cahhot details TOT want VI
Mr.. Hsthorn mentioned an
income as one Of the platform
dcrnsndt 81 his party. 1t is not
dem.pd4d by The Democratic
platfogIhhn the democrats in
Congrca levied an income tax
and they n this over the votes
of every populite Senator, al
though y are pledged TO sup
port il
Mr.. Hafhorn tried TO explain
this Inconsistency by saying that
the tax passed by Congress did
not go far enough-"they wanted
the whole hog or none" This
tax will hdd a large sum TO the
revenues 81 the Government and
it comes from the pockets of the
rich who have heretofore escaped
taxation, aud is the justest of all
taxes. Bat it is to continue only
five years. unless extended, and
so Mr.. Hathorn says his party,
in the Senate voted against. This
defence was simply ridiculous.
The trufl of che matter is that
Jones and3Stewart Of Nevada are
,rilver kin with incomes run
ing into millions, and it would
not do offend these converts
to the peoples party" "the
party of reform" by voting to tax
their incomes. For shamel
Mr.. Harihorn gave "the tariff"
a wide berth. Populites in the
South arelforced to do so. Why?
Because, b the first place they
cannot afford to give the Demo-
Gratis credit for the immense
benefit the recent tariff bill has
conferred on the people, and in
the second place poplism is a
party of grievances, and complain
ing, and they catch the ignorant
with their demand for more money
per capita though they say not
a word aEto how any one is to
get more saore money by the in
crease. Does not every one who
purchases goods know that the
price has been reduced, even on
woolens though the new tariff on
them doesinot go into effect until
january lBagging and ties are
cheaper because they are on the
free list; for the same reason
next spring farming implements
will be cheaper. But Mr.. Hath
orn says al this is nothing be-
cause England is a free trade
country and the masses of the
people in England are poor and
distressed.
He was forced here TO give an ex-
cuse why his Populite friends in
ongrcss opposed the income tax
but he did not tell why the Populite
Senator's opposed free sugar and
thereby defeated the bill in the last
session and besides by their votes
defeated the Wilson bill IN the Senate.
No This great question was of no
ID the eyes OF Mr. Hath
orn-he lodged IL and ignored the
record his party has made in Con
gress upon it. Will Democratic men
in this District be mislead by man
Or party who treats 10 this way
this great ssue, under which the
Republicans ia sc years have built
up nearly all the millionalres and
nonopolies of the country? We be-
heve not.
In conclusion Mr.. Hlthorn de
nounced the use OF Federal troops TO
suppress the riots IN Chicago as a
lsurpation, aud invasion OF State
