nore Money and Less Trusts.
Representative Champ Clark Of Mis-
souri, says that nearly the entire theory
of Democracy as to The financial conduct
of the government may be condensed M
to the short, terse phrase More money
and less taxes Champ Clark is right.
There is more than that in the Chicago
platform on the subject Of finance, but
not very much more. The Chicago plat
form declares for an income tax. The
proposition is More money and less
taxes; taxes to be levied upon surplus
wealth instead of upon the needs of the
poor. An Overwhelming majority OF the
voters are for that proposition, Only
the bosses of the Republican party, who
arc controlled by the great moHeyed in
terests, are opposed to it; and those
bosses, and their newspaper organs, do
not dare to openly oppose the income
tax doctrine of the Chicago platform
Democrats. The following, from Re
publican paper, is about the way Repub-
licans handled the question in congress-
lonal debates:
"Whatever may be said as to the abs
stract merit of an income tax, it cannot
be had without an amendment to the
constitution, and that is very remote
possibility"
Well, what obstacle is there to con-
stitutional amendments, except the Re-
publican party2 The people will not
hesitate to destroy the Republican par
ty, if that is the only way of getting
what they want. Another and easier
way out is to elect q Democratic presi-
dent, who will appoint unplutocratic
justices of the United States supreme
court. Next year will be a good time
to try this plan.

Gen. Otis is now to be given 100000
men, but this number will not do the
work. According to Gen. Lawton s
statement it will take fully 100000 men
to subdue the Filipinos, considering the
fact that we hold little territory outside
Manila. The time for conquering the
Filipinos has been officially extended
for several months to come, when the
rainy season will be over, and Gen. Otis
can begin another campaign against
them.

ABUSE OF THE PENSION sYsTEn.
Thirty years ago General Grant said
the demand upon the government for
pensions had reached the highest point
and that it would steadily decrease
thereafter. When the expenditure reached
$50,000,0OO General Garfield felt con-
strained to assure congress and the coun-3
try that while such extravaganza might
be justified by the needs of disabled SOL
diers,. no excuse whatever could be Of
fered to add one nickel more to the pen
sion appropriation. In fact, nearly eY-
cry one Of the Republican leaders Of a
third of century ago is on record as
protesting aggainst5ev letting he a pro-
priation pass the $5O, 900, 900 mark, and
not q few of them said Immediately af-
ter the close OF the civil war that the ex-
penditure should not exceed $25, OOO,OO
a year. But in spite Of all that, the pen
sion list has grown to nearly 500, OOO,-
900, and the annual expenditure to
$3.50, 100000. There are on file right
at this time 625,O00 demands for rerat-
ing and original applications, which is
an increase of 425, 900 since December,
1897, eighteen months ago, and all this
thirty-four years after the war closed.
Over 10000 names have been added to
the list BY the present commissio and
he is the worst abused man that has ever
been at the head Of the department. for
not adding new names foster and for not
.expediting the work Of giving those al
ready on re-rating so that they may
draw more money. This statement may
seem incredible, but it is fully substan-
tiated by the official records Of the pen
