Protection
That Protects
When a man insures bis
life under the old form cf
insurance, he is simply
assured that a certain
sum will be paid to his
wife, children, or heirs at
his death. Good enough
in its way, but there is a
much better w ay. The
Tontine Instalment Pol
icy of the
Equitable
Life
not only insures but pro
tects the benificiary from
loss of the insurance as
well. For further par

that so staunch a tariff re

What relief do the Popu
lists offer? It is embodied in
a great schem furthered by
Hon. John Davis, the Popu
list leader from Kansas. He
proposes to tax on estates of
from two to eight percent.,
and estates worth moi-'e than j
ten millions nt eighteen per
cent. Aud what do you sup
pose he intends to do with
the money thus derived ? It
is to be divided among. the
States, and used "in paying
soldiers the difference be
tween the greenbacks they
were jiaid in and gold, with
interest f i om 180(1; in build
ing canals and improving
c aunty roads, and in main
taining a national guard."
This is a pretty program.
Mr. Davis tries tosugat coat
it for the Sooth by providing
that our proportion shall go
for "building cai.als" iVc.
With the government finan
ces already depleted aud an
active deficit upon us, en used
by the dependent pension bill,
vetoed by Cleveland and ap
proved by Harrison, business
men and farmers are in no
mood to see another dollar
expended towards giving the
soldiers this buck pay.
We are in favo of an in
come tax, but we want ihe
money it will bring in demot
ed to paying the present bur
dens, which are too heavy, in
order that the taxes on the
necessaries of life may be les
sened. It is unfortunate that
the Democrats everywhere d
not favor an ine nne tax, and
the division ot the party in
favor of such imposition is. a
cause of weakness But the
Populists offer us nothing
that is worthy of our con
sideration, even if t hey were

It is a Jewish tradition that
once upon a timetwo butter
flies settled upon the roof of
Solomon's temple, and the
male butterfly said to his
wife. "If I stamp with my
foot, 1 could at once demol
ish tins temple." The lady
bufteifly trembled and shiv
ered at her husdand's resolu
tiona.iy speech, and two of
the king's sentinels, over hear
ing it took the butterfly intu
custody and brought him for
judgment before Solomon,
who said: "Audacious in-t-.ect!
What do you mean by
A our boast?" The butterfly
'.lowed. "Sir. I onb, said it
to impress the missus!" Up
on hearing winch Solomon
smiled complete comprehen

should beset at liberty. The

Landmark: Hon. A. Leazar
tells the "'Standard' that he
thinks there ought to be a
State board of pardons, in
stead of allowing one man en

does not believe the Govern

siders the responsibility too
great and too serious. We
have long favored some ar
