Asst becomes more and more
apparent that the proposed re.
vision of the tariff will not pro-
duce sufficient revenue to run the
Government, those who are re-
sponsible for the business are
beating about for some device to
supplement the income. And
there are agood many indications
that that most odious of all the
war taxes, the Income tax, will
be resorted to. During the past
sixteen years the proposition of
anincome tax was made five times
in one or the other branches OF
Congress, and on each occasion
a majority of the Democratic
members voted in favor of it.
Two members of Mr.. Cleve.
lands present cabinet-Carlisle
and Harbert-were among those
voting in its favor. Leading
Democratic papers in the West
and South advocate an income
tax sufficient to supply any short
age in the revenues under a re.
vised tariff. The st. Louis Re
public says: Ten per cent o.
even 5 per cent on the incomes
of such plutocrats as Andrew
Carnegie and William Waldorf
