Article 1, section 3, paragraph 4: No capitation, or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken. Article 1, section 10, paragraph 3: No state shall, without the consent of con gress, lay any duty to tonnage, etc. He pointed out that the constitution provided for two systems of taxation to raise revesue for government expense the indirect system of the tariff tax and the capitation or direct tax. Ilefering to the indirect system he said: "Tbe power of taxation Is a sovereign power, and in a government like ours it is the cbief power, because we cannot conceive of a civil government existing for any length of time without the right to levy taxes to sustain it. The govern ment must be provided with a large ret inue of officers, an army and navy, and all of the paraphernalia necessary and incident to its maintenance, and all these must be sustained by revenue de rived by taxation. Taxation Is a power that knows no limit save the necessities of the government. It it tie granted that the government may be taxed for a given purpose, and this power becomes limited alone by its neceweities in that rct. The power to tax earriee with it the iiewrr to destroy. It is a delicate Mwr,aud therelorethe first thought that present itkttlf to the mind I wbeiber the IrameMol the constitution !t it en tirel.v unchecked and unguarded, or whether the government ran li-nUre a purpose whicti is in no srii a pul.lit! purpose s Bl stibtrt to riv the bene fit ol tmation. lly articl 1, vliou M, ptrntrraph 1, it is declared that 'Tun if r ahull ttav power to Uy an.) eoi. Iwi't !, (tuti, iiniMMt and eti'ie, tupayth debt and promt lor the common iM.'hm and geueral welfar of lb I'nited Mlata," It U well settled that the power to Im UMM !, tl title, itlpt, SIi'l i iiitiitv.l by !niparpMHiwhi4'h isprel in the iii par4t'h; that U, tu th paywHiiit ot h !tiU l prjudiog for Ih (ummm (wu and gerul welter til th t utted KtM. llaiv I a t sol imp. for ou of th purptM it w naetMalilalionat, it would N It Rt'alMit of th prvpefty f on eitlia w for the benefit of another and could not be sustained in law or ausistry. The purpose of taxation must be a publio purpose: it must have some reference to discharging the debts ef the nation or providing for tbe common defense or tbe general welfare. If it does not, tbe tax can not be imposed. What is meant by tbs payment of the debts and tbe com mon defense is clearly understood; it is the payment of those debts incurred in the administration of the government; tbe building of fortifications, tbe raising of armies and navies, and equipping tbem them to repel enemies from with out and within: in fact securing the ab solute safety of the government from all encroachments by foreign powers or In surrectionary organizations within the states. What is meant, however, by the general welfare of the United States is not so well understood, and under this clause many have claimed that it was within tbe power of the government to impose taxes, to encourage, sustain and promote all things, however remotely oouuected with th, government, that in any manner contributed to the upbuild ing and enlightenment of society. It is very evident that the power to levy taxes must be limited to the reve nue line, or that it is entirely without limitation. It soems to me to be pre posterous that our ancestors, who de signed that all might prosper alike, should be so careful in hedging about the rights of the people by th constitu tion with so many minor provisions, and leave this unchecked sovereign power to congress the power to tax without limit, except such as tbe fair ness of that body alone might dictate. I prefer to believe, however much It might conflict with the opinions of others that the constitution carefully guards the power of taxation by pre scribing the purposea for which taxes may be levied. I can not and do not be lieve the framers of that instrument ever contemplated that congress should have unchecked power, either by direct or in directjtaxation, or in any other form, or under any guise, to take tne property of one citizen without compensation and transfer it to another. If it be not true that the power of congress is limited in this grant to tbe power of taxing for revenue, then we have the anomalous fact that congress, by a system of ex actions called taxes, having no reference to any publio purpose and confessedly designed for the promotion of tbe few, can transfer by legislation the property of tbe people into the bands of Individ uals and use theconstitution as a moans of centralizing wealth and political power to menace the happiness and pros perity of the people and the very exist ence of the government Itself." - Concerning the results obtained by a tariff tax as shown by history, be said: "It may be accounted singular that tbe manufacturer should desire the bene it of the tariff to come to him in the first instance, that in his mangnanimity and generosity be may divide it and give to those who labor their just portiou. Men are riot ordinarily so generous in their impulses and disinterested in their conduct. That this is a mere pretense on their part is apparent to us and the country at large. It must not bs for gotten that tbe wage earner iu whose in terest a bigb tariff is said to De levia re mains comparatively poor throughout bis life, despite bis earnest and manly effort to improve his condition, while those who own and operate the lactones accumulate immense fortunes of ancient times." In concluding, Senator Allen pointed out tbe fallacies in the claims that the enormously high duties were necessary as a war measure, to prepare tbe nation to defend itself from invasion. lie showed that the effect was not to raise tbe price of farm products as had been claimed, bnt that the farmer must meet all competition in the sale of hia pro ducts and tbeu take bis earnings and buy in a market of monopolies. He said: "I can not refrain from observing that we have fallen on evil days and into de generated times, and that a spirit of commercialism has led us to set at de fiance many of the fundamental doctrines of our constitution and constitutional history. The nation will not be safe from tbe evils that beset it and seek its destruction and tbe destruction of civili zation until we return to the foundation truths and hold the ship of state steadily to its course, as th faithful mariner holds his ship at sea. Laos, method, of thinking, inexact ideas of patriotism and public duty, seasoned with selfish ness and personal interest, have wrought incalculable mischief to our government and to our people. The pathway of safety lies in retracing our step to the firm ground of th constitution, and there fighting for tha glory, th Integ rity, and the security of our country. We can not safely pursn any other count.

ECONOMY WAS THE POLICY. The Saying Nearly Equals the Bart ley Shortage. Ereryone Satisfied. , Many Nw Buildings, A comparison of the appropriations , of the twenty-fifth session with those of the twenty-fourth session shows a ear ing of $432,000. The real saving will amount to considerable more than that lor tbe reason that the appropriations for the salaries of employes and Inciden tal expenses was not nearly exhausted. Tbe exact figures cannot be given in this particular until tbe auditor makes his statement, but tbe saving will probably reach $25,000. If the funds of tbe pre ceding treasurer and auditor had been properly accounted for and were in the hands of the present treasurer with the decrease In the appropriations by tbe legislature, the state would be in excel lent condition. The total rote cast at the election in November as shown by the combined vote of all tbe six candi dates for governor was 217,763. Tak-r ing this as the number of voters in tbe state, and there are probably not more than that, tbe saving mads In the appro- prialions by tbe 25th over the 24th session would amount to $2.09 for each voter. In 1 895 the legislators appropriated $200,000 for drouth sufferers. This year there was $100,000 appropriated for the trans-Mississippi exposition and $105,000 for four new buildings, which more than balances tbe relief appropria tion Dy f a.uuu, The following table shows the items: 1897. 1893.
