Discovery of Gold.
ilm romnntio story of tho young
man who lias returned homo rich
this world'H goods, from having
discovered a gold mine in Now Zf-a
hind, comes from Loudon. '
Tho youth was about to throw a
stono nt a wood pigeon, nnd as he
hold it for a moment to take a
hotter aim, ho noticed that some
thing glistened in tho pobblo. IIo
looked at it more carefully and
observod that thero was a traco of
gold. IIo proceeded then to ex
amino tho ground on which ho
found it nnd ho again remarked tho
ovistonco of tho namo precious metal.
IIo and a friend immediately pur
chased n small claim, and having
prospected it thoy found that thoy
possessed a gold mine.
It may be remarked that Olivor
Martin's pickax struck tho famous
5,500 nugget, tho largest over
found in California, when ho was
digging his partner's gravo; that
tho great mine of tho Antilles was
discovered through tho accident of
a rabbit running to earth, and an
Indian trying to dig it out; that
tho rich . miuo in, CalavoraB county
was brought to light by two fuel
gatborms who woro preparing an
earth ovon to cook a haunch of veni
son; that another mine in Arizona
was revealod by tho accidental ex
plosion of dynamito, and that tho
second largest nugget in California
foil to tho lot of a young Indian
who cfjancod to -wash his overalls in
tho stream where it was bidden.
And now a rich gold miuo has
been discovered at Tokio, capable,
thoy say, of producing two or threo
millions storling annually nt a time
whon tho country needs all the gold
it can amass.
The money you save in this closing-ou tsale
is worth your while to lay in a supply.

Nearly every man one meets has
a different theory about taxation, a
subject upon which even the politi
cal economists themselves take such
diverse views that it is not surpris
ing that in a country of the size
and diversity of the United States
there should be such want of uni
formity in this important matter.
Popular government, moreover,
whatever its merits may be, fre
quently adds to the confusion in
policies demanding such highly
scientific analysis as taxation. Dy ,
the very nature of things there ex-1
ists a certain antagonism between I
farming and manufacturing com-1
munities when it comes to a discus
sion of this character, and in the
West the ranchman and the miner
arc frequently found at loggerheads
in the legislative body.
The Kddy law of Oregon serves
as a lirst rate illustration of the I ,
icsults achieved in the local parlia- I
mentswhen two dissimilar indus-'
tries find themselves at variance in
reguard to the distribution of the
public's fiscal burdens. In that
state the measure was enacted by
the overwhelming vote of the agn
cultural representatives, while the
mining interests opposed it and are
still engaged in the light. At the
forthcoming session of the legtsla
ture the matter will again consume
a great deal of the lawmakers' time.
The Eddy law provides for a tax
upon corporations, and as the
agricultural industry seldom oper
ates under this form, the tax does
not often reach the farmer directly,
while the prevailing custom of
carrying on of mining enterprises
under corporate directorship at
tracts the burden of taxation large
ly to this industry.
A universally just theory of tax
ation many be stated as follows.
The state beiud conducted for the
protection and benefit of its citizens
and the state revenue being the
price which the citizens pay for the
same taxes should be apportioned,
according to the amount of protec
tion and other benefit'! received by
each. In present day society the
benefits of government do not talk
qf protection for the individual life
so much as they do the protection
of property rights. The bulk of
our laws relate to the rights of pro
perty, aud the proceedings of courts
mainly concern actions in which
property is involved.
This therefore naturally throws
the burden upon property rights,
but there is another point of view
from which the matter should be
approached as well. The state
should not aim to so far tax the
privilege of property as to nulify
the privilege, and this is the case
particularly where the privilege is
such as to rightfully call for state
encouragement rather than oppres
sion encouragement in the ulti
mate interest of the whole com
monwealth. The Department of
Agriculture of the national govern
ment exists for the encouragement
of manufacturers, and the inevitable
Department of Mines and Mining
will exist for the encouragement of
tue mineral industry, which is not
yet ns highly developed as either of
the others. Taxation for the sup
port ot these services is of course
necessary, but it is possible for lo
cal taxation to proceed in a direc
tion absolutely antagonistic to the
higher purpose of building up the
industrial lite.

on the score of its existence, is not
a tax upon property. It corre
sponds to a poll tax, which is a
burden upon life itself, while the
former is a burden upon mere asso
ciation. Mining corporations par
ticularly, organized to make a prop
erty privilege a privilege indeed, to
turn latent wealth by arduous pro
cess into active wealth, are as
naked in their innocence and pro
ductive aud consumptive helpless
ness as a new-born child. Far
from burdening the corporate in
strument beyond its native means,
the state should rather nourish its
life and fall back upon property ,
nehts. and active weaitu lor us
own support.
Corporations have received such
a hard name in America that the
farmer may think they are all in
imical to public happiness, but he
should draw a distinction between
burdening the huge earning power
of a company's proporty and bur
dening the mere formality of being
which the association possesses.
All miners except single-taxers will
agree to a taxation of improve
ments, also of property and per
haps of output, providing the tax
of one does not duplicate the tax
upon another.
Thoreau, the charming essayist
of the New Hnglaud forest, refused
to pay a fifty-cent poll tax ou the
ground that no state had a right to
levy upon his life. Doubtbss he
would have been incarceraled for
his delinquency had not his friend
Emerson, having au eye to the ex
pediencies of law, secretly paid the
tax for him. The expediencies of
law may find it necessary to impose
a fee upon chartered association,
just as a physician charges for the
task of ushering a child into the
world, but a standing levy upon
the right of association is a burden
upon the means whereby the
highest economic efficiency ever
reached by society is accomplished.
