THE DEMOCRATIC TAX LAW.

HOW THE OPPOSITION PRESS REGARD IT. Below we present the views of the Rensselaer Republican, a party “organ” in the strictest sense of the term, which rigidly adheres to the policies mapped out for it by the Indianapolis Journal; and the Indianapolis News which, while it relegates “organism” to the rear, is withal the most influential Republican journal in Indiana. Read what they say: [Rensselaer Republican.] The Democratic tax law is pure and intentional cusseduess, the same as the gerrymander bills are and no stock need be taken infthe plea that its objectionable provisions are owing to “mistakes.* The 1 w is just what the Democratic bosses wanted it to be. Had it been otherwise Green Smith would have changed it after the Legislature adjourned, just as he did the legislative apportionment bill. They wanted the la w to bear down heavy on the land owners, in pursuance of the plainly expressed single-tax doctrine of the Indianapolis Sentinel during the iast campaign, and only less pla nly expressed in the last Democratic state platform. Even those features of the law which more than double the state tax for school purpsse, by more than doubling the assessment and leaving the levy unreduced, was, no doubt deliberately planned. It will result in a revenue next year twice as large as needed, and the surplus will be a nice thing for the Democratic state treasurer to loan out, and raise a big campaign fund with, —and perchance fill his own and some other interested parties pockets at the same time There is method in all this Democratic tax-law madness, and don’t you forget it. The closing lines of the above should have the contrary effect from that intended upon the average Republican reader. The fact that the author thinks it necessary to employ snch staff to hold his par zans within lines is|a reflection upon their intelligence. But to what is said by the Indianapolis News: .. THE STATE’S TAXATION.

The completion of the work of the State Board of equalization marks one of the most important steps ever t iken in Indiana; and ‘he decision of the people we believe will be “well done, good and faithful servants.” The vast total, in round numbers, of $1,360,000,000, marks the appraised value of the taxable property in Indiana. And in nothing, we believe, is it an over-appraisement. It has, we think, safely erred, if at all, on the minim m side of fair valuation. Certainly, railroads and corporations have for the first time in many a long vear, if ever, been brought to th mark of something like an adequate istimateof their due proportion of benefits an consequently a due share of the burden of the commonwealth. For this conclusion as well as so the general result the word of commendation is to be extended to the tax commissioners, and the meed of praise to be given to Attorney General Green Smith It was his ferocious assault in the beginning and his immovable “residence” right in the neighborhood of the subject that prevailed against the combined reaction which endeavored to shake free ns of old thisclass of institutions from their fa’r share of the public burden. Possibly more equable procedure might have attained the end, and to t hrow grass instead of stones might have hit the mark. Well, Mr. Smith did not throw grass; he threw something, and he kept on throw ng, and he hit the mark and hit it hard And here we are with an appraisement of $1,300,000,000 asa fair reflection of our commonwealth! The wise tax law of the last Legislature lifting ns out of the poverty and expense of an unfair 'and inadequate appraisement has been nobly executed. The Ind ana State fair takes place at Indianpolis next week, beginning bn Monday and continuing all the week. The Monon Route will sell tickets for Indianpolis at one fare for the round trip. Tickets sold any day from Sept. 2oth to 26th. Good going only on day of sale, and returning on any day until Sept. 28.

RENSSELAER. JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IK 1891

The city of Newport, R. 1., swung clear into the Democratic ranks in its municipal election the other day. The result was an almost complete overturn and the first victory for the Democrats on strict party-drawn lines achieved in municipal affairs in many years. The Democrats elected their mayor, full board of six aldermen and eight of fifteen councilnren, with one failure to elect. The result will be three and possibly five on joint ballot, giving them complete control. Last year the Republicans had a mayor, five aid, rmen and nine councilmen, on a joint majority of seven. Therj is a significance in this like unto “the handwriting on the wall.”

Since the “landslide” of the last November elections the Republicans generally seem to be identified with things that needs reforming. Newport, E. 1., elects a full Democratic ticket. In New York there has just been exploited the complete domination of the representing what the late Senator Conkling might call the “forbidding and abhorrent agencies” in politics, consummating an identification with the national administration which drags it into what the late Senator again might style “the hurricane and the surfeit of mire and detestable accusation.” In Ohio the Republicans hope to profit by Governor Campbell’s assault on th» corrupt elements in his own party in Cincinnati. In our city the Republican campaign of disrepute is an appeal to “speakeasyism" and an obstruction to pul lie improvements and the moral and material progress of our affairs In Pennsylvania what Quayism and Bardslevism are needs no specification.— There, also, the Republicans are identified with the foul and corrupt agencies that have made the affairs of the Keystone State a stench in the nostrils of civilization. In the present campaign they are met and opposed by a union of the reforming elements, typical of which might be mentioned the attitude of the Philadelphia Ledge”, which now has come out in support of the Democratic ticket. The Ledger considers it “indispensably necessary that the spoils system shall be struck by a crushing defeat in Pennsylvania,” and it intimates very pointedly that the Quay Republican o.ganizatiou in the light of its acts and declarations will never strike the blow. The Republican machine in PennsylvanisfUas been struggling very hard for along time to alienate and drive away the conscientious from among the Republicans of the State, and its effort seems to be now attaining some degree of success. The same result is prefigured by the Platt Fassett national administration combine in New York. It seems to be a wave of evolution.—lndianapolis News, rep.

The Champion of High Tariff Says the Consumer Pays the Bill. [Louisville Courier-Journal.] _ Major McKinley came dangerously near giving his whole case away in a recent speech in Ohio. He said: “In the case of a protective tariff, it may for a time be paid by the consumer while we are building up the industry but when we have reached the successful manufacture of any product in the United States under a protective tariff, competition at home fixes and regulates the price, and the consumer does not pay the tax." This is, in substance, the old plea for infant industries, or what General Gar. field called a protective tariff that leads to free trade. When competition at home so fixes the price that the consumer pays no tax, the tariff is wholly inoperative and does not protect. In other worda the Major admits that the consumer pays the tax so long as the tariff is protective, and no longer. Unfortunately for the infant industry argument, the longer the infants are protected the higher rate of protection they demand—a demand which Major McKinley hastened to concede. FINING THE CONSUMER. A local importer of undei wear bought certain garments before the McKinley tariff law wesenacted at SlGand $21,50 a dozen. After the McKinley bill became a law he had to pay $lB and $24,50. Now, by lega 1 decision, this underwear is no longer allowed classification as underwear. It must be classified as “wearing apparel,” which is taxed higher by the McKinley law. Last week this merchant had a letter from the Eastern dealers, which says: The enclosed price list we issued on April 1 in cousequence of a decision by the United States Circuit Court making our goods dutiable at 49i cents a pound and 60 per cent, advalorem. This list governs a.l future sales. The list means the goods above referred to still further advanced, respectively to S2O and $26,50. Before[tbe McKii.ley law they were, respectively, sl6 and $21,50 The advance is solely on account of the tariff and its construction by the couits as above set out. Who p.iys it? The consumer and no cne else; just as the remission of the sugar tariff shows th .t it was the consumer who paid it. So it is always. In the underwear case spoken of, similar goods are not made iu this country. The McKinley law simply fines an American an additional four or five dol. lars if he buys this undei wear which he can not buy any other way.—Exchange. to'-*—.
