Evils of Indirect Taxation.

Thomas G.. Shearman, who pos.
sesses a worldwide reputation as a
writer on economic questions, in
the course of an interesting article
IN the Forum predicts that in the
United States the man worth a
billion OF dollars is probability
OF the near future. Mr.. Shear
man says: "The Millionaire will
not be the result OF any inevitable
natural law. He will be simply
the product of indirect taxation
Maintain that system and he will
surely come, and that right speed
lily. Abolish 1t and he can never
come at all. No elaborate calcu-
lations are necessary to make this
plain, although the correctness Of
the assertion has been tested by
such calculations over and over
again. Every indirect tax distrib-
utes itself among the people in
proportion to the cost of their sup
port. In other words, it taxes
them upon what they spend, not
upon what they have. The vast
majority of any community must
always have incomes 80 small that
they cannot help spending three
fourths of what they receive, But
the small minority of large prop.
erty holders need not to spend
one-tenth of their incomes; and as
a rule they do not spend one-half.
Looking at the subject with refer
ence to accumulated wealth, the
man who is worth $1,000 usunlIy
spends at least $500 n year on the
support of his family, while the
man who is worth ST. 100000 rarely
spends $4,000. Indirect taxation,
therefore, obviously bears at least
ten times as heavily upon the for
mer as upon the latter Under
absolutely direct taxation no poor
man would ever pay larger share
than rich man, and, indeed, most
of the working classes would pay
no taxes at all, because the collec-
tion of direct taxes from them
would be too laborious and expen-
sive to be maintained"

Catron did his best to emasculate
the school bill and delay its pas
sage. Ten amendments were
offered for that purpose by Catron
and Perea, and Jaramillo and
Santistevan voted with them, but
they failed. This was but repe-
tition of Catron's game to defeat
the Kistler bill two years ago. 1t
succeeded then, but the game OF
how not to do 1t had been played
once too often, and failed this
time. Headlight.

THE Encouragement rules that a
white sheriff carrying negro prisoner
to the penitentiary may ride in the ne
groes' compartment of the car. We
call the attention of the Waco Day to
this rank violation of the law, which
clearly says that no white man shall
ride in that part of the car partitioned
off for the use of negroes. The law
also prohibits a negro from riding in
the white peoples car. Now, it is
plain that If the white sheriff rides
with his negro prisoner in the negro
car, he is violating the law, and it is
just as plain that if he takes his negro
prisoner in the whites car, the negro
is doing an unlawful act. The only
thing we can see that is to be done is
to have a negro deputy sheriff APP
pointed, or ship the prisoner as freight,
or transport him by ox-wagon. The
letter of the law must be preserved.
The Day will please turn the crank of
its expounding machine.

THE late Senator Joseph E. Melon
aid of Indiana, whose death is just an
nounced, was man whose opinions
were so positive that popular crazes
had no effect in swaying him in his
thought or action. At time when In
diana was the hot-bed of the greenback
blaze, when Hendricks and Voorhees,
and all the other Democratic leaders,
except, perhaps, William E. English,
were carried away by the popular
clamor for a greenback currency, Nc
Donald took his stand for hard money,
and maintained himself in that position
against a united party. When the po-
litical revolution of 1874 came that
elected the first Democratic congress
since the war began, the Democrats
carried the Indiana legislature. A
United States senator was to be chosen.
Such was the force and commanding
personality of Mcdonald that he was
elected, despite the fact that there was
hardly one Of those who vote for him
but who differed with him as to the
financial question. He was honest, able,
and Democrat, and they honored

outcome OF the international investi-
CATION, and the press demands that the
investigation shall be thorough. If
the Galveston News is proven guilty OF
wrong-doing, the press will not con-
done; if the News is proven innocent,
the press will rejoice.
It is to be regretted that the attitude
of the News since the publication of
the charge against it has been one of
denial that it had contracted for adver-
Using railroads with any pool, traffic
association or other central authority.
The News has maintained that its con-
tracts were with the roads separately,
but now, in this Investigation, it trans
pires that at New Orleans the Interna-
tional association voted to advertise in
the News, and all members Of it were
assessed pre- rata sum to meet the de-
mand Of the resolution for $1,000 a
month.
If the News did not regard contract
with central authority as illegitimate,
why did the News SO long maintain
that it had dealt with the roads inde-
And if such contract was
why did the News enter
into it?

The national-bank system was ere
ated to make a market for United
States bonds and served its purpose
well. Silver was demonetized to in
crease the value of gold and United
States bonds. Bonds and gold are, way
up in price and everything else dull
and deprecated. There will be more
equitable and elastic financial system
or great depression, and, perhaps. revo-
luton. The politician who thinks he
can keep the minds of the people off
of this financial question or the Demo-
cratic party lodging the issue, should
have an artesian bath and taste of
private life. The South is not going
out of the Democratic party, but may
change many congressional representa-
tives. The Democratic party stands
for more circulating medium, or it
stands for nothing, in the light of its
national platforms.

DURING the regular meeting of the
Baptist ministers in chapel hall, Bos-
ton, last Monday, Rev. J. B. Stoddard
addressed the conference, at its sugges-
ton, upon the influence of secret socie-
ties upon churches, and in the course of
his remarks strongly denounced Ma
sonry, declaring that when a man
swears allegiance to it he swears ale
glance to code antagonistic to God.
The Rev. j. B. Stoddard is an ass for
discussing matters concerning which
he has demonstrated himself to be ut
terly ignorant.

To FORT WORTH: Now is the time
to act; this is the opportunity that
comes not often. Fort Worth has
passed through the panic with as little
disaster as any town in the Union and
with much less than many others.
Now, while others rest inactive, Fort
Worth should move. Strengthen the
Chamber of Commerce. Join the
Chamber, meet and discuss ways and
means for pushing the town ahead. In
such consultation leadership will be
developed and concert of action pro-
noted. Fort Worth lacks leadership
and unity. Join the Chamber and
make it the nucleus for movement
such as Fort Worth never experienced.
1t can be done if only our own people
resolve on it.

The wheat crop is beginning to move.
and it will be but few weeks until the
circulation of the money paid out will
stimulate trade in oil lines A conservative
estimate of the wheat crop tributary 10
Fort Worth is 12,00O, 600 bushels. That of
bushels The 100000 bushels will
bring in $4,000, 900, possibly more. The
country along the Fort Worth and
Denver, the Texas and Pacific, and the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande will absorb
this money, and Fort Worth's business
will legitimately get considerable portion
of it. The crops of Texas, now in sight,
will bring sll7, 100000 into Texas this
year, and this does not count the hogs,
the sheep and wool, the fruits, melons
and vegetables. Texas will earn by the
labor Of her people and the graciousness
of God, more dolla:s per capita than any
state in the Union in the year 1891. There
are 1885, 900 people, men, women chill
dren and babies, who will get this SllI,-
900 600; or each individual viii have as
his proportion of this wealth over
$50 nearly twice as much as the
circulation per capita of the
United States, and this is
only for portion of the products of the
earth. Who can doubt the future of Texas
or of Fort Worth as the principal city OF

The banks here are already sending out
currency to pay for wheat, and several
million dollars of outside money will soon
come here and stay here to buy what we
have to sell.

THERE will be a campaign of educa-
ton within the Democratic party in
Texas, and no combination can stop it.
When would-be politicians go out to
sing a song, some old Democrat, in
every meeting, will rise up and ask
him what he is in favor of. Young
men will come to the front in every
country precinct, with a knowledge of
pending political issues, and copy of
the national platform-he will worry
the tenderfoot who expects to get off
with tariff speech only. The people
know that they are face to face with
the financial issue, and know what is in
the national Democratic platform, and
the men who try to hoodwink them
had better saw wood and say nothing.
Democracy is not idiocy.
