Let US see Just how "iufamous'
the income tax is. Mr. Choate is
supposed to earn by the profession
which he adorns about 500, 900 per

per cent. on that portion of this
income in excess of 1000; in other
words, he would pay per cent. on

could stock his cellar with fine wines.
He could extend hospitality without

An income tax such as The
World advo yates is tax levied on
the unneeded Surplus of the rich for
the purpose Of tightening the bur.

ISSUE OF BONDS DENOUNCED.
The gold standard cannot be maintained
by issuing bonds and borrowing gold, and
we denOunce the issue Of bonds in times

Of law, but as an utterly indetensible

What is needed now is more standard
money to pay debts and taxes with, and
not more promises to pay gold.
We denOunce, also, the proposed policy
Of delegating to banking Institutions or
ganized for private gain the right to issue
and regulate the paper currency of the
country, a sovereign power, which the gen
eneral Government alone should exercise.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-The report of
Commissioner Of internal Revenue, though
cevold OF specinc recommendations, ex-
cept as TO sOfne routine matters connected
with the enforcement OF the 0ieOmaTgd-
riHe Law, presents some figures OF general
interest.
Discussing the effect OF the new tariff
law on the revenue derived from distilled
spirits. the Commissioner says
Under the provisions or the act OF
August y. 1884, the tax on distilled spirits
was Increased from 80 cents to Sl.lU per
gallon. and the bonded period was ey-
tended from three years to eight years.
ALTHOUGH this act did not become a law
until August 18Th. IL was evident, at least
as early as June, 1891. that the tax on dis
titled spirits would be Increased. This
fact explains the great increase In the
tax-paid Withdrawals OF distilled spirits
during July and August. 1894. and the de-
crease OF such Withdrawals during Sep
tember. 1891.
THE heavy Withdrawals made during
June. July and August, 1891, had the ef-
feet OF over-stocking the market with tax
paid spirits, causing a falling Oft in the
tax-paid Withdrawals during October and
November. 1894
These facts Indicate that although the
rate a tax on distilled spirits was ma
teri .lly increased by the act named, this
act may rot have the effect OF proper.
