Mr.. Cleveland's opposition 10 a personal
income tax is undoubtedly sincere, but he
seems TO have lost the opportunity TO make
his manifestation OF It Of any practical
value. He should have brought his influence
TO bear on the democrats Of the house, for
the income tax proposition having been in
corporated with the tariff bill II must remain
there unless removed by the house, the SEN
ate having no authority to take it out Of the
bill, though that body may practic-A5 &C
stroy II by amendment. II is true that II
was known to the house democrats that MT.
Cleveland was not in favor Of a personal In
come tax, the suggestion in his message re-
lating only to a tax on incomes from the
stock and securities Of corporations, but the
extent Of his influence with the democratic
representatives In the lower branch Of con-
gress ls shown in the fact that only seven
teen voted against the tax on the final test
Of loyalty to the party decree. That his in
fuence is not greater with the democratic
senators has been demonstrated. The indi-
cations are that the income tax proposition
will be retained in the tariff bill without ma
terial change, and that Mr.. Cleveland will
have 10 give It his approval with the rest Of
the measure.
