1t was natural that the Democrat
ic papers and speakers knew SO
Little about the merits of the
economic reforms which the People 8
party was org&uized to contend for.
We say it was natural because in all
the years prior to the organization f
the Peoples Party, the Masters had
given them but two lessons to learn,
beyond which, they were not allowed
to advance; and though ignorant
upon all others, they had learned
these two lessons to perfection. In
national matters it was the tariff;
in State, the State affairs, the Negro.
And when the Peoples party sprang
into existence to contend for new
issues, true tc long years of training
they obeyed when told to ridicule
these issues, denounce the new doc
trines as hersey, and abuse the ad-
vOcates of them as wild-eyed cranks
and anarchists. Bow we'll tney
obeyed this command is now a mat
ter of history. But there was a
stronger influence at work than they
reckoned upon. The people them
selves began to see the justice Of the
principles advocated by the Peoples
Party and to clamor for them. To
day it is no unusual thing to see
Democratic papers and speakers ad-
vocating the very reforms which .

THE INHERITANCE TAN.

The National Rural, commenting
on the inheritance tax passed by the
last Legislature of Illinois, says
The Inheritance tax law passed by
the legislature of Illinois is step
in the right direction. The executor
of the estate OF George M. Pullman
have just paid into the Cook County
treasury the sum of $l5S, 2S3 being
the full amount OF the tax on his es,
tate. The Billings estate will also
pay in $63 900. These sums, and
others from larger estates from tim
to time, will tighten the burden of
taxstionon farms and other small
holdings of the industrial classes. The
new revenue law Of the ate also
promises to largely increase tbs
amount Of tax paid by the wealthy,
class who under the old law, were
permitted to escape their just bur.
den. If TO these beneicent enact
ments could be added a franchis,
tax similar to that passed by tn,
last legislature in New York, and an
income tax, fair share of tue bur
den Of taxation would be shifted t.

my theory of the solution of the

Every professor in the University
Of Chicago has received q circular
letter warning him to be careful of
expressing opinions concerning
controverted questions of publicein-
terest" in q, y way that might ''in-
volve the University, even by impli-
cation, in such controverted mat
ters."
In other words, if any professor
believes that the Standard Oil Trust
is criminal monopoly that corrupts
courts, brushes out competition,
brides railway officials and engages
in other lawless acts, he had better
keep that opinion to himself If he
wants to draw hls salary from the
Chicago University.
And why mott Mr.. Rockefeller's
millions have endowed this institu-
ton. It represents his ideas of bus
mess morality. It should stand for
his views on politicabeconomy. For
the Chicago University to teach that
criminal trusts should be abolished
would be reflection on its chief ben
efactor.
Mr.. Rockefeller pays hadsomely
for the privilege of regulating the
curriculum of the Chicago Universe
tys and he is entitled to got what he
pays for.
