PLUTocRATIc TAX DoDGER S
The Millionaires' Effort to Annul the
Income Tax.

The Millionaires Effort to Annul the
Income Tax.
The suit brought by Mr.. Moore to
annul the income tax is hailed with
delight by the small plutocratic class
and their newspaper organs. As the
constitutionality of the principle of
the income tax has been affirmed by
unanimous decision of the Supreme
court as recently as 1880, the hope of
the millionaire tax dodgers now rests
upon some small technicality or ad-
ministrative feature of the new law.
If the governments case is properly
defended there is little doubt that the
law will stand.
The attempt to overthrow it is but
another sign of the cold blooded sell
tishness of the Wall street crowd and
its hangers on. Moore is a stock
broker. He admits that his tax under
the law would be over $1,000, indicat-
ing an income of about $2jG,OOO 1t
can obviously involve no hardship to
a man with a yearly income OF
quarter of million of dollars to pay
1000 toward the support Of the ma
ticnal government.
The tax is not burdensome. Is it,
then unjust? Does not Mr.. Moore re-
quire and receive more protection for
his property and his income than his
poor neighbors do? The owners of
and dealers in railroad stocks were
very quick to call upon the federal
government to protect their property
and keep their roads open at the time
of the great railroad strike last sum
mer in Chicago. Their property was
protected by federal bayonets. A
major-general of the army was de-
tailed by the President to suppress the
disorder that interfered with interstate
commerce. The strikers were enjoined
and virtually subdued by processes is
sued by federal judge.
What return do Mr.. Moore and his
corporate partners and his stock gamb-
ling customers make for this protec-
ton? The railroads have put in a
claim for payment for the transporta-
ton Of troops used to guard their
property. The revenue of the govern
ment for the payment of those and
its other expenses is now derived
solely from customs duties and internal
revenue taxes Both are based on con-
sumption, the most unequal of all
taxes. Mr.. Moore and his class pay
little if any more than the average
well-to-do farmers or workingmen.
The Sl60, 0O0,0O of internal revenue is
collected chiefly from whisky, beer
and home grown tobacco-the luxur-
les or indulgences of the poor. The
bulk of the revenue from the tariff is
collected from the universal necessar-
les Of the people. M. Moores carpen-
ter or coachman, if he has family as
numerous as that of his employer, pays
as much in taxes on sugar for example,
as the man does who enjoys an income
of $3.50, 900.
The income tax is an attempt to dis
tribute small portion of the cost of
government in proportion to n ability
to pay and (2) benefits received. In
seeking to defeat this most Just tax
the plutocratic press is simply intensi-
tying the popular indignation at its
too successful efforts to control the
government in all branches in its own
selfish interests.-Ne York World.

The Easy Argument Of FnItbs.

Names and epithets have powerful
influence on the minds of men. The
gold monometallists accomplished a
great deal for their cause when thew
induced the general acceptance of the
term "'honest" dollar for the gold dol.
lar, and of the opprobrious epithets
lightweight dollar" and clipped
dollar" for the silver coin. The IN
rejecting multitude take these titles
as indicative of fact, whereas no inst
man can examine the subject without
reaching the conclusion that the silver
dollar of practically unchanging value,
relatively to the things for the pur-
chase of which all dollars are used is
the only really honest" dollar now in
tion.-Philadelphia American.

10000 OF Sherman notes and 100000
OF silver certificates, all of which are, in
the nnaI issue, payable in gold. 1t IS
reasoned that the ohicial gold reserve
or lOO,OOOOO is thus made to
bear burden of SS5,0000O
OF 90 obligations instead of the
II IS claimed, is quite sufficient TO throw
oiscredit upon our whole paper surrency.
To remedy this vast excess of paper over
me goa reserve, II IS proposed that trst
the entire issue of Sherman notes shall
be retired through an issue of low inter-
est bonds, which shall afford a basis for
increased issues of national bank nOte6
upon conditions more liberal than those
now existing; and that, at a later stage.
at least good portion of the silver GER
uncates shal be Withdrawn, and the sill
yer held against them. as well as that
held against the Shermans. shall be dis
posed OF. To provide against the cOntrac-
ton that would result from these with
drawals of currency, IL is suggested that
the conditions of issuing bank notes shah
be so far eased az 10 admit of a CORE
spending increase in the volume of thar
currency In this way, the greenbacks
would be retained in use, and the priv
ilege of issuing bank paper would be re-
served to the national banks.
At present, II seems likely that a policy
of this character may be favored by the
party into whose hands political control
is falling. 1t is not to be questioned that
such a course would present practicali-
ties and attractions that would win for
II considerable support. Under such con-
strengthened, and would be readily ac-
cepted for an important class of uses for
which gold would otherwise be required.
Certain ii is that they have fallen into
discredit only since the other forms of
circulating notes have been put out in
such immense volume, and the withdraw
al of the latter could only give confidence
TO the retained original legal tender A
change of this character would be less
revolutionary than the one favored by
the present administration, which would
not only withdraw all the present forms
Of paper legal tender, but would substi-
tute a new basis of guarantee for bank
notes, and make those notes issuable by
state banks, as well as national.
