Cumulative Taxation.

This is the title of little book Of SO
pages which treats on taxation. The author
Of Cumulative Taxation advances a new
system of taxing property designed to
destroy and prevent in future the mammoth
corporations which are becoming a source Of
apprehension to the people, and cause a
more general distribution Of manufacturing
establishments over the country, of smaller
proportions. The writer claims that the
system Of taxation recommended by him
would break up trusts and combines and
would prove a substitute for an income tax.
The system of cumulative taxation rec
commended by our author will be best un-
derstood by the following example copied
from the pamphlet:
upon all values of $1,000 or less the
lowest rate shall be charged and collected
Upon all values exceeding $1,000 and
not exceeding $1,000 the rate of taxation
shall be: For the first $1,000 above the orig
inal thousand, one and one.tenth times the
lowest rate. For the second $1,000 above the
original $1,000, one and one fifth times the
lowest rate" and so on rising one-tenth till
$4,000 is reached. Then taking this cum
Ulated rate for the basis of the next progress.
sive stage the rates shall advance Ito on
every additional $4,000 until 100000 is
reached. The above example will serve TO
Illustrate the proposed system, which rises
as the mass of capital increases, and when
the millions accumulation establishment is
reached, with its watered stocks the system
would tell SO severely upon them the most
of the combines and mammoth trusts would
be wiped out 10 the advantage of the public
and the business which has been absorbed
by these monopolies would scatter oyer the
country in smaller establishments promot-
ing healthy competition and uniform
range of legitimate prices, regulated by
demand and supply.
Taxation is one of the most important
economic questions of the time and every
contribution to that branch Of literature
should he welcomed by the public and
carefully considered. Cumulative Taxation
is something new OH the subject and ought
to command general attention. The PAM
phlet is by w. V. Marshall, editor of the
Berlin Record, Berlin, Pa, and sold tor the
small price of Is cents. Every one who
cares enough about public affairs to be a
citizen OF the United States should send Is
cents for copy and study the plan carefully.

A Grinding Coal Monopoly.

The sales agents of the anthracite coal
combine" advanced prices another 25 cents
to take effect Sept. 1st. This is the fourth
turn of the screw since the genesis of the
Reading combine" on coal, independent Of
the Increase in coal freight rates. The
manipulators Of the coal deal short time
ago save out that the reason the Combine"
had been entered into Was to cheaper pro-
duction by cutting down operating expenses
and curtailing competition. 1t now turns
out that the "com tine" intended to play the
public false from the beginning.
This advance of one dollar per ton in the
price of coal within few months seems to
be clean steal, but consumers cannot help
themselves. The immense sums paid as
interest on watered railroad and coal com.
pany stocks must be paid by people outside
of the corporations, and the easiest and less
cruel way of collecting the robbers tax is
to spread it as widely per capita as the area
of consumption will admit. But collected
it must be. Poor and well.to.do people will
have to stand the extortion, for watered
stocks are as precions and honest in the
eyes of coal barons and railroad magnates as
gilt edged stocks-at least so long as the
claw" protects their issue and existence.
Let the people howl Mcleod must draw
his princely salary, and legislatures, courts
and counsel must he hired, wheedled and
owned-to protect the "water."
To add TO the confusion Of the coal COM
bina,ion, the Brooklyn Eagle puts this puz-
cling question: "The Pennsylvania coal
barons will deliver coal for export to any
foreign county at $3.50 TO So per ton. Why
do they charge the American citizens twice
as much ?"-Bu6alo Labor World.
There is but one rational answer to this
question: Because American fools continue
to vote steadily their old party ticket. The
cost Of this luxury is dollar ton paid by
every family in the country. The coal
birons own the candidates and legislature
