scribed(, with the lowest rate Of taxation.
Begin then, with properties having
higher valuation than 81 900 and increase
the rate Of taxation slightly with each
step in advance Of value. Subject the
first $1 900 above what might be termed
the pioneer, that Is, the most fayorably
taxed $1,000 TO If times the lowest rate
Of taxation; the second $1,000 above the
pioneer $1,000 TO 12 times the lowest
rate; the + 900 above il l.3 times the
lowest rate, and pursue without change
this scale of progression, for the values
taxed and the rates imposed respectively,
until the tenth 81 900 is reached and the
the rate Of taxation has become twice the
lowest rate.
AT this point enlarge the steps in the
scale of values from $1,000 to $4,000
and, with the rate advanced along with
out any change, proceed as before. That
Is, subject the first $4,000 above the pio-
neer $4,000 to 81 times the lowest rate
Of taxation; the second $4,000 above it
to 30 times the lowest rate Of taxation;
the third $4,000 above it TO 2.3 times the
lowest rate; and continue these steps un-
til the tenth $4,000 has been reached and
the rate Of interest has become three
times the lowest rate
Here enlarge the steps in the scale OF
values again, making them 100000 in
stead Of $4,000, and, carrying the rate
along without break, subject each success
sive 100000 above the pioneer 100000
ITO It's resulting rate Of taxation, that is to
three and some fraction times the lowest
rate, and so continue until the tenth
100000 has been reached and the rate Of
taxation has become four times the lowest
rate.
From this point forward make Sl,OOO,-
600 the steps in the scale of values, and
continue the Use Of that sum as the steps,
with the rate Of taxation advanced from
step to step as before, for all establish
ments the worths Of which run up into
the millions
Such, in It's method Of application and
form of arrangement, is the cumulative
tax, and it can be readily seen why
it will work the suppression of the trusts
and yet not be directed singly and exclu-
sively to that purpose. 1t does II through
the possession OF property which com
poses one Of the chief merits Of the tax,
namely, the property Of preventing over
enlargement or excessive concentration
wherever and whenever capital iscollect-
ed together for useful purpose, or keep
ing all Industrial establishments down TO
the proportions, as to size and capacity,
which constitutes adequacy and Complet-
ness, and of substituting for the present
unwieldy, IMPLICATED and mperfectly
managed enormities an increased num-
ber Of smaller but perfect and we'll man
aged establishments, distributed regular
ly and evenly over the country, proper
~ that would make the tax we'll worth
striving for had it no relation to the sup
preston Of monopolies and served to
work no other form Of reformation than
the mere prevention Of over enlargement.
We have now seen that the cumulative
tax is the tariff tax applied to affairs in
land, with such improvements upon the
tariff plan ms the change Of situation
The advocate., 1890-07-09
TIRE TAX QUESTION.


Without doubt the cumulative tax Is
destined 10 occupy a prominent place
among the reform measures Of the fut'
ure. II is emlnently practical, strikes
directly at some Of the worst abuses OF
the time, and is receiving unqualified
endorsement from alliance men and other
people In all parts Of the country. II is
consequently a most appropriate subject
for discussion In the columns Of reform
papers.
Some may imagine that the cumulative
tax Is something new in the way Of reform
measures, something entirely different
from anything else that has ever before
been tried, and that lbs application is TO
be Of novel and original nature. If
they do they are mistaken. II Is not 10
be departure from all prior endeavors
and experiences, nor ls It's application TO
be new. Far from being 80 II is intended
TO be the application Of an old and we'll
tried principle in furtherance Of the same
kind Of an object II has long been used
10 secure. The only departure from ex-
istlng practice that Is meditated is an
extension Of IN application TO cover addi-
tIonal but similar ground That and
nothing more The cumulative tax Is
simply the tariff principle extended 80 as
TO afford us protection from dangers
within, the same sort Of protection that
the tariff affords us from dangers without
ITO protect us from home monopOlists
as the tariff protects US from foreign
monopOlists.
II the tariff, then, is proper law TO
have In force, the cumulative tax Isl for
the home monopollsts are like the for
eign mOnopollsts in everything you can
think Of, both as to their character and
their relationship toward us, except loca-
tlon, Between the home monopollat and
the foreign mOnOpollst there is not, no far
as their methods and Intentions are con-
cerned, the Sign Of a difference, Both
have been cast in the same mould and are
identical In all that pertains to their
make up, their powers and their designs
upon the people, Both flourish by the
suppression Of rivals, and both seek the
privilege Of controlling the American
markets and over-Charging and under
paying us at will II the foreign monop-
Ollst does not now atroclously encroaoh
upon us il is because he Is prevented
from it by tariff; the native monopollst
does so because he is not prevented
by law similar in lis restraining inilu
ences TO the tariff.
Protectionlsts may not have fairly per
ceived the fact that these two classes Of
monopollsts are alike in all but location,
but It is a fact, nevertheless, and valua-
bic one to be understood, for whenever
we have catalogued the native mOnopO-
Mt In the same schedule with the for
.gn mOnopOlist, we will be prepared to
deal with him as relentlessly Os we have
one with the foreigner and put an end
20 the eXtortion so heartily practiced by
him upon our people.
We have no more right TO be robbed
by native rings and combines than we
have TO be robbed by foreign rings and
combines, and il we have discovered how
10 protect ourselves from enemies across
the sea, we should not be slow TO make
use OF that discovery TO protect ourselves

Itself % be most effective, III mas gwen
us new institutions and industrial growth
In spite Of foreign monopolists, who ney
or wished 10 see them and never would
have permitted them but for tho tariff
This remedy, then, should be employed
against the home monOpolIsts. Why
look elsewhere for a remedy when II is Ia
be used for a like abuse aud for a like
purpose that ii is used in the tariff and
proved 10 be a uccessP Especially why
should we object to this plan when every
other remedy which has ever been tried
against home mOnopolists has shown H.
self 30 be 80 futile that the people have
given up expecting ever 10 protect them
selves by the old regulation means.
Tax laws are not like penal provisions,
dependent for their enforcement upon
what Is looked upon as the meddlesome-
ness OF individuals, and unlikely to be
enforced under any circumstances where
Il is 10 the interest Of money to prevent
H. They are certain Of regular enforce
ment against those who attempt to stand
out against the consequences Of the law,
because the taxes must be regularly col
lected; and they are certain Of effective
enforcement, because the tax collector is
supported by the immediate authority Of
the government itself That Is why tax
laws are ehlcaci2us and will accomplish
what they are fixed to accomplish, and
why, as a panacea for the ills Of monop-
oily, they should be employed.
We understand the object Of taxing the
commodities Of foreigners It is to force
up the selling price at which the for
elgnors must dispose OF their Commodi-
ties in the American markets and thus
place them at such a disadvantage, rs
compared with our American capitalists,
that they cannot freeze them out, and
thereafter have everything their own way.
Employed against the home monopolists
the taxation would be with the same
view, namely, to force up the selling
price at which the said home monopolists
must dispose Of their products and thus
place them at such disadvantage rs re-
CARDS independent capitalists that they
cannot freeze them out and thereafter
plumber the people at will.
The tax against the foreigners obliges
them TO seek other markets upon which
TO practice their over-prohting schemes;
the tax against home monopollsts would
not cause them TO seek other markets, for
none could they find superior to the
home market, but it would oblige them
TO terminate their combines, and abandon
the ring system for the more upright,
fair and prospering system of competi-
tion.
We see, then, that 80 faras the principle
and operation is concerned there is no
difference between the cumulative meth
od and the tariff method. Both are a tax
directed against monopolists for the pur-
pose Of placing them at a disadvantage
with others whom we wish to protect and
keep from being crushed out.
There is some departure from the tariff
method in the laying of the cumulative
tax, but that effects only matter of de
tail aud does not alter the principle that
II is tax, and that II places the monopo-
list at disadvantage as compared with
those who have not TO pay Il. The de-

thing we can got access 70, as we do
when IL passes over our lines in being
imported.
We could employ the tax against our
home monopolists in the same way, that
is, levy a duty Of say 40 per cent ad valo-
EN- upon all articles that were the pro-
ducts Of trusts and combines, with a CON
dition attached that when the over-pro-
filters terminated their combinations the
tax would cease. Laid thus upon the
product this tax would prove eifectual,
but 1t would be just as eifectual If laid
upon the fixed capital or property from
which the product was derived, as upon
the land, the mining property or the
building and machinery Of the factory,
because, no difference where the tax was
laid, II would crop out in the price Of the
product upon the market.
Within the bounds af our own country,
however, we have access to every form Of
property, and can lay the tax whore we
please, II should be laid, therefore, upon
the fixed capital instead Of upon the issu-
ing product, for the following reasons:
TO lay il upon the product would involve
for it collection the establishment, at
great expense, Of a system Of customs
houses and customs officials similar to
what is required for the purposes Of the
tariff; whereas, il it is laid upon the fixed
capital II could be collected like ordinary
taxes are, free from extra expense More
over, to lay the tax upon the product
would permit railroads, telegraphs and
like monopoles, the products of which
are Of an intangible nature, to escape
having to pay, while tax upon capital
would catch all such institutions.
Besides being laid upon the fixed capi-
tai, this tax has engrafted upon it anOth-
er feature, which serves to more thor
oughly perfect IL for the Office IL is OK
pected to perform. That feature is the
graduating Of the tax so IL will bear
more lightly upon the lower values than
Il does upon the higher values. We
might, as n matter OF course, select out
the properties Of the monopolists aud
subject them to a higher rate per cent Of
taxation than we did Independent prop
critics, and in that way stop the practice
Of combining properties into trusts and
monopolies. But TO reach them with u
tax Of that character would involve the
necessity Of first determining which Of
the industries Of the country we're com
bined into monopolics, and the plan is
not to be approved when the desired OBJ
ieCt can be better accomplished by a pro.
cess of taxation which will not require
the sorting out from the other industries
those which are the monopoles.
The cumulative tax will do IL without
any such requirement. Its method Of
of application and form of arrangement
are such as to constitute it a preventive
Of the practice of monopolizlng without
It's being employed for that purpose
solely and only. Observe It's modls
OperGndi and it will be readily perceived
that this is the case. Its method of ap-
application is as follows: Tax as single
and indiwsible quantities every body Of
land, or numbers Of bodies Of land owned
or controlled by the same individual or
company of individuals; every store or
