THE TWO SYSTEMS COrlPARED.

1--WE do not conceal the purpose
Of this bill" said Mr. MCKINLEY,
in opening the debate upon the
revenue bill which now bears his
name" we want our own country
men and all mankind to know it.
1t is 20 increase production here,
diversity our productive enter
prises, enlarge the field, and
increase the demand for American
workmen. What American can
oppose these worthy and patriotic
objects? We are not legislating
Tor any nation but our own; for
our people and for no other people
are we charged with the duties of
legislation. We say to our foreign
brethren: eve will not interfere in
your domestic legislation; we
admonish you to keep your hands
off ours Loud applause on the
Republican side.)
There is no question which SO
deeply effects the welfare Of the
American people as the question
of finance and taxation.
With the finances Of the country
on sound basis, and the people
freed from anxiety as to the value
of their circulating medium one Of
the largest elements of prosperity
is assured.
The expenses Of carrying on
this Government bid fair in the
future to average five hundred
millions Of dollars a year. If the
lcvying Of imposts and taxes
necessary to produce this enor-
NOUS amount of revenue is
so adjusted as to bear equally upon
all sections of the country, in
cidentally sustaining the manu-
features we now have, and
stimulating the starting of new
enterprises the entire problem o.
prosperity is solved. The country
will prosper and the burden OF
national taxation will not be felt
We speak assuredly of the future
in the light of the past.
Now, there are two systems
presented to the American people
for the raising Of national revenue
Either system will raise sufficient
funds to meet the wants of The
government. Each system /:
advocated by a great political
party-and these parties are very
evenly balanced. In 1883 twenty
States and five and half million
voters sustained the Republican
party-IS states and about thu
same number of voters sustained
the Democratic party But while
there was diversity in the Northern
states there was a solid, unanimou
agreement in the Southern. Tha
vote which was free and un
tramelled in the North was silence,
in the South. A full million {
voters were DISTINGUISHED
Four years ago there was
Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives, and its Ways an
Means Committee presented to tn
country its system of raisin
revenue. 1t was the first complet
Democratic measure presented
thirty years, and was known q
the Mills bill. In 1890, two year
later; Republican House throug
its same. COMMITTEES formulated il
system under what is known q
the Mckinley bill, 1t will /

systems in several. of their detail

Undoubtedly, as Gov. Peck says,
he finds the job of governing
Wisconsin "a nice and easy one"
but wouldn't he find it laborious
and irksome as compared with
chairman Walls job Of governing
Gov. Peck?

There is really no excuse for a
third political party in Wisconsin.
If any number of voters want
anything they do not see, all that
is necessary is for them to ask and
the democrats will promise it to
them, which is all that Robert
Schllling has ever done thus far,
Notwithstanding that he has
started a new party in nearly
every campaign year.

Democratic managers and Republican
leaders. who were "onto" the scheme) failed
TO materlalize for the reason that the
Democrats who had ostentatiously gone
into the Alliance, and boosted of their in
tention to vote the Weaver ticket. were
most conspicuous by their absence from
the rally. The rally resulted in but one
thing. 1t showed to the Republicans
who had been induced to JOIN the
Alliance by the representations of Demo-
cratic workers, where they were at" 1t
was q rude awakening. but will result in
much good to the Republican party in the
county. as many who have been led to be-
Iieve that Democrats who were working
the scheme really meant to vote for Weaver
now see the deception which has been prao-
ticed. The Democrats here have paid no at
tentlon to the issues In this campaign but
have turned their entire attention TO getting
Republicans to join the Alliance In the hope
of getting them to vote for Weaver and In
maligning the county officials. The animus
of certain high-fying Democrats, who
have been forced TO pay taxes by the vigil
ance of the present officials is shown in
the attack made on the auditor, commits
sioners. and other county officers generally.
