RINGING.
STRONG LETTER FROM BLANTON
DUNCAN, OF CALIFORNIA.
come Tax and Discusses Senator
kyle's Possible Vote Thereon.

strength for and against the income-tariff-
crazy-quilt law will be as follows:
Against-Thirty-six Republicans; Jones,
Stewart, PETER, Irby, Peoples party; Hill,
Murphy, DemocratS-42
For the Bill-Mugwumps, So; shaky and
disgruntled, Mills. Coke; very doubtful
South; want more sugar and plenty of it,
blanchard. Caffery; Populist, claimed by
Mugwumps Kyle-l2.
If all these doubtful votes can be re-
called, the result will be a tie and leave
the ultimate decision in the hands of Sena-
tor Allen, who by voting to take up the
bill, very often has led to the hope that he
would support it finally. So they hoped
for Stewards vote. There has been no
utterance by Allen to indicate his support
of the original Wilson bill, or of the senate
PAINTING, or finally a word to the
Kaleidoscope just presented, with SOB amend
ments and more to come. There has never
been any possible conception by officials
as to what the plastic putty model may be
shaped into, and the common people do
not strain their brains in the effort to
guess at the form which it will take-to
lay contributions and tribute from them.
The executive may have a clearer appreci-
alton of what he intends to do by impera-
tive orders, if the business should really
pass the senate, and his satellites stand
ready in both houses to gup down all the
dlctatlon, no matter what enormties may
be inserted, when the conference commit
tee finally agrees and the monstrosity is
brought back into the house to be ratified
by the obedient yeas of a bare majority
That this has been the intention all the
time of those who pull the strings for the
puppets to dance, has been foreSeen by
men of brains. But will this trickery win?
l should say no, for already several changes
have been made in the few amendments
discussed and voted upon in the senate

III the Republicans believe what they as
sert that the passage of this bill will add
to the restitution, employment and
ruin of the labor classes, thereby insuring
the striking down of commerce and all
industrial interests-and if so believing
they falsify their sworn duty in the senate
ana permit the enactment of a law which
they can defeat-they wilfully commit a
crime for which, when the people get a
chance at them. each will hear a verdict
retegating them to private life and utter
contempt Words do not mean anything
IT, after vehement denunciation, action
shows the lie-the hypocrisy.
There are hundreds of thousands of US,
who do not conceive the defeat or passage
OF this bill amounts to much in regard to
relieving the country from it's present state
of collapse and ruin. When a man is bleed
ing to death it makes little difference
whether Alopaths or Homoepaths stand by
his body and discuss any experiment. We
need blood and plenty of it injected into
the veins and arteries of commerce
ana business and agriculture if the country
is to be saved from speedy death from
collapse and exhaustion, and plenty of the
circulation to make it speedily effective
whether of silver greenbacks or silver
certificates, to run up like that of France
to 500 per capita That is the solution of
the ills we matchmaking it idiotic ito f1y

Senator Kyle has been supposed to act
upon a platform which declared in favor
OF this financial doctrine-so treacherously
strlken down by both parties, which had
IN their platforms substantially directed the
same action.
cordial association with senator's who have
SO signally betrayed their pledges to the
people, simply with the hope of bringing
about an alliance between the administra-
ton and its cuckoo and the Peoples Party
progressing the latter is with cyclonic
rapldity-it is the veriest illusion of an
cratic dream, which ever was chronicled I
90 not concede that Senator Kyle means
10 DESERT MS friends, or to support the ad-
mlnistration in the villainous abortion of
income tax. Such has been presented
robbing all the poor stockholders and de-
poSltors in the small corporations and the
eXempting millions of others, whose profits
yearly run up to gigantic figures in the
vast church properties-Catholic and Pro-
testant-the millionaire aristocratic schools.
ETC.; and lately the building associations
with $450O0O.00O of assets and $50, 600 900 of
proHts And the spokesman of the mug
wumps-Noorhees-in presenting the bill,
said it would only reach $1,000 persons ,
Ana these were to be individuals of great
possessions, such as the $4,000, who owned
$3l oo0, oOO-more than half of the entire
wealth of this country.

emphatic-"We demand a graduated in
come tax" What a system of graduation
the muSwumps propose to tax every man
widow or orphan just the same rate on
their pitful holding of 500 or $1,000 of
stock, that they do the multi-mllionaire
on his vast income, which he will give as
MS bump OF veracity may incline him.
Mo- Senator Kyle cannot vote with the
Democrats on that He has too much prin-
clple. He cannot support the treacherous
rejection of the administration of tariff
for revenue only which is the same as
the PEOPLES declaration, that our national
legislation shall be framed in the future
as not to build up one industry at the ex
penSe OF another, and permit the buildine,
up OF all the atrocious trusts and COM
blnes, which have been SO carefully pro-
vided for in that omnibus of oppression
and extortion-the profits of the Sugar
syndicate alone estimated for 1895 at $50 :
UO,0Oo SUFFICIENT of which and from the
other trusts it is fully understood are to
be poured into the oceanic corruption fund
with which the administrations instru-
ments are to debauch and buy up the
masses in coming elections-Dowerless as
they conceive the voters, in their desrada-
ton and starvation, to resist the tempting
bride, which will offer food to starving
wives and children. Revitalize the dead
shrinking corpse of the mugwump machine
corrupt beyond precedent-give new life
to the CukOOS and the deDraVed tools who
have been ready to obey every order from
the autocrat! Why, no man living, with
three grains of sense, would dare to take
the obloquy and the responsibility for the
after results!
We would have a debauched. sensual
poorer class, with no manhood, no thought
no virility, abject at the feet of the de-
bauchees, and a womanhood so debased
by association with the other de-
PRAYED class that they would sink
IN the mud as playthings of
the oligarchy. And we might earnestly
hope future writers would leave blank
pages about the coming generation in the
annals OF history. Or, if there was man.
hood, or independence or virtue left in this
land, the masses would rise and sweep
from the earth the bribing, debauching, in
famous oligarchy, which so threatens to
disgrace the land, and wipe out every YES
tige of honor, integrity and morality
No! No! The mugwumps are to be ut
terly mistaken in claiming honorable Pop
ulsts as their associates in the enactment
of laws so full of discrimination and vile
favoritism, directly antagonizing the Chi
cago platform, that protection was uncon-
stitutional, by simply taking up the Nc
kinley bill and enacting it over in SUBJ
stance by reduction of percentage, reduc-
ing revenue by millions and substituting
direct taxes, and increase upon sugar
whisky, tobacco, etc.
