A STRONG SPEECH. 1
Perhaps the ablest speech in fa
vor of the income tax was the one t
delivend by Congressman John '
W. Maddox,of the seventh district. ‘
Judge Maddox argued that the (
best way to meet the deficit in our
treasury caused by republican
extravagance and a revenue tariff,
would be to tax the incomes of (
the wealthy clashes, instead of i
taxing the necessaries of life. Th* ■
objections that an income tax
w >uld be inquisitorial and a war
measure and would tempt men to
commit perjury were met and ful
ly answered by the Georgia con
gressman. The point was made
that in most states where personal
property is tsx«d the statutes are
inquisitorial. The taxpayers have
to make out a list of their person
al property, and as they have to
swear to these lists they have to
face the perjury temptation. The
inten a revenue tax and the na
tional banking system are war
measures, but they have not been
objected to, on thia ground by the
opponents of the income tax.
We need thia just and equitable
tax. says Judge Maddox, to par
tially remedy some of the evils of
the present system, under which
the masses are growing poorer,
while the classes are growing rich
er. In 1850 the farmers owned
more than half of the assessed
wealth of this countr'-, but in 1890
they owned leas than one fourth
of it v not deducting their mort
gage indebtedness.
This state of affairs would not
exist ui.der equal laws. It ia main
ly due to the demonetization of
silver, the special privileges grant
ed to monopolists, the protective
tariff system, the pension business
and the extravagance of the gov
ernment. The question now is
whether we shall tax wealth or
want, whether we shall make the
consumers pay all the taxes or
call upon the heretofore untaxed
bondholders to bear their just and
proportionate share of the public
burden.
Congressman Maddox’s views are so
sound ami so thoughly in accord with
public sentiment that he has the solid
support of his constuents and there is
no talk of an opposition candidate.
We do not know a southern congress -
man who is more closely in touch
with his people and the democratic
masses of the country, and we do
not know of one who has made a
stronger and a more convincing
speech in favor of the imeome tax.
The democrrtic platform has no more
loyal and able advocate than the
brainy representative from the sev
enth.

This n o nings Fa 1 of Nineveh
whs a decidedly tame affair, date
considered. Only two cases were
tried,|one against G. S. Turnly for
disorderly conduct. He was fined
$7,50 The other was against a
Compu ss negro named Kit Ware.
Kit had said dammit in the pres
ence of a colored sister and was
fined $2,50. The Hustler of Rome
was not fined for saying “Dam the
Etowah” I therefore consider that
this paper is still in the swim.
I cant imagine why “statis
cian’’ Cooper, and his paper, the
Tribune, continue to pereue Mr.
John Vandiver and Mr. Jake
Moore. The “Trib” seems to want
to make these two gentlemen fa
mous, as it never misses a chance
to publish a “iumor” when their
names are in it.

Mr. George Johnson, who is vis

believed that a little negro servant
girl, named Louisa Bugg, took the
money from his pants pocket yes
terday morning while he slept.
She was arrested but not until she
had, had ample time to pass it to
her folks. She denied taking the
money but the < fficers have a klue.
