Gov. McKrxLEY and Senator HILL
are both lsboring under the misappre-
hsnsion, or are trying to make the
people believe the old exploded
story, that the foreigner pays the tax.
What pity this is not true! How
eagerly the dollarIoving, dollar-saving
people OF the United States would
grasp at any method by which the ex-
penses OF the government might be
laid upon the shoulders Of the
foreigners! But such method
has never yet been found and, as in the
past, the people OF the United States
are still paying the expenses of their
own government. But they are not
paying equally OF in proportion to their
ability. The poor man with a large
family is often taxed more than the mil
liOnaire with an annual income greater
than all the money the poor man ever
owned; is taxed not only TO support the
government but to help Increase the
wealth OF the very millionaire who pays
less taxes than himself. To equalizs
taxation, to throw some Of the burdens
Of the poor man upon those who are
better able to bear them is the aim Of
the Democratic party and the Wilson
bill, aud It Brings to their feet the repre-
sentatlves Of the protected interests
with the same old story Of the foreigner
and the tax.
In his Milwaukee speech last week
Gov. MCKINLEY said:
We must either tax ourselves and our
property, our lands and our investments,
or we must TAX the products OF other ma
lions seeking market here.
In his speech before the Senate on
the Wilson tariff bill Senator HILL
said:
The plain issue which we are to meet is
indirect VS.. direct taxation. For my own
part, as q Democrat, / prefer Indirect tax
alton and tariff reform above direct taxa
ton and tariff extinction. l prefer taxing
foreign products rather than taxing home
products.
Gov. MCKINLEY aud Senator HILL
are working in a common cause. They
are trying to keep the burden Of taxa
tlon upon the poor and they are making
use Of the same false representation
always made By the Republican party
that under our tariff laws the foreign
ers pay the taxes. They must know
that this is not true. II they do not
the people do. And they know, also,
that thev voted for reduction OF tariff
duties and that the Democratic party is
pledged to reduce them.
Senator HILL, the erstwhile Demo
cratic leader. crying out against re-
duction in the tariff and joining Gov
ernor MCKINLEY in the cry that the
foreigner pays the tax, presents q sorry
spectacle indeed.

Indications Are That the Rise Won't
Amount to Much.
The somewhat general anticipation Of
a possibly dangerous rise in the river, a
result Of the prolonged wet spell, do not
appear to be we'll founded. The best
information from Pittsburg is that not
over fifteen or sixteen feet is expected
there by tomorrow, which would
limit the rise here to not over
twenty-five feet. kilograms from
headwater points yesterday did
not show that the upper streams
were rising, and there was hardly
enough snow on the ground in Western
PENNSYLVANIA to worry over. The CEN
trail and eastern portions OF Pennsyl-
vania and New York report a foot to
eighteen inches of snow, but little OF
this extends into the Ohio watershed.
A good many of the small streams in
this vicinity ran out strong Tuesday
night and yesterday morning. The
marks at the landing at midnight last
night showed 3 feet inches and ris-
ing. kilograms from above are as fol-

by Friday. The Clifton and Raymond

DdroR Free Press


There have been here and there insig-
nificant assertions from the Democratic
party, as there have been from the Re-
publican party, but the vast mass of
those who declared for tariff reform in
1892 are still firm in the faith. The
severest criticism OF the Wilson bill
which comes from those who so voted
as to make its framing and passage pos
sible is that it is not radical enough and
that it has been warped from its original
proportions to suit private and local in
terests. Yet every time some blatant
and more or less prominent protectionist
or attorney for protected interests
raises his voice in denunciation OF tariff
reform, the country is informed by some
historical orgaR of protection that the
sentiment of the country has undergone
a complete revolution since election.
