McDONALD, Editer : Published every Thursday and entered in thepostoffice, Ligonter, Ind as secohd ¢iase matter - CPRONR No. 13 e B e e AR i Une of the Irr!gh&mp{ and niost ably conducted papers in the country is The News Loader, publishied at Hichmond Va, Jis UIAeTALCEs Are AIWAYS based upon good vommen sense. llts arguments are forcad and logioal In & redent editorial this admirable publication made. the deciaratio that “an income tAx is the fairest and cleanest and jennt bordensoms tax that can be levied, provided it is properly placed. People whia bave JHived aud done business suceeseflully under a goverment and who have prospered sufliciently under the protectioof that goveraient to enjoy & comlartalis incoine, ought to be willing W pay s reasonalile share towards Ihe expones of maintenance, The great mass of people who must work for their yeEntly living aud the support of their families should be relivved from taxation as far as possible so that they lAy enjoy the benefit of their earnings. T, real purpose and inepiration of this government and conntry are to give working people the greatest possibie opportanity to improve thelr position in the world, to gather compotencios so that they may livecamfortably and educate their children to be stronger and more useful than they are them scives. The Awmeriean ideal is faniily svolotion. sach gennration to be at lenst a little better phiysically, mentally and ethicaliy. than the "“"j befars It. Swollen and inhierited fortunes aod grinding and ehilling poverty alik tend against stich resnlts for both mean decadsnics aud croAscaiation rather than improvement and inereasing strength. The peaple of Inrge means potd income-should be required to pay Hberal ghares of the neecksary taxatiog The great middle class should be taxed as iittle a 8 possible, and the work fug, producing, strugrling class should ms nearly as possible be exempted from taxation. direet of indirect, whethor {rom duties, intergal revenus fax orotherwise, '’ : : : ; * *®® s s . v 1f the democratic party is to survive it will not be because of the actin of ItA representatives i Cougress, bt rather boenase of the strength inherent in ité professed prineiples.; To put it anothee way, Demoeracy will sur vive and be written in the lAws of the land whatever aceidents of fortad. may fall to the political forces aligned under the party nsme. The New York World says: . ‘ ; The efloctive regulation of corporations, the warfare upon motopoly. the dir‘sckprnnnr{. the popular election of United States senators. the tax on the earnitgs of corporations, the tax on inheritatces, the lncotine tax and the regulation and publieation of can.paigo contribations aud expenditares have been demoeratic in their origio, Although waioly republican (o exeen tion, l)wm-wrm’{ thus proves itself oncs more to be stronger than the dian ocratio party. The lesson which Democrats should learn fromw all this is ;l'mm enough to be self-enforcing. Thers is wreat popular fsith in tros Democracy, There is great popular intelligence in separating the faise from the true. Falee teachers and teactiings are not fatal to Democracy itself, ‘They destroy only those who sdhere to them. The peopie distrust these unwise loaders and thege strange doctrines but they show thaeir fath in democratic truth and justice by compelling reluctant Republicans to adopt them as their. own. _ . ; _ ; .S RREW : ‘ * The ten Republican senators who voted against the Aldrich tarif! bill as it passed the senate were: Beveridee of Indiana, Bristow of Kansas, Brown and Burkett of Nebraska, Clapp of Minnesota, Crawford of South Dakota Cummins and Dolliver of lowa, La Follette of Wisconsin and Nelson of Minnesota, These men represent seven great states. They voted as they have fought all along, and openly defiled the “boss of the senate,” who boasted during the beginning of the tarifl debate that the insurgents wonld be falling in line when the final vote was taken. o _ ' ' : . B stsan ~ The last issue of Mr. Bryan's paper, The Commoner, in & long editorial, devotes its attention te Senator Bailey's argument that {ree trade in fre. raw material was not democratic doetrine, and takes direct igsue with bim. Among other things it says: : " If & majority of the American people were in a position to be benetited by & tax on raw material, it mignt be argued with more justice that a tax on raw material wounld, to souie vxtent, offset the tax which they have to pay on account of the tariff on manufactured articies, but as comparatively few produce a raw material, the price of which ¢an be increased by a taritl, the attempt to help them by a tax upon raw material results in increasing their burdens, For every farmer benefited by a taritl on hides or on wool many farmers are burdened because of the tariff on these raw materials, therefore a-taritf on these articles cannot be sald to benefit the farmers The taritf collected on raw material is but a small part of the increased

price collected on domestic raw material by domestic producers through the operations of the taritl. From a purely revenue standpoint, therefore, the argument fails. It betrays a confusion of ideas to defend as & revinue tariff a tariff which enables the protected interests to collect many dollars for each dollar collected by the treasury department. . % ® & ¥ #® Notwithstanding that the farmer has had some unusual conditions to contend with this year, such as too much rain, he i# going to be “‘in_good” at the end, according to the crop reports. The Wall Street Summary says: Banks, railroads, merchants and manufactures are figuring on the in creased money income which the crops of the country at the present out looks of prices are going to bring to the farming community. Taking the leading cereals with cotton, it is quite probable that the gross iucrease increase in the value of these four crops, over the value derived last year, will be as much as $40,000.000. If this be the case, what form will the ex penditure of this increase take? One of the directions {t is likely to take is _that of purchasing more land. Auvother direction is that of improvements in drainage, in buildings and in the equipment of farimns. Lumber and machinery as well as vehicles represent the branches of trade that will be most widely benefited in whatever enlargement occurs inthe money income of the American farmer. Furthermore, there will be a much larger expenditure for purposes of personal culture, including travel. education and other nonmaterial benefits. A wonderful change has come over the well-to-do farming districts of the country in the half-dozen or more years of prosper. ity. 'lghe continuance -of this period through 1909 seems substantially assured. -~ - ¢ : e Rara®r =W : The Ella Gingles scandal at Chicago is one of the sensations of the hour. The yellow press is exploiting the case to its utmost. Last week a sensation was caused when the name of Thomas Taggart, the well-known dem_ ocratic politician, was mentioned by the girl in her testimony. The news. papers made a big story of the circumstance and with scare heads and insinuations put Mr. Taggart in a false position. Mr. Taggart at once went .to Chicago, and was able to show that he had no connection with the aflair at any stage, that he did not even know the Gingles girl and that there was absolutely no grounds for the vile insinuations of the yellow press. Hedid not hesitate to brand the whole affair as an outrage and the connection of his name with the casge a slander. . . . RR R R - ‘ : Edward N. Ditzer, paying teller of the First National Bank at Fort Wayne, was found short in his accounts $7,800 and he at once confessed the - erime. He had been taking the money for several years but was able to cover up his shortage by careful manipulation of his books. He claims that he spent the money on his family in an endeavor to shine in good society. Itcan not be discovered that the fellow did any gambling, bad been dissipating in any way or was investing in margins. His wife disclaims any extravagance and points out that she had been economical in doing her own house work and keeping down expenses whenever possible, Detzer just spent the money with his salary of $1,700 besides, and has no way of accounting for it. After nearly twenty years of service for the bank, from messenger to paying teller, he is now confronted with & prison _sentence, and his family disgraced, all because he could not keep his hands off of something that did not belong to him. : . ‘

' A Partioan Institaiion : The new superintendest of the Jof. fermonville reformatary, De. David C. {Peyton, is & Democrat..
