Words Of Denunciation.

When Edward Gibbon, the historian,
tells us that the Roman emperors as
certained the incomes of their subjects
by burning them at the stake. we feel
little regret that the glory OF Rome Is
no more. When we read how the busi-
ness men of the middle ages. especial
ly the very successful Jews. were In
geniously tortured to make them re-
veal their incomes We see some ad-
vantages in not living even in that
picturesque period. But we must not
exult prematurely!
The English income tax Is the model
upon which the present federal In
come tax ia based. A quarter OF
century after the English tax went In
to force 1t was repealed with an en-
thusiasm that is worth recalling. Dur
ing the Napoleonic wars the income
tax had been endured az a necessary
evil. But after Waterloo popular op-
position could no longer be restrained.

IT..
The intensity OF feeling may be gath
cred from Brougham's very popular
proposal that all records of the tax be
burned that posterity should never
know that such tax had existed. Well
may the Democrats ponder over these
things!
Gladstone's denunciation of the in

Abraham Lincoln. who must have had
in mind England's experience, wrote
TO the voters Of Illinois, by the

We do not wish to press the analogy
between Democratic tax officials and
locusts or any other kind of insects, in
structive though such analogy be. We
do wish, however. to counsel great re-
straint and good sense in administer
