Senator sherman FlOps Again.

Senator John Sherman is one of the
few prominent republicans who have
openly expressed opposition to the in
cOme-tax provisions of the Wilson bill.
Yet probably the most plausible argu-
mentS ever made in support of fed
eral incOme-tax have been uttered by
Senator Sherman. In 1870 he spoke
and voted against the repeal of the in
come tax. He even went so far as to
say: eff l had my way, l would retain
the income-tax at 5 per cent. on all in
comes above 81 900, making such modi.
fications as would afford the proper
exemptions, and then throw off these
taxes upon consumption that oppress
the poor" In 1871 he said in the SEN
ate: "When it is complained that the
tax on an article of consumption is un-
just upon the poor, because the poor
have to consume a greater proportion
of their income in its purchase than the
rich, we answer that to cOunterYsil that
we have levied a reasonable income

Railroads Stealing Coal.

Railroads are stealing thousands of
tons of coal from their patrons. Their
excuse is the necessities Of the situa-
ton" induced by the coal strike. AS
yet no sheriffs and United States mar
shals have been ordered out to main
tain law and order, nor is there any
probability that such action will be
taken. These officers are useful only
when the necessities Of the situation"
induce men to steal ride on the train
that steals coal. The wholesale mer-
chants whose coal is stolen are afraid
to take action because they know their
punishment by the railroads in the fu-
ture would be discrimination against
them. Shall the people own the rail-

So Much for Principle.

EDITOR ADVOCATE: - Your CORE
spondent, G. T. Pierce, in your issue Of
May 80, is disposed to advise or die
tate, but to ignore this right in others.
One would suppose that he was the
chief dictator of the Peoples party.
He says; "Many of us have been ex-
pecting that all sorts of schemes would
be on hand when the time came for the
convention to secure an Endorsement at
its hands," And again: 81 warn the
convention against listening to every
one who has an ak to grind" etc.
Those who are asking recognition Of
equal rights and privileges in the forth
coming platform had supposed they
could interpret the declaration of prin-
ciples as set forth at Omaha and later
at the convention two years ago in this
state indOrsing equal suffrage. l be-
lieVe the rank and file of the Peoples
party are in favor of this. They have
been attracted to and become identi-
fed with it because of these utterances
and beliefs, and they had no reason to
think that they would be denied the
"right of petition" or conference on at
least fundamental principles. The
women of Kansas have been strong

pecially is this so in the farming COM

answer, because, if you leave your sys-
tenn of taxation to rest solely upon con.
sumption, without any tax upon prop.
erty or income, you do make an
unequal and unjust system"
In 1872 he made the following dec
laratiOns in the senate: "While the
expenses of the national government
are largely caused by the protection of
property; it is but right to require
property to contribute to their pay.
ment. 1t will not do to say that each
person consumes in proportion to his
means. This is not true. Everyone
must see that the consumption Of the
rich does not bear the same proportion
to the consumption Of the poor, as the
income of the one does to the wages of
the other. AS wealth accumulates this
injustice in the fundamental basis of
our system will be felt and forced upon
the attention Of congress. Then an in
come-tax, carefully adjusted, with
proper determinations between in
come derived from property and in
come from personal services, and freed
from the espionage of our present law,
will become part of our system, just
as such a law proposed by Sir Robert
Peel, after a disuse of twenty-five
years, was the basis of the revolution
in the tax system of Great Britain"
Senator Sherman even brought in the
Astor family to illustrate his argument,
saying: Everything that the poor man
consumes we tax, and yet we are
afraid to touch the income of Mr.. AS
tor. Is there any justice in itp Why,
sir, the inCome-tax is the only one that
tends to equalize these burdens be-
tween the rich and the poor" But in
his recent speech, the senator got back
to solid ground and advocated the tax
on consumption as the proper federal
tax, and he maintained that if incomes
are to be taxed, the levying Of this tax
should be left to the State.-BuffalC

for corruption. Under our present
constitution, in the beginning, our
government was like a beautiful
stream, bearing nsught but sunshine
upon its peaceful bosom. Like the
mighty Mississippi which has its origin
amid the beautiful lakes of the North,
and flows for several hundred miles a
pure, tranquil stream, but soon we
reach the rapids, and passing through
city after city the beauty and tran
guilty are lost in corruption. The
most noted tributaries of our system
are the democratic affluent and the re-
publican branch. These two formed a
very noted bifurcation, the former
flowing toward England, the latter, for
a time refreshing our own system. But
some years ago the divide washed out,
at which time they both began to flow
together, so far as termination was
concerned, trending to England. AS
the system to be drained becomes
greater the stream Of necessity grows
larger, until it has become one Of the
most uncomfortable on earth. 1t has
become so swift that it bears the glitter
ing drops from US so rapidly that, we,
the people, can scarcely catch glimpse
of them any more. There must be a
change, a publication. Would reVolu-
tion bring the coveted changer It
might, but count the precious cost! 1t
brings an aching thrill when we think
of war, carnage, conquest and gar
ments rolled in blood.
These are prophetic; but there is
something far better. There are mul-
titudes of intelligent women in our
midst, who by nature are the connect
ing links between man and all higher
good. Then, instead of making the
dread panoply of war the agency, let
US take the civil fetters from about
them and place them on a plane with
man; where they can exercise their
noble nature in bringing him back from
cold, hard selishness, to purity, truth
fulness and justice. Instead Of keep
ing them as so many animated bundles
of dry goods, let them shine out from
the brilliancy of their minds and lives
full of power and love, that will tlnge
these United States with brighter
lustre, and lead them up to a higher
walk in tender sympathy and pure be-
neVOlence for the oppressed.
Give woman the right of ballot and
the sword will stay in its sheath.
