THE SUPREME COURT BRANDS 1T
A. "KOShERY.'

A tax is a burden. 1t takes from a
laboring man a part Of his earnings
necessary to his support. A tax is ne
ceSSary in order to raise revenue
mark the words-to raise revenue for
the support and continuance of gov
eminent, state, county, municipal and
federal. Every dollar-nay every cent
whatever, except to support and per-
petuate the government is am iniquity.
a curse, a burden, an immortality, a
great wrong. Do not let it be forgotten
that he United States Supreme Court
decided with nine Justices on the
bench, and all republicans but one
that a tax levied for any purpose
other han for revenue is robbery"
That is very near the precise language
If not quite so. We quote however
from memory.
So it is wrong, it Is criminal, it is a
positive sin to tax any man to benefit
another man. 1t is contrary to the de-
cision of the highest j~udicatory and is
illegal. To rob Peter to pay Paul is a
foul iniqufty, a great offence against
morality and justice, and will send a
soul to hell. The men who manage to
get a corrupt government TO levy taxes
for their personal benefit and enrich
mcnt are of the very class that great
English poet, William Wordsworth,
wrote Of more than eighty years ago
the class Of whom he said
The good old rule
Sufficeth them. the simple plan,
That they should take who have the
power
And they should keep who can"

iniquity and meanness of high protec-

tive tariff is quite true. We give some
opinions from veil known republican

OPINIONS from Well known republican
sources:
Governor Mount, Of Indiana In 1899:
"I emphatically favor removing all
tariff protection from every industry
that belongs to a combination formed
in restraint Of the trade"
Hon. John Sherman In United States
Senate, October 18th, 1885,
Whenever this free competition Ii
evaded or avoided by by combination
OF individuals or corporations, the
duty should be reduced and foreign
competition promptly invited"
That was Mr.. Sherman's opinion
when he ranked with foremost men 4r
his party and was in the full strength
Of his masculine mind.
st. Paul Pioneer-Press, April 1907
The whole list Of protected mono
lies ought to be brought within the
enable foreign competition to put a linn
it m their ability to raise prices"
New York Commercial Advertiser, In
the fell Of 1885,
The time will soon come when pub
lie opinion will no more tolerate pro
tective duties on trust products; for
protection should logically promote
nome cOmpetlIlOu, W1ille IruSt organ
iZation destroys It."
Senator Plumb. of Kansas, opposing
the Mckinley tariff, August IS. 1897
There are dozens of lines Of manu-
features covered by the terms of this
bill which are controlled by trusts .
I do not know of any better way to
start in at least to reduce the exac-
lions of trusts than to cut down the
shelter behind which trusts are Gre
ated."
Quotations on this line from republ-
can authorities can be easily extended.
If there were no other reasons but two
why the high robber tariff tax should
be heavily raced, they are every way
sufficient:
the United States Supreme Court as
given above.
2. A high tariff Is the mother of
trusts. 1t nurses them at the bottle
and afterwards gives 1t to them in
hogsheads. The tariff is the most fer
tile. source of ~monopolies. Wipe it out or
reduce it to a strictly revenue basis,
and there will be no devour1ng. wicked
trusts. Restriction of the foundation
is the first step in the remedy. Repeal
every Law in the United States that in
any way restricts production and trade.
Do hat and the relief Of a vast burden
will come to the people, and " with full
freedom of competition rus will de-
solve like snow in sunshine" Let it
be tried. Thepeople if wise, if they un-
derstand their own interests will never
be satisfied for another hour until the
robber tariff is cut down fun two
thirds, until 1T reaches the revenue
point, and the trusts are swept away
never to return.
Suppose the Wilmington municipal
government should dare to levy a tax
for the benefit of one special class
say for all men with more than $780,
900. What a stir and indignation would
be aroused, how the voice of the people
would ring out, and what meetings OF
indignation and protests would be held.
1t would be no more oppressive and
abusive and immoral to perpetrate
such a wrong than 1t is for the con-
gress to levy a high tax for the benefit
of the manufacturing class. compelling
IA, 900, 900 of people to work to enrich a
million or two already rich.

VAST INSPIRATION CONSUMED

What Is up? The country -emem.
berS what a stir was made a. the con-
gress and in republican circles over the
great speech" as it was called. OF
young senator Beverfdge on the great
expansion hobby of Mckinley and his
party. 1t was such a awakening ire
mendous speech, according to he ora
cle9, that it's equal had not been heard
in a long time. It was Demosthenic and
sterian and what not. 1t was very
warm, very spread-eagle, very oracu
lar. The now we'll known Mr.. Dooley"
Of Chicago, said of it:-'Twas a
speech we cud waltz to. Even younger
men thin Sinitor Beverage rave nivir
made grander orations." 1t was Nigh
ty and fighty, it was splendid and scin-
tilating and all that-grand, glorious,
and ~grandiose. Eulogy was exhaust
ed. Republican editors dealt in heroic
displays and fired guns in their col
umns in the highest Of newspaper
shooting. Pyrotechnfes ran riot and
the political heavens were illumined as
never before.
The republican national committee
have determined to squelch that fam
GUS speech Sc full of youthful agrees
siveness and ireddescence. They nave
burned-actually burned 200,0 900 copies
of that fiery masterpiece of aspiring
oratory and full f1edged buncome. The
Baltimore Sun, earnestly and very ably
supporting Bryan now, has an editor
ial on THE Martyrdom of B~everidge."
and from it we copy as follows:
1T seems like a pity that such a nag
nificent flight Of eloquence as the
speech of Mr.. Beverfdge cannot be util-
lied. When he unbottled in the SEN
ate chamber the American Eagle
Doodles gave u~tterance from Sitka to
Key West. They simply could not help
1t. Such e~loquence made that Of Dam
lei Webster and Fog Horn Foraker
seem cheap and insipid. No! Mo-"
shouted the child orator, t ocean
unites us; steam unites us; electricity
uniteS us; all the elements OF nature
unites us to the region where duty and
interest calls U.S." And thus he wen
on
Nothing before or since, with the sin
gle exception Of '"Teddy's" speech to
the Codington County Cow Punchers,
even approaches it for fervor. In the
speakers minds eye the great ocean
had been already annexed along with
all it's circumcircled islands, and there
was an expanding sphere of influence
destined finally to take in China. He
did not gag at the word empire. He
hurled dt in defiance"
But like many another phosphores-
cent orator his "spluterations" had an
end, and ne with it. He expired like
a tallow-dip with that one greatly
lauded effort And now under Ham
mas leadership the republican man.:g-
ing committee cremate the production
and say in effect hat it is not the
kind of Beveridge we prefer now. The
Sun cruelty suggests that this speech
that flashed with the highfalution was
the fountain whence that roaring hum
bug. Teddy, the Rough Rider of Goth
am, obtained his inspiration" That
is too bad. Gone up into the flames
those fifth of a million of copies. What
will Teddy do now?
