The Income Tax.

The Democratic leaders who
propose to tax incomes in order
70 make up for the loss Of reve-
nues under their low tariff sys-
tenn. are meeting with opposition
on every hand. All tine best
thought of the age is against any
law that puts a premium on liv-
ing. We are not ANXIOUS TO hasten
the age Of mendacity. The Demo.
Gratis propose now to place the
minimum limit of taxable in.

opponants of this system of tax

fixed the more it becomes a spe-l

popularized, but the great troub-
lie with the income tax is not so
much that it is unequal in its OPP.
GRAFTON as that it invites an inva
sion of the affairs of private citi-
zens, which is neither agreeable
nor Just, and at the same time
encourages the adoption of all
sorts of expedients for minimiz-
ing his returns to the assessor.
There is much doubt as to
whether such a tax can be fully
and fairly enforced. 1t is true
that under the act of1s64, which
imposed a tax of 5 per cent. on
incomes between 5000 and 5000
and 10 per cent. on incomes
above IS. 600, a large amount of
revenue was raised. In 1866
the revenue collected under this
law amounted to nearly S74. 600. I.
600, of which, exclusive Of re-
turns on railroad. bank and in
surance dividends, about $780,
900, 900 was realized on the small.
er class of incomes, and S34,
100000 on incomes over IS, 600.
Yet the tax was not popular.
1t was regarded as a war tax and
therefore soon became odious.
Itpermitted of many evasions by
a mild sort of perjury, and it is
safe to say that the greater mum
Der of evasions was above the

Court has handed down an i'm
portant decision in relation to
the power of town corporations

The nature of the case is as fol.

which was situated in the town.
For a number of years the town
authorities assessed Mr.. Watson
with corporation tax on his bank
stock. He paid it for some time.
but finally concluded that as he
did not reside in the corporation
the town had no right to tax him
upon this stock and brought suit
befoae Justice T. A. Fleming to
recover the amount he had paid.
The justice, upon hearing the
evidence, rendered a judgment
IN Mr.. Watson's favor for the
whole amount of his claim. The

1t is now asserted by the high.
est authority, Democratic news
papers of acknowledged national
fame, joining the ranks Of the &C.
cusors, that Grover Cleveland is
today far more suitable sub.
ject for impeachment than was
Andrew johnson. The New
York Press very eloquently says
that, if Grover Cleveland has
acted upon the recommendations
by his Secretary of State and
made war upon the government
of Hawaii, he should be impeach-
ed for violating the provisions
of the Constitution. This is
echoed by newspapers withoutre.

calls for the impeachment of the

suit Congress, and sending his
herald to Honolulu to declare

A HOWL.
The South Cries out in AM
guish Against Democratic
Policies.

Policies. &
Mr.. William L. Wilson and his
free trade committee are just
now hearing solemn voices OF
warning. Last week the first
delegation heard was from Ala
lbama, Tennessee and Georgia.
and its members represented the
coal and iron ore producers and
the transportation companies.
They wanted protection. AS
emphatically as any of the rob
Der barons'' of the North, they
insisted that heir prosperity de-
pended upon the maintenance of
a protective. tariff on coal and
iron ore. They showed that pro,
lection had enabled Alabama
alone to produce 100000 tons
of iron ore and 5000, 0o0 tons of
coal annually; that these indus.
tries gave employment to 10000
men and fed and clothed a third
of the population of the State.
The delegation which first
appeared before the committee
wasinterested speciallyin the iron
ore and coal industries, the great
manufacturing commodities Of
the South, ard was composed of
+. g. Bush, President of the Mo-
bile and Birmingham railroad,
and q number of leading men of
the State.
Mr.. Bush acted as spokesman
for the delegation. He declared
that he believed it was not the
intention of the Democratic Nat
ional Convention in Chicago in
framing its platform to declare
a policy which would prove ruin
GUS to any of the great interests
OF ire country. Neither did he
believe that it was the intention
for the President or the commit.
tee to do any such injury.
"You can base your argument"
INTERRUPTED CHAIRMAN WILSON
ION the hypothesis that neither
loes the committee, nor the
Democratic administration intend
o do anything to endanger the
great interests of the country
II am glad of it, said the
speaker. Continuing, he pro
;ested against the injustice Of
placing iron ore, or coal on the
rec list. The protection on
4
ron ore and coal had grided
Alabama with railroads and de-
veloped these industries until
Alabama now annually produces
. million tons of pig iron and
i've millions of coal.
I'm case of free ore where
would you be distressed by it,
and where would it come 10 com.
petition with you?" asked Mr..
Wilson.
I'VE would be cut out of any
sale of iron in the Eastern States.
The effect would be to restrict
our market to the South, and to
exclude from the Eastern market
where we would have to meet the
low competition of
CUBAN AND SPANISH ORE.
"fthis committee. as report
ed" continued Mr.. Bush lis to
put lumber, rice and sugar, coal
and iron ore on the free list,
then they of the South might as
well give up, 1t would be the
death blow to Southern pros.
perity.
Mr.. Bush made a strong ap.
peal. We are not politicians, SAID
he; we are plain business men.
We are Democrats from princi-
pie, and we certainly do not ex-
pect to suffer in the house of our
friends. If we do, it is a natural
question to ask how long will
we continue to kiss the hand that
smites us. Ifyou bring in your
bill with those articles on the
free list, you will l think. have
every Democratic Senator and
Representative from Alabama
opposed to it."
