The American Merchant Marine.

In July 1872 vessels, with an aggregate
gross tonnage of 8.2O7 tons, were added
to the American merchant marine. which
continues to grow steadily in all branches
of trade save that in which it's increase
would be the most helpful to a restora-
ton of our old-time prominence on the
high seas. Were we to maintain the rate
of the July output for twelve-month
we should have an annual addition to our
cargo carriers almost equaling the year
ly output Of our shipyards in the days
when the American flag was familiar in
all great ports from Riga to Bombay.
Today the orders that keep our shipyards
going come from the coastwise trade.
with, at present. considerable demand
that reflects preparation for the compile
ton of the Panama Canal. The largest
steamer launched in July was for service
on the great lakes, but next in tonnage
was one that will show the American flag
on the west coast Of South America, as
soon as the Canal is opened. Boston

Asks Pardon For Patterson

Hon. John L. Snuff, of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, started a movement
in that city to secure a pardon
for Mr.. John H. Patterson, Presi-
dent of the National Cash Regis
ter Company, of Dayton, Ohio.
A few weeks since MIR. Patterson
was sentenced in the United
States Court at Cincinnati to
serve one year in the Federal
prison on the charge of violating
the Sherman antitrust law. An
appeal is now pending in the
United States Supreme Court.
Since receiving the sentence of
the lower court, a great flood
swept the Miami Valley, causing
great loss of both life and prop
erty. At Dayton many lost their
lives and millions of dollars
worth of property was destroyed.
Mr.. Patterson spent large sums
of money for the succor of the
flood victims, and he and his en-
tire family gave every assistance
to the afflicted. In starting the
movement to have President
Wilson pardon Mr.. Patterson, the
Hon. John L. Snuff said:
"A man who has done so much
for the flood sufferers at Dayton
as Patterson, should not be al
lowed to go to prison. Patterson
has given more than freely of
his private fortune to relieve con-
ditions at Dayton, and has turned
his home over to the relief COM
to be used as a hospital"
Many Richmond and Madison
people are deeply inter
eSted in this movement. Mr..
Snuff, the originator, is d native
of Scott county, and for num-
Der of years was located in this
city, and is we'll and favoralbly
known to many of our people,
who wish him success in his
efforts to secure a pardon for the
man who has done so much for
humanity.

THE FREE LIST BILL

The Democratic Congress starts
out with a bill putting many
things that are now highly pro,
tected on the free list. It pre-
diets its speedy passage by both
House and Senate.
The tariff is a local measure
and we do not believe that there
will be any unanimity of senti-
ment about a tariff bill. Human
nature is the same the world
over and we recall the words
touch a mans pocket book and
you touch his heart" The Dem
Ocratic Congressman who repre-
sent constituents in tariff pro-
tected districts, will stand for
their special interests. And so it
will go through the whole list.
We have great confidence in
the President and his cabinet and
if it is wise to pass bill putting
practically the whole business in
tereSts of the United States on
a free basis, we doubt not that
he and his associates will be able
to clearly show Congress its
duty and that it will wisely and
expeditiously perform same.
There is a difference, however,
between repairing and rebuilding.
One strengthens and preserves,
the other destroys and rebuilds.
This County wants repair work;
a complete renovation of the SUI
perstructure, a taking out of the
effete and replacing with virile,
progressive methods. 1t wants
wise reconstruction; not wholesale
destruction.
The end to be attained is the
relief of a tax ridden people; to
lower the cost of living; to bring
the necessities of life in the reach
of the poor. If the methods pro-
posed will accomplish this benef-
cent result, God speed the day
for their adoption.

THE INCOME TAX LAW

The burden of taxation is to
be increased soon. The bill to
be introduced in Congress pro-
vides for a tax on incomes as
follows:
No tax on incomes of less than
$4,000.
| per cent. on incomes between
$4,000 and $4,000.
2 per cent. from $4,000 to
$4,000.
3 per cent. from $4,000 to
100000.
A per cent. on all incomes over
100000.
This law will undoubtedly
reach many Madison county
people.
But its time enough to get
scared when the ghost appears.
.lhe bill will have rough sailing
before it reaches the President.
The house and senate are not in
the habit of voting a tax on
themselves. They will be slow
in voting a tax of $500 per an
mum each on the members of
Congress.
However the unanimity of it's
endorsement as an amendment
to the Constitution, may impel
them to do so. Or the personal
influence of the President and |
Mr.. Bryan may pull the measure
through.
Both political parties endorsed
he measure before the election.
