TAXATION WITHOUT PROTECTION Is
DESPOTTSM.

The old political axiom that taxation
without representation is tyranny was
beautiful irridescent generality, but it
was nonsense all the same. 1t sounded
as round as "heaven without immortal
iUy would not be heaven" Between
one-third and one-half OF all taxes are
paid by non-residents and aliens. That
glittering declaration should be remodi-
fed and made to read: taxation without
protection is despotism. Taxes are paid
for protection, not for representation,
and property pays the taxes.
And Debsism is bringing the meaning
of tax paying home TO the American
people. The value of railroads and of
thousand other species of property which
pay taxes for governmental protection,
is being destroyed because of the sup
posed wrong inflicted by a single and
comparatively Insignificant interest. If
| the law which forces property to pay
taxes for protection was for any reason
necessarily ignored, and all efforts for
arbitration found futile, then strike of
| those directly in interest might have
| been sustained, with no damage, save TO
| the offending Pullman company and
| their employees, without such disastrous
consequences to tax paying properties
and to innocent interests and Individuals
who are in no sense to be held accounta-
bic for the ruin which is being forced
upon them.
General Master" Sovereign may in
deed be both master and sovereign of
the fate and fortunes of the men
who have bound themselves to him by
oath or pledge, but what of these mems
wives and children, and what of the
men, women and children who have no
interest in Mr.. Sovereign and his lieuten-
ant, Debs' combination, save that of
common humanity. These men through |
delegated powers are not only abrogat-
ing legal contracts between corporations
ard individuals, hut at the expense
of a much greater number Of innocent |
people.

dates of courts Of justice, imperil the
lives of judicial officers and nullify law |
and escape the swift retribution which |
must logically overtake them in one way
or another. Had railway employees been |
discharged for sympathizing with Pull |
man workmen, they would have had |
just cause of complaint, but companies
cannot be forced to retain men who re-
fuse to perform the duties which |
they were engaged and paid to
perform. Because some distant mining
camp can not get justice from some un-
fair employer, or because the "union"
crew of some fishing smack are dissatis-
fed with their rations, Mr.. Debs, by
virtue of his delegated powers, OF the or
ganiZations under him out of a plea of
sympathy" can not with impunity
strike down into ruin the farmer. the
fruit grower, the shipper, the manufac-
turer and the merchant, and cause loss
to everybody and distress and inconve-
nience to all the men, women and chill
d1en who may be travelling. Such

amy. And we include in the classes
thus outraged the workmen OF the coun-

absolute rulership, or endure despots of
the Debs' dynasty.

SUGAR AND WHISKY.

The great sugar scandal so monopolizes
public attention that job hardly less
stupendous has gone almost unheeded.
1t is a scheme Of the whisky trust TO
have the tax on whisky increased TWEEN
ty cents per gallon. to take effect, mind
you. not till tine second calendar month
after the signing of the bill by the presi-
dent" The whisky trust and other
spirit distilleries, which for the time
being make common cause with il, have
enormous quantities OF spirits stored
away, all of which are immediately
available, as they are ready for use.
With the gigantic producing capacity at
their command they can make easily
during the forty-five days-the average
time between the passage of the bill and
the date of its taking effect-a three
months supply, which, added to what is
now on hand, would probably not be
less than six months supply, or about
p million gallons, on which the trust
and ITS followers would scoop in an ex-
ira profit of FIVE million dollars before
tie treasury would get a smell of the in
creased tax. If the Democratic mem
bers of congress believe that this scheme
can be consummatei without creating a
scandal fully as maiodorous as the sugar
scandal, they are nightly mistaken.

The following table gives the in.

the industry was menaced by adverse
legislation:

An examination of this table shows
that the wool clip of the United States
increased 1915 per cent. during the last
three years of the tariff law of 1867.
The duties then on clothing and comb
ing wool averaged 1219 cents per pound,
NiiASh W siS pAObcStiOAi'
It also shows a decrease of per cent.
during the period between the repeal
of the high tariff of 1867 and the pas
sage of the Mckinley law. During
this period of seven years the duties
averaged about ten cents per pound.
which was insufficient to cover the ad-
vantages possessed by the wool growers
of the southern hemisphere, and was a
revenue duty pure and simple. This
decrease averaged per cent, notwith-
standing the large increase in 1890,
which was the result of President Har-
rison's election in 1855.
The three years under the Mckinley
law, from the passage of that measure
until its influence was rendered void
by the attempt to repeal it in the latter
part of 1898, covered an enormous in
crease, amounting to 1871 per cent. in
1891. 1892 and 1898. Here is the most
positive evidence that the wool clip OF
the United States has rapidly increased
under protection, showing that ade-
Quate protection does protect.
