THE INCOME TAX.
Tho Preliminary Work for Its Enforce
ment Being Rapidly Perfected.

meuk nelhb 1edpiuAg
WASHINGTON, D. c., November A.
The work preliminary to carrying into
effect the new income tax law is going
forward as rapidly as its nature will
permit, under the direction OF Mr.. Will
liam Ii. Pugh, who In October last was
appointed Superintendent Of the Income
Tax.
A number Of complications and inter
esting questions having arisen under
former laws and anticipating that ques-
tious will arise in the future OF equal
Importance, il is essential for their
solution, TO understand what has beer
the former legislation of Congress, the
decisions Of the court and the rulings or
the department upon the'subject Of the
income tax. With this view, Mr.. PHgh
has been occupied since his appointment
In examining and preparing digest OF
the court decision and the department
ruling curtsied under their respective
headings. He has also prepared COM
parison OF all the former laws upon the
income tax, arranged so that all the
provisions heretofore made upon the
subject shall appear properly grouped,
aud anyone at glance can see the vari-
Gus changes and notifications that have
taken place.
There have been severaI acts upon
the subject OF income tax. The first
was passed August 5, 1861. Under this
act, however, nothing was done. The
act failed to provide many provisions
contained in the subsequent legislation,
both as 10 the subjects Of taxation and
the methods Of collection. These were
provided for in subsequent acts. The
second was passed July l, 1862;
the third act June 80, 1894; the fourth
act March 3, 1868: the fifth act March
2, 1867 Under the first act, eight hun
dred dollars was the amount reserved
from taxation, and the rate OF tax was
five per cent on ali sums over that
amount. Under the act of July 2, 1862,
the amount reserved from taxation
were as follows: If the income exceed.
ed six hundred dollars and did
not exceed ten thousand dollars,
a duty OF three per centum
on the amount above six hundred dollars;
il said income exceeded the sum Of ten
thousand dollars, a duty Of five per
centum upon the amount exceeding six
hundred dollars. Under the third act
six hundred dollars was exempted and
the duty was five per cent. on the excess,
under the fourth and fifth acts one
thousand dollars was free from taxation
aud the amount Of tax was five per cent.
on the amount in excess Of that amount.

DETeCRlrSI BERIRH IN The FAITH.

You all remember the business
paralysis occasiOned by the iniquitOus
Mckinley Tariff and The just rebuke
overwhelmingly administered the
Republican party at the two elections
following its adoption. The Wilson
Tariff has beena Iawbut two months.
The evidences Of increasing prosper
ity are daily becoming more conspic-
uous, and promises TO surpasS in
volume OF business that OF any pre-
Ceding era. Factories and workshops
are reslming operations all around
US. Do not nov lose confidence in
the Democratic promise Of beneficial
results to follow the adoption OF a
reform tariff.
A vote for Republican success is a
vote toward a return 10 the former
high tariff, and consequent unsettled
commercial conditions and business
depression.
Democrats and refOrmers,
Do not iaIter.
Do your whole duty toward the
cause of Tariff Reform.
Vote for PROSPERITY TO kMERI-
CAN INDUSTRIES.
Be firm in the faith that is in you.

TALKING THROUGH BIS HAT.

Chairman Joe Manloy Is Claiming
Everything in sight FOR the RepuD-
liCans.
New YORK, November 4.-Mr. Jos.
II. Mauley. Chairman of the Republican
National Executive Committee, gave
out az interview at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel to-day. In 10 be says that
wherever an election has occurred
during the last five months, wheth-
er ia Oregon, Vermont, Alabama,
Maine, Georgia or in Connecticut, the
result has been the same. That is, the
drift and trend has all been from the
Democratic aud % the Republican party
and the cause be says is 70 be found in
the dissatisfaction OF the people with
the present Democratic administration.
After setting forth several acts Of the
Democratic party, which, 10 his Opin-
ion, have tended TO produce this diSsat-
isiactiou, MIR. Marley continues:
at is no prophecy 70 assert that the
Republicans will carry the majority Of
the Congressional delegates in twenty
six States out of the iOrty-fOur, and thus
have a clear majority OF the States IN
the next House OF Representatives,
which will end an effort 10 the Presi-
Dental eleCtioa Of 90, Of an attempt TO
throw the election Of President and
Vice President into the House.
IL is reasonably assured that the Re-
publicans will organize the next House
Of Representatives, having a majority
varying from ten 20 twenty-five. All
indications point TO the defeat Of Mr..
Springer, OF Illinois, Holman, in Indi-
ana. and Wilson, ia West Virginia, and
Hill, Ia New York
1.-The Democrats will lose, after the
fourth Of March next, their ascendency
in the United States Senate"

Thank God there is yearninG de-

This desire is particularly manifest In
the English speaking world.
at is manifested in England and in
the United States. /, myself, have re-
celved several letters from Influential
Protestant ministers, expressing the
hope OF a reunion and inquired as to the
probable basis of a reconciliation. Re-
union is the great desire Of my
heart. l have longed and prayed for ii
during all the wears of my ministry.
have prayed that as we are bound to
our brethren by social and family, and
by natural aud commercial ties, so may
we be united with them In the bonds OF
a common faith.
The conditions of reunion are easier
than are generally imagined. OF course,
there can be no compromise on faith or
morals. The doctrine and moral code
that Christ has left Us must remain un-
changeable. But the Church can mod
ify her discipline to suit the cIrcum-
stances of the case.
May the day be FASTENED when the
scattered hosts Of Christendom will be
reunited. Then, indeed, they would
form an army which infidelty cannot
long resist and they would soon
carry the light aud faith OF Christian
civilization TO the most remote and be-
nighted part of the globe. May the day
soon come when all who profess the
name Of Christ may have one Lord, one
faith, aud one baptism; then all shall be
in one fold under one shepherd"
