THAT INCOME TAN DECISION.

We notice that there is to be a
re-hearing of the income tax ques-
ton before the Supreme court. We
suppose next time, they will decide
that it is unconstitutional to tax
anybody but the poor. The law as
1T was passed by Congr ess was not as
good as 1t should have been. The
people demanded a graduased income
tax, that would force the wealthy to
pay their fair share of the burdens
OF government. This was the de-
mand made by the Alliance and is
one of the leading planks in the Ma
tional platform of the Peoples party.
This plank was not in the platform
OF either the Democratic or Repub-
lican parties, and the leaders of both
parties were known to be opposed to
such tax, because it would force
the gold bug and the millionaire to
pay their fair and just share of the
burdens of government. But the
demand for this law was very popu-
lar and the Peoples party was grow
ing very fast. The millionaires got
alarmed. A conspiracy was probably
formed. 1t was decided that Con-
gress must pass kind of half-hand-
ed, milk and cider income tax law
with the full understanding, we be-
lieve, that the Supreme Court would
declare the law unconstitutional.
And so the farce has gone on. The
Court at first decided that the per-
son who puts his capital in certain
securities cannot be taxed, and af-
firms the law in that particular to
be unconstitutional. The man, how
ever, who owns and operates a fac

lawyer or IS farmer author Or ar
LET, earns anything in excess Of four
housaed dollars year-that man
an h.. cons'ilutionally taxed. Was
itrre ever such giaring Injustice.
[ IL owners IF vast estates, million
sises and gold bugs who have their
4 :cumulations invested in bonds and
securities, cannot be constitutionally
.aaed. Such a decision is a slam
der on Thos. Jefferson ard the
grand patriots who framed the con-
stitut;on on the principles of equal
justice and protection tothe weak. The
people will believe that such a de-
clsion is an attempt to nullify and
change the constitution. What a
spectacle. Four gold bugs on the Unit
ed States Supreme Court bench defy
ing the will of the people behind the
cry of unconstitutional" The
constitution was framed to prevent
such injustice as this. Nobody
knows or cares what the next decis
ion of that court may be on this
question. They can not make II
any worse, if they wipe the wh,l l.
law off the statute books. 1t was a
miserable straddle and a .'cowardly
makeshift" as passed by Congress
and it is now a monstrosity as in.
terpreted by the court.
The whole thing, in our opinion
is a conspiracy to stop the Peoples
party from demanding just and
righteous graduated income tax
The Peoples party has elected fair
able and partisan court in
North Carolina. And the people
now see the necessity for such a
court at Washington.

Reports sent out by the United
States treasury, while theoretically
correct, have not been understood
by the people for many years. The
last report says that there is circu-
lating medium of $22.07 per capita
In the country. The records show,
perhaps, that this much money has
been issued, but as a matter of fact
not more than half of it is in actual
circulation. The report also SAYS

THE GREAT FIGHT.

The great contest of the century
the fight of the people against pluto

the masses against monetary serfdom
has begun in earnest. MIR. Jas. Ii.
Eckels, the comptroller of the ma
tional currency-a man drawing a
big salary from the government, and
whose time should be devoted to the
interests of his employers-the peo-
ple-hss practically fired the first
Cleveland campaign gun by making
a gold basis speech at Detroit, Michi-
gan. He is one of the army of 2O0,-
600 Federal Office holders who, at the
command of Grover Cleveland (who
appointed HIM is obeying the order
to fight for the gold standard in this
country; and from now until the
election of 1896, the war of gold
monometallism against bimetallIsm
will be fercely waged.

Now draw the parallel. The
Democratic party made a platform
for the last campaign. 1t was a free
silver platform too. They got IN on
it. That's all the use they made of
it. They didn't try to stunt on it a
minute. They are coming out now
with new professions. They may
declare for free silver platform, but
there's no good reason for thinking
they will stond on it if they get IN.
They deceived the people terribly in
the last election. The people cannot
really be blamed, for they thought
the Democratic party was honest.
But if the people allow themselves
to be fooled again, they will deserve
the condition Of serfdom and slavery
to which they will be reduced.
