WHO PAYS pIsnoNEsT CLAIMsY

We are all too apt to forget that 1t Is our
is cheated. Most of us have erected iu our
minds OF our imaginations an old CREsus
which we have christened The Govern
mont," and we look upon il very much in
the light Of o rich old uncle who might and
ought TO do something handsome for MS and
for everybody else. How false all this IL a
very little reflection will show 10 everyone.
We shall soon perceive that our Govern
ment is simply great cooperative associa-
tion Of the people for their own mutual pro-
lection and assistance. We all contribute
to its revenues. Each time we consume
whisky, tobacco, matches foreign goods and
merchandise, wines and liquors we pay
taxes into the Treasury Of the United
States, Consequently we are nation OF
Taxpayers. The poor man pays nearly as
much tax for the support of the General
Government as the rich man and oftentimes
more. The laborcr who lives generously is
q much larger taxpayer than the wealthy
miser who lives mcanly.
ihNSc tHiuEo DClup tluct tut pbOh iith
who consumes literally of his wages pays his
full quota Of tax and every time rich iul'
porter or manufacturer evades his taxes he
robs the Treasury--that is, he steals from
the poor men, who arc obliged to pay, and
from those rich men who honestly pay theii
allotted quotas he steals from you ~
well as from every honest producer ant
consumer in this broad land. If werealizet
the full truth Of this, as we ought, we should
hear of no sympathy from honest ant
respectable men for the moonshiners" o
for Illicit traflickers Of any sort. Wheneve
an American citizen reads the word Govern
ment he should OF once say inwardly
"That's me-" Whenever he reads that tn
revenue has been deffauded he should ga,
and feel, " have been robbed" And when
ever he hears that one Of these robbers In
been rescued by mob he should feel tina
his own person has been outraged IN the per
sons of the officers who have thus been cir
cumvented and maltreated. Until We d
begin to view our form Of government Il
this light, as part and parcel Of our col
lective selves, we shall have no adequat
idea Of the real interests and responsibilitie
that rest upon us in the title of citizen.
When we learn to make IN individual
application of ali governmental affairs W
will become more vigilaut in the matter
Of nominating and choosing officers an,
law makers We shall then cease TO be
come the easy cats-paws Of political EN-
pirics and Adventures. We shall instruc
our lawmakers to legislate in the interes
of the laboring and x-paying consumer in
stead Of the manufacturer and importer
in the interest of the cheapest transporta
ton and most rapid communication, in
stead Of that OF the railway and steame
and telegraph and express companies, VIII,
