INCOME Tax Law Fails.

In response to local demand. which.
BY the way. has been common in some
quarters In an parts OF the country,
the state OF South Carolina two years
ago passed an income tax law. 1t went
into effect January l. 1895. and. after
having been tried for two years and
been found to be a failure. has been
repealed, Il provided for a tax 20 be
levied upon the gross profit and income
ot every citizen in the state, whether
that income be derived from rents in
terest. dividends or salaries. in any pro-
fession or trade or from any other
soufee.
Whiie she aim was TO make it a gem
erai law. 1T reaBy host that character
when it came ,o liking the tax rate. All
incomes below $1,000 were 10 be ignored.
Above that amount the rate was ] per

or from $500 20 $500. , per cent on

from $4,000 10 sl5.oo0. and 5 per cent. On
anything above $1,000 The total re-
ceipts in taxes Tor the year 1885 we're
only a little more than 5000. and over
half OF this was paid by citizens ~

From the character OF the law Il can
be seen that II had those features which
have generally made income tax laws

Members OF the national middle-of-
the-road Populist committee declare
that Mr. Bryan is the logical candidate
of both the Populist and Democratic
parties, but they desire to nominate him
first and have the Democrats indorse
their choice. There should be no diff
Guilty experienced in bringing this re-
suit about. What difference does Il
make which party names Mr.. Bryan as
a candidate first. If both agree that he
represents their ideals and is the only
man whose name is to be mentioned in
connection with the first place on the
ticket? If Mr.. Bryan fills all the re-
quirements of the up-to-date Pop as well
as those of the modern Democrat, why
not get together and nominate him
without all this flddling over priority
and the rights of separate parties? The
contest this year. like that of 1896, VIII
be between Republicans and Popocrats.
and why should not all the Popocrats
get together and name their man just
as the Republicans will dc?

Frye and the Shipping Bill.

There is published in another column
an interview with Senator Frye which
recently appeared in the Philadelphia
Press. 1t relates to the shipping bill
now before congress, and is of interest
as throwing some light upon a subject

No one cares to dispute the fact that
our shipping has declined, and there is
need of some legislation to place it rela.-
lively where It was in the earlier part
OF the century. our exports have so
increased in late years that 1t is esti-
mated something like s1s2 900. 600 is now
paid annually to foreigners for doing
our carrying trade. II is a patriotic de-
sire that a part II not all OF these car
goes should be shipped In vessels OF

to draw arbitrary lines between differ
ent taxpayers as well as to establish
two classes of persons. one of which
should be liable for income taxes and
the other exempt. The law discrimi-
mated between citizens, something
which no just tax law should do. and it
established a tax system which was
contrary TO the generally accepted prin-
ciple in this matter that all people
should be subjected to that tax only
which is equal and uniform.
Those who demand an income tax
law are generally people who frankly
avow that the main object of such a law
is to get revenue from the richer class;
but no law will stand the test of time
which arbitrarily makes one set of peo-
pie subject to its provisions and ex-
empts another set. There is little fair
ness in men with incomes less than ST.
900 saying that all those enjoying more
than that amount shall pay taxes of a
certain per cent. into the public treas
ury. If the point of liability or exemp-
ton is to be named arbitrarily II may
be placed at $4,000 as easily as at $1,000.
and no law of such character Is going
to work with equal and exact justice 10
all citizens.
To escape attack because of its uncon-
stitutionality, an income tax law must
be without discrimination and affect
all persons. To be fair, the rate must
be uniform, and this would touch the
wages of the laborer as well as the
revenues of the so-called plutocrat. Any
tax law which operates upon small in
GENES will meet with strenuous opposi-
ton from the masses and II it Is drawn
with the idea OF exacting payments
from the millionaire alone, il is not an
equal and uniform tax, and very prop
erly would be declared nun because of
its unconstitutonallty. When the peo-
pie are ready to accept an income tax
law which affects all incomes, large and
small. and is without discrimination or
exemptions, such law may ne passed
and stand judicial test. but 1t is not
likely to before that time.

of their ostensible design, as outlined
above. so far 1t would seem that they
must be tolerated. as being necessary to
economic productions step further in
the direction taken when machinery
first began to replace hand labor. That
smaller concerns cannot compete with
them is an evil of precisely the same
character which overlook the hand
strcyed by the Introduction OF machin-
cry. In the trade of the world the coun-
try which conducts its industrial enter
prises on the larger scale will inevitably
take the business away from the coun-
try of small manufactures and conse-
quent enhanced cost Of production.
When the manufacturing combina-
tiens endeavor to do more than this.
however, when they endeavor to COM
pletely monopolize the product of any
single article of common use, then they
should be sharply met with repressive
legislation.
Absolute or relative mcnopolies are
clearly within the legislative power to
repress, prevent or destroy; but 1t is
far from clear that Il is either neces-
sary or desirable to prohibit absolutely
all combinations Of producers, whatever
may be the minor evils which may ac-
company this phase OF Industrial de-
velopmeHt.
