pressed by Justice White on the for
mer heading, and the other justices
who dissented to-day. He said:
"It is not and cannot be denied
that under the broad and comprehen-
sive taxing power conferred by the
constitution, Congress has the author
ity to tax incomes from whatsoever
sources arising, whether from real es.
tate or personal property or otherwise.
1t is equally clear that Congress, III
exercise of its authority, has the dis
cretion to impose the tax upon in
comes above q designated amount.
The underlying and controlling ques-
ton now presented is whether the
taxation of incomes received from
land and personality are subject to
the rule of appOrtionment."
1t is not found, said the Justice,
that there was any lack of uniformity
in the legislation, and he could not
understand the principle upon which
the court reached the conclusion that
because one branch of the law was in
was not laid by the rule of apportion-
ment, it thereby inyalidated another
branch resting upon the rule of uni
formity, and against which there was
no valid objection. If the conclusion
OF the court was sound, the principle
could, with equal propriety, be ex-
tended to the entire tariff act. The
court took wrong method OF arriving
at the true meaning of the words " di-
rect tax" depending upon opinions of
writers upon the constitution who
agreed in nothing. 1t was never con-
templated by the trainers of the con-
stitution to reach by direct taxation
subjects OF partial distribution. What
would be thought OF direct tax laid
upon cotton at so much bale, or
rice, property not existing in ma
lority OF the States. They contem-
plated the apportionment of direct
subject matter having general distri-
button among the States. They never
contemplated anything as direct tax
that laid directly upon property itself
according to the valuation by assess
ment. No intention could be attribu-
ted to the trainers of the constitution
to make any tax direct tax which it
was possible to apportion. If a tax
could not be apportioned among sew
eral States with reasonable approx
nation to equality to all citizens of
the country, that should be evidence
that it was not a direct tax within the
meaning OF the constitution.
what is to be the end of the ap-
plication Of this rule, this new rule
adopted by the court? A tax is laid
by the general government against all
the money on hand or on deposit
upon every citizen OF the country at a
given rate. When laid few parties
come before the court and say: MY
deposits we're derived from the pro-
ceeds of farm produce, or from bonds
and securities, and they are not there
fore taxable by this law"

Republicans Not All Gold-Bugs.

United States Senator Thomas H.
Carter, Of Montana, Chairman of the
Republican National Committee, was
asked to express his views on the ma
tional situation, especially the silver
question. He said:
"The Republican prospect west of
the Mississippi depends upon how the
party meets the silver question. The
Western demand must be met in the
national platform. Fifty-nine cleo
toral votes depend on it. These votes
will not 60 to any man not willing
to pledge himself to sign any silver
legislation sent him BY Congress.
l would not be surprised If the House
elected the President should the silver
men put third candidate in the field.
l believe silver bills will be passed by
both houses next year. As to candi-
dates, there is not any pronounced
sentiment. The silver views of the
candidate and not his personality will
interest us. We shall insist on . man
and declaration which will meet that
sentiment.

A New Eldorado.

Ii reports be true, a mine Of pure
gold equalling, il not excelling, the
famous Comstock lode, has been dis
covered ON our northern border. a
vein Of free milling ore from three to
fourteen feet in width and about ten
miles long" is the way prospectors
describe the new find, "if the veins
already discovered could be placed in
one continuous line" Samples OF the
quartz show free gold plainly to the
unaided eye. An assay shows that
the rock yields from SO to Sal per ton.
This ledge is situated on Gold Hill,
sometimes called Grouse mountain,
just at the international boundary,
seven miles from Rossland and eight
miles from Northport. The estimate
Of its richness is based upon over one
hundred samples, and ledge after
ledge has been tested with unvarying
results.
Ten claims have been located and
named the Orizaba, Grouse, Alice,
Phoenix, .Etna, Alpha, Alta, knight
Templar, international and Tipto No.
1. These claims are included in q
rectsnglc about 1900 feet on each
side, just touching the international
boundary, lying on the British side.
In these claims, so far as now known,
there are nine gold bearing lodges
running northwest and southeast,
with two cross veins running nearly at
right angles to them.
The utmost excitement exists at
Spokane, and throughout the adjacent
country, and if public expectations
are realized, the yield of the precious
metal within the next few months will
60 very far towards relieving the
scarcity of standard metal.

1t is His Right.

A former resident of Olympia in
dulges in this growl over the high
taxes which have resulted from the
past nickel-plated public service:
~ certainly think that the Olym-
plans went insane on tax and assess
ment questions. Their method OF
adding extraordinary penalties and
interest on delinquent payments were
worthy of the Chinese. If they have,
like the Chinese, desired to keep out
foreign interest or investment, they
could not have taken more direct
measures to do so. 1t would not
require long for a capitalist to
decide that where any absence
of information as to what was
assessed against him would result in
cOnfiscation, from the addition of bar.
barrie penalties, and exorbitsnt interest
before he could make good his default,
was no place for him to risk money in.
1t will be some time before the State
RECEIVERS from this action. What
Washington needs, is not people to
flock into her already greatly over.

lands, agriculturalists. She wants to
raise her own produce, butter, eggs,
and have some to sell; utilize her
great opportunities for fruit culture;
increase her hop fields, and send east
carloads of better product than we can
raise athome, and the immigration that
can do these things are the immigrants

FROST DESTROYS EASTERN FRUIT.-

be just at the time when they would
do most good. The roads are becom-
ing very dusty.
Small grain of all kinds has grown
rapidly also corn and potatoes. Hops
are well up the poles and doing we'll,
although not nearly so much grown
this season. Lice have made their ap-
pearance in some fields, and it will be
necessary to resort to spraying. Straw
berries are now getting ripe. Fruit
trees are set full of fruit, and the crop,
especially of cherries and prunes,
promises to be very large. The light
frost of the 14th did fruit no particular
injury. Caterpillars are appearing in
some orchards, but, as a rule, insect
pests have not become troublesome.
Garden truck has thriven during the
past week, especially onions. In
Skagit county it is found that the frost
OF the 10th did considerable injury.
Glover is there starting to blossom ;
oats are somewhat backward. Rain is
needed. In Clallam, around New
Dungeness, there is fine prospect for
good crops. In Kitsap everything is
doing its best, but the ground has
dried out and strange to say, they are
actually in need OF rain. In King
county grain and grass have done re-
markably. Potatoes are being plowed.
The frost of the 14th did not hurt any
thing. In Pierce the weather was
warm and favorable to all crops. Pc.
tatoes were nipped little by the frost.
In Thurston, Lewis and Clarke, cherry
trees and Italian prunes are setting
very full, and the prune crop promises
to be the heaviest ever grown.
EASTERN SECTION.
Although in the irrigated districts
the weather was just right, the lack of
moisture for SO long q period is serious
ly felt on the highlands. 1t is hoped
that the showers beginning on the
10Th. will continue until the soil is
we'll soaked, for there are yet hundreds
of acres in Whitman, and more north
ern countries where late sown grain
has not come up, and will not with
out rain occurs. In Columbia late
gardens are not yet up for want of
moisture. In Walla Walla, crops have
not suffered as yet. In Garfield, it is
not too late for fair season from now
on to ensure good crops. In Klickitat,
strawberries are of fine quality and
selling readily. Peaches and apples
will be the largest crop in years. In
the Yakima valley the weather has
been favorable to irrigated fields; corn
and potatoes are fine; alfalfa will be
ready to cut in week or ten DAYS.
In Spokane, Lincoln, Adams and
Douglas counties, as we'll rs Whitman,
drying winds and lack OF rain have
retarded growth, but fall sown grain
looks we'll yet. Squirrels are getting
destructive in Adams and Lincoln.
Unless rain comes this week the main
crops in the Palouse county will be
short.

appointed Saturday by the Executive
Committee of the National Bimetallic
Union to prepare instructions for the
organization OF State, district. city and
town unions throughout the country,

the subject, and earnestly request the
newspapers OF the country to publish
the same:
To the people of the United States:
1t is matter OF vital importance in
carrying out the plan of action adopt
ed by the meeting of the National
Bimetallic Union that in districts,
towns, cities and States the organiza-
ton Of Bimetallic Unions be entered
upon at once. The object of these
unions is for thorough organization in
the interest OF the education of voters
upon the financial question which is
the burning question before the Amer
lean people to-day.
The only hope for success in this
struggle for full restoration Of silver to
its place as money at ratio of 16 to
l by the United States, is in such
education Of the people as will cause
. nf IN, har
1896, to vote for independent bimetal.
lism regardless of party lines. For
nation OF these unions may be entered
upon at once and We suggest that each
union adopt the name of the district,
town or State in which they are or
ganized and that the Secretary of each
union address q letter to Z. b. Light,
Secretary of the National Bimetallic
Union, Denver, Colo, who will for
ward the form of constitution and by
laws recommended by the national Or
ganization.
AS soon as the local organizations
are completed they shall appoint a
committee of their most earnest work.
ers for the purpose OF circulating sub
scriptiOn papers throughout their en-
tire communities. We would further
recommend that the subscriptions be
made in monthly payments which
shall continue until November, 1896.
Further recommendation will be
made by the Secretary at the time the
constitution and bylaws are forwarded.
The money so raised is required for
the purchase and circulation OF BIZ
metallic literature furnishing honest
and unsnswerable arguments for full
and independent bimetallism, believ-
ing that this is the only way to re-
store permanent prosperity to our
beloved land.
This is q struggle between the
money power and patriotism and in
order to win our cause, "a we have
money interests to oppose us which
are all powerful. it is absolutely neces-
sary that every patriotic citizen shall
at once enlist in this fight and render
us as great assistance as in his power
until this battle is won.
