SURE THING.

that entire three hundred millions was to
be extracted from them in some mysterlus
but painful manner. The less taxes man
pays the greater the outrage to him OF any
taxation at ALL We can look out ahead
now and see jim Mann and Uncle Joe
Cannon and Boise Penrose and Reed Smoot
and John W. Wee isirg solemnly in Their
places and assevervating that if the RePub-
licans had remained in power this would
not have happened, that plenty OF money
would have been available, and that this IS
an outrage comparable only to the late
Senator Stewards horrendous conception
of the crime of '73.
The Democrats will be put to It to de-
wise financial program that will meet the
requirments. If they attempt to fuss with
the tariff as they may-there will be he
publican standpatters on every hand yowl-
ing for a return to the high protective
system, and pointing out with deep impre-
cation in their voices that the abandon
ment of that sacred policy is what has
caused this stringency in the treasury. 1t
they go to increase the income-tax returns
by decreeing that incomes Of two thousand
dollars year shall be taxed, for example,
and all above those, they will have the
army of two-thousand-dollar boys on their
necks. If they advocate bond issue
they will be stunned by the yell of pro-
test from the chaps who insist that il is en-
tirely criminal to propose bond issue in
time of peace. Oh, believe me, brethren,
saying we should be prepared is one thing
and finding the money to prepare with is
entirely another. from the Satur-
day Evening Post.
