or Brandenburgs, coming from Local
holding. OF Conrad, the first Hohen

youngster,w who came from South Germany
in the year 1l10, where his family lived
on step of the mountains in front of the
Black Forest. Nearly seven centuries
after the stalwart young knight appeared
on the stage of history, his descendent

WIN SuNII WE TAXt

"The proposition that taxes should be
removed from tue necessities of life
rather than from the opportunities seemed
too plain, direct. and honest to admit sue.
cessful contradiction. The tariff and the
internal revenue system were but particu.
lar forms of taxation, but their operation
was widely different The tariff was "a
tax on necessities. the internal revenue a
tax ON supertluilies As 10 free trade
whether desirable or undesirable neither
friend nor foe WAS likely 10 live TO see it
in this country .seHat0r C0iQudfs Speech.
The Senator also said that the proposed
abolition of the internal revenue taxes
was so popular with Republicans that it
looked like a trick TO retain the taxes on
the necessary articles OF life
The Democratic leaders would be wise
10 take that text and stick 10 it instead
of playing shuttlecOck with every little
article OF many of which the names are not
known, and most of which are insignifi-
cant in comparison with the articles
taxed eXorbitantly in such manner as
To make every citizen in the United
State feel the burden, and this when the
taxes are not needed but when the object
of legislation is to get rid of one hundred
millions ayear of surplus revenue.
Let the Republicans cry aloud to the
reverberate echoes that the high tariff
protects American labor.
The counter question is how much
American labor does it protect. About
1000, 600, at the outside to whom G0,OOO,.
600 pay the tribute
This is as gross a tyranny in the interest
Of the monopolists as feudal barons
would have imposed by mere arbitrary
personal will. The only reason that the
people do not arise and stamp the out
rage ont is that there have always been
vast figures arranged in a bill to
revise the tariff, and the opposition
could kill the measure with showers OF
bubbles. The discussion became
smothered in insignificant squabbes over
the hundreds OF small items. This
jumbed effort at reforming the tariff be
came an elaborate display on each side OF
petty objections of petty interests until
finally Congress adjourns without doing
anything All that il heard is the grand
names Of Morrison, Randall, Carlisle.
Now if these gentlemen are wise lead
ers instead of mere political asprants TO
the presidency, the best thing for them
TO do is 10 demand on the part of the
Democratic majority repeal of the lax
on wool and reduction of the duty on
manufactured wooden goods, and second
ly, ,he repeal of the tax on raw sugar.
and sufficient reduction on the refined
grades as to put before every indi
yidual in the country the practical
work OF the Democratic party in reduc
ing TO fair price the articles OF every day
use. \ separate bill for each can be psssed
on, and if the country can understand
that it was presented by the Democrat:
and defeated 10y the Republicans, the mex
President will be a Democrat. But there
is no certainty Of it il the majority in tho
House merely dodge the great RESPONSE
bility and make pre,ense without til,
