a STRANGE MErAMoRPHos1s.

No more curious transformation is
presented in the Whole history of polit-
zeal organizations than is that which
has come over the Republican party,
and which becomes apparent when its
purposes today are cOntrasted with
those it ayoWed in the first years of its
existence. In these days of political
disintegration, when men are recasting
their political opinions. and forming
them new Oh broader lines and deeper
foundations, it is worth while to note
this change and its progress.
1t was in the aspiration of men for
freedom: that the Republican party
found its being. 1t was the crstalliza-
ton in political movement of that aspi-
ration. Humanity rebeIled against the
spectacle of republic tolerating the
enslavement of human beings within
its borders. The idea that any man
should have the power to appropriate to
himself the labor of a fellow man, to
own the man, to have legal right to buy
him and sell him. was abhorrent to that
spirit of individualism which for centu-
ries had battled with privilege for ever
larger measures of freedom for man.
kind.
The appeal of the young party was to
the moral sense, the conscience of the
nation. While avowing a purpose not
to disturb slavery i'll the states, it op-
posed its extension to the territories.
While willing to let it remain where
established; while, in the dark DAYS lust
before secession, offering to safeguard
the peculiar institution" in the states
by constitutional provision, its whole
argument was condensed in the SEN
tence, Slavery is wrong" While plat
forms halted, argument went directly
to the only logical end. All along the
line, in press, on the stump, III the pull
pit, slavery itself was attacked and de-
nounced as cruel, monstrous wrong.
In its essence why was it wrong? Be
cause it denied men freedom to sell their
labor where they would, and fully enjoy
its fruits. The man who labors has a
right. inherent and inallenable, to the
products of labor. Who owns the labor
owns the man. and no man should be
permitted to own either. The slogan of
the young party was instinct with

THE INCOME raY

A friend of the GLOBE sends US the
following note of inquiry:
Editor GLOBE: Some weeks ago |
got the impression from reading your
paper that you were opposed to the in
come tax. Last week gentleman
asked Inc to name Democratic paper
that was opposed to the income tax, and
named the GLOBE. He now points to
the editorial columns of your PAPER to
show ME that was mistaken. l claimed
that an income tax was not good Demo-
cratic doctrine, and referred him 10 the
position they took on the question dur
ing the war. | would like you to show
III an editorial the objections to all in
come tax from Democratic stand
point: whether or not it is class legisla-
ton, and also the stand they took Oh it
during the war, and oblige
DEMOCRATIC DAILY READER.
The GLOBE has been of the opinion,
and is of the opinion still, that all income
tax is Just and proper, and as Demo
cratic" as any other tax. 1t has, how
ever, acknowledged the difficulties that
lie i'll the way of the imposition and
collection of this tax. 1t has insisted,
and demonstrated from our former eX-
perience with il. that those who receive
the largest incomes do not pay the
heaviest tax, but that the honest men
with moderate incomes bear the burden,
while dishonest men in receipt of large
profits from business or investments
escape their just share of taxation by
falsely swearing to their returns. 1t is
impossible for ali assessor to know the
truth or falSlty of a return. He must
place implicit reliance upon the affidavit
or affirmation accompanying it. He
cannot 'go behind the returns as he
can i'll the case of assessments on real
estate or personal property, for a mans
money income is often intangible to any
one but himself. 1t is a secret which he
jealousy and properly guards for his
own protection. Because of this fact
the income tax places a premium on
perjury.
Under Our present system of govern
ment 1t is impracticable to collect a tax
upon incomes, even though there may
be no question as to its fairness. And
this is the reason for the seeming incon-
sistency of the GLOBE, which is not
inconsistency at all. 1t is simply an
acknowledgment of undisputed and in
disputable facts that the income tax is
the most equitable of all taxes in theory,
but the most Ubiquitous in practice.

CUI BONO?

Bob Ingersoll detained before a
large audience at the Metropolitan
Opera house last night, taking for his
text "Some of the Mistakes of Moses"
AS an orator aud word-painter Mr..
lngerSoll is a success, but as public
teacher he is 4 dismal failure. He is
wOrse-he is a positive damage TO the
public mind. and the world would be
better If he had never been born.
The truth or falSities of his theories

the world better or more civilized it is

work of the churches which is the re-
Sralnlng influence upon society.

argument, that the Bible is a clumsy
mythology. Its teachings, in the main,
are in the line of making men and
women better for its existence. Go far

after, no heaven or hell. the feeling or
belief that this life is the alpha and
omega Of existence, once accepted by
the world at large. would destroy civil
iZation and relegate mankind to the
status of beasts.
The belief in the Christian religion is
the safeguard of society, and the man
who endeavorS to break down religious
barriers is public enemy.
Death is, at the best. leap in the
dark, but the general belief that death
is the end of all things would lead to
recklesSnesS in life which would de-
stroy home and society.
lngersolFs diatribes do not elevate
They de6ase. The GLOBE does not
assume piety or the role of religious
teacher, but it recognizes the moral
effect of religious teachings upon a
community, whether there is any real
foundation or not for the existence of
religion.
While Mr.lngersolPs determinations put
money in his purse, they inflict an in
jury upon every community where they
are uttered.

JUMPING DOWN HIS THROAT.


The remarks of Bob Ingersoll at the
editorial banquet at Minneapolis Thurs
day night were curious contradiction.
After complimenting the profession
upon the fact that they tended to de-
stroY provincialism, he proceeded to ex-
plain how breaking down the barriers
of proviDcialism tended to develop
civilization. Commerce was the great
means of enlightenment. Business re-
lations between countries, bringing
them closer to each other, developed
civilization, prevented wars and had
general humanizing influence.
In the next breath he urged that this
country should buy and sell entirely at
home. That our prosperity and adj
vaRcement depended upon manufacture
ing all articles of consumption, no mat
ter what the cost to the consumer.
The Chinese wall which he would
erect was far higher than that which
once surrounded the Celestial empire.
He would out-tariff the tariff, and make
the United States community of trad
erS with itself.

which man can jump down his
