Purpose of An Income Tax.

St. Louis (Mo.) Republic.
An income tax is right if it is
for revenue and wrong if it is TO,
confscation.
The Democratic party has never
started out to convert mans
property to public uses simply be-
cause he happend to have more
property than some other man.
If government were unnecessary
taxes would be unnecessary.
Government exists because in
justice exists aud requires curbing,
1t exists secondarily because there
are some duties which cannot be
economically or efficiently dis
charged by voluntary cooperation
of individuals. There sound
government stops.
An income tax in the United
States is required to distribute
more equitably the burden
of taxation necessary to fulfill
government obligations. It would
be mighty crime if it were used
to punish men for having worldly
goods.
Tariff taxes are paid by the
families and are an exemption of
the rich. Their inconvenience
presses severely upon the
agricultural States whose products
depend upon export prices and
therefore npon trade activity.
The farms have been taxed for
government expenses aid for
bounties to Eastern manufactures.
An income tax will equalize the
burdens. 1t cannot equalize the
effect of restriction upon trade.
That disadvantage the farms must
bear until we can conduct our
fiscal affairs without duties on
imports.
Reports from the ways and
means committee say that the
Democratic members have all
agreed apon an income tax except
Bourke Cochran. If it is true that
all have agreed excepthim, he will
agree. He has too much sense to
oppose a unanimous majority re-
port.
Republican States have run up
the cost government to 100000, 900

comes be taxed heavily. They are
a menace to the Republic. Let the
little incomes..alone.
Atlanta Journal: 1t seems to US
that there could not be a fairer tax

ly paid than a tax on surplus in
comes.
St. Louis Post Dispatch: An
income tax would hit hardest at
the men who draw unerned d.
vidends on watered stock and over
issues of corporation bonds.
Pittsburg Dispatch: The income
tax as a tax on ability to pay, and
on that class which receives a
large share of the benefits of
government, is theoretically good
st Louis Republic: In justice to
the masses the rich cannot be
allowed to longer escape a reason
able proportion of Federal taxation.
The income tax will come to
stay.
Philadelphia Press: The income
tax will be met, when it is an
nouced next week, by universal
condemnation in the East; but it
will not be reported to please the
the East.
st Louis Post Dispatch: The
chief opposition to an income tax
comes from protectionists
who want their incomes
to be swelled by taxation
and to be protected from taxation.
Butler (Ga.) Herald: A tax on
incomes would not only be based
on justice, but could be much
more easily borne-would not be
any burden but would be an actual
benefit to the country.
Yonkers Statesman: The ma
forty of Democratic members of
the ways and Means Committee
are firm in support of such a pro-
position, and itprobably will be
incorporated in separate bill.
Pittsbuag Post: Tariff taxes arc
populur with the wealthy because
they compel the poorer Citizen to
pay the wealthy mans equitable
share of taxation. The income
tax abolishes that.

Whatever else may be said of
President Cleveland, nobody has
ever denied that he is a man of his
word. Having signed the Voorhees,
repeal bill, he is pledged to an
extended use of silver, as far as it
is consistent with it's parity with
gold. While this is not as much
as the silver people want, it means
that there must be other legislation
favorable to silver, at the next
session of Congress.-Ex.

We had the pleasure of meeting
in Augusta last week the Hon. w.
j. Talbert, the able and faithful
representative of the I'd district
in Congress. We had a conversa-
tion with him about the coming
Senatorial race and called his at
tentlon to the fact that the Wash
ington correspondent of the News
and Courier had reported that he
was for Butler. He replied that
was not the first time the News and
Courier had lied on him, and
authorized US to say for him to
the people that he "was for B. R..
Tillmaa for the Senate first, last,
and all the time" He further
said that there had been studied
effort on the part of the opposition
dailies to manufacture a coldness
between himself and the governor
but that they had not succeeded
and never wonld. He is standing
by "the boys" in this fight and
expects to stand by the demands
of the Alliance upon which he was
elected and fight for them to the
bitter end. Aliiancemen man feel
assured that they have a friend in
Col. Talbert who will not de.
desert them.-Peoples Advocate.

THE BROKEN HEART.
Al Story of Wrong and Re-
yenge.

Twas midnight, and growing
later every minute.
The silence and hush Of the
black and impenetrable night had
settled upon the great city-given
name of city forgotten. But Hark !
Hist! will do as well. An Off
cessswas heard to emerge from the
back door of saloon, carefully
look around him, and was seen to
mutter between his false teeth !:
aHal Foiled again, by the great
ayenger!' He then stepped out
into the above style of night, and
was soon lost to view. Dear reader

mans shrek pierced the midnight
air. Every indication points to
fthe fact that the midnight air was
pierced twice when she shroke the
second time. The officer hearing
Those cries quickly ascertained the
quarter they were coming from,
and ran with all his might in the
opposite direction.
Men were now seen coming from
every point. They stopped in front
of the house where the shrieks
were seen coming from.
q Stout men put their fingers to
their ears to shut out those heart
rending cries. One man tainted.
Another man pulled from his pis-
tol pocket a flask of whiskey and
fifty cents in gold. Hastily re-
placing the money, he gave the
faintiug man great, large sized
drink from his flask. Then more
men tainted; the fainting was kept
up until the whiskey gave out.
1T was horrible!
Meanwhile those shricks we're
piercing the midnight, which by
this time was full of large, irregu-
lar pierces that one might put
ones leg through.
One man, braver than all the
rest, climbed upon the topmost
pinnacle of a beer keg and addressed
the crowd "Mr. Chairman, little

For THE THOUGHTFUL

SELECTED.
People without faults have no
friends.
The sins that shine, kill the
quickest.
The DEVILS husks never made
any body fat.
You can't point to the cross with
a frown OH your face.
Gods door steps is a better place
than the DEVILS palace.
, The DEVILS main business is to
make a black lie look white.
Doing good will pay better in
the long run than digging gold.
No matter what he claims to be,
the man who does nothing, is
nothing.
Our lives tomorrow will depend
upon the stand we are taking to-
day for Christ.
The only people who do not
walk in the dark are those who
walk by faith.
Never let day pass without
praying to become moro and more
like Jesus Christ.
Napoleon never pointed to his
ancestry as the source of his un-
paralleled ambition and achieve
ments, but said Il am my own
ancestry" A patrician once said
to Cicero: "You are a plebean."
II am" said Cicero, "the. nobility
of my family begins with me, that
of yours ends with you" Better
be the foundation of new pyra-
med than the apex of an old one.
Better make your family proud of
you than be foolishly proud of your
family with nothing in you to en-
able them to return the compli-
ments.
Charity means love, high as
heaven and broad as humanity.
Charity covers the multitude of
sins with forgiveness. 1t is not a
cold and apathetic thing. In fact,
it is greater and needs more
strength to forgive, than to resist.
Therefore meekness is not. weak

to do good, when one could do
harm. We are to forgive seventy
times seven, no limit. Charity
will cover sins with silence, will not
magnify things about others; does
not grow talkative over others
shortcomings. Cobwebs are not
woven in a clean room. Charity
rolls no stories under it's tongue as
sweet morsel. Look at the bright
side of people.

Evansville (Ind.) Courier: Every
protected boss IN the couatry is
crying out against an income tax.
Of course. When an income tax
gets fairly to work there will be no
possible excnse for taxing
the clothes on the back of labor.
Atlanta Constitution: 1t is all
wrong to put heavy tax on a
man with a cottage or a farm and
let the bondholder with an annual
income of $4,000 go scot-frec.
The country is to he congratulated
upon the growing popularity of the
income tax.
Pittsburg Post: We presume
there will be great outcry against
this tax, as the people who will be
called on to pay it are of class
who have great deal of influence
in moulding public opinion. But
when 1t is fully understood we
think it will be popular tax with
the great mass of the people.
Youngstown (O) Vindicator.
An income tax is right. If they say
it is class legislation, that means
the burden shall not rest upon the
poor almost entirely. An income
lax is democratic. 1t had the
support of such a distinguished
Republican as John Sherman be-
fore be became allied with mil

Boston Post: If revenue tax
on incomes is proposed as a ne
cessary part of the new system, it
will devolve upon lis advocates to
show how it may be assessed with
justice and collected without un-
necessary offense and with
sufficient economy to render it
desirable. But it such a plan can
be devised an income tax will be
the most equitable.
Freeman's Journal: The income
tax that was imposed by a Re-
publican Administration in war
time was very different sort of
thing from what the Democrats
propose. The war tax reached all
classes. The one now proposed is
calculated to reach only those who

Kansas City Times: The idea of
all income tax is that every man
shall be taxed in proportion to
his ability, and not, as under the
ordinary rule, in proportion to the
visible character of his property.
Under the common system of tax
ing visible property the poor man,
with a small home and a few per-
sonal holdings pays taxes altogeth-
er out of proportion to his ability
or his relative circumstances when
compared to the rich man or the
man Of large income.

On With Tariff Reform!

Boston Herald: The new tariff
bill should be passed quickly.
Indianapolis Sentinel: All mo-
tives of policy dictate quick and
resolute action on the question.
Chattanooga Times: The tariff
will be amended. 1t will not be
ripped up. The Democrats were
put in power to make this revision.
St. Louis Republic: While the
Ways and Means Committee is
getting up a good tariff bill the
democracy expects the steering
committees to be getting up a way
to pass it.
Atlanta Journal: Let US have a
genuine democratic tariff. Inter-
ests which are now enjoying big
bounties at the expense of the peo-
pie msy howl, but the people will
say: Well donel"
Baltimore Sun: The appearance
of the tariff bill, which is now
substantially ready for presenta-
ton to Congress, will, we believe,
do much towards reassuring the
business interests of the country
and restoring full commercial con-
fidence.
Chicago Times: The good sense
of The President Of the United
States and the sturdy intelligence
of the mass of democrats in both
houses of Congress will result, it
may be hoped, in placing upon the
statute books within a very brief
period revised tariff laws.
Montgomery Advertiser: There
is every evidence that the reform
tariff bill will be ready for action
when Congress meets on the first.

we'll get ready for it without un-
necessary delay. They want to
give it a trial, and they should see
to it that it has a fair one. Instead
of injuring tie manufacturers it
will be of benefit tc them.
Memphis Appeal-Avalanche:
The new tariff bill will be ready
for submission to the House of
Representatives several days be-
fore the opening of the regular
session. 1t will probably not be
submitted to Democratic caucus,
and we cannot see what would be
gained by this action. 1t can be
pushed through the House very
rapidly, and full, open debate
would be much more satisfactory
to the country.
