TAKING INCOMES.

Hills warm defence of Cleveland
has created great surprise and is
spoken of in way that would indi-
cate that these two distinguished
New Workers never agreed before.
They were together on the income
tax feature Of the tariff bill, both be.
ing opposed to 1.-THE difference be-
ing that Cleveland yielded to the
wishes of his party, while Hill con-
tinued to kick.
We fail to see how any Democrat,
actuated by the principles of the
party, can oppose this tax, which is
founded upon the just, Democratic
idea that every citizen should con-
tribute to the support of govern
ment in proportion to his ability to
pay for the protection which govern
ment gives him.
1t is fact, and a sad one, that
there are many people who derive
great benefits from the existence of
WIZ 0O AOG D0dI duy vi
it's burdens. The only way to reach
such people is by an income tax.
A license tax is not so just as an
income tax. Suppose, for example,
man goes into business and makes
no money the first year. He must
pay his license tax, but he would not
have to pay an income tax. One
can readily see that the latter tax is
just the reverse of an oppressive tax.
A real property tax is, likewise not
so just as an income tax, for if
man owns $4,000 worth of unpro-
ductive real estate, he must pay a
property tax, but he does not have
to pay an income tax.
The fact is that the income tax is
the fairest tax ever devised. 1t
spares the business man and the
farmer in seasons of depression.
Those who are fercest in denuncia-
ton of this tax are the tax-dodgers
and the men made rich by Republi-
can tariffs,

Invented the Plow.

Thomas Jefferson not only wrote
the Declaration of Independence and
founded the Democratic party, but
he invented the modern pillow. There
were plows, of course, thousands of
years before the time of the Sage of
Monticello, but he first laid down the
mathematical principles that under
lie the construction of the pillow and
so enabled any blacksmith to make
one. A pillow consists of two wedges
cutting and lifting wedge, and
Jefferson discovered and enunciated
the proportions of each and the re-
lations each bore to the other. Be.
fore his day no two smiths made
plows alike. Now they are all made
in accordance with a mathematical
formula.

If the Populists or Republicans

official somebody is ready to cast inn
putations upon the party loyalty OF
such official This practice is an un-
Just jumping at conclusions and
ought to cease. Because a rumor
gained currency that the proposed
fusion of Populists and Republicans
would endorse Judge Walter Clark
for Associate Justice, some busy
body refers to Judge Clark as q
"doubting Thomas" and intimates
that he is uncertain as to which NOM
nation he will accept-the Demo-
cratic or the fusion. This was q
little more than the Judge could sub
NIT to in silence. So, in Sundays
Charlotte Observer, he denies the
false insinuations and says, further /:
cat no time have been uncertain
in my views as to any matter of
public Importance. As a judge
thought propriety required that /
should take no active part in politi-
cal discussions, nor did / feel called
upon to rush into print whenever
newspaper correspondents attributed
to me views never entertained. 1t
is proper, however. to say, once for
all, that am not and have not been

nomination other than the Demo.
cratic nomination for the office

been questioned by those who know
me- There is no foundation what
ever for any assertion or surmise
connecting my name with any party
other than the one TO which I have
given my means and my time from
She first ballot cast"
This evidence of Judge Clark's
fidelity ives not needed by those en-
joying familiar acquaintance with
him. Let US hope, however, that his
frank and positive statements will
silence the tongue of Islander as far
as he is concerned and cause those
who are disposed to act hastily in
such matters to be more careful in
the future.

Nine Rules for Husbands.

By a Wlfe.l
Always come home good-tempered,
leaving business cares behind, and
do not vent annoyances met with at
the Office on your wife and family.
Make yourself agreeable to your
wife and your friends, ard do not sit
glum all the evening looking utterly
bored.
Be lenient to your wife's faults, and
do not expect perfection until you
have first become perfect yourself
Be punctual at meals. Remember
a cook cannot keep dinner waiting
without it's being spoiled. Do not
expect each of your servants to have
two pairs of hands.
Do not expect your wife to keep
accounts, unless you keep your own
correctly.
Dress as well and neatly as your
means will allow, and be careful not
to get your best trousers wet, as
baggy knees are what no woman can
respect.
Be as kind and attentive to your
wife as you were before your marriage,
and remember she has no pipe to
comfort her.
| When your liver is out of order
remember food cannot be palatable
therefore do not grumble and turn
| over on your plate what your wife
| has provided for you as if it were not
| fit to eat.
