Reasons Of the South and West
for Desiring to Impose an In
come Tax--UneQual Division OF
the National Burdens.
Especial to the \. Y. Herald.

WASHINGTON. December q. - The
argument which will be made IN favor
of the re-imposition of the income
tax is that this Is the only W. to
make the burden of internal axe
equal, or nearly SO, over the whole
country. Mr.. Randolph Tucker, of
Virginia. one of the committee of ways
and means, has prepared a statement
on this subject, IN which 1t is shown
hat in 1879, out of a revenue of inter
nal taxes of somewhat over S103. 000,-
600. the Northern States, including
Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,. Rhode Island and Con-
necticut, paid 81 600, 600, but in pro-
portion to population should nave paid
50. $50, 900, and according to wealth
nearly $14. OOO, 900. The Middle States
New York. New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania and Delaware, paid S24, 600. 600.
Their contribution, according to popu-
lation. would have been the same
amount, but their proportion ccord
ing TO wealth would have been Sos
500. 600. The Northwestern States and
the Territories, including OHIO, IN
diana, Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin,,
Iowa. Minnesota, Kansas. Nebraska,
Montana, Dakota, Colorado, Arizona,
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. paid S43,-
500, 900. Their prOportionate share &C
cording to population would have been
only $50, 333, 1913, and according to
wealth only f27, 500, 900. The Southern
Middle States, including Maryland.
Virginia, West Virginia, North Caro-
lima, Kentucky and Missouri, paid 800
600. 600, but their proportion according
to population would have been only
SIT, $50, 900, and according to wealth
only 5 Il, 800, OH0. The cotton States,
including South Carolina. Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee,
paid s2,25O, 600, but their proportion
according to population would have
been $19, 500, 600, but according to
wealth ST, 900, 900. The Pacific States
paid over So, 900, 900, but according to
population should have paid less han
So 600, 600, and according to wealth
less than 50, ESQ, 600.
1t is asserted by the advocates of the
income tax that nearly all the untaXed
government bonds are owned In the
Northern SeabOard States, n that the
only way to make this kind OF proper
ty contribute it's share to the general
revenue is to lay an income tax. There
is also a determination to lay a high
tax on large incomes, the prev aillng
idea on this subject being to exempt
all incomes under $4,000, and to gra-
duate the tax o II per cent. up to
five, and some wish it even up to seven
or eight per cent. or incomes exceed
ing $50, 900 or $40, OOO. The general
belief is hat the Northwest and the
South will join together to impose the
income tax, and the principal question
seems to be about its mount A plan
will ho nrroI on tho HnllCa To co ra11,-
late the income tax as to exempt all
incomes derived from salaries or pro-
fessiOns or the actual labor Of the in
d%ividual, and tax only the accumulated
wealth which itself yields an income
to its pOssessOrs.

A Silent Man at Plevna.

When OSman ordered a white flag to
be displayed, he SEN a little silent man
to the Russian lines to negotiate the
terms of surrender. The messenger
was Tetik Bey, the Chief of Staff Of the
garrison of Plevna. Mr.. MacGahan
describes him as a clean and nattv
young officer, with a round, rosy face.

eyes. He halted for a moment. and
was silent. He then spoke in French
with good accent, but slowly, as if
choosing his words. He said, "Osman

pause, which soon became embarrass-
ing. The Turk showed no hurry to
speak, and the Russians evidently felt
delicacy in asking if he had come to
surrender besides which there really
was no officer there who had the right
to treat with him. The situation was
critical. and if it possessed an amusing
element was also embarrassing. The
armies were not more than 500 yards
apart, with arms in their hands, for the
Russian infantry had gradually moved
down toward the bridge. Finally Gen.

Gold Barbaric,

There is a charm in gold, in its very
look and touch, that cOmpels respect
for 1t. We ~instinctively recognize its
claims to gentil,ty above all the other
metals of the world. There i no dis
putting them. 1t carries It's own pass
port to good society, establishes its
own right to confidence and respect at
sight and there is no installing the
counterfeit for the real metal. Like
the true gentleman, it makes itself
known and felt, no matter in what
garb 1T may experimentation in the
barbarlc nugget or dust, just dug from
the earth, or washed from the stream,
or refined and moulded into the most
pleasing shape. 1t is the bearer of its
own credentials, and needs no letters
of credit or introduction. 1t is vel
come il every circle, cOurted in every
society, and equally at home in the
castle and the hOvel. 1t IS as good as
gold in all the martS OF commerce
whether stamped or weighed, and re-
ceives no additional value from any
eXtraneOuS circumstance. It's intrinsic
worth is its universal passport, and is
the same unvarylng standard in all
countries and times. AS far back into
the dim past as history carries us we
find it still holding the same high place
in the worlds love, and the thirst tor
its possession has been the same,
whether with the barbarian or the po-
lite. Indeed, there may We'll be doubts
from its universal recognition, If its
recognized value be not an instinct of
our human nature, we SO soon IN life
take to It's worship. But whether it be
innate and therefore fixed as an un-
alteraDle law, or not, we all feel that
it is the fixed and settled measure of
value, an unvarylng one, and will on
tinu so through all time.

his memory may be cherished, for he was a man of
God The knowledge, too, that it was made by the
hands of one of that race in whose cause he died
is the best to those who denounced
him, holding that were incapable
OF high attainments." Mr. Garnet responded
in graceful speech in which he set forth
the shining qualities OF the hero of Harpers Ferry,
and related several incidents of their long
panionshp. Mr.. George T. Downing, who hg-
ured in the Harper's Ferry outbreak. delivered a
