They pretended first that it was forthe purpose of pro tection of infant industries, but finally they candidly proclaimed that they wanted to legislate for capital also; and they did it. How do you love its fruits? Are you satisfied with the kind of prosperity it has given? Why is it that nearly 1,000, 000 people of the United States are unemployed, without wages, and more people are begging for alms at this hour on this continent tban ever before since America was dis c vered? ; “Mr. Chairman, we will not dis- charge our duty to the people who suffer; we will not keep the pledges that we have made to them, we will not deserve that continued suppert that the American people have given to the Democratic party from time to time if we do not, like men, come resoultely to thegdicharge of these duties and determine, whatever else occurs, that robbery shall no longer be carried on by operation of law. Sir, let come what will, we will re duce this tariff to a revenue basis: we will impose taxes for public pur- poses and not for private gains, or to enable some individuals to ac cumulate private fortunes at the ex pense of others. The Government of the United States requires a vast amount of revenue to carry on its varlous operations. A less favored people cuuld not meet the excessive drain that is made for the purpose of maintaining it. It requires nearly $8 Federal taxes imposed upon every man, woman and child’ in the United States for this purpose This raised almost exclusively from con There is a very small part of it that is a tax upon the wealth of the country. It is impos- ed by way of taxes upon all spirits that enter into the drugs that are sumption. of the spirits that are consumed by thew, all of the tobacco that is used in various forms. But this is only a small portion of it, for the greater part is obtained from import duties |upon the clothes the people wear jand the things they must have for their comfort or existence. If a man jowns £50,000,000 or $100,0000,000 | States, as we some do, he pays only on what he eats, what he drinks, | what he wears, and the other things jhe uses. The time has come when this should be changed. Is it not time that great estates which are fended by our navy, whica are ben etited by the various operations of |government, should contribute in some greater degree to carry on that Government through which alone they could have been accumulated or | by which they are to be protected? The people of the United States do not ask that all of it shall be plac- |ed on accumulated wealth. But they ‘do intsi-t that a very smal! propor- ,tion shall be. And yet when it is proposed to shift this burden from those who can not bear it to those | who can, to divide it between con ;sumption and wealth, to shift it from the laborer who has nothing | but his power to toil and sweat to | the men who have a fortune made,or ‘inherited, we hear a hue and a cry raised by some individuals that it is i unjust and inquisitorial in its nature given to the people when sick; on all | ; worth of property in the United} protected by our army which are de- | | jous to relate, do not want office, Drerer was staggering about with. land shon!d not be adopted. *Then we insist, Mr. Chairman. | that it is not unreasonable or unjust [that a small part of this mouey | should he collected from this accum-| j ulation Iknow of no argument | that is at all conclusive or rational | |that can be urged against this form of taxation.

EVERINGH tax upon the incomes in thise:untry as this bill provides, or increase the whisky tax, I wish to know from what source we are to get that de ficiency which has been characteris- tic of revenues for months past, and bids fair to be up to the end of th- present if not the succeeding fiscal year. Mr McMillin was followed by Representative Ray (Rep..) of New York, who answered the debate for the Republicans in opposition to the income tax. He attributed the bus iness depression to the tanff changes, and contrasted the position of the Democrats on an income tax during the war and at present. Mr. Tarsney, of Missouri, one of the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee, follow- ed. The income tax was firstresort ed to, said he, in the days of the civil war. When the war ended and the people began demanding a re duction of their excessive burdens, instead of taking the taxes off th: necessities of life, by lowering the tariff rates one by one, the internal revenue taxes were removed. The taxes which the nch were able to bear the repealed; the taxes of the poor were retained. This was un- just; men should pay according to their wealth for the support of the Government. There were seventy billion of dollars worth of property in this country, If one man owned one billion worth, would it not be just that he should be taxed hs equitable share for the protection of his property? Mr. Dinsmore, of Kansas, said this hour was an auspicious one. It meant that the wealth of the Govern- ment was to pay an equal share for the benefits it received from the gov ernmental system. It meant that the burden of the Government was to he taken from the shoulders of the poor. Mr. Williams (Dem.,) of Missis- sippi, supported the income tax. He quoted from Adam Smith,. John!”.

Morganstown, Ga., Jan. 29 —A thrilling story of robbery and mur der was told here by Manson Rey nolds of Union county.
