THE TAMMANY BRAVES.
Their Trip to Denver VIII Cost One
Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Hundred Thousand Dollars.
New York, July 2.-There is hur-
ry and hustle today at the wigwam
of Tammany, where the finishing
touches are being added to the prep
arations for the start to Denver to-
morrow. About $50 braves will make
up the party. They expect to have
coolies of fun, under the leadership
of Big Chief Murphy, and they ex-
pect to pay at least s115, 900 for it.
This is the most modest estimate of
those in charge of the deluxe excur-
sion to the mile-high town. The ar
rangements include the provision of
a liberal quantity of all varieties of
snake-bite remedy. The braves have
heard that there are lots of serpents
out in the wild and woody and undis-
covered country to which they are
going and they will not go unpre
pared.
Five special trains will carry $50
braves to the powwow. Two trains
will go over the New York Central,
two over the Pennsylvania and one
over the Erie railroad. All will be
made up of cars de luxe
Upon arriving in Denver the Tam
many men will parade with martial
music before going to headquarters
at the Brown Palace hotel They ex-
pect to make a fine appearance,
headed by Big Chief Charles F. Muir
ply
The cost of transportation for each
brave will be $50 the round trip,
with $22 extra for a berth. 1t is es-
timated that each man will eat
and drink-$19 worth.
The total cost of transportation is
figured at $4,000, with $4,000
more to make big show in Denver
Tom" Smith, secretary of Tam
many Hall, the mostxfamous man of
that name east OF Pixies Peak, has
charge of the excursion So the trip
is bound to be success no matter

FRESH BURDENS FOR THE
BACKS OF THE PEOPLE.

We hear a good deal these days
about shifting the tax burden from
the masses on to the corporations,
which statement will not bear close
scrutiny, for in the last analysis the
money collected by the states comes
out of the agricultural. the mining
and the manufacturing industries;
comes from the producers of the
wealth
But we hear very little about re-
duction in expenditures. No one
stands forth to tell us about the
adjustment of useless Offices. No one
shows how by practicing economy we
have lightened the burden Of taxa
ton. Oh, no; all we hear is that the
burden has been shifted.
The reason for the great and over
whelmfng silence under this head Is
that there has been gradual increase
in the amount extracted from the
people. In four years the burden has
bCCA lACAC0bCu uOAC tudu uuL-
dred thousand dollars!
That is why it became necessary to
shift the burden"-to conceal the
tax. Paying the tax through the cor
porations has the appearance of shift
ing the burden, but it's only an ap-
pearance, for the corporation must
collect from the people every dollar
it pays to the tax gatherer
Each legislature creates some new
department-adds some fresh bur
den to the backs of the people-and
hence extraordinary methods of tax
alton; some new scheme to conceal
from the taxpayer the fact that he is
being held up for the benefit of the
pie eaters.
And here come our good friends

complaints as to taxation, and them
selves exhibitors Of a program tina

the money you've been saving up for q

disburse it, buying things you can't af
