for a protective tariff of any kind

considering the plan of an eminent
member of his party to propagate cpl
denies during the civil war, Mr.. Har-
ter's preferences are not surprising, and
we regret to say that he will find if he
studies the instance, that even such a
philanthropic scheme as that was not
wholly free from class consideration, for
it was only the Union armies and North
ern cities that were to be infected. Mr..
Harter would now deluge the country
with the goods, infected or otherwise, of
all the sweat shops in the world"

Senator Hills refusal to accept the
unearned senatorial salary accruing dur
ing his occupancy of the gubernatorial
chair at Albany was unquestionably a
shrewd move. 1t unexpectedly met the
criticisms of those hostile journals who
had rather vauntingly feared he was
growing plutocratic. But it is worthy
of careful notice that he exercised
praisewOrthy thrift in deciding which
salary not TO take. He did not, for eX-
ample, accept the fraction of a $500
annual salary as senator and put calmly
aside the fraction of his $4,000 annual
salary as governor. To quote one of
Editor Dana's faVorite stories, he was
like the little boy to whom had been
given two sums Of money, one for him
self and one for Sunday school. He lost
one sum, the smaller one, and when
asked which sumit was replied: 30,
that was my Sunday school money"

Lncas. may some day regret their in

friends from the east side of the river

the nomination is greatly tobis credit
as a candidate rather than a detriment.
1t is fortunate that the Hills possessed

No little confusion exists ia the pop.
ular mind as to what wealth is. Money
is popularity looked upon as wealth he
aus with money we are enabled to
procure all the good things for our
material welfare. But all money is
not wealth. Gold and silver are wealth
whether they exist as coin ora az bullion.
The amount of wealth contained in IA
car load of paper is comparatively I'M
important when compared with the
amount of wealth contained in a like
amount of gold or silver. And vet
there are many who think that paper
money. which is nothing but an evil
dence of Indebtedness, is wealth. Now
the amount of paper money that it is
safe for a nation TO issue shonld neve
exceed one third of the amount IF coin
circulating in the country. Paper
money a only retain its face value
so long as it may at any time be con-
verified into coin. I%nconvcrtlble paper
money has always proved liza. mful to
the nation so unfortunate as to adopt
it. Yet there Il many who think
that the only thing necessary to infuse
new life and en-, y into every depart
ment of industry, is Ivy setting the
printing presses of the nation in mo-
tion and striking eff a practically un-
limited amount of paper money. If
all the printing presses in the world
were engaged for the next thousand
years IN printing money for the United
States not one iota could they add TO
the wealth of this country Nor would
the burdens of life he made lighter.
The man who deals in green goods"
has SET about increasing the amount Of
money IN circulation. III the prosper
lily of the country depends SOLELY upon
the amount of money in circulation. il
our prosperity and material happiness
increase in direct proportion to the
amount of money in circulation. it
would seem that the handler of green
goods is doing a good thing for the
people. And yet we have not heard Of
anybody proposing to abolish the pun
ishment for counterfeiting. Yet ac-
cordins to the notions that some SEEM
to have in regard to the currency. the
counterfeiter is by all odds the most
philanthropic man in the whole com
munity.

Since the representatives Of a great

Since the representatives of a great
party at a national convention have
seen fit to adopt into thei. platform a
de.nand for a graduated income tax, it
may not be amlsS to inquire into The
justice Of any such measure. In the
beginning it may he said that our
present system Of taxation is yet far
from ideal perfection and it is not IN
tended to defend every feature of it.
But admitting that many improve
ments might he made in our methods
of taxation it by no means follows that
a graduated income tax Is a panacea
for the unjust burdens of taxation. AS
we understand it, a graduated income
tax is Il tax that bears upon "A man the
more heavily the larger his income
may be. Under it a man with an in
come of $500 would pay a small per-
centage of taxation while a mar with
al income of $4,000 a year wonld pay 9
high rate of percentage. This looks
like putting a tax upon industry, like
filming a maj fov acquiring property.
According 10 the plan of Il graduated
lt!'pItt 'dN. thc tidh WuO Sv~udtiucIttt
his earnings would not he compelled
to bear any Of the burdens of governs
ment. while the man who was indus
trious and frugal and thereby succeed
ei in beneitting himself and the COM
mnnity, would he called upon TO bear
all the burdens of a government from
which he received no more benefits
than did his shlftless and lew neigh
hor. Is that right? Will freeman
Knowles. the talented independent en-
ponent of Deadwood. kindly volunteer
to show wherein the graduated income
tax possesses a single element of right
OF justice? Industry, economy and
energy are traits desirable in a man.
The man who possesses them should be
encouraged rather than fined. AT
least he should not be taxed simply and
solely because he has the ability to
acquire property. 1t is a mistaken
notion for people to look upon a man
who owns a little property as a legiti-
mate subject for plumber.

being popular at home, are mostly we'll
