TOO HONEST sY HALF

The Democrats Of Ohio propose an in
come tax which the New York Sun,
protsctioniet and capitalist Jay
Goulded journal, says is "a tariff on hon
esty and premium on perjury The
Sun claims, too, that it is class legisla
tion, in that It reaches ouly a compare
lively small number Of the people
The Sun points out that the war tax
imposed on incomes in 1862. when the
country had about 3s, 600, 600 Of people,
reached only one person in every one
hundred and thirty, ard out Of about
s. 600, 600 voters II. was applied to only one
in thirty. Those arguments constitute
insuperable objections in the minds Of
protectionist to an income tax.
So far as dishonesty is concerned how
could tax provoke more dishonesty or
cover more fraud than the tariff tax

The qulnine industry has been growing
and increasing wonderfully since the
blood tax was removed Il furnishes an
object lesson 10 prove that all Of the
protectionism theories are exaggerated or
false. There are more factories greater
product, better quality and a cheaper
price under free trade than under tariff
tax. Quinine sold for $5 an ounce under
the protectionism robbery; II sells new
for 80 cents an ounce under free trade.
Notwithstanding these facts that
noble promoter Of American industry,
Quay that piously weeping champion OF
underpaid labor, Wanamaker, advocated a
renewal Of the tax on quinine. They did
not get It restored because the facts con
serning quinine are so notorious thai
they dared not urge It openly.

his wife to meet him at the wharf fifteen
minutes later. The wife got there FIVE

RAUM is "a dandy" for sure. he has
now determined to pass pensions with
out examination. That will be a much
quicker and more effective method than
that Of selecting the claims advocated by
Lemon and other favorite attorneys and
rushing them through. BY rushing the
whole lot through indisciiminately
without delay and without examination,
he will make friends with every
body. The "old soldiers,
bless their noble, money loving, patriotic
hearts, will be delighted, the pension
agents who are already friendly and who
lend Commissioner Raum money and sub
scribe for refrigerator stock, will be more
friendly and subscribe for more stock,
Those who are not friendly will quickly
become intensely friendly. It is a great
scheme, and II 1t works properly Raum
will defy the President to dislodge him.
