AX IXCOS1K TAX.

Tiik JocitsiAX. to-day prints communication from John •. Darter ill advocacy of an income tax. lie answers himself completely in the first sentence of his communication in that it "pores the other fellow's ox." This is a strange admission to make for a man who is pleading for taxation laws based upon equity and justice. The weakness of his argument is in the assumption that the entire tax would (Mine out of the pockets of the men who pay it. He belongs to that class of doctrinaires who assume that the tariff is a tax, and that the tax in the end is paid by the consumer. Admitting for the sake of the argument that this is true, how does it come that the importer is so much more shrewd in being able to add the tariff to the price of his goods than is the man who pays an income? We apprehend that the man who is possessed of sufficient thrift to acquire property upon which he will derive an income larg£ enough to be taxed possesses business ability equal to the importer of foreign goods, and he will manage in some way to compel the user of his property to pay the the tax. The fact is you cannot tax any special class without violating the fundamental principles of taxation. It is a communistic theory. The operations of an iucome tax was illustrated by ex-Senator Thurman. whom the Democrats affectionately refer to as '•the noblest Roman of them all," in a speech delivered in the Senate in 1870 on the repeal of the then income tax law. Mr. Thurman said:

The effect of this tax is the effect of all other taxes in the end it comes down on the consumer. It may be illustrated in a number of ways. You compel a man whose ineome is derived from the rents of houses to pay an income tax, and he will, just as certainly us he rents houses at all, increase the price for which he rents them on account of the tax which you have imposed. If you compel a merchant to pay an income tax derived from his business as a merchant he must put that into his expense account and he must charge an additional price for hip goods. And so on with every persop almost who pays an income tax. I dp not sav that they always get reimbursed, but the bulk of the tax at last falls, not upon their shoulders, but upon the shoulders of some one else. That being the case, it will not do tp say that this is simply a*tax on property and that the laboring people of the country are not at all interested in it. it falls on labor in the end, no matter how it is levied.

The income tax therefore fulfills the desire of that class of politicians who endeavor to deceive the people, and who frequently succeed. Dire necessity alone justifies an income tax in a free country. It is an exaction which is not only inquisitorial to an intolerable degree, but in practice has been prolific of wholesale injustice and fraud. An income tax is a fine upon thrift and enterprise. It is an inducement to wasteful living. It discourages the accumulation of capital, thus narrowing the opportunities lor labor. It puts a premium on trickery and evasion. It is a burden that falls chiefly and heavily on the more conscientious members of the community, or on that class whose wages and salaries can be readily ascertained. When David A. Wells was Commissioner of Internal Revenue he a'sscrted that the income tax in force in 1868 was paid by only 250,000 persons out of a total population 40,000,000. John .Stuart Mill, who favored an income tax theoretically, declared that in practice it was more vicious "than many other taxes which are prima facie more objectionable." An income tax under ordinary conditions is without precedent in the United States. The Federal Government was started without this odious tax the war of 181 and the Mexican war were fought without it we bought Louisiana and the Floridas without it, and the national treasury has repeatedly weathered financial panics without it. A protective tariff mainly has supplied the needs of the Federal Government. Only for a short interval during and subsequent to the war period was an income tax levied, and then because other sources of revenue were practically exhausted. An income tax is now proposed in anticipation of a deficit caused by an unpatriotic policy designed to dismantle American industries. Tlie conspiracy to "gore the other fellow's ox" will prove as abortive as it will disastrous, for the act that paralyzes American industries will wipe out hundreds of thousands of incomes, great and small.

Ltnfuam of Apes.

In 1857, says Prof. Evans in the Top* ular Science Monthly, Jules Richard had occasion to visit a sick friend in a hospital, where he made the acquaintance of an old official of the institution from the Bouth of France who was exceedingly fond of animals, his love of them being equaled only by his hatred of priests. He claimed also to be perfectly familiar with the language of cats and denrs and to speak tho language of apes even better than the apes themselves. Jules Richard reoeived this statement with an incredulous smile, whereupon the old man, whose pride was evidently touched by such skepticism, invited him to come the following morning to the zoological garden.*-"! met him at the appointed place," says Mr. Iiichard, "and we went together to the monkeys' cage, where he leaned on the outer railing and began to titter a succession of guttural sounds which alphabetical signs are scarcely adequate to represent—'Kirruu, kirrikie, kurtiki, kirikiu'—repeated with slight variations Bnd differences of accentuation. In a few minutes the whole company of monkeys, a dozen In number, assembled and sat In rows before him with their hands crossed in their laps or resting on their knees, laughing, gesticulating and answering." The conversation continued for a full quarter of an hour, to the intense delight of the monkeys, who took a lively part In It. As tlielr interlocutor was about to go away they all became intensely excited, climbing up the balustrade and uttering cries of lamentation. When he finally departed and disappeared more and more from their •lew they ran up to the top of the cage, arid, clinging to the frieze, made motions as If they were bidding him good-by. It seemed, adds Mr. Richard, as though they wished to say: "We are sorry to part and hope to meet again, and if you can't come, do drop us a line!"

HANGED THE INTRUDERS.

Row Some Win and Ingenious Wrens Dot Rid of the Inquisitive Sparrow*. The Burlington Gazette tells this intesting bird story, and has three men ready to sign any number of affidavits that it is true:

At the end of Prof. Thomas' big barn area number of bird houses for the use of the thousands of feathered songsters who keep the air alive in that locality. The place is close enough to tlie city to be Infested with the pugnacious and hoggish English sparrow, and for some years the sparrows and the wrens have fought tlie season through for the possession of the little houses. The wrens, being the smallest, invariably came off second best In the encounter until this year, when the holes, or doors, were arranged so that a wren could get In, but a sparrow's body could not pasB through. Still the sparrows continued their annoyances by sticking their heads in the doors as far as possible and worrying tlie pool'little wrens to a state of distraction. Finally the wrens decided upon a plan of action. They rigged tip a horsehair noose directly inside their little houses in such away that any intruding sparrow would stick his neck into It. As a consequence the men were surprised one day to find a sparrow hanging by the neck from one of the houses, dead as a country town on-Sunday. He was cut down, and for a few days the sparrows let the wrens rest undisturbed. Then another sparrow became inquisitive, and before he knew it he too was dangling In the air, unable to save himself. These are the only two instances that came under the observation of the men, though others perhaps have happened.

The Pnzzl* Solved'

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and baffled the medical profession more than nasal catarrh. While not immediatel fetal it is among the most nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh is heir to, and the records show very few or no cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh by any of the many modes of treatment until the introduction of Ely's Cream Halm a few years ago. The success of this preparation has been most gratifying and surprising. No druggist is without it.

Joseph V.

The End Has Come—The Curtain Is Down

On the last act of the last scene in the eventful merchandising career of the Great Wholesale Dry Goods House,

The James H. Walker Co.

The superb $650,000 stock is all sold—sold under the auctioneer's merciless hammer. And such a sale—a sale that attracted the attention of the entire dry goods trade of the Nation. The leading merchants of all the great cities had corps of buyers attending it. 'Tis quite true that many goods brought big prices, but none of them found their way to

They could not because of the measures we used to prevent bad buying, namely: We spent several days at the bi^ Walker warehouse prior to the sale, examining and scrutinizing each and every piece—every lot in the whole stock —and marking down low bargain prices on catalogues furnished us for that purpose. Then we paid close attention to the bidding and never allowed one lot to be knocked down to any one else if at or below our guiding prices, but when they went above we promptly let them go to any one who chose to pay more for them—in short it was a cool, premeditated scheme to

Capture the Bargains from the Great Walker Sale for our customers. As a result we will commence to-morrow a Grand Sale. We say "Sale" but the word hardly expresses the event. It will be practically a reckless distribution of
