Now is your time lor bargains. When such a stock as the New York Store is offered at a sacrifice sale then the people can make no mistake in making a grand rush to secure these bargains before they are gone. We own our own goods for less money than any firm in town. We buy only from first hands and for spot cash, and handle no shoddy or trash.

Ttx Incomes. Americans who respect themselves and love their country will pay their war tax willingly. AimricMi* who have * strain of the hog iu them will grumble and »]«■ their best to shift the taxes on their neighbors. But decent American- who love. their country, re^{es t tVnierlv.-s and are glad to make every needful sacrifice for the maintenance of the national welfare and honor, believe in fair play. While they pay their war taxes ungrudgingly they auk why it is that those who have the taut are compelled .to pay the inert, and those who have moat pay least ? Why is there no iwome tax? Why should the necessaries and little cotulut ts of the }Hs<r la* taxed to carry on this war and the fortunes of the rich escape altogether? * The mother who telegraphs her husband that thear child is «|vjfig must luty a onecetit stamp before she can semi the message. Russell Sage pays not a cent on lus income of a million a year. is that right? The laborer who breaks rocks for a dollar a day aud sits down with his dinner pail in the shade of a boulder in this stifling weather at the noon hour, is taxed on a cau of beer with which he refreshes and strengthens himself. John Rockefeller pays nothing on his income id $12,000,000. Is that right? The mixed loaf that the tenement house aotlier cats for her children j*ays a war -tax.

The. Trinity church estate, the Astor estate, and at! the gigantic wealth of the landlord* of New York goes scot free. The citism whose business requires him to travel is taxed for his ticket. The earnings of the railroad and steamship companies are untouched Is that right? The wnuam who drinks a cup of tea pays a war tax. The men who grow neh by selling taa an* exempt. Is that right? The consumer pays everything, those who supply the consumer pay nothing. Why should this be so? Why should riches he left alone by the government and the taxing hand be thrust into the pockets where the fewest dollars are? Why is there no income tax? Because the supreme court has decided that as income tax is unconstitutional. What does that prove? Simply that the constitution must be amended. The American people were not made for the constitution, but the constitution for the American people. The constitution is amended by the supreme court every day that it stands legalizes a crime against equality, which is a crime against republican institutions. Every day that the incomes of the rich rtamm rn*r—* while the bread and tea of

the poor pay.' taxes in a day which brands just discontent, foster* class hatred and encourages the propagandists of socialism and anarchy. Prom the foundation of the republic up to 1$&> an income tax was constitutional. Then the supreme court made its near discovery that incomes were sacred. The people who pay the* war taxes have the power to overrule the supreme.court. Thay can amend the constitution and include incomes among taxable projnirty. Every man who eats war bread. Every man who drinks war tea. Every man who drinks war beer, Every man who smokes war tobacco, Every man who buys war stamps for his checks and his telegrams and railroad and steamer liekels, • Every man who talks through a wartaxed telephone— All these, unless they are of the cast of the selfish, greedy and uni«triotic rich— the hog-strain Americans—are being educated in to-a realisation of the rank iniquity of making the wealthy a favored class m a republic*. That means poisoning the well of democracy. Amend the constitution and tax incomes! —New Vork Journal. Quirk Relief far Asthma.
