The Obligation of Wealth.

Once President Harrison spoke need
ed words Of caution in his address to
the Union League club on the 22d on
"The Obligations of Wealth" He said
that the special purpose Of his address
was to press home upon the prosper
Gus, well-todo people, especially those
of our great cities. this thought: ''That
one of the conditions of the security of
tribution to the expenses Of the state
and local government It is not only
wrong but unsafe to make a show in
our homes and on the streets that is not
made in the tax returns" What is the
key note of all the discomfort that ex
lists? The inequality of the rights of
men before the law. What was it that
100000 recorded their verdict against
at the polls Of 1896, but what thew
thought was the selfish use of law for
the advantage Of the few who obtained
power to use it. and against the well
fare Of the masses? Mistaken thew
were in their specification, but certain
it is that their vote was a magnificent
protest against actual inequalities, laws
that favor some at the cost of all; laws
that bind fast the many, but ignored or
defied by the few; opportunities given
to some and withheld from others:
burdens shifted from capable shoulders
to those already overburdened

Still the rush to the Klondike keeps

Both the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific coast trains were we'll filled
with through passengers most Of them
armed with outfits big and little, and
before starting time it was found nee
essary to add tourist coaches to the
equipment.
The reduced rates seem to have had
their effect in increasing the number of
gold seekers, although the railroad
folks urge that the item of transport
tation is among the least, and that
cut of $50 would make little difference
to man who intended laying out mon
ely for an outfit, provisions. etc. The
business is increasing, and the passen-
ger agents are telling their patrons
that the rates may be restored at al
most any time. While there were no
large parties on the trains yesterday,
the accommodations We're taken for the
most part by men from Eastern and

upon the largest shareholders? They
have the most at risk. What class
evades those obligations the most and
| the most successfully but that whose
stake is the largest? Scan the asses
sors' lists in any city and the proof
stands out startlingly. What does this
| mean to the populace? That there is
law that EFFORTS from them their por-
ton and is nerveless before the pos
SCISSORS of large wealth. What is their
natural conclusion? That, as Proud
hon asserted, property is a crime
What, when this feeling grows acute
under some stress Of popular excite
ment, of which the campaign of 1896
was a warning, will ensue? History
records what has been DONE and like
causes produce like effects.
It will not do to denounce these who
thus protest and agitate as anarchists.
Their retort comes quickly and with
Irresistible force. Who are anarchists
but those who defy law, and what have
you DONE MessieGrs but that? The
fundamental law declares that all legal
enactments should sacredIy conserve
the equality of all; you have deied
that law in securing enactments grant
ing you special privileges. 1t enjoins
equality of burden bearing upon all
proportional to wealth possessed; you
defy that by Withholding your wealth
from levy and make others bear your
share OF the burden. Our former pres
ident tells you that the duty of the
state to protect life. liberty and prop
erty is conditioned upon a fair contri-
button to the cost of government. A
full and conscientious discharge of that
duty by the citizen is one of the tests
of good citizenship. To evade that duty
is moral delinquency, an unpatriotic
act" 1t is you, not we, who attack and
undermine government. And who is
there that can deny the truth of their
retort? The federal tax laws. crowded
with special privileges, and the
assessment rolls, gaunt with escaped
wealth, stand ready to confute him who
would deny it. The ranting of the
demaSogue may be sneered at, but the
warning Of Harrison cannot be ig
hored. He, at least. is 10 alarmist
