In connection with the steady growth OF
private fortunes accumulated through
trusts and syndicates, it is interesting to
note the workings of the income tax law
in England and in Germany. This Law is
founded on the principle that citizen
ought TO contribute to the support Of the
government according 10 his means, and
not according TO his necessities.
England has an income tax of 10 per
cent. which. on an income of 100000.
would amount to 100000 a year. The in
come tax in Germany is but II per cent
or incomes OF $500. but rises to per cent
on incomes OF $4,000 and over. There are
six gradations. so that as a rule each cit
fzen pays only q sum which he can AFFORD
to pay.
Ii Rockefeller. or Vanderbilt or Asfor.
or any other American millionaire were a
citizen Of Germany he would have to pay
considerable fortune to the government
each year lur The protection OF his vast
interests. while the workingman who lives
in rented house and earns SC or s. a
week. having no Interests except his per-
sonaI safety which need protection. would
pay only a very small sum for the services
Of the government This locks like a Just
arrangement One OF the objections which
have been made to the income tax in this
country is that it would be lodged by all
the men rich enough TO BE- affected by it;
but this is not possible in Germany. They
have a way there OF getting money due
the government. without the abatement
OF a penny People who have lived in that
country describe the process feelingly.
Suppose there is small sum due some
branch Of the government from an Amer
lean resident, the German oficial calls on
a day. and politely requests that ii be pa d
II the American makes an excuse, the Off
cial departs. but he comes again. Each
! time he is little more persistent and in
/ flexible: and he keeps on coming TIL that
money is paid. He is willing to take all
the time that is necessary, but he never
lets 20. And the weary debtor invaria-
bly, succumbs and pays the money-with

The Literature of the Future.

An interesting article which appears in
the st. Louis Globe Democrat" deals with
the subject of Literature and Immgra-
ton" II sets forth the results which i'm
migration has had on our national life.
and considerers the possible influence
the facts bearing on this question would
seem extremely curious to a foreigner un-
acquainted with our history. 1t is that
there are published in this country peri
odicals in every language which is now
spoken on the Continent of Europe Books
in various foreign languages also form
part OF each seasons output. and now and
then some one Of them, like Rosenfelds
Songs OF the Ghetto" published in Yid-
dish and English. attracts many readers
among the English speaking members of
the community.
There are in fact. whole communities
here and there in this country in which
the people speak no English, or very lit
tie. and keep 10 the ways and customs of
their fathers The Pennsylvania Dutch
were for many years such community:
so were the Creoles of New Orleans. and
the Spanish of the Southwest. Among ag-
gregations of recent immigrants there are
the Polish inhabitants of factory towns in
Massachusetts. the French Canadians to
be found in New Hampshire and Vermont,

and were able to expand by economy and
attention to business. To all schemes of
State socialism which promised to rescue
all mankind from poverty the objection mas
been raised that they must destroy person
al independence and withdraw all incentive
to ambition. This must be exactly the
effect OF trusts, which crush out all small
enterprises and make the employment oil
men possible only under conditions that
are fatal to personal growth and liberty
American efficiency in every department OF
industry has been the product OF oppor-
tunity and it must disappear in few
generations OF trust sovereignty. 1t
means the social failure of the Republic
Cheaper production and lower prices can
not compensate for the trust ownership OF
the courts, councils. legislatures. oNecu-
tive officers. and the very people them
selves for the people can live only by
the favor of the monopolists Of all the
means OF living The building up of great
fortunes for the few beneticiaries is an
added danger Altogether trusts are
more serious menace to the future OF
America than any possible policy of i'm
ocratic leaders can find no issue so impor-
tant rs the independence of the hslt-sav-
age Filipinos-an issue which Senator
Hanna and the trusts will welcome with
Joy.
The masses of the Republican party do
not determine the principles to be fought
for in a campaign That is done by The
managers who receive campaign contribu-
tons from the trusts, and by the rep
rcsentatives of the trusts who are among
the active party leaders. There are poiit-
icaI managers who are on the regular pay
roll of corporations and who render no
service that can be named. Considering
how much the sinews of political war de-
pend on the great combines that seek pro-
lection from legislation it is hardly 10 be
expected that Senator Hanna's party will
inaugurate the fight against trusts which
Senator Chandler expects. II is an op-
portunity for the Democracy. which IS not
in high favor with the country for the
course of its representatives in Congress
on the Philippines matter. Instead of
hurting itself against the solid wall OF
American opinion on this subject, it could
redeem itself and prove a benefit 10 the
Republic by beginning a relentless struggle
to free the people from the growing dan
| ger OF trust tyranny. The reasonable fear
is that when the people realize the serious
ness Of the situation they will be as help
| less as the people OF Amsterdam Av'

Since The Times has investigated the
facts and laid the truth before President
Mckinley. it is to be hoped that he will
not leave Washington today without first
giving some public assurance that he does
not intend TO be a party TO the plot to dis
honor General Wheeler
Evidence OF such plot seems TO be con-
elusive. and there is no possible doubt
about the sufficiency Of evidence that Cen
eral Wheeler is entitled TO lasting honor
and all the military reward the country
could bestow for his sallantry. devotion,
and success in the actions before Santiago,
which would have terminated in dis
graceful retreat but for his soldierly sense
and patriotic determination.
The case is such plain one that we will
not insult the Intelligence or honesty of
Mr.. Mckinley by arguing it. We have too
much respect for him to believe that he
will stoop to become the creature of the
army ring conspiracy TO discredit and re-
move a general whose service has been ex-
ceptionally distinguished and splendid. But
the American people would like to hear
him say so, and now.

her children and herself and meeting the

to pay the debt.
She had enc horse and small wagon.

work of this kind on a small scale. but

for some years she has drawn two loads of

TruSts az an Issue.

In their fight against four street iaf-
way tracks on Amsterdam Avenue the
residents Of an important section Of New
York have had the sympathy and aid Of
nearly the entire community. Yet 50 far
they have lost in the courts, in the mu-
nicipal council. and in the legislature.
The streets are supposed 20 belong TO the
public and in theory the citizens determine
10 what uses they shall be put.
This is an instructive case. II IS Twp
ical. As against any great combination
Of capital the people are impotent even
when their own concerns are alone in
volved
Senator Chandler asserts that the great
est issue next year will be the fight against
trusts Is there any such fghtg His
opinion is probably based on the number
recently organized and not on any move
ment Of the political parties. OF actual
trusts, Of which the object is TO control
production or business and regulate prices.

business does not escape. Besides these,
there are other combinations of capital
intended TO achieve results which the peo-
pie do not favor
As long as there is no popular uprising
against them. the trusts can afford 10
scorn the opposition of individuals and of
the occasional public officials who have
the temerity and conscience 10 challenge
the legality Of their operations They
monopolize the services Of the abIest law

are not without influence They have the

essary. They outrageously abuse the nec-
essary liberty Of capital with impunity.
Under the pretence OF wishing only to
cheaper production. they build up monop-
olies that can and will enslaye the peo-
pie.
The immediate effect of a trust is TO de-
stroy the independence of the individual.
Perhaps the chief blessing Of our political
institutions has been the offer of oppor-
tunity TO every man 10 develop according
to his capacity. BY industry, intelligence
integrity. and thrift the young American
could aspire to any position within the
limits of his powers. The men who have
made their fortunes began in small way
