ike duucuhc press. Ravenna, Wednesday, Nov. 21, 1894, The Income Tax Again. The opulent money gamblers of the East, constituting the center of opposition to the income tax, have based their objections to the measure very largely on what may be interpreted as its alleged Impracticable equi ty, and have seemingly placed their chief reliance on the specious invention designed to bring into disrepute a just and useful law. Because of prospective fraud and perjury and concealing of incomes; of prophetic " pulls " between millionaire subjects of the statute and officials commissioned for the collection of the tax ; because some will par tially or wholly escape while the rest must pay in full ; in short, because of a theoretical imperfection of execution the enactment is one of mischievous import, fit only to be condemned and repealed. In addition to this the law is more or less denounced as a 'vile specimen of class legislation, a tribute on " brains" and " industry," and " honor able endeavor," &c, &c. Among the many published criticisms against the measure we have yet to see one - that did not start many degrees this side of first principles. The justification or inequity of the law is arrived at only by measuring it from the ground up. But, as usually hap pens where self instead of principle lies at the bottom of a course of conduct, the prop- osition on which is laid the greatest stress and which is urged most persistently, is the one least worthy of disputati ve consideration, To say that a measure is hopelessly vicious or inherently wrong because it cannot be perfectly enforced, is a specimen of states- manship compared to which Coxeyism is sane and sound. The same objection ap piles wun euipuaiic lurve iu cveijr ian ' . in the Union. It is the universal testimony of officials that large fortunes and properties are " covered up," to a degree utterly im possible for the individual of moderate moans fr.

To plead the "statute of weakness" in behalf pi uncle sam is tne " heicht of rtuerile absurdity. The methods of executing a law is a very different thing " from the law itself.

" but the principle has never been interfered wins "or disturbed.- Indeed, it was to eive greater force and expression to the princi pie that the changes were made, and if the , principle underlying the income tax be right it then becomes the duty and should be the - pleasure of- these captious complainers to in iiTriuiTi cr Mmodipa for whntever lm- s ... : n n nav.

' But the " Un-American Monstrositys' has been attacked because of its alleged class discrimination. : Rightly or wrongly pur .. present social system has given xise to ex tremes of "classes." and our laws must therefore deal with the conditions as they - - are, and while many enactments are on our law books that are wrong in the abstract they nevertheless become right because of their surroundings and application. There is an unwritten law in the" mind of the average . citizen that the accumulation by individuals - of such enormous properties is morally - wrong, and it is one of the evils against the well being of the masses that mu6t be dealt with by the statesmen of the future. It should be remembered that all our laws and ' institutions are but humau; that as men pro gress to a higher estate, conceptions and practices once considered righteous become of an opposite character in succeeding gen- - erations. Imperfection is the law of human law, and the manifest duty of an enlightened people is to advance to ward the ideal instead - of away from it. . Because a thing is legal by no means insures its righteousness, other wise ,the question in subject could not be under discussion now. - All wealth is created by labor, but not every possessor of wealth is alaborer. Under the existing social system a few individuals ',' have been enabled by superior-financial ' cunning and inetinct to monopolize so much ' of the material wealth of the country that at the present time one per cent of the popula- tion own more ihan the remaining 99 per cent. It is not in the moral arithmetic to figure out any justice or equity in this state of economics. Manifestly there is need of radical changes in this great particular, but it is idle to expect them in a day. The law of evolution is omnipresent and attaches to the social development of man as certainly as to the creation of a plant. But progress is the word and the income tax is one ol the factors in the ultimate solution of the mighty problem of establishing a higher and better social estate. The advantages and prestige ol wealth are so disproportionate to the meager privileges and powers attaching toifinancial mediocrity that an equal rateof taxation between the two is patently out of the moral equilibrium. As long as ,men possess the prerogatives of wealth let them pay for them, for it is a matter of simple justice, and takes from the producer the double burden of paying in an equal ratio with the millionaire while deprived of his peculiar privileges. If " pay for what you receive" be right then it is eminently so for the possessors of these social franchises, whose title is exclusive, to pay for them. - Again, the average income above $4,000 per year is not that of the toiler in the ranks of imperative industry, supplying the de mands of the 19th century civilization. It is realized in the main by those who come under the head of money manipulators, speculators who traffic in the necessities of humanity without ever contributing to the creation of their supply. So that the law in no sense falls on the honest toiler, but rec ognizing what he has already contributed to the common fund exempts him from further tribute. It credits him with what he has done, and charges and collects from the other a partial equivalent of what he has not done. . The income tax above $4,000 is a mat ter of law and not of social equity, so that the tax is a very small offset against the in dustrial obligations due and unpaid from Its subjects. Taxes should at least be paid proportionately by the monied few with the citizen of ordinary means, but we do not fear honest contradiction when we say this is net the case in a bingle State or political com munity in the country. Given a considera ble fortune or property, yb the manipulation of i. which incomes exceeding $4,000 are " earned," and it follows with almost unva rying regularity that these same incomes have paid much less toward the maintenance "of the public institutions than should have been the case. Herein the income tax cor rects in a measure the inequality of burdens relatively sustained by the two classes. QThere are laws providing a supremepenal ty for murder. Atrocious murders are nev ertheless matters of not infrequent occur rence. Therefore, do not attempt to rem edy the executive features of the laws, but abolish them! The secret of this opposition lies in the recognition by those who fathered it of the faint " beginning of the end," toward which advancing civilization is por tending, and the income tax which " looks that way" is logically an object of supreme attact The Bepublican press has of course allied itself against the people and seconded the efforts of the rich objectors in season and out of season- Should their party again gain control of the government this equitable law will speedily become a matter of history. The following are the Easter dates to the end of the Century: March 25, 1895, April 14, 1896; April 5,1897; April 18, 1898; April 10, 1899; April 15, 1900. In 1890, the white population of the South numbered 15,549,358, negroe and colored 6, 898,800. In 1880 the figures were 12,578,252 and 6,099,253 respectively, showing that the whiles increased very much faster than the blacks during that decade, the comparative rates of increase between the two races for that period being 23.6 and 13.1 per cent. The last census of London gave the great metropolis of the world a population of 4, 231,431. That of Paris was 2,447,957. The combined population of New York and Brooklyn is now about 3,000,000, and when the two cities are consolidated, as appears to be a near-future certainty, the great city will supplant the French Capitol in numerical superiority Chicago, according to the most reliable newspaper estimates has at the pres ent time a population of fully 1,500,000. Eugene V. Debs, President of the Amer ican Railway Union, with the nine Directors of the Association and sixty other alleged conspirators who took part in the recent strike, were arraigned in the U. S. Court in Chicago, last Friday morning, before Judge Grosscup. A motion to quash all the indict ments was made, and December 4 set for the time of its hearing, and January 8th for the final trial of the case, should the motion be overruled, as it probably will be. Cincinnati went Republican by more than 20,000 in the recent deluge. But last week in an election for a Judgeship, the same city went Democratic by over 3,000, McKinley & Co., who are hugging the delu sion that the Democratic party is dead, will find it a very lively corpse to deal with. Democracy has buried McKinleylsm, and will yet save the country from a corrupted Republicanism. , -. The N. Y., P. & O. bondholders held meeting in London last Friday and decided to accept the report of the Trustees on finan cial reconstruction, which is a scheme to relieve the road entirely from debt in 37. years, and to expend $2,000,000 in improving the road in the next five years. Cutting down grades, double tracking and making terminal facilities, will be the principal im provements made. Col. Coit and Sheriff Cook, who were in command of the militia at Washington Court House during the recent riot growing out of the attempt to lynch a negro rapist, have both been indicted for murder. The coroner previously rendered his verdict in which he found that the citizens shot during the riot came to their death by bullets fired by the militia at a time whem there was no danger to them or anyone, or any danger of rescuing the negro from the custody of the officers. ' - - - - The average annual suicide rate per 100,- 000 persons living in ' Saxony is 31.1 the highest in the world. Denmark comes next with 25.8. France is sixth in the scale, the rate being 15.7. In England and Wales the rate is 6.9; Scotland 4; Italy 3.7; United States 3.4; Russia 2.9; Ireland 1.7 and Spain,: the lowest, 1.4. While the Spaniard is usually reputed to be a. perfect Death Devil, his mortuary passions evidently cease almost wholly when self is suggested for the subject. Perhaps it is the very, intemperance of his sanguinary temperament that causes him to refrain from self murder in order that he may live to gratify his" life taking heroism on others. The average Yankee is ioo busy to spend the necessary time for the taking of such a trifle as his own life.. As long as he can see a dollar in sight the problem of how to get it excludes pretty much all other con siderations, and there is very little danger of his voluntarily stepping into the Chariot of the White Horses. - Among the compara tively few Americans who commit the " self shuffling" act, the principal cause is insanity that is, mental disturbance apparent to the ordinary observer. June, it is said, is the favorite month, and the 11th the favorite day of the month for the commission of the act in this country. . HIRAM. Considerable excitement prevailed here last week in the College circle, - occasioned by the annual strife between the Freshman and Sophomore classes: " Friday was to have been Sophomore class day," and thecustom,is to float the Class banner from the College tower, and the same is the custom of the Freshman class ; and each strives to prevent the other from floating its banner, or if float ing to capture it. On some of the occasions bad biood is aroused, and sometimes flows The Freshmen took possession of the tower and held it till Friday evening, notwith standing the force, strategy, and seige brought-to bear by the Sophmores. - The gentlemen of the Freshmen ' class " were cheered and encouraged by the ladies of the class, who furnished blankets, quilts and delicious luncheons to those -holding - the tower. Sometime Thursday night the peril ous feat was accomplished of taking down the.last year'sSophomore banner and putting the Freshmen's white and yellow banner in i ts place, where it now . defiantly floats from the apex of the tower. The Sophomores be- lug baffled, postponed their Class day to sometime in the future. The revival meetings are in progress and a fair interest has been aroused. Ex-Lieut Gov. Chase, of Indiana, conducts the services in which he takes occasion, frequently, to boom his friend,- Benny Harrison ; so much so, that doubts have arisen which to confess Christ or Ben and so doubting, neither may be confessed. McKinley must look to his fences. Dr. Paige, of this place, assisted by Dr. Sabin, of Warren, performeda very delicate and dangerous operation, on a lady near Caton, last Saturday evening, by removing a large quantity of pus from the liver.

The Art Amateur Probably has never two more attractive col or plates than "The Boot-black," by J. G Brown, and "The Old Home by the Road side," by D. F. Hasbrouck, which appear in the November issue. Looking at these high ly artistic facsimiles of oil paintings, it is easy to understand why a medal was award ed at the World's Eair to the Art Amateur, and why the Chicago Boardof Education lately introduced into the High Schools of that city the Art Amateur's color studies as painting models they have long been so used in the best art schools and academies But these charming pictures are equally valuable for framing, and, indeed, they are so used in thousands of American homes. This very practical Art Magazine, however, by no means depends on its color plates alone for its popularity. What most conduces to its extraordinary success is that by giving a profusion of working designs, with easily understood directions for carrying them out, it enables so many young people, of both sexes, to earn a living by painting, carving, designing and illustrating. No person of artistic tastes, who wishes to turn them to profit, can afford to be without this sumptu ous periodical. (PBICE, 35 CENTS.) MONTAGUE MARKS, Publisher, 23 Union Square, New York. One Score and One. j The twenty-first annual convention of the V. C. T. U. convened in Music Hall in the city of Cleveland, last Friday, where, one score and one years ago the Society was or ganized. The convention was called to order and presided over by Frances E. Willard, the ' uncrowned Queen of America." In speaking of the convention, the Plain Dealer says: "The first convention session was not a noisy one. If a reminder had been necessary to subdue any inclination to boisterousness on the part of the delegates, they could have found it in the draped pic ture of Mrs. Mary A. 'Woodbridge, a wreath of ivy hanging from its corner, whose death about a month ago has saddened the heart of the W. C. T. U. member. The picture graced the platform in a prominent position just back of the speaker's table." The opening prayer was made by Rev. Frances Townsley.of Nebraska, who offered thanks for the twenty-first birthday of the W. C. T. U. movement, since guided and guarded by a love as strong at fatherhood, true as brotherhood, and tender and loving as motherhood. She also referred touching- ly to the death of Mrs. Woodbridge. "Then Miss Willard arose. In a voice broken with emotion, and eyes filled with tears, she said : For fifteen years when we reached this point on our program, Mrs. Mary A. Wood bridge was with us to take charge of it. She was so happy in her anticipations of this occasion ; she looked forward to it with so much earnestness; she wrote me three or four times a day, ending every other sen tence with the expression, 'Praise the Lord.1 Our Mary Woodbridge is not with us. There is the picture of her genial face. I cannot but think that she is with us. I believe they who have gone before know about us, and are glad." After the calling of the roll by Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, who was associated with Mrs, Woodbridge from the first, Miss Willard resumed her address, able and comprehensive.- During her reference to Mrs. Wood- bridge there was scarcely a dry eye among the delegates. The address was followed by reading of telegrams, one of which was from Lady Henry Somerset, who is now in London, and the reading of the report of the Correspond ing Secretary, the late Mis. Woodbridge, The report showed a W. C. T. U. following of nearly half a million. , During the session Mr. Woodbridge and other members of the family were introduc ed to the convention. . . - - - The following extract from a letter receiv ed by H.

Under the head of "Up to Date Spirits, the Light of Truth publishes an illustrated account of an invention and its test, interest ing to believers and investigators in the so called Spiritual Phenomena. It devotes one entire page to the subject, and whether there be any foundation for the claims made in respect to the spiritual operation of the ma cnine, tne article abounds in suggestive thought and very profound depths of philo sopnical attainment. The invention is the work of G. W. N. Yost, now a resident of New York City, but formerly of Ravenna where he was engaged in the manufacture of the Acme Reaping and Mowing Machines, of which he claimed to be the inventor. The Light of Truth introduces the account as follows : "A new and interesting phase of the so called Spiritualistic Phenomena has been entered upon lately, and the New York Herald makes the first publication of the facts surrounding its manifestation. The new phenomena is the printing on a type writer of communications under the name of and said to emanate from the spirits of de parted mortals, it being asserted that the writing machine, is operated without the in tervention of human power. The first com munication of this sort to be made public is signed with the name of the great scientist Darwin, and was produced at the home of Col. Case, in New York." The account then goes on to detail the minutia of the invention and its subsequent operation, in which it is stated that it was manipulated in plain sight of the auditors, away from anything that would suggest hu man agency.
