB hMHUrn, Wl MaiBwh, Bimlal 4tiMlaB, tr . iiMd it IUU Wl (umbo u4 (item . till tllMILM. fllMMl't UUpMlUttoUMth Kunuh, mlM mm41W, ftromoto dt rMUUU. 1IM BMdWbdalMlt lb Wlul tud curat 4riMi. la a Terrible Condition.
