TARIFF for revenue only" has
once more come prominently before
sand this time in manner to cause
reflection. 1t has drifted from the
simple quotation Of being part and
parcel OF the great Democratic plat
form, to that of which might be
plainly called, scandal, although it
was resurrected and brought to the
surface by Democratic Senators and
1T being under the present admin
istration Of reform, should 90 bv
unnoticed. We don't think because
one has gained the lofty office of a
United States Senator, that he has
a right to speculate in gambling on
the stock boards of Wall Street from
knowledge obtained through amend
ments Of a revision of the tariff.
W hyl Because it is evident. that
when one gets interested in such
populations, he is sure to neglect
the peoples interest in not doing
his duty for those who placed con
tidence in him by electing him to
represent them. We simply call
attention to this and will endeavor
to evade an explanation,
simply because this is not Repub-
lican Administration. However.
we are satisfied to let it drift for
those, who are to come after us, to
sltt the matter to the bottom, and
they may perhaps, render a true
account Of the different defamatorv
reports which emanate from Wash
ington, ID. G. Anyhow, the prac-
tice should be condemned by all
irrespective of partisan politics.
nevertheless, it is true that the tar
iff tink~ring has already caused a
revenue for some in personal way
by having secret knowledge of the
changes which have taken place
since the bill has got into the hands

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION;
S. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor

The Towns of Bonnerport and
Eaton are making preparations to
hold their annual election of officers.
1t is the duty of every citizen living
i'll their respective Village to come
out on election day and vote for
men whom they know will protect
their interests and promote har-
mony and strength in their mum
nicipality. If good men are not
elected, it is the fault of the people.
You should endeavor to see that
those whom you will place in office,
are not of the kind who are eternal
ly posing before the people for their
own personal gain and ambition,
creating strife and illfeeling by their
acts, theirby, causing your village
to remain in a state of quiescent
stagnation instead Of forging ahead
in a spirit Of progression.

Governor Mcconnell is determin-
ed to give his personal attention to
the Investigation of the charges pre-
ferred against Mine Inspector Has
kins. 1t will be remembered that
a great accident occurred in the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine a
short time ago, since which time,
charges were sent to the Governor
and Mr.. Haskins removal asked for.
The Governors method is approx
able and due consideration should
be given before acting too hastily
in all such matters. In our opin-
ion, we think that the Governor
will do the right thing when the
time comes, for he generally makes
no mistake in coming to conclu-
sion of such matters.

Senator Shoup has already intro

considerable fraud practiced along
the Mexican border in the sampling

the loser in the collection of revenue
at the same time. it was detri-

will put stop to these sampling
frauds and lead, at duty of Z a cent

of determining the lead contents of

The DEMOCRAT possesses none
but the most ardent desire for the
present welfare and future pros
perity of the Democratic party.
Believeing as we do that the future
of the party and the usefulness of
its principles to the people depends
largely on the course of it's chosen
leaders. We have believed it our
duty to criticize any course or
policy that does not approximate
it's pledges and promises. That
the course pursued thus far is not
meeting with the approval of the
people is very apparent. We have
only to look back to the recent
elections to convince ourselves of
their emphatic disapproval. Ifthe
condemnation is so plainly mani
tested by an attempt to carry out
certain policies, what must be the
result when that end is accomp.
lished. We have refrained from
the discussion of many things that
had been better left undone or diff
ferently done; but we think the
time has come when Democrats
should insist on course that viii
meet the approval of the party and
the people. A year has now pass
ed and four-fifths of the offices thai
should be occupied by Democrats
are still held by the Republicans
This condition should be reversed
with Jacksonian dispatch. The
long delay in this. matter has al
ready worked much injury to the
party.

UNIQUE LEGISLATION.

Since this legislation has let the
bars,doWn and gone into the utop-
ium and millennium business of re-
forming everything and everybody
there is nothing that escapes its
Argus eyes.
Siuce it has bills before it saying
who shall practice medicine and
who shall not, we presume it will
make enactments specifying who
shall he allowed to farm, who TO
run livery stables and what styles
of garments both males and females
shall wear.
The Cincinnati Times Star is a
very staid and conservative paper
and it says the following bills have
been prepared and will be introduce
ed this week into the Seventy-tirst
general assembly:
a bill regulating the price of put
ty and prohibiting sale of same to
minors.
A bill for the rehabilitation of
dingbats.
A bill providing penalties for
adulteration Of buttermilk.
a bill for the better protection of
night hawks in daytime.
A bill prohibiting dogs from howl

than Il. IN. in cities of 10000 or
more.
A bill to provide the state treasur-
er with one oreide, stem-winding

A bill to regulate the kissing of
poodle dogs by females.

readily offer their amendments to
the Tariff bill when 1t should come
up for open discussion; but they
would then be obliged to show their
hands as champions of monopoly
and special privileges. This is
what they are extremely anxious
to avoid; and they are endeavor-
ing, therefore, to coerce the sub
committee of the Committee on
Finance into a compliance with
their wishes and interests.
Chairman Voorhees,, some weeks
ago, truly declared that the country
is tired of tariff talk, and desires
that the Senate shall come down to
business. This was said in response
to the applications of some tariff
beneticiaries for more hearings be-
fore the Committee on Finance.
But since the parties in interest
have been summarily dismissed
sub-committee's doors have been
stormed by the Senatorial champ
ions of monopoly with such viol-
ence that its members have not
been able, in the conflict between
the public and private inte rests, to
adjust the details of the bill.
The way to solve the existing
difficulty is to bring out the bill,
and let it be amended in open SEN
ate. There is no want of confidence
in the good intentions, discretion
and fidelity of Chairman Voorhees,
and the other members of the sem
ate's subcommittee; but the peo-
pie are concerned to know who are
the Senators who parade in public
as advocates of Tariff Reform and
who work like moles. in the dark
to thwart the policy and purpose
of the Democratic party. There is
in the public mind a pretty thor
ough knowledge In regard to the
Democratic opponents of the Will
son bill and the interests that in
inspire them; but let them come
into the open field and proclaim
ground of their action. George NJ.
Dallas, Pennsylvania patriot and
statesman, gave the casting vote
in favor of the tariff of 1916 because
he put the welfare of the country
above the local interests that sur.
rounded him. If there be Demo
cratic Senators who cannot rise to
the height of this great example
let them fight for monopoly with
visors up. Off with the masks!
Out with the Tariff bill!

Repub lican state corruption gets

aptly and forcibly explains the re-
suit of this week when it says:
"Pennsylvania has spoken again
and with the same voice. 1t calls
for more tariff. 1t is still loyal to
the glorious union on the Identical
conditions that it has eXacted from

privilege of taxing the other states
for it's own benefit.
"a great change has taken place
in the character of Pennsylvania's
population in the last thirty years.
Yet its demand is still the same.

Harassed in its work, the SUBJ
committe of the Senate Finance
Committee still hesitates to report
the Tariff bill. The cause of this
delay is in the fact that certain
Democratic Senators who are for
Free Trade in general and for Pro-
lection in particular seek to mani
pulate the bill according to their
own personal wishes and interests.
Some of these Senators desire "pro-
lection" for sugar, and others are
opposed to free coal and iron ore,
Still others are not satisfied with
the high protective duties that
have been retained on textile man

The Duty of the Senate.

The Wilson bill, as'it goes to the
$ enate, has many excellent things
in it and many that cannot be APP
proved when measured by Demo-
cratic principles.
First, the bill is to be commend
ed because of its reduction Of duties
on imported goods and consequent
ly of protection, or taxation, from
1885 per cent. under the McKin-
ley bill to 30.66 per cent. in the
Wilson bill. This is IL reduction
of more than 80 per cent.
So far the bill is all right and in
line with the Chicago platform;
but neither the Chicago platform
or anything else that pertains to
true Democracy, is antagonistic to
equal taxation and the laws of
equity. The Wilson bill protects
all manufactures Oh an average Of
80 per cent, and it places all pro-
ducts of mines-coal, iron, lead and
copper, as well as nearly all the
products of the farm and forest, on
Il free trade basis. In doing this it
invites into this country, free of
duty, coal, iron, lead and copper
ores, as well as wool and lumber.
1t creates, or rather it perpetuates
the doctrine of projection over GER
tain privileged classes and ex-
cludes other great interests from
protection. If the principle of pro-
lection is wrong, then the Deno-
cratic party has no right to perpet-
uate it, especially at the expense
of other great Industries that are
as important to this country as
manufactures. We do not con-
denim the bill because it takes
foreign imports off manufactured
goods to the extent of 30 per cent.
and thus gives an incidental pro-
lection to that extent to our own
manufacturers. We claim on all
principles Of justice that the same
per cent. of protection should be
be extended over all laboring men
and all money invested, whether
in mines, farms, forests or manu-
factories, and we know that on
sound economical principles this is
right.
We go still further, and on our
examination of the income tax we
find that it also is based ON the
same principle of unjust discrimi-
nation. 1t is, as formed, an ex-
preston of class legislation that is
indefensi BILE. We 10 not condemn
the income tax when 1t is Justly
and fairly made. The principle o
all taxation should be that every
dollar of property should pay the
same proportion of the expense IL
carrying on the government-fol
government is for the protection o
property and persons.
Now, starting with these sount
. and just economical principles WI
: demand that it be applied by Law
just as nearly as possible to all th'
, people and to all property. Th'
Wilson bill income tax goes, upoi
the idea that property is valuable
, just in accordance with its earn
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1894-03-03

ing ability;;or, that a man is to be
taxed according TO his ability when
he is able to earn more than $4,000
per year. In other words, as this
income tax is now presented, it is
Il piece of class legislation, design
ed to carry favor with the people
who do not earn $4,000 per year.
If the policy of the free traders
should be carried out, then this
principle would be the only source
of revenue, and it would compel
the people who earn above $4,000
per year to pay for carrying on the
government for all the rest of the
nation. The mere stating of these
things ought to be sufficient to in
duce every honest man to come
forward and condemn this bill as
it now Stands, We do not believe
that any bill proposed by Demo-
Gratis or Republicans will ever
stand unless it is based on justice.
You know and we know that it is
not Just to demand that one class
of people should bear all the bur-
dens of carrying on the govern
ment.
The Mckinley bill was bill for
tribute with incidental revenue. 1t
enabled great monopolies to be
formed, and permitted them to en-
act tribute from the rest of the peo-
pie who are consumers of what
they produce. Now, ii would seem
as though the ways and means
committee in retribution for these
eXtortions which have been enact
ed under the Mckinley bill have
come forward with a bill to de-
mand that these monopolies and
/ the fortunes which have been built
up under the Mckinley bill should
c ontribute to the support of the
government what they have eX.
tortedIfonl the masses of the peo-
pie. Two wrongs never made one
right. How much better it would
be to enact such bill, as we have
advocated, that would tax every
article imported from foreign coun
tries, thus making the bill by which
it is done u thorough Democratic
revenue bill and letting whichever
protection there might be in it fol.
low as Il natural consequence, so as
to preserve prices of labor and the
money used in all OF our industries
against competition of foreign
countries. Such Il bill is in accord
ance with historic Democracy anC
all the principles of the party, Oh
which the party has stood an(
must stand. The, duty of the sen
u te is plain. Reform the bill ant
make it purely for revenue.
