The income tax is knocked out.
It is unconstitutional. so says
five of the nine United States
Supreme Judges Income tax
has been in force in England for
many years past. But in this
country you cannot tax large in
comes. Slavery was abolished
in the English dominion for many
years, and was looked upon as a
crime of the deepest dye by the
civilized world, and yet the
United States Supreme Court
decided in the bred Scott case
that a black man had no right
that a white man need respect.
The Court held this opinion, they
claimed. because the constitu-
ton obliged them to. Now this
Court held that under our con
stitution there is no way to tax a
millionaire's wealth. Under our
peculiar system Of government
there isn't until the Supreme
Court is reconstructed. We
pay elect a Congress unanimous
in favor of an income tax or any
other reform. but unless five
men on the supreme bench shall
also agree to the measure. it can
not go into effect. Russia is
ruled by one man. this country
by five. That is all the differ.
encs in the system of govern.
ment of the two countries. The
road of reform has a long lane
ahead Of it yet.

Andrew Carnegie. the great

Yes we seem to remember

Scotland in castle that he has
bought with money he made in
defraudiug the government by
giving them blow-hole armor
plates. Yes he is a republican.
Birch. and that is one reason
why we are not. He defrauded
the government Of millions of
dollars and we presume he is
under obligations to give some Of
it back to save his party from
Populism: The old parties see
now that they must do some
thing to. satisfy the people Or
they are gone. Hence we pre-
sumo such proteges of the old
parties as Carnegie are called
upon to throw the .laborerss a sop:
But how about this terrible dem
ocratic Wilson tariff bill that had
to be repealed before this .coun-
try could begin to do business?
Less than one month ago every
republican paper howled about
that. But now Carnegie raises
wages 10 per cent under our
demo cratic tariff! And a re-
blican points to It's with pride!

The fight now on for free and.
unlimited coinage Of silver, there.
by placing.it ON an equality with.
gold, at the mints of the country,
is a fight against the entrenched
money power. 1t isra fight to
destroy the single or gold stand
ard, at once the crown and scep-
tire of the money power. It is
a fight Of America against Eu-
rope-the people against des-
perate president in alliance with
the Shylock, Rothchilds: a fight
which must be won by the
American people if their liber-
ties are to be maintained.
The hue and cry, set up by the
advocates of the gold standard
for honest money is in the in
terest of class utterly incapa-
BILE Of an honest financial policy;
every word uttered, Indicative
of regard for the welfare of the
working classes is false, as
would be white, instead of a
black flag, floating from the
masthead of a pirate chip.
These single standard free.
hooters have had the gold stand,
ard since 1873-twenty -twoyears:
and during that period affairs
have been going with ever in.
creasing speed on the road tc
bankruptcy. Wages have stead.
lily decreased and now the est
mate is that there are 100000
idle working men in the country,
While poverty, degradation and
crime. on the one hand have in
creased, on the other hand the
rich have increased their fort
unes until sum totals defy ex
aggeration.
The money power has con
trolled the two old parties, ano
the president of the United
States has become a gold stand
ard monomaniac, and is usin E
his vast powers to establish the
money power upon basis which
will still further enable it to con
troll the destinies of the nation.
Fortunately, America is be
ginning to assert herself; Eu
opean dictation will not longer
be tolerated. Silver is to bt

about every other phase of the
money question except it's rela-
ton to the debtor. The Secre-
tary never refers to them. The
debtor is not in court or worthy
of notice in his able effort. It is
only how much a man in posses
sion of the debtor can buy that
engages his attention. He is a

the producer and the debtor is
evidently a being, be he white or
black. who has no right that his
clients need respect in the settle
ment of this question.
The Secretary of course knows
that that there is $4,000. 900
of debt in this country to be liqui-
dated by dollars. Buthe ignores
this fact altogether. We pre-
sumo. he thinks that if the debt
.ors can t get the dollars to pay
with his clients will own all the
property in this country in a few
years. And so they will under
his money policy.
Perhaps it is best in the long
run for this country that the
gold, standard prevails for a
while yet. until it shall have
transferred all the wealth of this
nation into the hands of a few.
The reform that will then come
is apt to be unhealthy for the
classes. but will very likely be
thorough enough to be of lasting
benefit for the masses.

Goldites claim that we ought
not to have silver because Eu-
ropean countries do not want to
take it. But this circumstance.
, if it is a fact. is precisely why
we want silver. We want money
that will stay in this country and
enable us to do business. If
any man wants to go to Europe
to spend his money let. him pay
the exchange. to get. gold or any
other money he wants. AS we
have said time and again the
gold standard or orld-money is
really giving asspremium to i'm
porters, or at least equivalent to
absolute free trade. We believe
our people should buy their
goods at home. Free silver and
not tariff laws will protect all
classes of people against the so
called foreign competition. We
can understand how honest free
traders. can advocate the gold
standard, for the gold standard

he said: ''Gover Cleveland will not be
the nominee Of the Democratic party in

ventlon. Besides, this third-term busl-

"W. c. Whitney of New York is to-day
the strongest candidate the Democratic
party could nominate. He is man OF
ability and is very strong man."
Nv hat are General Harrson's plans?"
General Harrison is not talking. He
never talks, so do not know"
Colonel New would not talk Of either
Reed or Mckinley, but when Senator
Allison's name was mentioned he said:
ALLISON is good, strong, honest, ca
pabie man, and will make a very good
candidate. 1t is too early to do much
talking. Politics in Indiana are quiet,

RAGING FOREST FLAMES.
MICHIGAN AGAIN UNDERGOING A
BAPTISM OF FIRE.
Several Lumber Towns Already
Wiped Out aud Others Threa tened
People In Danger.

DETROIT, July 1.-THE upper part of
the lower peninsula of Michigan is
doomed tonight with savage forest fires.
Already the lum Der towns of Wallin, up
in Benzie County and Cleary, another
little town, have been leveiled to the
ground, several. people have been badly
burned. and no one knows how far the
damage has extended.
The Thumb has been invaded, and the
town OF Kinder is girded with fire and
ashes. and black leaves are sitting down
on the deserts to the north.
Wallin. as far as can be learned. is to-
tally destroyed. The Sullivan Lum ber
Company's mills there ard 100000 feet
OF lumber are burned, together with the
houses that made up the little settlement.
The people lost all they had. Most of
them are al Thompsonville, a neighboring
town. They are said to be III greatly
exhausted condition. No deaths are as
yet reported from that point.
Two Chicago and West Michigan trains
are blocked by the fire just below Wallin,
and telegraph poles are down.
Late tonight intelligence came that
Cleary, small lumber town near Wallin,
was burned this evening. The fires.
which have been burning for several
days, suddenly grew worse, and before
the inhabitants were aware of it they
were nearly hemmed in. They made a
rush from the burning town, and as far
known LETT 10 one behind. Several peo-
pie are badly burned. but no lives are
lost.
Alarming reports come from Kinder.
The town is surrounded by flames. The
news. as sent from towns near by, Is that
the people of Kinder are wetiing the
roofs OF their houses and plassering the
sides with wet blankets, in the hope that
they may save all that they have in the
world Ii is expected that the town will

strong wind has tanned them into alarm

OF the State Bank of Peru, small town

G. .. Davis, their Cashier. who has

to Peru last January with good letters
and was hired by the bank. July 9th he
said he would go to Newton to visit a

being no occasion TO open the big safe, in
which the reserve cash was kept, there
was no suspicion. Yesterday the safe
was tried, anu the combination found to
have been changed. 1t has not been

Davis did not go to Newton. Tele-
grains from the bank and parties from
which his letters purported to be de-
velop that he was known to none of
them. lie was simply a huge fraud. No
trace can be found OF him and it is be-
leved he has left the country.
