issue Of tariff for revenue when it is ap-
parent that such a tariff under present
conditions would be burden too griev-
GUS to be borne with the single gold
basis as the money to pay 1t with. The
tariff barons make the fight on the lines
Of markets. They say we must give to
the home manufacturer the monopoly Of
this, the home market, but the laws that
give the tariff baron the monopoly of the
home markets also shut In the farmer
and confne him to the home market.
Unlike the tariff barons the farmer can
not regulate production to the necessi-,
ties of the home market; he must pro-
duce, and does produce, an immense
surplus the home market will not take,
hence, the farmer must put on his war
paint and go to battle, and his battle cry
must be more money, and the markets of
the world in which to exchange his sur
plus products he does not need for the
surplus of other countries that he needs
and they do not. He must break down
all toll gates on the way, at least all such
as impose unjust burdens upon his right
to market the products of his toll.
I said before that I would suggest
remedy; 1 have in part done SO, but to be
more explicit, will say, let congress
abolish all tariff and revenue laws, give
US absolute free trade with all the nations
of the earth, raise the money to defray
the expenditures of the government by
graduated income tax, pass the Otis land
loan bill, and free and unlimited coinage
Of silver. Increase the circulating me-
dlum to at least $4,000 per capita, then,
and not till then, in my opinion, will we
get rid of unjust taxation.

abroad for our surplus for export Is
practically fixed in the foreign market,
therefore the more gold those countries
have the higher will be the price for our
exports. The more we drain those coun-
tries Of their gold the lower the price will
be Of all our exports to those countries.
Thus it is that our tariff laws, prevent
ing as they do, the exchange Of one COM
modify for another, make a football of
gold to be played with by the gold bugs
and tariff barons.
So long as our policy is to collect q
greater part of the revenue to the sup
port of the government by tariff tax, no
matter what theory we 60 upon, our pro-
ducerS of articles for export will be
called upon to bear the brunt Of this un-
just taxation. The expenditures even
during. the administration of the Democ
rscy were about SsOO,OOO,OOO for each
congress. At that time we had but 1885,,
100000 Of pensions to pay annually. The
expenditures of the last congress (Re-
publican) were over $1,0O00OO,00O. Now
we have an estimate for pensions for this
year of $16O,OOO,OOO; no party seems dis
posed to do anything more with pensions
than to increase them from year to year.
Our pension expenditures alone will In a
short period amount to $2O0,OO0,OO0 an
nuslly; this pension expenditure saddled
on thetax payers is equal to 3 per cent
capitalized debt of over $5,0OO,0O0,O00
II congress imposes tariff taxes sufficient
to pay the annual pension appropriation
alone, 1t will be grlevous burden upon
our export trade. Should the Peoples
party land you will pardon me for saying
the Peoples party) treat the tariff ques-
ton as a question for markets for the
farmer, and demand the tearing down of
the tariff walls, revenue or no revenue,
and demand that an income tax should
be imposedlto supplement tariff taxes,we
would have q battle worth fighting, but
il we insist that the principal part of our
expenditures must be paid by tariff taxes,
we present no issue that will meet with
any overwhelming enthusiasm. The
farmers Of the country must fight their
way out to the markets Of the world for
their surplus, even if In doing so they de-
molish the last custom house in the land.
This Is one Of the ways to meet 1t, this
will necessitate some other mode Of tax
alton; In part at least. l know none other
more just than a graduated income tax.
I do not wish particularly to inject into
this paper a discussion of the money

UNJUST TAXATION.

government itself, in whatever form,
whether human or divine, government
has been established on the earth, and
vet il is as fresh and as full Of interest
to-day TO the laboring masses Of mankind
as ever at any former period Of the
worlds history. Conflicts Of opinion
arise, debates ensue, and controversies
rage now as they have from the tithing
and taxing days Of Israel down TO the
present time. On the one hand govern
ment has a paramount right to the sup
port Of It's citizens as long as 1t does not
transcend its rightful power nor oppresS
them with extortlOns beyond Its legltl-
mate requirements, while on the other
hand the very laws Of nature, those su
preme and lndestructible principles on
which rests the natural rights Of man,
keep the people imbued with perpetual
vigilance against the needless exactiOns
and lawless greed Of those in power.
Nothing more important in popular es-
timatlon, nor more caluclated to produce
public agitation, and indeed revolution,
can be conceived than such an Issue
when persisted in, with the exception,
perhaps, Of an actual invasion Of the lib
critics and lives Of the people by an
armed power. At the very foundation Of
the American revolution will be found
the question Of unjust taxation. Our
forefathers dismembered the British
kingdom, then the foremost power In the
world, rather than submit to oppres-
sive or unjust taxation. And In the con-
stitutlon they framed for their great and
triumphant independence, the powers Of
the government in taking the earnings Of
the people in order to defray public ex-
penses were clearly defined and scrupu-
lously guarded. The idea that more
money might, could or ever should be
taken from the pockets Of the American
people by taxation and placed In the
treasury Of the government than was ab
solutely necessary to deirsy the actual
expenses Of the government, economi
cally administered, had no existence in
the early days Of the republic, and no
place in the thoughts or purposes of it's
immortal founders.
Money withdrawn by the hand Of the
tax gatherer, whether acting directly or
indirectly; whether acting wisely un-
wisely; money thus taken from the
business transactions of the country, from
the active channels Of trade, and laid
away In government vaults, useless
and dead, Is a spectacle belong
ing to modern methods and modern
parties. To contract the volume Of cur
rency In circulation to make money
scarceamong the people, and consequently
hard to obtain even In exchange for low
priced labor, deprecated property, or
high rate Of interest, has always been a
tinanial policy marked by disaster and
suffering, and aocursed by every friend
Of the general welfare Of his country
men.
Unjust taxation! Unjust taxation, Mr..
President, is q crime against every home,

of industry, must experience the stsgna
tion and hardShipS produced by drsinsg'
so unjust, so criminal, so unnatural, and q
Inconsistent with the life and prosperity
Of all the labor interests Of the country.
To more fully explain what / mean bj
unjust taxation, l will make an illustrs
tion, and then suggest o remedy. In tht
first place, / will say / have read with
considerable interest articles and edl
torialS on the tariff and the gold preml
um. The contention Of the articles and
editorials is that the tariff laws pFacti
cally compel US to exchange our commo.
dities for gold in foreign cOuntriss,in instead
Of exchanging our commodities for the
commodities Of those countries; that in
that way we are cheated out Of the differ
ence that the gold brings In foreign
countries and what gold will buy here,
the difference being the amount we are
taxed by our tariff laws.
This seems to me very clear state
ment Of the situation. Now as to the
illustration.
Now, Mr.. President, you will please
pardon me for taking the farmer as my
subject for illustration:
If q farmer take bushsl Of wheat TO
Liverpool and exchanges 1t for a hat, the
only function money performs In such a
transaction ls to measure the relative
value Of the commodities thus exchanged.
A bushel Of wheat worth 81 there could
be exchanged for hat worth 81 In the
same market. II our custom laws i'm
pose 81 tax on the hat, then the farmer,
before he could wear his hat In this coun-
try, must pay another dollar, or bushel
Of wheat, to the custom house officer.
This makes his hat cost him two bushels
OF wheat, when, in fact, free trade would
give 1t to him for one bushel.
If our surplus commodities could be
freely exchanged the world over for the
surplus Of other people, we would not be
at the disadvantage Of having all the
profits Of this exchange confscated at the
custom house. Custom houses are just
80 many toll gates. Commerce cannot
pass through them without paying the
rates Of toll fixed by law. In this coun-
try these rates are fixed so high that
there is no profit whatever for the peo-
pie who produce articles for export. In
our country the farmer Ia the principal
sufferer, because he produces nearly the
whole Of our surplus to be exported. Our
products are sold for gold on gold
basis; our tariff is paid In gold, or on a
gold basis.
The fact that international trade Is, by
the restrictions Of the tariff, required to
be practically an exchange OF goods for
money, instead Of commodity, for COM
modify necessarily makes great demand
for money, which results In a constantly
increasing demand for money In proper
tlon to the increased output of commo-
ditleS seeking market. This must Of
necessity put gold up, and compel gold
to rapidly rise from year to year, for the
volume Of commodities 10 increasing
from year to year.
The fact that we sell abroad for gold
and pay our tariff duties and other debts
at home in gold, or at gold valuation,
necessarily makes q great demand for
gold both here and abroad, so much so
