THE ACT OF "a.

1t is possible no other misrepresen.
tation of the actual fact was ever so
assiduously fostured or more honest
ly believed than that which has been
current for years that silver was de-
monetized by stealth and fraud. In
a recent speech at Covington, Ky,
Secretary Carlisle very clearly and
succinctly stated the facts in relation
thereto, which facts can be verified
by any person desiring to do SO. Mr..
Carlisle said:
at is not true that the act OF Feb
ruary IL, 1873, which made the gold
dollar the unit of value and dropped
the standard silver dollar from the
coinage, was passed by stealth, or
that its purpose or effect was to de-
prive the people of the use of any
coin then in use or then in existence
in this country. That bill was pend
ing in Congress for nearly three years
and was under consideration during
five sessions of that body; it was dis
tinctly recommended in reports of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and the
Director of the Mint and it was offici-
ally printed and laid on the desks of
the House and OF the Senate thirteen
different times before the final vote
was taken on it. 1t was read at
length in the open Senate several
times and in the House at least once
as shown by the record. it was report
ed from committees seven times, and
the discussion upon it in the House
fills sixty-six columns of the Con
gressional Globe, and in the Sen
ate" seventy-eight columns
AS first reported to the Senate and
passed by that body in January, 1871,
the bill did not provide for the coinage
of any silver dollar whatever, but ex-
pressly limited the coinage of that
metal to subsidiary pieces-half dol
lars, quarters, and dimes In this
form, without any provision for the
coinage of any kind of silver dollar
the bill was passed in the Senate on
the 10th day of January, 1871, upon
the call of the yeas and nays, and the
record shows that the two Senators
from Kentucky, Hon. Garrett Davis
and Hon. Thomas c. McCreery, the
Democratic Senator
from Ohio, Hon Allen G. Thurman,
the present Senator from Nevada, Hon |
NJ. Stewart, together with all
the other Senators from the Pacific |
slope. voted in the affirmative, while |
Senator Sherman, Senator Morrill,, |
and twelve others voted in the mega
tive.

most entirely ignored. Common de-
cency would have given us at least
one delegate, but it seems that because
we had the temerity last year at the
State League to present candidate
for president, and come very near
electing him. that we are now ostra-
cised. 1t is true that Hon. Geo. M.

THE INCOME TAX NO MORE 4 LAW

By vote of five to four the Supreme
Court on Monday declared the odious
income tax law unconstitutional
Those who voted to declare the act
unconstitutional were Chief Justice
Fuller, and Associate Justices Field,
Gray, Shiras, and Bsewer.a The four
who held the law constitutional were
Associate Justices Harlan, White,
Brown, and Jackson. This was an
unexpected division of the Court. 1t
was supposed that Mr.. Jackson, when
the rehearing was ordered, would hold
the deciding vote. But the change in
the vote of Mr.. Slliras deprived Mr.
Jackson of the power to turn the scale.
The Court did not declare the law
demonstrations in all its parts, but,
holding to the unconstitutionality of
the tax on incomes from rents and on
State and municipal securities, as was
NSSioSd Ol Oii thC hlot nCdllDSs iOOk
the ground that the remainder of the
act was invalid because necessarily
dependent on the parts declared un-
constitutional. The only change in
the Court was in the vote of Mr.. Shiras
in agreeing with the other four that,
because the tax on incomes from rents
and from bonds was unconstitutional,
therefore the entire income clauses of
the tariff law were invalid. Mr..
Shiras voted on the first hearing
against the constitutionality of the
tax on rents, and the entire court
voted at that time against the consti-
nationality of the tax on bonds. On
further reflection Mr.. Shiras concluded
that if the tax on rents and bonds
were taken out, as had been done
already, the remainder of the act
ought to be declared invalid, because
| Congress never contemplated the
passing of an income tax which left
out rents and bonds; and that, there
fore, owing to the inter-dependent
character of all the clauses the acts
should be killed altogether. 1t will
be seen that Mr.. Shiras did not make
any great change of opinion because
the Court has not decided the uncon-
stitutionality of all the clauses of the
act, but has merely declared that q
part of it being unconstitutional, the
whole Of Il must be declared invalid.
Each one of the dissenting Justices
Harlan, Brown, White, and Jackson
delivered opinions of their own. The
Court was occupied for three hours ir
the reading of the opinions. Chic
Justice Fuller read the decision of the
Court, while the principal dissenting
opinion was that of Justice Harlan, SC
that there was nothing in the nature
OF partisanship in the action Of the
Court.
