If you have an idea that the New York
Sun is thoroughly pleased with the Dem
ocratic program at Washington as out
lined by Senator Voorhees, you should
read the following from recent issue:
Senator Voorhees, estimates that the
Wilson bill with the income tax will
yield revenue sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the government, and furnish
besides an ANIMAL surplus of $4,000, 600.
He estimates that the income tax will
produce S3O, 1000, 900 annually. By economy
the government could certainly sive
100000 a year in its expenditures; and
then every cent of the taxes on incomes
could be devoted to the accumulation Of
surplus Here, then, in nutshell space,
is the proposed outrage: An un-Demo
cratic, un-Anerican, damnable tax ON q
few for the purpose of piling up in the
treasury Surplus which the many do
not need"

The Income Tax.

&' @ANSs AoAs
The attempt which those
who oppose the income tax
are making to fire the North
ern heart against the South
by declaring that it is Il sec
tional measure proposed by
the South as against t h e
North, is easily met. The in.
come tax was not brought
forward in the democratic
platform two years ago, but
was in the Weaver platform.
1t was of Western rot South
ern origin. 1t was proposed
by the Western people. In our
financial condition, the South
has approved it,and has urg
ed it's adoption. 1t is a just.
proper and wise measure and
those who object to it are ac-
tuated in large part by self
ish consideration.
The N. Y. Sun, the Evening
Post and other sn:h papers
are qnoted as saying that If
il passes, that N. Y. State
will send a solid republican
delegation to the next Con-
gress. Those papers may be
prophets and New York may
do as they predict. But il
not, it will be because the
democrats do pass the In
come tax. The only nope to
prevent republican successes
is the passage Of that act.
Those pa pers represent
measures and ideas which
have already wrecked I b :
democratic party North. The
party was wrecked t h ere
months ago. 1t was wrecked
there before the income tax
was heard Of in Congress. 1t
was wrecked by those papers
and the men and the ideas
that those papers represent
ed; and now it is audacity it.

evade the responsibility oi

their action and throw the
burden on the south.
The finnncial measure oi

From our Regular Correspondent,

President Cleveland wa =
very much surprised when he
learned, from a local paper,
that there were people ignor-
ant enough to suppose it
to be his duty to issue some
sort Of a proclamation in
connection with the coming,
OF Coxes's so-called army.
Every person OF sufficient in
telligence to read the Consti-
tuition OF the United States
should know that the Presi
dent has no more authority
to issue a proclamation con
cerning the coming OF these
men into the District OF Col
umbia than he had to issue
IA proclamation dealing with
their starting from the State
OF Ohio, or their passage
h g h the States OF
Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Mary land, just as those
states have, and until that
government shall notify the
President OF it's inability to
deal with the expected unwel-
come visitors the President
has no authority to fake any
exception, even were he DIS
posed to think any necessary.
