New York and the Income Tax


New York and the Income Tax.
The fact that all the New York
congressman are on record as op-
posed to an income tax has been
cited as proof that New York is
against it. 1t simply proves, how
ever, that small but noisy minority
among the constituents of these con.
gressmen, whose wealth and social
position make them prominent, are
using their IL II uence to concentrate
attention upon their protests, which
they present in chorus and call pub
lie opinion.
There is no such unanimity of
sentiment as this attitude of the
New York congressman would seem
to indicate. In addition to those
whose self-interest impels them to
oppose an income tax, there are
some whose ignorant prejudices
have been aroused, and others
whose toadyism to wealth is in.
grained and congenital. These are
numerous enough in the aggregate
to alarm timid congressman when
their voices are raised in unison.
But they are very far indeed from
being a majority of our citizens.
They are, In fact, small minority,
aud there is practically no doubt
that if the question of an income tax
were submitted to the voters of
either New York City or New York
state, or of both of them, it would
be carried in the affirmative by and
overwhelming majority. Even the
rank and file of Tammany Hall
would vote for it, in spite of Boss
Croker's whip.crscking.
The World believes that an in
come tax s not only right in prin.
ciple but politically expedient. 1t
is estimated that less than one
hundred thousand persons will be
called upon to pay tax under the
measure proposed by the ways aud
means committee, yet that measure
fixes the limit lower than il should
be. If every one of these persons
who is a Democrat should desert
the party by reason of the tax the
fleet would be tritling, while if the
issue We're squarely raised and met
the gain of votes by the party
standing for the tax would be
counted by tens Of thousands This
is as true Of Now York as of the
rest OF the country New York
World.

During the revolutionary war 3
British officer wished to communi-
cate with General Washington rela.
tive to some matters connected with
the army which General ashington
commanded. He wrote his com
munication and addressed it to
G. Washington, ESQ. The note
was returned to the writer un-
opened. A second note was written
and addressed somewhat more cere.
monlously, but still failing to use
the official title Of the American
general. The second, as the first,
was returned unopened. The
British officer then addressed a
note to General Washington, com.
manding the American forces, which
was received and answered. Chair.
man Baker will notice Mr. Matlock.
in his communication as published,
not only fails to address him as
chairman of the state Democratic
executive committee, but takes the
monopoly of that title upon him
self If the communication reaches
MIR. Baker in the same way it has
reached the papers, before receiving
it, he should, like the great Wash.
ington, see that it is properly ad.
dressed.

Thc PopuIiNts' Convention.

The Southern Passenger Association at
the ulecl.u- Wccn 2lanted cheap rates
to the convention Of the populists of Geor-
ga to be held on the 18th of next month.
This convention promises to be one OF
great Importance to the peoples party of
this state, and certainly Will be one of much
interest to the general public.
The purpose OF TIE convention IS TO Sc
lect candidates for gOYernor-to be placed in
the field against the democratic nominee.
There is all manner Of gossip concerning
the convention, and the probable candidate
to be selected to run on the gubernatoral
ticket. 1t is said that Colonel w. L.. Peek,
who was in the race for the pOpulists last
time wants to be chosen as the candidate
this year also, but there seems to be some
opposition to him among certain promi-
nent members of the party who will have
a hand in shaping its destnies in the COM
ing campaign.
\ great many of the leaders favor Tom
Watson as the candidate for the peoples
party to put in the field against the demo
cratic nominee, but he has announced
that he will run for no office this term It is
doubtful whether or not he will be the
man.
The convention will doubtless be largely
ATTENDED, owing to the cheap rates that have
heen allowed by the Southern Passenger
Association. 1t seldom occurs that the rail
roads give cheap rates to state political con-
Nentons, and this may be taken as a suf-
Hcient guarantee that the peoples party

Columbia, Tenn, March 29-Gentlemen
OF the Cotton States Exposition Committee:
Your decision in setting aside building
for colored exhibits only in the great expo
Siton at Atlanta, Ga, in the near future
IS one of the most significant signs that the
1eeIlhS between the two races is becoming
more and more traternal
To our minds nothing has occurred di1rinc,
ihe last quarter OF d century that pleased
us more.
Indeed, this is an omen mf better times
IN our IaIf ana sunny south and the bond
OF friendship between the two races will be
MADE len-1old stronger. Your ACTION gives
the brother in black a most 'opportuno
chance to show the products of his indus
tries, and this chance provided for and
given him by his brother N white.
10 the COlOred race this action on v0iIr
part is the brightest star in the galaxy of
hope. We assure you, Whatever is to he
done to enhance the value Of and make
more glorious this southland, we want to
have hand in it, For the bones of the
fathers of the white man and the black
man alike lie bieeChin9 in this southland;
therefore, it is halloWed and sacred to us
all. We desire to express our appreciation
and to assure you that we, the cOlored pco-
pie of Tennessee. stand ready to assist
Georgia to make the forthcoming cotton cX-
position d glowing success.

THE SOUTH SPEAKS.

PEOPLE GIVEN UP AS HELPLESS
Brought Back to Life and Health
Again by the Remarkable Healing
Powers of an Atlanta Physician.

From all sections of the south comes
testimony of the wonderful skill and sue
cess OF DR.. w. j. Tucker, of Atlanta.
Among the thousands of unsought for tes-
timonials concerning the doctors wonderful
healing power are the blowing: Mrs. y.
l.. Moulden, Port Gibson, Miss, says: II
went under DR.. fuckers treatment in 1890.
d helpless invalid after some of the lead
ing physicians of the south had given my
case up as hopeless and incurable. L went
to DR.. Tucker las last resort and when it
seemed to me that death was far prefera-
bic to life as | then suffered In three
months time he had me restored to health.
My cure is regarded by myself and friends,
and all who knew me, as little short of
miracle. Tongue cannot tell or pen pOr-
tray the mental and physical torture
endured previous to going to DR.. Tucker.
"To all suffering women 1 only say,
do not dspair, but do as l did; consult DR..
Tucker and L am sure you viii have no
reason to regret it,
Mrs. Josie Stephens, WaycrOss, Ga, says:
II went under DR.. fuckers treatment seven
years ago, after the best doctors in south
Georgia said l would die, that there was
absolutely no hope for me. None of my
nefghbors expected me to live a week and
I may say my death was hourly expected.
In two months time Or. Tucker had me
perfectly restored to health and [ have
been well ever since"
e. NJ. Pagan, Zeiglerville, Miss, says:
.Niy wife was restored TO health under the
treatment Of DIR. Tucker, after all others
had failed. She had long been an invalid
and given up all hopes Of being cured.
G. W. Sutherland, Vine Hill, Ala, was
for many months a terrible sufferer from
chronic dysentery and liberation of the
bowels; everything failed to relieve him
and he had dispaired Of getting well, as a
last resort he tried DR.. Tucker and the
result was a cure.
d. E. Dalrymple, TownviIle, 5. c., was
cured by Dr. Tucker six years ago OF
most distressing case of nervous dyspepsia
and is well today.
Miss Maggie McKeunon, Rockingham, N.
c.. a great sufferer for many months, never
got any relief until she tried DR.. Tucker.
Mrs. NJ. l.. Jones, Vernon, La, says
Or Tucker has had wonderful success IN
the treatment of my case"
Colonel Charles A. Dunwoody, Roswell
Ca. suffered for years; says he mas been
most wonderfully benefited under Dr. tuck

In that city during the pres

tenderness Of our courts in dealing with

they are now a terror TO the white in

for these people IS producing It's results
in the shape of harvest of crime. 1t
