'.No taxation for surplus" was the
Presidents admirable message to Con-
gress and the country. In spite of the
protests of the ablest Republican think
ers and journalists of the country, the
Republican politicians and Presiden-
tial candidates have joined issue for
the campaign on this point Both
Blaine and Sherman. differing widely
in other things, have agreed that tax
alton for surplus is not unconstitu-
tional; not unjust; not illegal; not ex-
tortionate; not dangerous to financial
stability; not destructive of commerce
and trade; not onerous to the mercan-
tile classes; not burdensome to work
ers; not an extortion from the whole
people. Never before were the line
SO sharply drawn on this question at
the opening of Presidential CAM
paign. Never before was the Repub-
lican party forced to mass its strength
to defend the most untenable point in
its fallacy; never before was the DEM
ocratic party in position which COM
mands victory so surely.
Since Sherman made his bid for the
Presidency at Springfield, the Repub-
lican party has made blunder after
blurder, but the supreme blunder is
this attempt to defend the negative
against Mr.. Cleveland's strong. plain
and manly affirmative proposition that
taxation for surplus is dangerous, I'M
constitutional, and under any circum-
stances Anjustifiable.
