kind imported from countries other than

The speech of Senator Smith, of New Jer-

the proposed income tax as undemocratic.
unconstitutional, unfair. unwise and al
together a perncious kind of legislation.
He devoted more space to the subject than
Senator Hill did, and made stronger argu-
ment One point which he presented very
forcibly was that the proposed tax was a
sop to socialism and anarchy. He called
attention to the fact that it was not the
Democratic platform that demanded an in
come tax, but the platform of the socialist
party. and that the adoption of the idea
by the Democratic iarty was distinct
concession to the socialistic programme
and the growing spirit of communism.

Under favoring conditions the price of
wheat will doubtless advance somewhat
above present quotations. but 1t is not
likely we shall see dollar wheat until
extended period Of low prices shall
have driven farmers somewhat out Of the
wheat business, or until war in Europe
or an extraordinary failure in crops. or
some other special occurrence has cut off
a part Of the product. In recent years
there has been a great increase Of the
wheat-producing area throughout the world
and a great decrease in the cost Of produc-
ing it, due TO improved mechanical APP
planes. There has also been a marked
increase in the number and quantity Of
other foods which can be substituted for
wheat. All these causes work together to
keep the price down, and they operate so
continuously and effectively that it is idle
TO expect much OF a rise in wheat without
a material change in present conditions.
