A BENEFICIENT MEASURE.

The Importance of the income tax
provision of the new tariff law is not
sufficiently appreciated by many peo-
pie in this part of the country. 1t will,
in connection with the reductions in the
rates of duty upon articles of common
necessity, greatly relieve the toiling
classes and place the burden taken from
them upon shoulders far more able than
they to bear it.
The tax of two per cent per annum
on incomes of $4,000 and upwards, is
based on the principle that the expenses
Of government should be paid in greater
proportion by those who receive the
larger measure of it's benefits and who
have the greater resources at command.
The reduction of the tariff, it is claim
ed by Republicans, will cause shrink
age in. the revenue and that is urged as
an objection. But that will be met to
great extent by the receipts from the
income tax, and the rich will contribute
directly a large amount of what was
formerly extorted indirectly from the
poor.
The fact that this just reform was
anu Is opposed Dy the ftepuDllcdn parry,
ought to be understood by the masses
of the people. 1t forms additional evil
dence to that afforded by the protec-
ton and bounty methods to prove that
Repubhcanism is favorable to the mil
lionaires at the expense of the millions;
| that it legislates for the fortunate and
| against the unfortunate; and that it's
III ~,
the multitude and the enrichment of the
few.
The income tax feature of the tariff
law is one of its great recommendations
to the vast body of the people of the
United States. And while the rich and
prosperous may kick against it, the
great majority of the population ought
to rejoice in its enactment, and show
their appreciation of its benefits by sup
porting at the polls the Democratic
| party which has carried it to success in
the face of powerful opposition.

COMFORT FOR REpUBLrcANs.

Some ten days ago the Republicans
OF this town were very much distressed
because the Chief Justice refused to
compel the County Registrar to furnish
them with lists of the voters. The allie
cations they made were enough to
have sunk a ship, had they been true.
They were not true and they did not
even attempt to offer evidence in sup
port of them. Since they failed to get
what they wanted they have been very
sore and have felt that the judiciary
was grossly partisan, mainly because
they could not use it for partisan pur-
poses. But they are very sore as we
have said and to place balm upon
this sore is our purpose. We desire to
do this just because of the abundance
Of charity we have; and what is more
needing of charity than a disgruntled
and disheartened Republican campaign
committee? We proceed 10 apply cur
balm.
No one will accuse the officials of
Philadelphia of being anything else
than Republican. Now the Republican
city controller Of that city has charge
of the poll tax list. Some two weeks
ago the Democratic executive commit
tee appointed Subcommittee to see
whether Controller Thompson would
allow them to inspect the list of those
who had paid the poll tax, in order that
the committee might have an authentic
list of the legalized voters. What did
Controller Thompson do? According to
our local Republicans he should have

THAT "BALANcEv ONCE MORE.

Last winter a Democratic speaker
called attention to the fact shown by
government statistics that there is
something wrong in the Republican
theory of the balance of trade" That
theory is that it is good to export much
and import little, SO as to receive the
balance" in gold and silver.
Statistics show that for the nineteen
years ending 1891, our exports Of mer-
chandise had exceeded our imports of
merchandise by $3.50, 1896, TAP. This ex-
cess, the Republicans said, had been
paid to us in gold and silver. But upon
looking into the record, it appeared
that instead Of receiving this balance
in gold and silver our exports of these
metals had also exceeded our imports
by 1854, 342, IA
1t seemed important to the Repub-
lican campaign committee that these
facts be answered. Accordingly, in a
paid advertisement the committee in
serted the reply that "the Mckinley
bill had remedied that" l. e., that the
balance" was being returned in gold
and silver. But we now have the rec
ord for the Mckinley bill also, and here
it is for the three years:

AT the same time, the Republican
committee proclaims that s'the McKin-

Once again we ask the Republican
leaders to retract their misstatement,

ments in favor of the Republicans, says
at is no exsggeration to say that not since
war times has such an audience as
sembled in any hall within the limits of the
city of New York" 1t states that "fully
ten thousand persons were shut out of the
meeting place." and of the enthusiasm dis
played it says that nothing like it has been
seen here since Blaine spoke for Garfield.
can impressive incident, and one which
seemed to set the audience wild with de-
light, was the appearance in a prominent
place on the platform of Archbishop Ire
land. He was accompanied by Bishop Nc

one of the thousands who could not
get into the building, though he came half
an hour before the time of the meeting,
showed his box ticket in vain to the pow
erless policemen, and "prowled around the
building for fifteen minutes as other men
were prowling," at last driving back to the
hotel. Fortunately, Archbishop Ireland
with others had arrived earlier and "were
squeezed in by strong policemen. These
statesments by newspapers decidedly not
Republican give an idea of the wonderful
gathering.

NobIv Humane Work.

Frank B. Fay, secretary OF the Mas
sachusetts society for the prevention OF
cruelty to children, spoke last week in Bos-
ton on 1.-THE Suffering 1rnocents of Bos-
ton" He said that the work of the society
had been going on for Is years, and that
during that time &C. 600 children had passed
through its hands.
Children had some rights, and the So
cety enforced the law for the protection OF
the children. Neglect caused as much suf-
fering to children as whipping. The So
ciety put in force the non-support law and
compelled fathers to maintain their child
rem and not waste their wages in drink.
They did not interfere in domestic troubles,
but they secured the support of the child
rem.
In speaking of the various forms OF
cruelty to children, Mr.. Fay exhibited a
number of ugly looking cat-o'-nine-tails
seized by the society. He said that he had
seen a girl whose shoulders were bruised
by the bow and buckle of these fearful
instruments.
The severest cruelty, he was sorry to say
was practiced on children by illtempered,
vicious women. Men were brutal while in
a fierce passion or under the Influence OF
drink, but women, he found, were dehb-
erately cruel to their children.
He told of mothers who put the hands OF
their children on hot stove, and of others
who put hot poker into their children's
mouths, to punish them. and he had seen
number of young girls, black and blue from
tbeir shoulders to their hips, by the cruelty
of their mothers.
Such cases were not confined to the city
but were frequently met with in the coun-
try.
Mr.. Fay said, in answer to a question,
that of nearly 1000 children year taken
charge of by the society, two-thirds of the
cases were the result of the use of strong
drink
