THE INCOME TAX.

The income tax raises revenue with
out raising prices or increasing the out
lay of the people-New York World.
It's supposed to be hard enough now
for rich man to get into heaven. If
an income tax is established he'll hardly
be likely to swear himself ln.-Phila-
delphia Times.
No public measure that puts direct
premium on dishonesty and perjury
can be wise one for a state, no matter
what may be the sum produced by it.
Yet that has always been the effect of
an income taX.-New York Herald.
Public opinion in all parts of the
country is very strongly against the i'm
position of an income tax. The prin-
ciple upon which such tax is based is
utterly foreign to the American idea of
vernment.-Baltimore American.
1t may be the better plan, after all. to
have an income tax bill than to make it
part of the tariff bill. When it comes
separately before congress there may be
less wrangling over it and less DISPOSE
ton to cut and slash and emaSculate it,
Atlanta Constitution.
A tax on incomes would be tax on
the net profits of all corporations, but a
tax on the net profits of corporations
would not be tax on all incomes, For
this reason the former Is the better. 1t
is more comprehensive, and has no
flavor of observation-disclosures. Louis Post
Dispatch.
Members of the ways and means COM
mittee need not be nervous about an
Income tax. The people are pleased
with the tariff bill, and will support any
income tax necessary to insure the
soivency of the treasury while the new
tariff is getting down to work.-St.
Louis Republic.
While free trade would thus create
distinction of classes, an income tax
would render the distinction all the
more acute and bring American social
and political conditions nearer to those
of that country so dearly loved and ad-
mIred by Cleveland and his followers
New York Press.
What is needed in this country is an
income tax law that is. so to speak,
"horse high. bull strong and hog tight"
There shoui1 be no chance for pluto
Gratis to jump over, or through it, or
crawl under. They should be forced to
bear their share of the public burdens.

RattIesnake Weed.
Pacific Tree and Vine.

Pacific Tree and Vine.
In Monterey. as we'll as Santa Clara
county, there grows weed called the
rattlesnake weed. 1t is so named from
the theory that when rattlesnakes get
to fighting and bite each other this
weed. if eaten by them, will prevent
death. 1t grows about six inches tall,
has red stalk and slender leaves.
On the top of the stalk comes head
OF flowers. and the seeds of these flow
ers are said to be very annoying to one
in passing through mass of them, as
they are furnished with sharp barbs,
commonly called stickers. The early
settlers who had herds of sheep always
made their herdsmen keep with them a
bottle of strong tea made of rattlesnafe
weed, and when any of the sheep were
bitten they were drenched with this
tea, which always saved them.

LEGISLATION.

1t would seem as if the United
States Senate was a body which has
no control or government over itself
or over its members. 1t can't vote,
it can't make itself vote, and no power
exists which can make it vote. Its ex-
istence therefore is simply as an Oh.
structionist. 1t is not to legislate,
but to prevent legislation. 1t does
not represent the people, it does not
represent the states. 1t stands against
the interests of both in many instances.
With a few brilliant and able men, it
is weak as body. 1t has become a
public nuisance, and to be abated as
such. Debate is one thing, but there
has been no debate, there will be
none = thin wishy-washy talkee.

THE SENATE.

Mr.. Voorhees, is quoted as saying
''There is no power on the earth
or in the heavens above nor in
the depths below that will compel
the Senate to vote on the repeal
bill. 1t will be from now on
merely test Of endurance on both
sides. We have substantial majority
solid for repeal, and are as conhden,
of the ultimate result as we~have beer
at any stage of the fight. shall
move for longer sessions at an early
day"
If that be true, then the Senate o.
the United States as at present consti
tuted or organized is the st1prem.
poloer in this government. The ma
jority does not rule, the people do not
rule, but half-a.dozen old cranks ir
the senate do absolutely rule the coun
ty-preyent necessary legislation, OBJ.

Doubling the present price Of

age IN excess OF the worlds require
ments and there are those who be-
lieye that the depressing influence of
this excessive acreage upon prices has
been intensified and augmented by
methods employed upon the Produce
Exchanges.
When we reflect that had the 900,

ted only four mills more a pound, fully

in American securities have been sent
back, We can understand that the
purchasing power Of the farmer would
have been enhanced by several hun
dred millions, as like as advances
would have been secured on all simi-
lar products sold at home.
Such an addition to the farmers
power to purchase would have kept
the mills and furnaces employed; the
operatives, having constant work at
high wages, would be able to buy
bread; and their power to purchase

THE REPUBLICAN REToRN.

IN the piAuOIn auOpscu Ug IHe Ne-
publican State convention, there are
few things which seem TO me to con.
vey erroneous ideas.
tst. They say swiftly upon the heels
OF Democratic success in 1899 has
followed national distress.
Now the men composing that con.
vention are not very young, indeed,
they should be able to remember that
similar financial panic swept over
our country in 1873, shortly after the
reelection of General Grant. But no
intelligent person charged tina, trouble
to the election of Grant. 1t was then
as now, the result OF an unwlse hnan-
cial policy which had been adopted
by the Republican party. Their lu.
dicrous attempts to shift the blame
for their own misdeeds upon Others
shoulders reminds one OF the antics of
an ape on the roof Of burning bui d.
ing set on fire by its own mischief. ii
may excite laughter among intelligent
men, but it will not relieve them from
the censure and odium which OF right
belong to them.
and. The charge that the Demo
cratic administration had appointed
officers in charge of the Interior de.
partment at Washington who are hos
tile to the surviving veterans / am at
loss TO know just how 10 characterize
that charge. Webster defines the
word lie as false statement uttered
to deceive. The above charge seems
to NE to come within that definition.
The fact that commissioner Lochren
is himself surviving veteran is suific
lent refutation OF that charge.
But | will add that | have me. with
no Democrat who is opposed to giving
worthy veterans a fair pension for
their services on the the battle field
But Democrats, honest Republicans
and veterans do emphaticaily objec,
70 unjust Determinations in granting
pensions and In the amount granted.
Ard they object to pensioning camp
followers, deser;ers and county Jump.
ers. All honest men will object to
using the pension bureau for vartisan
purposes, as we have reason 70 sup
pose has been the case under former
administration. Their demand fo. the
enactment. and enforcement OF immi-
grafton laws which shall effectually
prohibit the importation of ignorant
and undesirable immigrants is all right,
only that j, comes little late from the
party that more than anv other is re.
sponsible for the great influx of that
undesirable class.
Now a few words in regard to their
style OF reducing taxation by making
liberal appropriations, and close this
communication.
They claim to have thus reduced
their pledges to reduce taxation. The
wide awake taxpayer will conclude,
that they might just as well have left
their pledges unredeemed. Those
boys seem to be of the opinion, that
the state is wealthy institution not
dependent upon the taxpayers for its
resources, and that an appropriation
from that place is gratuity.
Now it seems almost pity to dis
turb their innocent credulity, but as
some innocent parties may chance to
read their platform and conclude,
that these Repub leans have really
done something for the peoples bene-
fit, it may be proper to say, that every
dollar appropriated for any purpose,
comes nom the people, and that the
producing class bears large share Of
the burden. G..

If, as IS altogether probable, the
revenue derived from the cultivation
Of each acre Of the staples named has
not since 1885 been in excess of the
cost of production, then it is readily
seen that the workers among the 50,
900, 900 who inhabit the farms of the
United States have for eight years re-
ceiyed no more than laborers' wages,
and could purchase but the barest
necessaries. As prices now current
are 81 per cent below the average OF
1886 to 1890, it follows that the pro-
ducts of the farm are now sold below
the cost Of production, and that the
farmer is wholly without purchasing
power other than such as results from
his wages as common laborer.
As 2o6, 900 acres are now EN-.
ployed in growing staple crops, it fol
