Brewster cameron ON one Ragged Edge

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-Merricks says
the attorney general is investigating the
conduct of Brewster Cameron in the
alleged attempt TO influence the star
route jury. Such an investigation, he
thinks, is demanded, to dispose of any
imputation that might affect the charac-
ter of an officer of his department.
Foreman Diskson's original statement
has been followed by a contradiction
and denials, but ifany corrupt act should
be finally proven against Cameron or
any other officer of the department, he
will be summarily dismissed from the
government service.

Crooked Taxation.
People Taxed not In Proportion to their
Property, but In Proportion to
their Expenses.
HOW FARMERS. MECHANICS AND TRADES
MEN ARE TAXED FOR THE BENEFIT OF
THOSE HAVING LARGE INCOMES,
BY THOMAS q. THARMAN

Who says that there is nothing in a
name? People have neard all their lives
about indirect taxation, and think it a
very good thing. But call it just what
1t is-crooked -and it does not look
nearly SO respectable. Crooked ways are
not generally honest; and a man whose
dealings are always crooked is not gener-
ally beloved. In the long run, crooked
ways are nc the most profitable, either
to individuals or nations.
W The rulers Of all LANDS. however. have
preferred crooked methods of taxation,
for the obvious reason that they have
wanted to use the taxes for crooked pur-
poses But why the American people,
who suppose themselves to be their own
rulers should always have preferred
crooked systems OF taxation TO straight
forward ones, is not SO easy to tell. They
have paid tremendous price for III
and the worst of ii IL that this price has
been paid almost entirely by the poor.
, Indirect taxation invariably means q

IA Observe the contrast Taxation falls
SO lightly on the millionalrs that they
can live in the utmost luxury and yet
save forty-five times the amount Of their
tax burden, while it bears so heavily on
the poor. that they cannot save one-fourth
sof the amount taken from them under
pretense of taxation.
Farmers and mechanics arc induced TO
keep up this system under which they
paw more than nine.tenths OF all the tax
ees, while the tax-burden is twice as much
as goes to the government, by the fear of
direct taxation and the idea that wages
are kept up by protection. How much
do they gain by it, even on the protect-
ionists theory? 8. 5 ssi
No honest protectionist will pretend
that wages in this country average more
than % per cent. higher than in England,
lin the three great protected Industries
iron, cotton and woolen manufactures.
Only 500, 900 persons are employed IN
any protected manufactures. Let US sup
pose that their wages are raised 90 per
cent. by the tariff, that is, from $500 to
$500, That would be q gain of $40, ,00C-
900 year. But this tariff system of tax
alton takes $40,000.000 year out of
them; whereas, under direct taxation,
IL they paid upon every cent OF their in
comes( which they never did and never
would) they would pay only $4,000, ,000
even under the present extravagant rev
enues Of the Government, whicha are far
in excess OF its needs. Thus these pro.
tected workmen gain, at the utmost,
only $17, 7,000, 600 BY crooked taxation.
What does it cost the rest OF the people
to put this $f7, 900, 900 into the protec-
ted workmen's pockets? In order to dc

workmen do not get one cent Of the
money, because wages always were
higher in this country than IN England
before we had any tariff, but we have
preferred to calculate on the protection
ist assumption to the contrary.
Farmers and mechanics, depend upon
It, whether crooked taxation is profitable
for speculators and gamblers or not, it is
certainly not profitable for you.
