The Kansas City Star is of the opin

attribute the short wheat crop this
year to Republican victories in the

sides it is not yet settled that Kansas
will have a light wheat crop this year.

Is tho Alliance dying anywhere?
Certainly not in Texas, the birthplace
of the Order. In that state at present
there aro .VS weekly Alliance papers,
many of them very prosperous ones,
and one daily. Iu Texas they have
been Allittncemen so long they don’t
goi w ant to he anything else. They have
rid of all tho “for revenue only”

reform and vote against it, and when
all the states get rid ot the scum there
will lie a glorious day.— Ex.

NCK TAX.
When the dispatch appeared an¬
nouncing that there were over $ 100 ,
000,000 of the internal revenue tax on
whisky past due, there was considera¬
ble adverse criticism of the commis¬
sioner liy a portion of the public press
on accent of his failure to collect this
money and thereby relieve the United
States treasury. An examination of
this subject will satisfy any one
that the tax *»n whisky is payable tin* distil¬ ab¬
solutely at tin* discretion of
ler, and it may be deferred for twen¬
ty years or longer if he so de¬
sires. During all this time his
goods are increasing in value
many hundred per cent on the capital
invested. There are few investments
on the continent that yield an equal
profit with an investment in whisky
held iu the custody of government of¬
ficials undergoing the aging process;
and, as before stated, these goods may
be held for any length of time tho dis¬
tiller may desire without the payment
of one cent of tho tax. This is the
only form of property we know of
upon which the owner can defer pay¬
ment of taxes indefinitely at his own
diserct ion.— Ex.

Banking is an honorable business,
Bad men in the business can bring as
much reproach upon any other occupa
tion as upon banking. Any man using
his own savings in an honest way ns a
banker deserves as much praise as the
industrious, frugal farmer or median
ic. However, the system known as
national banking is wrong. There nre
good men doing a banking business
under that law, but the men who pass
ed the national banking act and the
men oth*r who have om.-ials corrupted the congressmen
aud until huge trust
has been able t.» absorb nearly all the
money, have bem the greatest ene¬
mies of this country. The greatest
monopolists of the age are bankers, as
a rule. They may Hot be known in
connection with the hanks, lmt they
are interested and help to corrupt con¬
gress and all of th** mem hers of the va¬
rious trusts work in harmony with
them. These are facts that cannot be
disputed. Some 30,000 of these men
have absorbed two-thirds of all the
property and money in America, and
until the traitors art* hurled from the
high places by the ballots of the peo¬
ple, there will be nothing but disaster
facing nine thousand and ninety-nine
while the one man gorges his pockets.

TUK FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
Tn an extended interview in regard
to the solution of the financial ques¬
tion, Senator Stanford, of California,
gives his opinion on the subject ami
offers some good suggestions. Among
other things he says:
“Let the government issue notes to
all who want to borrow and can give
perfect security. There being no bet¬
ter security than land conservatively
appraised, let the government give
notes to those who want to borrow on
such real estate, charging the foorrow
ers 2 per cent, interest, and taking
from the borrower a mortgage on his
land. No one would want to borrow
unless he needed to, and if ever money
was worth less than 2 per cent, he
would take up his mortgage. The
government would be protected, be
eauso it would. mret of f *i the value rtgage f' r

laud.
“A, . we are paying altogether
too much interest. Men engaged in
trade and commerce do not care so
much how much interest they pay, be¬
cause they turn the money over quickly
and make a profit, but to the farmer,
who only turns over the money once a
year, the question of interest is a vital
one. There is an indebtedness to-day
on our railroads of about five thousand
millions of dollars, while the amount
of gold is only about three thousand
millions.
Interest is being paid on money thnt
has no existence. A large portion of
our railroad bonds are held in foreign
countries. Had our government had
money enough in circulation, upon
security, there would have been money
enough at homo to build all our roads.
If our government had been able to
put out oue hundred millions forty
vears ago, nnd could that money have
been turned over onee a year in rail¬
road building, that amount would
have built all our railroads, and we
would not owe a dollar today abroad.
The railroads are now entirely the
product of American labor.
“My desire is to see money so abun¬
dant among the people that a man may
get credit according to his deservings
even without collateral. The wealth
of the country rest* principally skilled mechanic <>n the
humblest labor. The
cannot make anything without the co¬
operation of the humblest laborer. It
is necessary to the prosperity of the
eoun trv that the masses should be able
to command such credit as they de
serve. If a man has industry and in
tegrity he ought to be able to find
credit. ”
THE INCOME TAX.
Within the past few weeks the
graded income tax. so long and earn¬
estly advocated in these columns, has
come to the front •• one of the most
prominent issues of the day.. It 1 .-,
generally Wlieved that the president
and his cabinet favor such a tax. and it
may lie that Mr. Cleveland will take
invasion in an early message to call
the attention of congress to the mat
ter. As a purely business proposition
no partisan significance should be at
tached to it. The question to l*e oon
sub-red is whether a graded income
tax is the M and fairest method of
burden which sh. u.i he borne by all
in proportion t“ their ability and the
b*'n* fit* they derive from the govern¬
ment. We are supposed to have no
privileged classes, an i therefore in the
matter of taxation it is grossly ineon
si*tent to exempt th< elat-s best able to
pay. 4>a the other hand.it is only
just that th, income tax should ss**t
l*ear up* n the pvr people whose in
com* • aro -.4 small that a tax would
cr-.ppl* th* .r i-wn* r* an l make it mi
ik ortbie f*-r them t*< earn an income,
Thetas should t*>ncb th* h- who can
t av with-*»t d;»tr*s«. Huch a tax w*.-U 4 *l
r**s'h much v! the ccncaa.ed waalth
1 f t }j country, and people would pay
() e
j u proportion to their prosperity.
Under our present system, the poor
maB w ho invest* in visible propertv
j s invested in bonds that yield him an
income of 810,000.
A graded income tax would correct
these evils, and distribute more justly
the burden of taxation. A tax on in
comes of 810,000 and over, increasing
the percentage on incomes of $ 20,000
and so on would strike those who are
able to bear it without inconvenience,
and we could then reduce our tariff to
a free trade basis, and the government
would raise its necessary revenue with
out taxing the toiling masses into the
mire of poverty.
So much for the justice of such a
tax. It could be collected. England
collects it, and we can do it. Possibly
it would tempt a few to commit perju
! r y. The penitentiary will stop all that,
It would give us far less trouble than
tho collection of the internal revenue
taxes, and it would strike the very
classes who have been enriched by the
favoritism of the goverumet, and
w }iose dutv it is to bear their propor
tiolulte hh a rc „f t he public burdens.—
