Two Examples.

Two Of the communistio schemes for tho
transformation OF society are in bad straits
Just now. They are not working IN their
practical application 30 beautifully as they
ran In the Imagination Of the inventor.
The General Land ONCE at Washington
has discovered that tho lands occupied by
the Bellamist Kawcah colony In California
arc included within Government reserva-
tion, and that accordingly the large amount
of money spent in their improvement b.
the colonists will have to be forfeited. The
Bellamist Cooperative Housekeeping Asso.
citation at Evanston, n suburb OF Chicago
was compelled tn go into bankruptcy last
Monday. 1t could not pay its bills, the BEL
LAMY prices for food being too low TO bring
In money enough from tho small number of
people who had faith In the BELLAMY de-
vice for ovcrturning the accepted order OF
the universe.
1t Is truc that tho misfortune TO the
Kawcah colony resulted only from bad
judgment in selecting its site. Tho enter
prise has not yet fallen to pieces from in-
ternal discussions growing out Of the
operation Of the law that sooner or later
property gets back into individual hands
with the sagacity to acquire II. the skill to
manage 1t. and the ability to hold on to
it. But even the caution and good judg-
ment that do not throw away money In i'm
proving Government lands as II they were
private property, are requisite to practical
success. II everybody was sagacious in
business. everybody would be rich. In
happily for mankind, perhaps such sagacity
is rare and therefore only the few are rich.
The cooperative housekeeping experi-
ment at Evanston was entirely unneces-
sary. 1t was sort Of restaurant; but
every restaurant Is Of the nature Of CO.
operative concern. Its customers must CO.
operate in patronizing it to make 1t sue
ccssful and to enable II to sell cheap II
they are not many, it cannot supply good
food, except at high prices, whether 1t is
run on Bellamistic principles or In the usual
| way. If DELMoSIco's, for instance, had as
customers only the l40 men. women and

Discriminating Against "thc Rich"

Tho Hon. JAMES DANIEL RICHARDSON. a
Democratic member OF Congress for the
Fifth Tennessee district. seems to be fol-
lower OF the Corsicana school OF political
economy. His bill "equalizing" taxation
and imposing an income tax Is such fine
piece OF demagogy in its prologue and its
provisions that knowledge OF it ought not to
bo confined to the Committee on Ways and
Means. Here is the preamble intended to
Impress Coffee county and other portions OF
Tennessee blessed by being represented in
Congress by such JAMES DANIEL come to
judgment:
"Wnereas Tho country is suffering under the bur
dsns Of unjust and unequal tax laws tho consumers OF
all kinds being forced to contribute more largely to tho
support of Government than those who own its wealth;
and
Where1s Such discrimination In favor Of the rich
- against the poor by system Of taxation naugurated
In time OF and now Kept up In tho Interest OF pure
monopoly and favored class is unwarranted bv tho
demands Of tho Government for lawful purposes and
..Whereas, Such discrimination is contrary to tho
genius Of our institutions and destructive Of love and
Devotion those institutions the part OF the people
Now tho end that the taxation upon the necessares
OF lfs shall be reduced. and the burden moro justly
and equally imposed and capital and wealth required
to bear thsir proportionate share OF tho Govern.
ment--"
Whereas so many whereases have been
piled UP by the Hon. JAMES DANIEL RICH
ARDsoN. and whereas no says that there has
been discrimination against "the poor" F"
let there be discrimination against 1.-THE
rich" beginning with those who earn $4,000
q year; and let that discrimination take the
form OF an income tax 10 be laid in manner
and form following:
EVERY railroad. telegraph. telephone sleeping car.
mining. manufacturing. other company corpora
ton residing or domiced In tho United States and
every citizen OF tho United States reading abroad
esivinz annual income of SAoOO year and upward
derived from any source whatsver. aha bo assessed
and required to pay income tax foowa the same to
be collected by the collectors OF internal revenue and
paid annually into tho Treasury Of the United States
wit: On $3UOo up to 5000 per centum OF said in.
come; 5000 to $1,000 per centum Of said income;
$1,000 $4,000 10 per centum Of said income; $4,000

OF the little profit contributed by each OF

greg;,tc to bo divided among few partners.
Divide 1t among tho customers. and tho
amount received by each would be trining.
They already got the practical advantages
Of cooperation III prices which the opera
ton OF tho law OF trade reduces to the lowest
point, and they themselves contribute to the
result by their purchases.
This Is moro especially tho caee In this
country rs compared with England. In
England cooperative stores have been sue
cess:u because long credits to customers In
the retail trade required tho cash buyer to
pay FOR the laxness or default OF those thus
trusted. Moreover, tho price charged for an
article was not unvnrying, as 1t IL In tho
cooperative stores. Here the trade itself hns
followed the principle Of cooperation by
adopting the cash system, or what amounts
to 1t practically. by attracting large busi-
nese with the lowest possible prices, and by
making the prices invariable. Henoo coop-
erative stores have not boon successful in
this country. The advantages secured by
them in England have been obtained by our
people through the wiser course of the
American merchants themselves. They can
not compete with the regular trade. II they
could. we should have them in New York on
scale commensurate with their Importance
in London.
Society does not need to resort to any
BELLAMY quackery to improve its condi-
tion. In tho course Of tho natural opera
tion OF the laws Of its growth 1t will become
better for everybody. The rich cannot get
rich without improving the general condi-
tion OF the poor. The ranks Of the rich
themselves are oil the time recruited from
the poor. The number OF rich men In New
York who were not poor generation ago Is
small; and it will be the same proportion
ately a generation hence. The new rich will
always be the many and the old rich the few;
and poverty will diminish as tho average OF
wealth increases.
