with this suggestion, the following from

Commenting on these remarks OF the Re-

justice and necessity of such a measure are
well put in the following from the Laredo
Daily Times:
The necessity of an Income tax law Is rem
dersd more and more apparent when the ques-
ton IL studied for a moment. Take, for iu-
stance, John ID. Rockefeller. II MIR. Rookie

income tax would amount ~ 100000. hcie
amounts to ss0o00.0oo. with less than two
thirds the wealth OF the United States to
draw from, w. w. Aston pays England tax
on rents from his New York tenements. al
though he pays nothing to the government
that protects them. Even Germany has a
graduated system OF income tax, which begins
at a little over per cent and rises to per
cent on S25 900 and over. AS a German In Ger

tax OF $3.50, 900 a year The people are begin

The Bay City Tribune is bright. neat and
newsy sheet, and well deserves the support Of

The Corpus Christi Caller throws out very
practical suggestion In the following:
What is the matter with raising more NUT

the value OF mutton and make the business
very profitable.
There's big money in It. Beef and mutton

The Yoakum Herald goes for the pistol

have very salutary effect on class of men
that are public nuisance and a constant
danger. II says:

the discussion OF trusts and the various
remedial suggestions now going the
rounds.
1t thinks It pertinent to ask, why COM
plain OF Havemeyer and Rockefeller for
plunderlng mankind when the people per-
nit It? and then aptly says 1--WE have no
sympathy with persons who complain and
beg sympathy when they have the REM
edy for their troubles in their own hands.
The remedy for trusts is in the hands of
the masses of the people whom men like
Mr. Havemeyer plunder. AS long Us the
people are too lazy, ignorant and weak to
use their remedy It is best for them to be
plundered, and you may depend upon 1t
they will be plundered."
The people were warned against the
Ubiquitous protective tariff, warned time
and again. They were told. by those who
were farsghted enough to know, that this
Mckinley Dingley policy would do just
what It has done Practical thinkers
everywhere foresaw that the tariff would
do what Mr.. Havemeyer now admits
with brutal frankness,' it has done. and
what the leaders of the republican party
desired It TO do.
And yet the people who are now being
plundered put into the presidential chair
and in power Mr.. Mckinley who stands
consplcuously above all other men as the
exponent of that policy which Hayemeyer
says is the mother OF all trusts"
This leads an exchange to observe that
the voters Of the United States play baby
