It reduces taxation tp the peo pie. 2. It compels the wealth of the country to pay a fair share of the taxation by the imposition of an in come tax, 3. It embraces the best antitrust law ever enacted. The so-called antitrust law passed by Reed's Congress in 1800 was found to be of little or no effect, and the fojjowjng cections were inserted in the Tariff I ill. and. these sections are now law: "Sec 73. That eyery combination conspiracy, trust, agreement or con tract is hereby declared to bp con - trary to public policy, illegal and void, when the same is made by or ! between two or more persons corpor - ! ations, either of whom is engaged in j importing any article flora any for- ! eign country into the United States, land when such combination, con ; epiracy, trust, agreement or contract I !...",, . . : ..r; articles imt ortexl or intended to be imported into the United Stales, or - - :.. UJ UJ4,!U,'w"ut ",w n"" I ; .-ucu anicic cuic.s w. ! Times,,.. ed to enter. Every person who is or shall hereafter be engaged in the im portation of ooods or any com mod y from any foreign country in violation of this section of this act, or who shall combine or conspire with an other to violate the same, is guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conyiction thereof in any court of the United States, such person shall be fined in a sum not less han $100 and not ex $5,000, and shall be further punish, ed by inprisonraent, in the discre tion of the Court, for a term not less than three months nor exceeding twelve months. Sac 74. That the several Cirs cuit Courts of the United Slates are hereby invented with jurisdiction to prevent and restrain violations of section 73 of this act; and it shall be the duty of the several District Attorneys qf the Jnited States, in their respective districts, under the the direction of the Attorney-GeDeral to institute proceedings in equity to prevent and restrain such violations. Such proceedings may be by way of petitions setting forth the case and praying that such violations shall be enjoined or o herwise prohibited. Wden the parties complain or shall have been uul notified of such peti tion the Court shall proceed, as ooii as may be, to the hearing and dfUer initiation of the case; ai d pending such petition and before final decree the Court mny at any time make such temporaiy restraining order ;r prohibition as shall be deemed just in the premises, "Sec. 75. That whenever it shall appear to the Court before whioh any proceeding under the 74th section ol this act may be pending that the ends of justice require that other .artics should be brought before the Court, the Court may cause them t to be summons, whetner tbej reside in the district in which the court is ueld 01 not; and subpoenas to that end may be served in any district by the Marshal thereof, "Sec 76. That any property owned under any contract or by anj combination, or pursuant to any con--pirac3' (and being the subject 1 hereof) ueuiioned in section 73 of this act, and being in the course of transposi tion from one State to another, or to or from a Territory, or the District of Columbia, shall be forfeited to the United States, and may be seized and condemned by1 like proceedings hs those provided by law for the for feiture, seizure aud condemnation ol property imported into the United States contrary to law. "Sec. 77. That any persen who shall be injured in his business orj property by any other person or cor poration by reason of anything for bidden or declared to be unlawful by this act mav sue thereof in any Cir cuit Court of the United States in the dictrict.in which the defendant resides or is found, without respect o the amount in controversy, and shall recover threefold the damages by him sustained, aud tho cost of suit, including a reasonable attor ney's fee." It is safe to perdict. that under this law no trust of any important character will ever be formed in the United States that will not. be pun ished, and that with severity. XII Ii INCOME TAX. Not the least of the good results of Democratic legislation was the imposition of an income tax. The big fortunes of the country have been largely made from two sources: 1. Contracts with the (Jovem meut during tjie war, and 2 Kxeessive profits made b levying a tax on all the people fur j the b. i.efit of a few ricti maiiiifao-j I .acluri s. 1 i The men who own these fortum- j nave invested largely m Cover;. mem j hot ds. ami in this way, and by con : verting their money into Treasury: notes at the time ti.ey ire required to ; 1 give in their pioperty for taxation.; ; liavc etcaped their just baiden f j taxa-ion. i ! It Ims been a d.CleuIt plan to k- ow j j how oest to reach them fairly, and al . vie same inue rii;tve .ui people wuo have been burdened by taxation on ti, o. . ; r. iw. -r. 1 ! anal i8th, wa th b-sc piau. lint ,;eop e turne.t . h,m out of po.rer . , wwuMiiueir-iHjiicy mn0e iLe ricn j richer nd the iv pH,rer. , j.ue ropuiist, turou-u Mr. Peller, 1 $1.00 Per Year In Advance. NO. 32. proposed that a'l taxation be levin1 on real estate, and that owners of stocks, bonds antfall other property, except lands, be exempt from taxa. lion. The Democrats finally agreed, a minority of the party opposing, to raise part of the revenue from a two per cent, tax on the incomes of all individuals and corporations whose incomes exceed 4,000. The pro position was not enacted i'to a law without a big fight, , The wealthy clashes, who have escaped taxation so long that we think it a crime to be compelled to day tax, raised a great hue and cry against the ircome tx. It was "inquisitorial, uncoustitutions al and unjust," and all that sort of ihing. But the Dcmocrale knew what the howls meant. "The hit dog holders." Nobody' objected to the tax except those wh had for years enjoyed exemption from fair taxation. A strong lobby at Wash ington, backed by many city news papers and big poll iciaas, fought it to the bitter end. But the opposition availed nothing The income tax is a part of the new tariff law, and it is estimated that under its operations thirty million sollars will be collected this year. There is no need of a defense of this law. It carries its own defense. Its passage, despite the opposition to it by the worthy lobby, the solid Hes publican party, and part of the Pop ulists, shows that the Democratic party is the true "patty of the peos pie." When the Populist prate about what they would do to equalize tax ation ask them why Peffer voted tgainst the income tax. The concentration of wealth uritler the system fostered by Republican legislation is notable. Mr. Thomas G. Shearman, high authority on such matters, has prepared the following table showing that 25,000 persons possess more than one half the entire wealth of this country, wh'ch is es timated to be sixty billions of dol lars : 200 persons have 20,000,000...:..$ 4,(H)0,0V).K)0 400 1.000 2,000 6,000 15,000 10,000.000 4,000,000,000 5,000,000..... 5,OOM,000,00., 2,50,000 5,000,000,000 1,000,000 6,000,000,000 500,000 7,3OO,0O0,00 4,600 persons have 31J.00,0O0.00o The income tax 'wi'l be paid by persons who have large propeities. and who otherwise would not con cnbute to the .maintenance of the Government that gives security to their property in any just proportion to the security . and benefits they ens There was an income tax during the war and immediately after the war but at the first opportunity the Re publican party cut it down and finally repealedit entirely. It has now been re stored at the first time when we have a Demooratic President and a Demos eratic Congress to work together for the benefit of the people. Tlie Income 'Fnx I(:iw Section 27 of the Tariff Law reads: "That from and after the first day ol January, and Jntil the first day of January 190Q, there shajie assessed, levied, collected and paid annually upon tha gains, profits and income rceceived in the preceding calander year by every citizen of the United States, whether residing at home or abroad, and every person residing therein, whether said gains, profits and income be derived from any kind of property, rents, interest, dividends or salaries, or from any profession, trade, or employment or vocation caraied on in the United States or elsewhere, or :rom any other source whatever, a tax of two per centum n 1 he amount so deprived oyer and :.h..vn four llioimnnd dollars- III'..

Does that relationship exist between these two great foree.-, upon the har;nony of which depends the greatness of our rountrv and the happhiess of our people? S far lrom these two great forces being har monious the fact is there is open, bitter and releiiilcs warfare between them. ThU fact is shown by the great Chicago strikes and their con nectii gs links throughout the great Western country. In those strikes a great many huoien lives were lost and millions of property destroyed Wh it was the cause of all this! No rational mm will deny the fact that, he Republican party is responsible for all the "class legislation" of the p::st thirty years in the United States Corgress. No one will deny that this "class legislation" 'naturally fiui minated in the combination of vst amounts of capital and the formation of trusts in tLc great mar. ufaclu ring interests ol the country. TI13 crown ing act of this Rephubliran party was the passage of what is called "The McKinley Tariff Bill," This bill, by its prohibitory rates, preven. ted the importation of cvcrytlnn,; manufactured by these great combin es and trusts, and there by secured to themselves the' trade of the whole of this great .IN publje at such prjee as the trust chose to cha'ie. Tlio peopi? were comi-elld to buy Umv. the trut. or go without the neees.viri'.rj of life, for tin: McKinley Hill preven ted the siu-a iiom h:iiing compelis tion from .it. road. The uiidn ground, upon whii-.h She trusts baed this exs traordinary cairns to class legislation was that they would be enabled to, pay thier labors higher wages.After many years of bentits under such legislation the proprietors of the 1'uH: man Palace Car Company" find them selves the owners of a great manv millions of dollars in money and pro pertv. How was U with their labor ers? Their waged so small that they found they could not support them selves and pay hou.-e rent. Did they complain? No, they did not. yi14t then? The proprietors of the "Pull man Car Company" rememberfe4 that they had told their laborers in 1892 that they were Republicans anJ high p-otective tariff men, and that they would take care of thvjui if they would vote for Mr Harrison for Prca ideut. Wrhen tliey found that Sir, 'leve'and bad received 2,000 major.s ty instead of giving Mr. Harrison 2, 000 majority in that town their indig nation knew no bounds. They foqna that their Jaborcs were low tariff Democrats and i mined. ally determin ed to starve them out. What did the3 do? They notified their labor, ers that if they continued to work they would do so at reduced wages. The laborers showed that thier waes barely supported them and pointed to their arrearage of rents of over $70,000 to prove the fact. The corns pany prcMsted in their determ.inas tion to make theru work for less money or leave. The laborers said that to work was to starve, therefore they prefered striking to starving. The strike came, srjd spread, througli all the labor organizations of. that country.
