The Income Tax in 1870.

From the Chattanooga Times DEM
The Senate of the United States
having before it a bill to repeal the
income tax law of 1862, on June
%, 1870, Senator John Sherman
said: "Here we have in New York
Mr.. Astor with an income of mil
lions derived from real estate, ac-
cumulated year after year by the
mere family pride of accumulations,
and We have alongside of him a poor
man receiving 81 900 a year. What
is the discrimination of the law in
that case? 1t is altogether against
the poor man. Everything
that he consumes we tax, and yet
We are afraid to tax the income OF
Mr.. Aston. Is there any justice in
it? Why, sir, the income tax is
the only n that tends to equalize
these burdens between the rich and
the loor." Now Senator Sherman
opposes the income tax proposed,
that will collect about $50, OO0 900,
whereas the tax of 1872 gathered in
as high as $73,00O,O 900 in one year,
from a people that could less afford
to pay hal than our rich men can
now afford to pay $15O,0OO,O 900.
Mr.. Senator Morrill,, of Vermont,
was equally strong in opposition to
the repeal of that tax, in 1870, with
Senator Sherman. The Secretary
of the Treasury, Hon. George S.
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts; the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
David A. Wells of Connecticut, were
strong advocates of the tax. Nearly
all of these, then eminent Republi-
cans, wanted the tax made a per-
manent part of our revenue system.
The tax those Republican states
men then sought to renew and make
q steady thing OF, levied 21a per
cent on all incomes above $4,000 a
year. The onerous income tax of
1870 was abolished by one majority
against it In the Senate and one ma.
jority against it in the House. Con-
| gress was then more than three
fourths Republican. The only New
Englander who made a strong fight
against it was Senator buckingham,
from Connecticut. While we are
not an advocate of the income tax
now, we still think it may be well
that the people should not be al
lowed to forget the history of the
old tax, and tine relations of persons
and parties thereto. We especially
protest that the bowling of certain
eastern editors and politicians, to
the effect that the levy is populistic
in character is nonsense, worse
still simnla folcabood

Held For urder.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Aug. 4.-The
examination of Thomas Gillaspy for
killing Bernard McNutt, July Is,
was concluded by Judge Pratt at a
late hour yesterday evening, and
the prisoner was held for murder in
the second degree. Judge Pratt
decided that a bond of $1,000 was
not excessive, and Gillaspy was re
manded to Jail until the bond could
be secured and approved.
This lends a new feature to the
case, for it means that the case will
no be tried in Boone county. Al
most every citizen within ten miles
of Columbia has attended the trial
of the now celebrated case. The
preliminary examination has cost
the county several hundred dollars,
and the trial in court promises TO be
one of the costliest ever held in
Boone county.

THE Kansas City Star. referring to
the late overwhelming Democratic
victory in Alabama, says:
During the contest for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of
Alabama that ''strong anti-Cleve-
land sentiment" of which one hears
so much, was concentrated against
Mr.. Oates, who was the personal
friend OF the President, and was in
some Way-nobody knows exactly
how-snpposed TO represent him.
Mr.. Oates was easily nominated.
Then it was loudly declared that he
would be overwhelmingly defeated
at the polls, and that Alabama
would gladly take opportunity to
| show its dislike Of the Administra-
ton. According to reports to-day,
| Mr.. Oates seems to have had Il
pretty easy time of it all around.
This Is usually the way Of it. The
politicians are loud in their boasts
! of the manner in which they are go
ing to defeat and humiliate the
President and his followers, but
when the matter is left to the people
Tor arbitration Mr.. Cleveland comes
out on top.

We hope the editors OF the State
will get down to business at their
meeting at Crowley next week.
Let no papers Or eubjects be dis
cussed other than of benefit to the
craft. Literary papers, while very
nice in their way, and of credit to
their authors, ought not to be coun-
tenanced at a meeting of this kind.
We should meet solely for BUSINESS,
and nothing else. We are of the
opinion that at former gatherings
there was too much time devoted to
sociability. We like the social
features as much as any of the
brethren, a dance or o banquet, but
let US devote more of our time to
matters that will profit US, and we
will come home wiser, and will feel
proud that we have attended such a
meeting.
