A certain doctor had occasion, when

so young man to understand his bust

something which he has accumulated
over and above his current wants and
expenditures, and the best method of
reaching the surplus wealth of the
country is by taxing the corporations.
Although restricted by the income
tax decision the field Of federal taxa
ton is still large one, for it en-
braces all the transactions OF business
and though the real and personal
property Of corporation and the in
come the refrom cannot not be direct
~ reached, yet every transaction in
which such corporations engage may
be made the subject OF taxation by
the federal government. and the tax
es imposed may be classified in such
way rs to restrain unions Of capital
in their mcuopolistic tendencies.
Legitimate Sphere OF Corporations.
The ordinary producer, having but
one factory, cannot afford to get into
a controversy with his employees, for
that would involve an absolute cessa-
ton Of the work of his enterprise. A
corporation owning a dozen factories
can easily operate eleven whilst it ls
engaged in bringing the operatives of
the twelfth to it's terms. and thus,
step by step, can bring about a re-
duction OF wages throughout all of
it's twelve factories. So also, having
destroyed competition, it can raise
the price of it's products and thus in
crease the profits of capital both by
diminished wages of its employees
and increased prices charged to It's
consumers.
1t can also destroy all competition
by selling its products below cost in
the territory Of competitive opera
ton, retaining its prices in the field
OF its monopoly, and thus, without
loss In the aggregate, yield to local
lied loss which will destroy all com.
petitive enterprises. Thus the indi.
vidual stands no chance against the
corporation, and lnGividualism is
practically destroyed.
Tax Accumulated Wealth.
The purpose then Of federal legis-
lation upon this subject would be to
reach accumulated wealth and at the
same time protect iDdividualism.
Taxes, therefore, imposed upon the
transactions OF corporations, will &C.
complish both purposes. They Will
reach accumulated wealth and they
will protect iDdIvidualism, for the in.
dividual, freed from the handicap of
such taxes, may be able to hold it's
own, and thus the handicap OF the
tax will preserve the equilibrium
between individual enterprises on the
one hand and corporate enterprises
on the other.
If X II +
The first step should be the organi.
zation of Bureau Of Industry, some-
what resembling that of the Bureau
OF the Controller of the Currency, to
which report should be made by all
corporations, showing the amount of
their capital stock, their bonds, their
income, their transactions, the nun.

paid and all the other data which in

The powers Of the federal govern
ment relating to taxation and inter.

meet every difficulty. No time should

Centenary OBSERVED.
Continued from First Page.

of 1777 and 1880, when the little army
of patriots and its leaders, at Valley
Forge there ON the heights of Morris
town, under the pressure of disaster
and dreadful privation, grew faint
hearted and were ready to give up
the seemingly hopeless struggle, Wash
ington stood virtually alone. Trus-
ted leaders fell away from him; con-
spiracies were rife to supercede him,
but General Washington held on his
way, pleading with pathetic vehe-
mence with Congress, with governors
of the provinces, with personal friends
to stand fast and sustain him in the
great cause to which he and they had
consecrated themselves
Underneath and behind all this lay
another element of this mans charac-
ter, viz, his implicit confidence in
Divine Providence and in the in
tegrity of the great cause to which he
felt God had called him. Of Wash
ington it may be said, almost alone
among the men of his day, that he
had that prophetic forevision of all
great souls of the future greatness of
this land of the free.
Let me only in conclusion, remind
my hearers of that other element of
farseeing, his loyalty to love of
country and to republican institutions.
The first great Captain and Presi-
dent of the Republic was also the
great exemplar of American citizen
ship, the loyal Christian gentleman,
the devout and unselfish Patriot.
Whole in himself common good,
Yet clearest of ambitious crime;
Our greatest, yet with least pretence,
Great in council and great in war.
Foremost Captain of his timel
Rich in saving common sense,
And, as the greatest only are,
In his simplicity, sublime.
Prayer was made by Rev. ]. M.
Freeman and Rev. John Macnaughtan

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY? ?,

Strange Kind in Evidence at the
County Committee Meeting-Cook
Turned Down.
That long deferred meeting of the
Morris County Democratic Committee
was held at the Mansion House Mon
day. And from all accounts it was
not the harmonious session that the
better element of the party desired
it to be. W. R. Cook, whose career
as chairman, was not satisfactory to
the members of the country districts,
insisted upon standing for reelection.
His friends advised that he refrain
from such a rash step but he per-
sisted, with the result that only five
votes were cast for him. There were
frequent recesses for the members to
caucus and altogether the meeting
was decidly interesting not to say
exciting.
Ex-Judge W. W. Cutler was elected
chairman although he is said to have
declined at first. Considerable difficult
ty was experienced in finding some
one to accept the secretaryship of the
Committee. W. L. R. Lynd,, of
Dover, finally decided to take the
undesirable Office. e. 9. Drake, of
Chester, was elected treasurer.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Mr.. johnson of Bergen for the Senate Presi-
dency-Pitney for the leadership
Probable House Slate.
Especial Correspondence.

Trenton, N. j., Dec. IA, 1899. 1t
has been unanimously decided that
Senator William NJ johnson, the able
Senator from Bergen County will sue
coed Mr.. Reed as President of the
Senate, an honor for which he is
eminently fitted.
Senator Pitney will lead the Repub-
lican forces on the floor of the Senate
during the coming session of the
| Legislatures. This is rather an unex-
pected distinction for the stalwart
Senator from Morris but the powers
that be evidently knew their business
when they selected him as leader
of the majority in the Upper House.
The prompt and thorough manner in
which Senator Pitney frustrated the
many efforts of Senator McDermott,
of Hudson to delay the business of the
session with his trifing and some
what frivolous methods won for the
Morris Senator the respect, admira-
| ton and esteem of the party leaders
and it was all but decided that he
should be the leader of the Republi-
cans in the Senate of 1900, before the
last session came to a close. His
ability as leader was promptly
recognized.
The Democratic Senator is &C
knowledged to be one of the
hardest men to handle that the min
GRITTY has sent to Trenton in a good
many years and were he allowed to
pursue the course he started out on
last year without being rounded up,
his actions might have had bad
effect on the majority. But Sena-
tor Pitney took the matter into his
own hands and from the outset handled
the Hudson man in a manner that
was entirely satisfactory to him and
to his colleagues. In view of the fact
that he so thoroughly squelched
the minority heavyweight on numer-
Gus occasions, he has been chosen to
guide the affairs of the coming Sen
ate through the difficult channels of
legislation, there being not the slight
est fear ON the part of the Republican
leaders that he can more than hold
his own with Mr.. McDermot, who is
to lead the minority forces. Mr.. Pit
ney is in every way capable of keep
ing him in line, his experience in
Legislative halls making him far
superior to the Hudson man, in point
of parliamentary tactics, and in many
other respects.
The announcement that Mr.. Pitney
is to receive this distinction will be
hailed with delight by his friends
who will view it as stepping stone
to the States Chief Executive Office.
In accordance with custom, Mr.. Pit
ney will become president of the
Senate in 1901, which Office in rank,
is next to that of Governor. His term
of office would end in that year, and
he would then be free to enter the
field as Gubernatorial candidate
The Republican House caucus will
be held next Tuesday morning at
eleven o'clock in the Assembly Cham
Der. So far the slate agreed upon is
as follows.
Speaker-Benjamin f. Jones. Essex.
Leader-Edward W. Wakelee, Ber-
gen.

Assistant-George E. Poole, Morris.

The special committee of the House
engaged in investigating the Roberts
case is working along as fast as it
can. 1t has received authority to sit
during the sessions of the House, so
it can peg away almost continually.
1t looks as if the committee would
have to go to Utah to make out it's
case. Mr.. Roberts has refused to go
on the stand as witness, and this re-
fusal has embarrassed the committee.
Mr.. Taylor and the other members of
the committee expected to prove their
case by him, but he is too shrewd a
lawyer to be caught in that trap He
requires them to make out their case
without the slightest help from him.
He takes his stand upon the we'll
known axiom of the law that q man is
presumed to be innocent until proven
guilty, and to establish that fact by
legal evidence and the House will
hardly accept any other proof, seems
to be no easy task.
