Special to The Banner. Washington, August 2.—If anything can awaken the American taxpayers to a realizing sense of the wrong that they are enduring under the existing system of taxation, which may be defined as governmental robbery, it should be the cool, calm and unapologetie manner in whieli they are informed that their money is lying idle in the national treasury, and that the accumulation is increasing, notwithstanding Corporal Tanner’s vigorous efforts to distribute the shekels among the soldiers and the claim agents. A few days ago the treas urer of the Uni ted, States receipted to liis predecessor for about $700,000,000. It has required months for skilled ex perts to count the useless hoardings of the national government—hoardings, which, like the miser’s, are never dis turbed save when counted. The preliminary report of Commis- ioner Mason to Secretary Windom presents the anything hut gratifying assurance that the idle surplus is still growing. The total collections of the Internal Revenue bureau being about $130,805,032,for the fiscal year, and about six and a half million dollars be yond the collections of last year. When the average American citizen tax-payer and voter adds to these figures those furnished by the enforcement of the existing tariff, lie will understand how ind why combined capital crowds indi vidual enterprize to the wall; how im mense fortunes are being made by pro tected monopoli'ts, and bow foolish the mass of voters are, who, having the remedy in their own hands, refuse to apply it. It must he startling to other people to see tjiese two great * channels of taxation, the Internal Revenue and high tariff, swelling and rushing down on the people, and yet also to see the victims of the destructive llood make little or no effort to escape.
