was a constant grief that he and
his father had judged you harshly;
that he would give his fortune to

AS the man listened. defiance
melted out of him; he did not

occasions such as the rules fight in the
House, the Payne-Aldrieh tariff bill, in
the Wickersham railway measure. And
you have a right to know this, and to act
upon it.
Your congressman at Washington
ought To represent you, not only because
this Is a government Of the people.
but because you reward HMM honor
and money. America is almost the only
civilized nation whose government is
supported by a sort of poll tax on the
people. Except for the recent tax on cor
porations, which the corporations have
gone into the courts TO defeat, none Of
the things taxed in most Of the coun
tries Of the world-property, wealth,
privilege, incomes, inheritances--is ma
tionally taxed in this country Almost
alone, America taxes the weak rather
than the strong, necessity rather than
ability, consumption rather than wealth.
And the average man pays much more
than his share, for be uses almost as
much sugar and meat aud food stuffs
as the rich. lie wears almost as many
coats and shoes, and uses almost as
much tobacco and beer.
That is why say you support the
government at Washington. You pay
the members Of Congress. You pay the
pension. build the warships, contribute
to the pork BARREL You are build
ing the Panama canal and the post
Offices You are making the river and

presidents junkets. For this, II for nc
other reason, You have q right to ex
pect your agent at Washington to repre-

discharge him If he did not do so. And
if he represented your competitor, or
gave away your goods. or plundered
your safe, you would not only discharge
him, but would set the grand jury in
motion to prosecute him as well.--Fred-
