So the burden Of almost every populist

Of the farmers, too, but not all. have be
come impressed with the idea that their
condition would be bettered If the gov,
eminent owned the roads and had in its
service a great army Of employees whose
votes might be used by the party bosses
to perpetuare their power. Recently the
Farmers Alliance Of Georgia sent to
Senator Butler a demand. among others,
that he would pledge himself to govern
ment ownershIpof telegraphs. telephones
and railroads. The senator's reply con
tains some admirable points. He SAYS
that in his opinion such a policy would
be impolitic and unwise. He had always
understood that the Alliance was op-
posed 10 the increase Of the bonded debt
of the government. but he reminded
them that Ae government could not
pay cash for the 10000 miles Of rail
roads and the vast mileage Of telegraph
and telephones without imposing d rate
Of taxation that would destroy the PEG
pie. The only alternative would be to
issue eight billions Of bonds to buy the
railroads and nobody knows how many
millions to buy the telegraphs and tele-
phones Of the country. He asked if the
Alliance was prepared to urge the crea
ton Of snch a bonded debt upon the
present and future generations, and
thereby perpetuate the national bank
ing system indefinitely.
The senator adds that the ownership
Of railroads in despotic governments is
justified on the ground that they are
military necessities for the rapid mobil-
ization and transportation Of armies. 1t
has not, however. redounded to the
benefit Of the people, for freight rates
are fifty per cent higher in those coun-
fres than in this, and they are conse-
Quently a greater burden upon the
masses Of the poop e.

The IncQme Tax Would Not Pay.
Phila. Record.

fhila. tecOFu.
Mr.. Washington q. Ford, chief of
the Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department, has COM
piled Il statement showing the pos
sible revenue under the income
tax as provided for in the Tariff
bill amended by the Senate. The
deduction which Mr.. Ford reaches
from his figures is "that the reve-
nue. from private incomes will be
small, and will hardly cover the
cost of collection; and that the
revenue from corporations may
reach $4,000, 900, but is more likely
to be nearer $4,000, ,OOO."
Such q showing from an authen-
tic source should seal the fate of
the income tax project, It would
be the height of midsummer mad
ness to impose q tax which, SO far
rs human foresight can discern at
this time, would scarcely reimburse
the Government for the cost of its
collection. The only argument
which has been made for the taxa
ti0n Of incomes has been the plea
Of the necessity Tor raising addi-

tional revenue. That argument
was badly shattered when the sen.
ate semi-McKinleyized the Wilson
rates; and it is now practically de-
molished by the Treasury Depart
ment's figures. The clear moral
to be deduced from these is that
there is no longer any honest rea.
son for maintaining the income
tax as Il portion of the tariff bill,
and, such being the case, it ought
to be dropped out at the earliest
opportunity, since the practical eff.
feet of its enactment would be to
make berths for q standing army
of tax .gatherers whose gathering
would be principally on their own
account.

ducting. If the poor boy from the
street or the farm comes forward
and wants to learn trade, in nine
cases out of ten he will find the
door closed against him and he
will be told that no more appren-
tices will be admitted in that

the individual man is curtailed on
every side, and trusts and monopo-
lies and barriers of some kind lie
across the path of his liberties and
his rights.

WHATEVER responsibility the
Senate may or may not be willing
to take,the Democrats of the House
cannot afford to defeat the Tariff
bill in disagreement on the sugar
schedule. Although not what the
old friends of Tariff Reform had a
right to expect, the Senate bill is
much better in the sugar schedule
and. in every other schedule, in
fact-than the Mckinley tariff. 1t
is much better, too, in the sugar
schedule than the original Wilson
bill reported by the Ways and
Means Committee, with it's one
quarter of cent a pound duty on
refined sugar, and no revenue for
the Government. The Democratic
members of the Committee of Con-
ference who voted for that sched-
ule surely have no reason to be
squeamish over the Senate bill.
What the Sugar Trust desires above
everything is to retain the McKin-
ley tariff, with its guarantee of $780,
100000 of yearly subsidy to it's
swollen monopoly. With all its
faults, the sugar schedule in the
Senate bill is better than anything
that has been offered on this SUBJ
ject, and therefore, it ought to be
passed.

A GROWING CAUSE.
4 Popular Vote would Bring Free
silver NOw-Gen. Warner Speaks
of Progress.

Denver, Aug. 11.-Gen. A. j. Warner,
president of the Americas Bimetallic lea
que, is IN the city consulting with leaders
in the silver cause.
"The agricultural population of the
country" said he, sis with US, and if a
popular vote could be taken silver would
be restored to its rightful position"
"What ls the outlook for the white
metal!" was asked.
"If the silver producing states stand
together" was the prompt reply, "we will
have free coinage IN three years. The
OBJ ject of my trip to the west was to con-
suit with persons interested in bimetal-
lism and explain the situation as it ap-
pears in the east. l came west at the
invitation of Byron Shear, who has been
greatly interested in the work of the bl-
metallic league and has actively sup
ported it in many ways. What the hour
demands is union of the silver produc-
ing states in the cause of free coinage
80 that their energies may not be lost by
operating in different directions. The
influence of half dozen states is far
greater when centered in one direction
than when extended in no common pur-
pose. If six or seven states in the silver
region of the west will unite and elect
no man to office who is not a pronounced
friend of free coinage, the victory in con
gress is sure to be won in the early flu
ture."
Gen. Warner also said that every effort
is being made by the gold interest to
divert the attention of the people from
the main issue. At Washington the Lon
don money lenders have established a
bureau which is attempting to educate
the voters to believe that bimetallism can
be secured only through consent of the
nations of Europe. The bureau is send
ing out agents to the principal cities of
the west to endeavor by plausible argu-
ments to draw silver men into the cause.
1t is claimed that one of the representa-
tives of the single gold standard is now
in Denver. Gen. Warner believes that
the United States is big enough to handle
the sub ject without advice from Lombard
street.
The tariff and the European confererc ce
are looked upon by Gen. Warner us
dangers which threaten the very life of
the silver movement.
AS to the bimetallic league Gen. War
ner says it is steadily at work distributing
silver literature, although lack of funds
has proven great hindrance. More than
100000 applications for pamphlets are
now on file at the headquarters of the
| league, which can not at present 9 filled.
| The league has sent out over 100000
documents and is recognized as the prin-
cipal disseminator of information on the
free coinage of silver to be found in the
world.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Coxeyites Gal
whites and associates, called industrials,
who were camping at Rosslyn, were
driven from Virginia at daylight this
morning by the militia. Their huts were
burned and the men driven on the bridge
leading into the District of Columbia.
1t was decided that the police should take
charge of the industrials and escort them
to some suitable place, most probably
Georgetown, until arrangements could be
made for shipping them west. Meantime
they remain on the bridge.

Coroner at Work.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 11.-Coroner Grim
is holding an inquest over those who
perished in the Rock Island wreck Thurs
day night. Col. Bells, the most important
witness examined stated that he saw a
man standing around, but he does not
know whether he was white or black.
One of the Ryan boys who saw the man
on the track with crowbar called at the
police station to see Davis. He thought
that he was the man but was not
positive. The detectives are confident
of Davis guilt and no one is allowed to
see him.
