CANNOT THE IS,OME TAX BE

Now that the speech with which Senator
Voorhees, introduced the tariff bill into
the Senate has been critically analysed
it appears that he makes the following
estimate of receipts and expenditures:

Miscellaneous Observation-Disclosures. 2O0OO 90
Postal service .................... S4,427. 766
Total ..........................s $3.50, 7SS, 766
Upon examining these figures the New
York Journal of Commerce finds what it
claims to be several errors. 1t claims that
the receipts will be considerably more
than Mr.. Voorhees, makes them. and
that the expenditures will be considerably
less, and it claims that a true statement
of the account would show this result:
Expenditures for fiscal year. 1896. $40. 427, 749
Receipts under pending bill. 493. 25S 0e6
Apparent surplus. 80, $3.50, 81
We must say that on going over the
Journal of Commences remarks we are
constrained to admit that they seem
well founded, and that the surplus will
really be what 1t estimates, without max
ing any allowance for the increase that
will take place In importations on account
of reduced duties. We have no doubt
that this will be very considerable, but it
is of course conjectural and cannot be
taken into consideration. The income tax
is expected to yield s3O,O0OooO. If the
figures Of the Journal Of Commerce can
ne dCCtpltu we CdIl uTOp lie income
tax and still have a surplus Of So, OO0,O 900.
Ought IT not to be dropped?
An income tax is an odious tax, and
should never be resorted to unless there
is some strong reason for il. 1t should
never be resorted to under any circum-
stances, unless it is made to bear equally
upon all citizens. The only citizens who
can be fairly exempted from its opera
tons are those whose incomes are so
small that a tax on them would produce
no substantial revenue, and would. there
fore, operate as a vexation only. But
the proposed income tax, operating on
those only who have incomes above $1,000.
is denial Of the most ordinary and
elementary principles of justice. No such
income tax as that should be imposed
under any circumstances. We hone the
tariff bill will be critically examined in
the light of the statement of the Journal
OF Commerce, and that the income tax
VIII be omitted from ii If the statement
is found to be correct.

promises, and that has had much to 90
with their losses at recent elections
But in a general way it may be said that
the political reaction il due TO hard times

they are, and that the course OF the
Democrats for the last six months has
tended 10 accelerate rather than retard
it, because they have not acted promptly

years a representative from Kansas, died
suddenly at his home in this city yester-
day afternoon His death was due to
cholera morbus, CONTRACTED in Indian Ter
ritory a few days ago. He leaves wife,
two daughters and son, all of whom
were present at the deathbed. Mr. Per-
kins left Washington to attend the polit-
ical convention which commenced its
sessions at Topeka on the 9th inst. After
finishing his duties at Topeka he took a
short pleasure trip to Indian Territory
A week ago he returned to Washington
and since then had been suffering, but
until Tuesday night steadfastly refused
to call physician. During the night he
became worse, and DR.. Brumbough, the
family physician, was called to the house.
No serious alarm was felt until 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when the symptoms
grew much worse. Drs. Sewers and Bal
loch were hastily summoned. They found
the patient dangerously ill, and their eff
forts to afford relief proved futile. He
sank rapidly, and at4 o'clock passed away.

affected would to-day be from fifteen to
twenty millions less than it is
This is without taking into account
the loss suffered by the operators or by
the industries dependent upon soft coal
to carry on their operations. That loss
has fallen heavily upon the wageearners
in various lines of industry. Nor does
this take account of the destruction Of
property by lawless bands of strikers.
The operators may not have lost a great
deal by the closing of their mines, since
there was pretty fair stock of coal on
hand. The stoppage permitted an ad-
vance in price and the advance probably
may make the operators whole, Sup
posing this to be the case, we have once
more the humiliating spectacle of men
biting off their own noses to spite the
faces of other people. This may be a
cure for folly, but we guess not 1t will
probably serve to illustrate Bourbonism

WHAT IT COST.

AS after a spree men take stock of
headaches aud depleted exchequer, so
after the strike the question of profit and
loss intrudes itself upon the consciousness
Of the strikers The period of enforced
idleness covered nearly sixty days, and
that means the loss of the wages of more
than a hundred thousand miners and
cookers This represents a loss of several
millions in cash, first to the strikers and
then to the local trade Of the country.
When we reflect that dollar paid out by
the working man may in a single day pay
twenty dollars Of a distributed indebt-
edness, the volume of first o.. wage loss
becomes enormous, Soitis within bounds
TO say that if the loss i'm wages has been
six millons-and il is estimated at ten
millions by careful statisticians--the de-
dcit in debt paying during the strike can
not fall below fifteen millions, with a
probability that it is twenty millions
That is to say, had these wages been paid

debtedness of the districts Immediately

ERASTUS WIMAN'S SENTENCE
The Ex-MInionaire Gets Five Years and
Six Months at Sing Sing,


New YORK, June 21.-Erastus Wiman,
the one time philanthropist and capital
list, convicted of forgery in the second de-
gree, was sentenced to Sing Sing by Judge
Ingraham in the court of oyer and ter
miner for five years aud six months. The
sentence, with the Communication off, will
amount to three years, eleven months,
and fifteen days.
When brought into court the ex-million-
aire looked rather wan, aud he was so
poorly dressed as to excite comment with
his old friends. He was accompanied by
his two faithful sons, who sought to COM
fort him by cheering words; but it was
patent to every one that Wiman dreaded
the issue, and heartily wished himself
back in his cell. Several of his Staten
Island friends shook hands with him.
As the judge seated himself General
Tracy stood before him and began an
earnest appeal for his client. General
Tracy based his motion for new trial on
these grounds: That the court has misdi-
rected the jury; that the verdict was
clearly contrary TO law; that the verdict
was clearly against the evidence. Judge
Ingraham denied the motion,
As soon as sentence was passed Mr.
Tracy made an appeal for stay of eXecu'
tion on the ground that Mr., Wiman had
a great deal of business TO attend to, and
Judge Ingraham told Deputy Sheriff
Brown to instruct Sheriff Sexton not tC
take Mr.. Wiman to prison until Tuesday
next A formal motion of an appeal was
made, but the closest friends of Mr.. Wi
man do not believe that it will be urged.
