securing honest returns from the pc o.
pie upon whom it's Incidence falls. 1t
has the merit, however, OF bringing
under tho notice of the federal e ssesso or
a class whose contribution to the cost
of the federal government is minutes
i1nal in proportion to the benefits it
reaps from such government. Under
any other system the millionaire pays
scarcely any more toward the support
Of the federal government than the
day laborer; and whatever may be the
difficulties in the way Of compelling
him to bear, honestly and fairly, his
just proportion of the burden it is but
simple justice that he should bear it.
If the income tax tends to make him
bear it it is ste in the right direction,
even though because of the nature of
things and of Taxpayers it falls short
of completeness.
The house passed the income tax law
by large majority; ind it is not con-
ceivable that it will hesitate to make
the necessary appropriations to carry
it into effect. tits possible, of course,
that the senate may, by flibusterinS,
defeat the attempt of the house to per-
feet the act-the country has learned
to expect almost anything from the
senate. But if the senate shall do this
it will add materially to the burden of
public disapproval under which it now
rests.-Detroit Free Press

rectSon.
The income tax law, it is oafidently
predicted, will by tho present con-
9ress be practically nullified by with
to carry It into effect. The wish is
probably father to the thought: but
there is Il good deal Of reason to doubt
the accuracy OF the prediction. Those
who make 1t also predicted that Presi-
dent Cleveland in his message would
either recommend such q course or
show in some clear fashion his dislike
OF the tax and the law. That prcdic-
ton was not verified. The president
said nothing whatever about the in
come tax law. 1t is quite possible
that the other prediction may fall
equally short Of verification. I. GER
tainly should not be verified. Con-
Sress owes to itself and to the country
the compile tion of the work it under
took in passing the income tax law.
Its failure to appropriate the funds
necessary to carry out the law was a
blunder: That blunder should DC
recti6ed. If the courts shall, there
after declare the law unconseit utional.

the affair of congress. Its duty viii

The entire scheme Of revenue for
tho coming and succeeding years is
based on the collection OF this tax; and
for that reason, If for no other, it
should be perfected SO that it may not
be necessary to unsettie the business
of tho country by the formulation and
of any now scheme. 1t is
not an ideal method Of raising revenue.

follows: ''Oh, Lord, I never did see

we thank Thee for the fine weather;

REPUBLICAN, INCONSISTENCY.
PROFESSIONALS borrow Democratic Ideas
for SelHsh PurpoSeO.

DOU0OCxoG1C
for seinsh Purposes.
The persistent howl which the re-
publicaES have made bout the dutY
OF onc-tenth Of q cent q pound On
sugar coming from countries that pay
an export bounty has been frequently
alluded to in our columns. They have
insisted strenuously that the orohibi-
ton of the import OF American cattle
IS based entirely on this provision, and
they have been eloquent in denooncines
the democratic party for . measure
calculated to injaSe our export trade.
A similar provision was in the Me-
Kinley bill. It has also shown that
the provision does not unfairly dis
criminate against Germany as COM
pared with other sugar-producing
countries, as the extra duty is less
than the export bounty. At the same
time, the German bounty is calculated
to chea pen sugar to the American con-
suner. and we have urged that there
ought not to be any effort on our part
to prevent Germany from paying part
OF our sugar bill if she insists on it.
For this reason the extra duty of one
tenth Of n cent q pound should be re-
pealed. President Cleveland urges the
same thing in his message.
1t should oc noted. however, IN this
connection that the protecticnists
have always ridiculed the assertion
that our high tariff rates diminished
our export trade. They reject the idea
chat a nation cannot sell unless it also
buys. and that checking importations
means CT: ecking expectations also, be-
cause in the long run imports must be
paid for with exports. They are, how
ever. very ready to como over to this
notion in particular cases. when they:
think party capital can be made.
Their ideas OF consistency are very
crude.
