The HalcfuI Influence OF Pro-
lection.

"a Democratic majority in con-
gross struggling to pass u reform
bill to cqualize tax burdens in the
face of coalition of monopolistic
interest, illustrates the dangerous
tcndeniy of concentrated wealth to
corrupt and ovcrawe the legisla-
tive power. CoXcy's army, strug-
Cling over mountains and through
valleys, begging free transportation
by land or water, and in some
cases taking it where it is not Civ
en-, moving on to Washington to
demand that Congress shall do as
well dy the masses as it has by the
classes, and provide wages for poor
laborcrs as well as profits for rich
manufacturers, is the diverse of
the monopolistic medal.
"Thc two spcctacles are contrasts
and yet companions, The repub-
lie is between these two pcrils-
the manufacturing monopolies de-
handing to be favored by special
legislation, and the mob demand
ing to be fed by the same means.
The greed Of an arrogant plutoc-
racy is on the one side DISTRESS ola
despairing proletariat on the other
Between them stand the Gov
eminent, for the time being in the
hands of the Democratic party. Tie
that party belongs the double duty
of setting bounds on the one hand
to the aggrcssions of the capitals
tic combinations that have usurpcd
the taXin2spower of the Govern
mcnt for their own aggrandize-
mcnt, and of firmly resisting on
the other hand, all those commu-
nistic schemes for making the Gov.
eminent support the people o.
which CoXcY'samy is Il fantastic
product,
at is cmincntly a time to recall
the ringing words of Hon Jno. G
Carlisle, uttered in the course o
the debate on the Mills tariff bill il
1883: No matter who may dcser
= or who may faltcr, the great tigh
: Tor reform will go on, This coun

have tecn amassed in the Eastern
money ccntcrs have been gained
at the expense of the rest of the
country and by means Of vicious
corrupt and partial legislation. The
Southern States and Southern peo-
pie have been taxed and plundered
TO put money in the Golfers of the
manufacturing monopolists of the
East and to pay the pensions Of a
million ex-soldiers. Could any
thing be more sectional than this?
The burden of tariff taxation
falls heaviest on the agricultural
States Of the South. The South
practically bears all the burden of
the pension rolls, for the money
collected from the rest of the people
is distributed again among them,
while year after year the South is
drained in order that other sections
may be enriched with the spoils
wrung from her soil and the labor
Of her citizens. The monopolist
and the moneycrats of the East
have grown rich ON sectional tax
alton, If the income tax proves
scctionalin its operation it is not
the fault of this form Of taxation
but of the criminal and wicked pol
icy that has stripped the rest of the
country in order to central zc its
wealth in the hands of a few men
in the great money centcrS OF the
country. The taxpaying capacity
Of all the rest of the people has
been steadily diminished by this
process ofstcady accumulation and
concentration of the countryswcalIh
| into the hands of few men. nc
honest man can deny that this is
! true. No man can deny that men
who will be subject to the proposed
income tax belong to the class that
is best able to bear the burdens OF
government, to the class that more
than any other needs the constant
protection of government, to th(
class that more than any other has
enjoyed ,hc partial favors of GOV.
mcnt. The fundamental principle
Of tuXhtion is that its buraci
should fall heaviest on those mos
able to bear it. 1t can not be pre-
tc nded that the income tax does
not meet this requirement. 1t cal
not be pretended that it will be ;
sensible hardship on those whC
have it to pay. If it is sectiona
it is because the wealth and tax
paying power Of the country is see
tional and because sectional law
and policies have produced thi

Democratic policies were nearly all
the time in the aseendencv, no
such dismal demonstration as Cox
cy's army is making was
known. Under these policies it
would have been i'm possible to col.
lect such a host of idle and aimless
men, with no hope left but q wild
rush to Congress with a petition to
be employed, paid and supported
at the national expense. Neither
in all these seventy ante-bellum
years was there ever seen a COM
panion spectacle to that now pre-
sented in Congress itself. Where
one Senator after another is rising
in his place oplcad for 40, GO, so
and in some cases 100 per cent
tariff taxes, to the end that the
few monopolists may 90 on grow
ing richer, while the consuming
and toiling millions 60 on growing
poorer.
"Republicon rule has given us
McKinlcy's tariff and created
Coxey's Commonwcal army. The
millionaircs and tramps and evo-
lutions of the same pcrilous policy
of making the Government spec
ial partner in favored branches of
bushes, and mercilessly taxing all
classes to make a few hundred men
fabulcusly ich. Spreading broad
cast the delusivc doctrins that pros
pcrity can be made to order by
Congress, that good times can be
provided and hard times prohibit

body who need them is the prime

ing him that il he abandoned tf
service it would be relet at the ex
pense of himself and his sureties.
Moses held on for thirty days, ard
then for ten days longer in order
not to embarrass the United States
government. Then he quit, and the
departing mt engaged somebody else
to carry the mail bags, paying tie
substitute 81 a trip, whele Moses
had re ceived about one cent and
one-eighth trip, or 1912 for a
year OF 312 thirty mile trips. Then
the Hon. Adlai E. Steve nsop, as
acting postm aster general, issued an
official proclamation declaring
Moses Pendergrass a defaulter on
his 81 contract with the govern
ment; and the sixth auditor of the
treasury ciphered out the govern
ment's claim for damages against
Moses and his sureties. The exact
amount for which the government
of the United States held Moses
responsible was 81, 459. So.
Such is red tape. The claim of
the United States against the poor
faithful fellow was alive until 1890,
when it was graciousIy RENTED, or
compromised, on consideration of
the payment by Moses of 3 into
the United States treasury. Moses
paid his dollar, thereby parting
with about one quarter Of his entire
gross receipts tor nine months of
diligent work as government con-
tractor.
No way was ever discovered by
the authorities of the postoffice de-
partment to square accounts with
Moses Pendergrass on the basis of
equity and plain Justice to that in
nocent sufferer from the clerical
blunder of another man. He has
waited seven years for the money
which he honestly earned. A bill
to pay him for his nine months ser
vice in 1887 es, at the rate proposed
by the next lowest bidder in the
competition wherein he figured at
81 a year, has just been reported
favorably by the senate committee
on posto ffices.
We think most of our readers
will agree with us in the opinion
that the Moses Pendergrass bill
ought to pass. N Y. Sun.
