An Illogical Position

The platform we advance for the
union of Republican, Democratic,
Populist, and other reformers and
patriots, is this:

lies, including the trusts and the land.
IL Complete civil service reform

A Worldwide Democracy.

With the close of the war will come
new problems and broadening of our
national horizon. In the information
al struggle between monarchy and
democracy the United States must
take part. Let no friend of The
New Time be deceived. Militant mon
arChism is arrayed against the de-
mocracv of Europe and America.
On the one hand is Russia-the
modern embodiment of autocratic
monarchicalism-allied by ties of in
terest with Germany, Austria, Italy
and Spain. England is monarchy
only in name. Her colonies are re-
publics. Australia is the model de-
mocracy of the world. The House of
Lords is but myth. England's COM
ing prime minister is a socialist.
London, by an overwhelming major
ity, has declared for the municipal
ownership of all public utilities. Mon
archy in England is but a form and
exists only by sutferance.
How about France? A republic in
name, trembling on the verge of a
military dictatorship with declara-
ton for king. France has made an
open alliance with Russia. What an
alliance. In the coming clash of
arms the real France (which is dem
ocraticj, will assert itself, but her
aristocracy will fight with Russia.
1t is idle under these circumstances
to talk of ''peace with isolation on
so small planet as this of ours.
There can be no peace without true
and international democracy, and
pray as we will and hope as we will
we shall have to fight for it. Before
the impact of arms the ridiculous pre-
/ tensions of the German monarchy will
crumble into dust. From the pend
ing conflict England, France, Ger
many, Austria, Italy and probably Jap
an will emerge democracies in name
and in fact. There will be drawn a
new Mason and Dixon line, behind
which monarchism shall tremble,
shrink and finally pass away.
| The New Time stands for an entang-
ling alliance with every democratic
country in the world as against the
extension or perpetuation of monar-
chy. 1t is working for the higher de-
velopment of democracy at home
and has faith that the American peo-
pie are capable of meeting and solv-
ing such problems as may be evolved
from the present war with Spain.

A Bright Paper.

Self Reliance" is a bright paper
published in Cincinnati, o., and devo-
ted specially to the labor exchange.
Here are few utterances on direct
legislation from its last issue.
We are fast becoming a common
wealth of millionaires and paupers.
Opposition to direct legislation is
opposition to a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie.
The rights of the poorest, as well as
those of the richest, are respected
and guaranteed under the initiative
and referendum.
The desire to serve "the classes as
against "the masses will be ineifect.
ual under the reforms advocated by
the Union Reform party.
If the people of Ohio had an oppor.
tunity to vote for United States Sen.
ator would Mark Hanna now be en-.
gagged in disappearing them?
Direct legislation offers the voter
the opportunity to vote on measures
and compels legislators to support
the will of the majority.
If the people had the right to vote
on laws affecting them directly, dc
you think the Consolidated Railroad
would have secured a fifty-year fran
chise to our streets?
The question of the public owner
ship of public franchises can be set
tied by direct legislation. An impor.
tant issue is imminent: Shall the GOV
eminent own the railroads or shall
the railroads own the government?
We insist that the people have the
right to vote directly for the Pres
ident of the United States, for the
United States Senators and for the
Judges Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, and that each of these
several officers should be answerable
directly to the people for their public
acts.
Direct legislation is the only meth
cd SO far advanced as a measure of
government whereby the several re-
forms most needed to rectify the in
equality of legislative discrimination
can be enforced through the will of
the majority.
If the people are not capable of
voting intellig~ntly on laws affecting
their interest and welfare, as 1t is al
legged, are they any more capable
to vote for Lawmakers, or to create
constitution by their votes, the
fundamental law of the land, and the
very foundation of all laws enacted
under il?
Industrial freedom. [volume] (Edison, Wash.) 1898-1???, 1898-09-03

Direct Legislation mixed up with
other demands is simply nonsense.
Because you cannot get these other
things until you have first secured
Direct Legislation, except by the old
representative method. then there is
no use in putting Direct Legislation
in such platforms.
1t will not mix with other issues, but
stands alone and superior to them all.
East Texas Reformer.
A few years ago we were content
with limited plank in a subordinate
place in political platforms. Now we
are beginning to appreciate the force
and imperativeness of Direct Legis-
lation. We want the whole thing.
Make way for Direct Legislation,
the path maker, the pioneer. the
road-bed of all reforms.

Bro. Wayland Talks Free Trade.


We are glad to notice in the last APP
peal to Reason several slashes at that
Old Man of the Sea, better known as
"Robber Tariff" People have been
so wearied with the 'infant industry"
fake: the "one-tenth of one per cent"
more or less: the lad valorcm" and
specific" rubbish, that many have
come to feel weary whenever tariff
or free trade is mentioned. AS re-
freshing as a breath of mountain air,
is the argument of Bro. Wayland.
first made popular by Henry George
twenty years ago, that a tariff
whether for revenue or protection)
being levied on things mainly con-
sumed by the poor, is really a tax on
poverty: while an income tax is tax
on wealth For instance, man earn
| ing s. per day will use as much sugar
as will millionaire-each uses all he
wishes in his coffee. If each uses so
Tbs 400 Tbs. for family of tive) and
the tariff is &c per H., as it has been
most of the time since the war, each
will pay d tariff tax of $l2. The
workingman gets $500 a year, or
5000 So small an income should
pay no tax at all; but he Is robbed
of per cent of his income by the
sugar tariff alone. Rockefeller re-
ceives $4,000, 900 a year. AS he uses
no more sugar than Smith, he pays
no more sugar-taritf-tax. His 81
sugar tax is only ONE-SIXTEEN THoUS-
ANDTH of his income. Hence Smiths
tax. in proportion to his income, is
81, 900 times as high as is Rockefel-
ler's Yet the chances are hundred
to one that Smith has never thought
of it, A "two-for-a-nicker' cigar
pays as much internal revenue tax as
a SOC Havana. Hence the clerk will
pay as much tax as his employer. AS
between "tariff-for-revenue" and
tariff for-protec tion," we have little
choice. We demand the immediate
and absolute abolition of all indirect
taxes, both tariff and internal reve-
nue., for all of them rob the poor.
Five thousand families own half
the wealth of the United States,
and by direct taxation would
pay one-half the taxes. By
tariff and internal revenue taxa
ton they pay but one four-thousandth
Let all indirect taxes be abolished,
and the national revenues raised by
taxes on incomes and inheritances
and we will soon be rid of both mil
lionaires and paupers. Suppose we
just reverse the present method and
make Rockefeller's rate $4,000. times
as high as Smith's-make Smiths
tax one one-thousandth of one per
cent of his income: S600x Ok 00l-t
mills Rockefeller's tax b per cent OF
his income. $4,000, 000X-32x. 0l-$6,
100000. Down with indirect taxes that
rob the poor. If we want protec ton
let us give bounties for the produc
ton of the desired articles, RAISING

which he is not willing to accept as
method Of securing the reforms in
which he is interested?
How much equality would there be
in union effected on that sort of
basis?
If on the other hand, his position is
that the initiative and referendum is
to be adopted as the method for secur-
ing the reforms mentioned in planks
l . and 4, why insert those planks at
all? If it is the intention to make the
people believe that the party will en-
act those reforms into law, then the
party will be going before the people
on false pretense. 1t will be pre-
tending that it is going to enact GER
tain laws when in fact it proposes to
to adopt system which will deprive
the party of the power to'adopt them.
If his purpose in selecting these
special reforms to go in the platform
is to give them the benefit of the ad-
vertising they will thus get, then the
advocate of every other reform has an
equal right to claim that his reform
shall have the benefit of the same sort
of advertising.
| And if that is started we will have
the same old controversy over, which
is the greatest? Each reformer will
insist that his special reform must GO
| in, and each one will demand first
place.
The more we study the subject the
more we are driven to the conclusion
that if the initiative and referendum
is to be made basis of union as a
method of securing reform, it must
be made equally applicable to all re-
forms.
The moment, you attempt to divide
up and say that these reforms must be
accomplished by party action, and
those must be accomplished by
the initiative and referendum, you go
into endless contradiction and incon-
sistencies.
If the initiative and referendum is
good way for securing any reform,
then it is good way of securing every
reform. If there is any reform which
cannot properly be secured by that
means, then there is no reform which
should be adopted by that means.
