The Democratic State Platform

In this issue we publish the plat
form of the Ohio Democracy.
The principles declared are
sound in sense and Democratic to
the core. 1t is repetition of the
principles advanced by Jefferson
sustained by Jackson and every
Democratic leader down to the
present time. The Republicans
stand in silence before it. There
are no weak places to attack. The
platform is broad enough and sound
enough for all good citizens to
stand on, and under the leader
ship of Campbell will bring us the
victory.

SILVER GYMNASTICS.

for money as a circulating med,

he made a speech at Toledo de
nouncing with much severity

the opposition to free coinage. In
the Millersburg letter. to catch
the votes of Democratic farmers
in that GIbralter of The faith. Mr.
Mckinley put himself on the
OHIO Democratic platform on sill
yer. He declared he "would
honor gold and silver alike" !"
That is exactly the position of
the Ohio Democrats. To honor
the two met ais alike they must
be treated alike. Ii is not giving
them equal honor 10 coin free all
the gold that is offered at the
mints for that purpose and shut
out silver. 1t is not putting them
on an equality of honor to call
the statutory gold dollar an "hon-
est dollar" and stigmatize the
statutory silver dollar as dis
honest dollar" as the Mckinley
organs are doing.
When Mac appears before the
farmers on the keen hunt for
their votes he declares for the
coinage quality of gold and sill

Wall st. for campaign subscript-
ions he paxes indlnant over the
"buzzard dollar" He is only
consistant in one thing. and that
is for tariff laxaiion in the inter

The Graduated Income Tax.

we nave been inquired OF by
q number of our readers what the
tax on incomes means, as favored
by the Democratic platform. The
republican press argue that it is
an outrage. That it is tax upon
thrift, upon economy. That the
man who works and worries and
makes and saves money is to be
taxed upon his income while his
neighbor, with equal opportunity
has no income and is not taxed.
The argument of the Republicans
is that tax is put upon industry
intelligence and economy, whilst
by not taxing the man with equal
opportunities who has no income
to tax, a premium is offered to
laziness.
This is the position of the op-
position to the Democratic plan.
Let us consider the situation
that confronts us.
Here are two men A. and B.
each worth $25, 900; A. has his
money in land, stock or mer-
chandise. He is taxed on all he
possesses. He will pay in tax on
his property possessions not less
than $500 year; now his income
say, is at the very highest $4,000
per year. A tax on this income
at one half of one per cent would
be $40. His total tax then is
$5.lO
Now his neighbor B. has his
$4,000 invested in government
bonds. On these bonds there is
no tax. Bondholder B. has per-
haps horse and buggy, some
household goods which are tax
able. Taking off the exemption
he possibly may have $4,000
worth of taxable property which
at per cent would amount to 81.
His income from his bonds is, to
say the least 81, 900 year, upon
which he pays nothing.
Here we come down to the is
sue. The farmer, the merchant,
the manufacturer, pay taxes on
all they possess. The bondhold-
er pays only on his household
goods.
The bondholder has all the ad-
vantages of schools, roads and ad-
juncts of civilization, paying i'll
effect nothing. He pays 81 a
year and the farmer, manufacture
er and merchant pay $500.
Now why not tax his income.
At one half per cent it would be
only $50, and with no more favors
from the government the indus
trial and mercantile interest pay
$500.
A graded tax on incomes is. JUS

The Bush-street Theater reopened It's
doors last evening after its brief closure, the
attraction being Mr.. J. r. Grsmer and Miss
Phoebe Davies, supported by their own
company, in Mr.. William Haworth's com
edy-drama, "FerncIif," work new to our
public, The story is based on events con-
nected with the civil war. It is not a strong
play, aud the materials from which it is
manufactured have been pretty freely
worked over by other dramatists. There
are, however, some opportunities for
strong acting, which were taken fair
advantage OF by the members OF Mr.
Grismer's company. Miss Phoebe Davies
has had better parts than Annie Hewins,
hut she got all there was out of it, Mr.
GTismer appeared as the hero, Tom Hewins,
but he was only moderately successful, his
lack Of natural feeling placing him at a dis
advantage in the sympathetic passages.
Mr.. Scott Cooper was equal to the require
ments Of Dad Hewins, and Mr.. Arthur
Livingston made quite hit in the comedy
role of Harry. There were a couple of
cleverly played child parts that are deserv-
ing of mention. "Fernciiff" will be the bill
for the remainder of the week.

WITHOUT EFFECT.
John III. Church Fires Three
Shots at His Fifth Wife.

John 81. Church. the Oaklander who is
noted for having had five wives, fired three
shots, without effect, at the fifth in the
Bourbon House at Mason street, about
S:45 o'clock last evening.
She came 10 the Bourbon House on Wednes-
day evening and appealed 10 the landlady
for protection. Her husband, she stated,
had threatened her life aud she was afraid
he would kill her.
The landlady, the second Mrs. Church.
had lived with Church for eighteen months,
and says that she sympathised with her sue
cessor and accordingly allowed her to stay
with her On Sunday night Church called
at the Bourbon and asked to see his wife.
The interview was granted and a friendly
conversation took place, the two apparently
parting on good terms. Last night Church
called again. The landlady told him that
his wife had gone TO the dress maker's, but
Church insisted Oh seeing her and at length
he went upstairs to his wife's room and
waited.
Shortly after Mrs. Church No. returned.
and the landlady informed her that her hus
Dand was upstairs, and asked whether she
wished 10 see him. Mrs. Church hesitated
Tor few minutes, and then. deciding to see
MIN, went upstairs, accompanied by two of
me inmates OF the house-Miss Brown and
Miss Wilson.
She had scarcely entered the room when
Church drew revolver and fired three
shots IN rapid succession. Mrs. Church
rushed from the room and hid in the yard.
Officer James w. Farrell who was called in
by the landlady, arrested Church and con-
yeyed him to the City Prison, where he was
booked on charge of assault to murder.
Mrs. Church refused to say more when
questioned than that she thought her hus-
band merely wished TO brighten her.

CLERICAL TOPICS,
The Micr0nesian Islands Mis-.

paper by the Rev. John Kimball on the
state of affairs in the Micronesian Islands.

The Ellis case was again before the pres

After long discussion it was resolved that
the case as presented against DIR. Ellis

cited to appear before the synod at its meet

met with considerable opposition, rescinded
the action of the presbytery in suspendina

Striking Fishermen Invoke the Law.
Butchers Barbecue.

Captain Henry Bingham was, Ii ght
hearted and cheerful yesterday. He had
all the men he wanted more than he
wanted, on the Pacific Mail Dock to take
the places of the union SteyedoreS who
struck on Saturday. Knots of strikers
gathered round the entrance to the dock all
day, but they saw little of the men who had
taken their places, and demonstrations Of
hostility were infrequent
At the Oregon Dock the Superintendent
reported that he had 40 men at work. He
said that he obtained them without diff
Guilty, but that he had some trouble in OBJ
tanning food for them. He took them at
noon to a restaurant on East street, but the
proprietor said that lie was not doing bust
ness for the benefit of non-union men, and
lie refused to give them food. They re-
turned to the dock and were supplied with
provisions from grocery. Bunks have
been provided for them on the vessels at the
wharf. and they will remain on board them
until the trouble is over.
AT the Broadway Dock little was done
during the morning. and the strikers de-
clared that they had tied up the place COM
pletely. but as the day passed several candi-
dates Tor the positions left vacant appeared
and were accepted, though the long lines OF
heavily loaded wagons that blocked the
streets leading TO the wharf until late hour
IN the evening indicated that all the hands
that were needed had not been obtained
About O'clock a tug load of men from the
Pacific Mail Dock arrived and went TO work
loading the Walla Walla, scheduled to leave
to-day.
At the Oceanic Dock non-union men have
always been employed, and there was no
attempt made until after the men quit work
in the evening to induce them 10 strike.
The attempt failed. but will be renewed at
frequent intervals while the strike lasts.
The union men are confident that if they
win the Oceanics non-uni0n men will de-
mand the increase of wages which they have
asked for.

Sullivan contest will take place on the 2Sth
inst, after the finish bouts of the late tour

was discussion relative TO the levy OF an
