Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1888-01-13

A man in Dakota advertises that se will
be hanged in any mans place for $40
coo. Wonder if he wants the money in
advancef He doesn't appear to know
much about the Law, anyway. A man who
can raise $4,000 Is not in much danger
of being sentenced to be hanged.

DISASTER AND SUFFERING,

and accursed by every friend of the gen
erai welfare of the country. But when
that abominable policy was still further
aided and executed by snatching (as it
were) the money of the people from their
very hands, at the rate of ten millions
month, without necessity, excuse or pallia-
tion, every honest mind had to revolt
against such wauton robbery. And
yet, the day before the recess, the
senator from Colorado (Teller) had
sneered at the i1ea of the surplus being
of any consequence; and the senator
from Ohio (Sherman) had declared mot
by cable from Paris, but on the floor of
the senate) that it was fortunate for the
country that there was a surplus of fifty
five millions in the treasury. 1t would
be for the interest of the senate if he
should become the republican candidate
for the presidency next summer

why it was fortunate that their money
was gathered into the treasury in excess
of all uses, prescriptions and wants of
the government instead OF remaining in
the pockets of the people. There was in
the republican press and among ropubli-
can politicians, determined, persistent,
and brazen campaign of mendacity on
this subject, and it would continue in the
councils and field work OF the republican
party day by day, morning, noon and
night, until the frOsts of next November
come towither and blast alike

THEIR FALsEHooDs AND rHE1B HOPES.

He denied that the president had de
parted one jot or little from the declara-
tion of the last democratic platform on
the subject of taxation. Incidental pro-
lection to home manufacturers has always
been the policy of the democratic party.
1t was recognized in the last democratic
national platform. He rejoiced in every
element of American success. He was
proud of the inventive genius of the
country and of its vast establish
ments, where skilled labor abounded.
He would encourage them in their gigan-
tic career of development and usefulness;
aud he held that the policy of the demo
cratic party had been always ample for
their pros Perity and progress. That was
the only safe policy for American manu-
facturers themselves. Ii it were once
clearly understood that manufacturers as
a class, demanded that they be enriched
by means of fraudulent taxes that they
accept the guidance of the leaders of the
republican party, and join in their
praises, then indeed, perils would environ
the manufacturing interests of the coun-
try such es were never known before.
If the democratic party, with its record
of more than fifty years in the admins
tration of the government, and its frank
and constant declaration of princi ples,
was to be charged with the folly of free
trade every time an attempt was made to
modify the tariff tho people would very
soon and very clearly fiud out that such
assaults were only made to divert
public attention from the evil designs
and schemes of plunder of which they
were the victims.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1888-01-13

Proceeding to discuss the message of
the president he said it was pleasure to
him to declare that this remarkable state
| paper vas true to the principles and
teachings of the democratic party from
its foundation by Jefferson 81 years ago
to the present day. and that the thanks
of the laboring and business classes of
the country were due TO the executive for
seizing Or that vital issue with the grasp
of strong honest man, and for present
ing it TO his coUutrymen in such shape
and light that it never would disappear
until the wrongs therein presented
we're exposed aud redressed, and
until the the outrages of over
taxation ceased. Since the matchless
! and immortal inaugural of Jefferson on
the 4th of March, 1901, no communica-
tion had ever emanated from the chief
magistrate of this government more
noble, more elevated in statesmanship,
more humane and benevolent IN its pur-
pose, or more conducive to the general
welfare and good government than the
message undor consideration.
TIE PRACTICAL QUESTION OF TAXATION.
Coming down to the practical ques-
tion of taxation he was aware that there
were many objections to internal taxes,
but on grounds far different from the
desire to perpetuate enormous and Tn
Just tariff taxes on the necessaries of
life. For many years, and especially in
several states, the whole system has
been used as a powerful instrument
of partisan political warfare, and has
been rendered odious to every free
minded citizen. But while the heavy
taxes which have been laid by the war
tariff on every article entering into the
wants aud necessities Of the people wsre
not reduced at all, he submitted that the
work of reform aRd reduction should be
pursued in that field, and the inter
nal revenue system left to stand
yet awhile, subject to certaiu
notifications. As TO tobacco, be sug-
gested that the tax on cigars and snuff
might lie retained, and the rest of the tax
abolished. The great bulk of the abate-
ment in taxation, however, would have to
take place in careful and prudent review
of the tariff. As choice between reduc-
ing internal revenue or tariff taxes, he
would labor to cheaper woolens, linens,
cotton fabrics, salt, lumber, coal, iron,
steel, and all other staple commodities,
rather than articles INDUCED in from ac-
qaired habits or luxurious modes of liT-
