REVENUE.
A SYSTEM OF OPPRESSION AND
ROBBERY.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading Radi-
cal newspaper of the Northwest denounces
the Internal Revenue system as plan for
robbery and oppression. In recent
issue it says;
II there be anything more oppressive
and offensive than the enormous taxation
10 which the country 10 subjected, II is the
manner in which the revenue laws are en-
forced by the Offices Of the government M
Washington. The power To tax Is the
highest power that government can exer-
else. Under our constitution, that power
is vested exclusively in Congress, but, In
practice, IL is exercised by the Commission
er of Internal Revenue and his subordi-
mates, who think IL TO be their chief duty
TO levy and collect all taxes not prohibited
bv law. We have had several Commits
.ioners, and each seems Ia have been hired
with nm ambition To invent new forms OF
taxation and new modes Of extortion, not
dreamed of By his predecessors. The rule
of the Internal Revenue Office Is 10 con-
s,rue every law, every section and every
provision oflaw into nm authority 10 barass
somebody with n tax not heard Of before.
II any body objects To paying IL, the Com
missioner seizes his place OF business, takes
possession of his establishment, carries oil
his private books and papers, and viz
tually ruins him. The victim has
the choice to pay the tax, or be
destroyed in business. He generally pays
the tax, which, in nine eases cut Of ten,
where there is dispute, illegal. Commits
sioner Delano surpasses all his predecessors
in this overbearing, extortionste policy Of
hunting down tho public with small
technicalities, which, Illegal in themselves,
are doubly oppressive because they are
vexatious, intcrmcddling exactions, made
| in an annoying and despo;ic manner often
BY subordinstes, who, copying the style OF
| their chief, consider themselves sustain
ing his dignity by making themselves
| equally offensive.
| From the date of this system of taxation
until now, the government has been guilty
OF the folly of maintaining corps Of
spies, nominally to hunt down those who
evade the laws, but actually TO divert
revenue from the Treasury into the hands
of licensed thieves.
It's safe to assume. without reference

detective force of the custom and internal
fraud 10 the two they prevent or bring to
Justice. They suggest the mode by which
frauds may be safely and probably prac-
ticed, and, 50 long a. they are able 10 share
the profits, they protect the swindlers and
not the government.
The internal revenue laws are admins

possible. If clause will admit Of two
constructions, under one Of which man
may be taxed 10 per cent. once, and
another Interpretation by which he may
be taxed 10 per cent. twice on the same
transaction, the department will travel out
of its way 10 establish the most extortion- |
ate rule, and put upon the victim the
expense Of lawsuit IL he makes q
