they will not be rushed to death while the season

At the close OF the World war the American people

Speaking of Income Tax
Collections

If money talks then some Of the story OF the cost
of the Wall Street speculative carnival is being told
by the federal tax collectors. Their figures show a
decrease OF s149, 236. 72l in income tax collected the
first nine months Of the 1890 calendar year. Out Of
the 70 collection districts only Il showed an increase
while so showed decrease. Sixty-seven Of the 70
districts showed the effect Of the decreased individual
income while as showed decreases in the corporation
collections
New York state paid the largest income tax but
scored a decrease OF s4s.s 900. while North Dakota
had the smaller total tax showing a decrease Of sl70.-
203. New York is the seat Of the great financial CEN
ter OF the western world. North Dakota Is an agri-
cultural state and sends TO the American senate two
sons of Joseph r. Grundy's wild jackasses."
There are surface indications that the sons Of wild
~iackasses are running amuck in many mid-western
and north western commemorative. That is. they
call themselves republicans but they are not Of the
Grundy type.
