PoTsDAM, June 15.-Emperor Frederick

BERLIN, June l5.-Before his death
Emperor Frederick gave directions that
his remains should be inferred in the garri-
son church at Potsdam. President Csrnot
OF the French republic telegraphed a
message of sympathy to the new German
emperor and the cabinet ministers left
their cards at the German embassy. An
hour after midnight the empress dismissed
the members of the imperial family to their
apartments and prepared herself to pass
the night in room adjoining the sick
chamber of the emperor. Dr.. Howell
shared in the vigil. At this time the en-
peror was in full possession of his facul-
ties. Shortly after O'clock he wrote on a
slip of paper the following questions
which he handed to Dr. Howell: "How is
my pulse? Are you satisfied with it ?'
he then wrote something more, but re-
tained the piece of paper in his hand,
afterward erasing the words. Between 2
and o'clock his breathing became terribly
labored and some moments of struggle
would occur, alternating with spasms and
great distress. As the hard fight with
approaching death progressed, the strength
waning. AS soon as it became evident
that the end was near the empress caused
the royal family to be summoned. At 8

The Republican Party and Taxation
Topeka Commonwealth.


A good many Democratic newspapers
quote the tariff plank of the Republican
convention in 1868, which declares that
lit is due to the labor Of the nation that
taxation should be cquaized and reduced
as rapidly as the national faith will per-
NIT" and pretend that the party has
violated its pledge 10 ''equalize and re.
duce taxation" They 20 before the
country claiming that the Democratic
party is the party Of low taxation. and
that the Republican party favors high
taxation. What are the real facts as to
the carrying ont Of the pledge made in
1868 and the position of the Republican
party on the question at this timer
In 1868 the government collected $3.50,
552. 1S9.0 o. from the customs and internal
revenue, while the imports in that year
were only 1871, 1876, 40.
In 1884 the imports had nearly doubled,
being sG6, 691, 693, and the internal bust
ness Of the country had trebled, yet the
amount collected W taxes, customs and
internal revenue. had diminished to s3l6,'
G53, 500 ga decline in taxation Of S3S,
S9S G2G.s0 in spite OF he enormous
growth Of the country in business. popu-
lation and wealth.
The Republican party removed the in.
tcrnal revenue taxes from every article
except whisky and tobacco.
The Republican party placed tea and
coffee on the free list, and tea and coffee
are the poor man drinks.
The Republican party removed every
food product not grown in this country
from the tariff list TO the free list.
In the twenty years that have elapsed
since the platform of 1868 the Republican
party has held possession of the govern.
ment but eight years. In those eight
years il reduced the revenue. and added
largely to the free list. In the twelve
years that the Democratic party held a
working majority in the House Of Repre-
sentatives not a single revenue reduction
measure passed that body where all
revenue measures must originate.
In the past fourteen years the Republi-
cans held a majority but two years
from 1881 10 1888. In those two years
the only revenue reduction law that has
been seen since the Democratic tidal
wave of 1874 was passed by Republi
can Congress and signed by Republican
President
In 1865 nearly every article Of import
was subject TO duty. and the average
tariff on the value Of the imports for that
year was 46 80 per cent
In 1887 the customs duties collected
were but 81. 03 per cent on the value Of
the imports
On this record the Republican party
goes before the country. On this record
il appeals to such voters rs wish 10 see
the revenue of the government reduced.
The Republican party. if placed in con-
troll Of the government. will have the
courage TO reduce the revenue. and the
judgment 10 reduce ii in such amount
and in such quarters that ii will neither
cripple the government nor injure the
industries of the country.
