TAX WEALTH.
Some Ideas or How tbV Liw Cia Be
Eaforsed.
The demand for graduated tax on
Incomes, increasing in proportion to
their size, is finding place la many of
the recent reform platforms, says the'
New .Nation. It is advocated not
merely as a device for raising revenue,
but because it Is believed It would
have aa effect to check the accumula
tion of the nation's wealth ia a few
hands, now so rapidly going. . on. An
income tax is a very fair tax in prin.
ciple. but it has hitherto been found
aa extremely difficult one to collect
being chiefly borne by conscientious
people and those whose incomes hap
pen to be know a, owing to the pub-
' lie character of their source, If some
more effective machinery for ascer
taining Incomes and collecting the tax
in an equal way caa be suggested than
.has hitherto been in use. we should Be
'glad to see any extension of the prin
ciple) of t&'-ang incomes.
Meuajrliil.', however, it apnoars
very evident to us that the taxation af
, lakeritaanea would promote the tw
ends of ra in,' revenue aad curbing
milliotiaiTOism. tnucu more olusaoloua.
ly tha. any scheme of income taxation
t 1 keiy t Instead of. or at any
rate in mlJilion to. a graduated tas oa
income, w would .urge a graduaUtd
tax on uilKM-itaajes. We would tax,
(but U to ay, tho accumulations of
lh d'.ad rathnr than those) of the liv-
Kxcmpling entirely InbrlUnce of
less than 10. OK), we would Ux es
tates between $1U.OOO and $10l.000t
say one half of one per cant increas
ing lb. j tax at such a rate with each
additional 1U .W0 as to make it five
fcrccntoa fl.000.00a With each
additional million we would add a
fruetion of one per cent to the tax,
mulf'.n? it 10 per ceat on $10,000,0001
After this point it might be woll to in
create tho rate of tax by one per cent
per additional million, making it 20
per cent on $20,000,000. 80 per cent
on 0.000, 003, 40 per cent on $10. -000.0.0,
and 50 p:r cunt on inherit,
ancea of foO. 000.000 and over.
We would guard against the evasion
of this tax by providing that all stock.
bonds, doeus or otner eviuenoes of
property inherited or derived from a
doireosed person's estate should bear a
i tump indicating that they had paid
tho tax and otherwise at any time
should be confiscated to tho state, half
to go to the Informer. Slight , addi
tions to our existing probate and land
rogittry system would give the needed
machinery for these purposes.
- It way be ssld that very rich per
sons, to avoid this tax, would give
away their wealth before death. The
strong natural Indisposition to believe
In tho nearness of death, coupled with
tho desire to cling to one's, wealth as
long as thore.is a chance, of recovery,
would bo very likely to prevent this
from goherally happening. Moreover,;
in a large proportion of cases. espe
cially where one's heirs are not one's
children, there is often no great de
sire on the part of the testator to , go
eut of his way to Oblige them.
Supposing, however, to supplement
the effect of these motives, it were a
law that upon the death of any person
his executors or administrators should
bo required to report upon all trans
fers of property made within a month
of his death, and that where these ap
peared to be without substantial con
sideration, intent to evade the law
should he presumed, and the property
involved confiscated. It is probable
that such a provision as this would
make people having great fortunes to
leave careful to observe the law out
of regard for their own families. . '
The idea of a tax on inheritance is
nothing new or startling. Such taxes
are levied in most foreign countries,
and in various states ot the union. In
Switzerland the tax reaches as high a
figure as 10 per rent and in New
Zealand Is very high, but usually it is
very trilling, and is not graduated ac
cording to the sizo of the inheritancoa
In our opinion this form of tax of
fers, if intolllgontly and vigorously di
rected to that purpose, a most promis
ing device, by strictly legal methods,'
for assisting to break up the mon
strous accumulation of wealth In indi
vidual hands, whloh now constitutes
a serious peril to the republic.
A Good Reason.
It is said that a notorious million
aire, when asked why he did not build
a palatial mansion, said: "1 don't
want a house that , will be so easllv
found when the hungry fellows break
loose." Thut Is the most fearful sen
tence we have heard since the out
break of the civH war. As certain as
the earth continues, and things go on
as they have for twenty years, the
"nungry fellows will broak loose."
Nothing hastens it like men of vast
wealth, who buy up legislators, disre
gard private rights, live in luxury;
and sny: ' What are you going to do
about it?" "The publio be" and
about the "hungry fellows breaking
loose." Ho who looks ahead and seos
no breakers, is either 5 blind or has
some glass that those who judge the
future by the past can't get access to.

Even the Commercial Bulletin of
New York, which has been outrageous,
ly unjust In its treatment of silver
heretofore,. Is moved to theso com-;
ments: . The crux of the trouble w,ith
England is that silver having been
made unavailable for international
settlements, she Is unable to get from
outside sources the amount. of gold
that her increasing domestic and for

of how to got it is made practically in
soluble by the fact that the banks ot

A PEN PICTURE.
The Weaderfel Caaditlo ef ASr.tr. In
Onrtle
-The Southern Alliance Farmer
writes op the condition ot affairs In
Georgia so graphically that it U here
partly reproduced as indicating the
financial pressure in one of the most
prcsporoue Southern states:
From one end of (Georgia to the
other comes a wall of distreea. It ie
not confined to aur one class, but
farmers and merchants alike seem
tottering on the verge of bankruptcy.
Every week we hear of strong firms
going to the wall, while the sheriffs
in the various counties are kept busy
malting levies and selling live stock.
farm produce and implements under
distress warrants. The stock yards
of towns and cities are filled with
horses and mules taken from farmers
for debt and numerous cases are re
corded whore animals that cost $150
last spring sell upon the block tor $.0.
Only last Tuesday I stood on the pub
lie s juare In WatkinsvlHe and saw a
farmer's oorn sell at 60 to 64 conte per
bushel his .'odder at 61 cents, and
other goods in proportion, and the
most startling part ot the sacrifice was
that the poor man's last piece of
bread was sold by the agent of a well
known minister of .the gospel, and to
pay an interest of 16 per cent on his
investment besides an ideal farm be
ing greatly improved. Of course the
gent simply did his duty, and it may
bo argued that his ministerial client
now located in a (ieorgla city not far
distant from Atlanta, did not know
the true state of affairs. But the
preacner was certainty aware of a
failure and It seems to me that while
be Is preaching love, forbearance and
charity from the pubpit,' he should
have taken the trouble to. investigate
the condition of . the - poor tenant
before resorting to such extreme
measures. He might have been con
tented himself with the legal rate ot
interest, and thus divided with the un
fortunate renter tho results of the un
favorable season, instead like Shylock
of old, demanding tho pound of flesh.
The victim of this distress warrant
was an honest sober, hard-working
man, who cleared fields and .brought
into cultivation land sodded with ber
mudo. Had this farmer, been blessed
with ordinary seasons he would have
been able to pay even the extortionate
rent demanded. 'But his crop was a
fuiluro, and., with a large and depend
ent family to support he stood by and
saw his last peck of corn and the on-,
tire fruits of a year's hard'Work sold
under the hammer to pay M preacher, .
and a former presiding oldor, 15 per
cent Interest on his investment Now,
if ministors of tho gospel in this day
grow so selfiith and grasping, what can
we expect of the outside world?
What will be the outcome of the
financial depression how . upon the
country I know not I! some relief
is not given the people, I would not
be surprised to see one-half the mor.
chants in Georgia go to the wall and
thousands of acres ot our best farming
lanas grow up in weeds. The planter
cannot pay his debts with 7 cent cot
ton, and the merchant cannot run him
another year unless he is paid for the
goods sold him last season. Wall
street Is closing down on the banks,
tho banks in turn are closing down on
the cotton dealers, the cotton dealers
are pressing the merchants, and the
merchants are trying to coltect from
the farmers. The latter has sold his
cotton, and it has not near paid him
out His lands, his stock, and the
Implements with whWh he works are
now being soized, and they eoll for a
mere song. VV ben the gold kings on
Wall stroot are threatened with finan
cial ombarrassment the government
unlocks tho coffers and comes to their
reliof. But here we find hundrods of
thousands of farmers tottering on the
brink of ruin, and not a hand is raised
to help them. When they ask for that
relief extended., to other classes,
through thoir sufctreasury plan, they .
are met by jeers and rldiuule; and I
here state that many of tho samo men
who have been ridiculing that demand
in our Ocala platform will be yolling
for evon 'truck-patch" currency bo-
lere next spring rolls round. They
are now beginning to . realize
tho. fact that their adversity or
prosperity are linked with the
farmer, and when they pull him .
down they must fall too. Now, had
we our sub-trensury.blU in operation
this financial panic would not be
known. Plenty of money, based on
the imperishable crops on lands of
our great land, would be in circula
tion, and we would now have an un
exampled era of prosperity. But in
stead of this we lind tho ciu-rency ot
our country locicod up in tho eoffor
of the New York jrold kins. who
have it In their power to bring on a
financial panic whonover it suit their
onds, and forco the farmers of the
whole country, to sacrifice their lands
and crops for any price the creditors
choose to pay. ..
iheonly thing that can avort al- i
most universal bankruptcy in Georgia,
as well as all "otjicr.. agricultural ;
states, is charity " and' confidence.'

Mosleal Mrs. Beach.
Mrs. II. II. A. Baaah la a woman of
Whom Boston feels proud. She is only
in her 25th year, but has written a mass
for solos, chorus, orchestra and organ,
which was performed reoently by the
Handel and Haydyn society ot Boston.
This piece is said to be the most import
ant composition ever attempted by
a . woman. The .mass consists of
ten" parts, all of which are
treated with skillful, discrimination
and with the most sensitive apprecia
tion of the demands of their tests.
The reposeful dignity of form and the
solemnity and fervor which character
ize the. work give convincing evidence
of the healthful vigor of the composer's
mind and of her originality in construc
tion and expression. ' Mrs. Beach was
born in Ilenniker, N. II., in 1887, and
has received , her . musical education
in this country. As. a resident of Bos
ton she has given it the honor of listen
ing to the original production of her
work, and this is gratifying in no small
degree to the pride of Bostonians, and
deeply so to its musicians.
Embroidery as a Uarnltore.
Embroidery is this year to be greatly

These aoe of plain China silk, sheer and
beautifully tinted wool fabrics, zephyr

India muslins and silk grenadines.
More beautiful than ever are the Per

with gay jardiniere borderings in
shaded silks. They are to be made up
over silk or satin de Lyen the shade of
the gauze. These last-mentioned ex
quisite fancies are not designed for
general usage, nor were they intended
for ordinary mortals. Fortunately,
however, there are left for these a little
world of artistic and beautiful embroid
ered materials, which, although less
elaborate in design and far less extrav
agant in price, have all the novelty,
delicacy and beauty of effect of the
more costly textiles and patterns. .

Should Women Smoke?
The HoRpital has got into trouble for
advising women whose nerves can not
bear the strain of small worries to trv
smoking, if their doctors recommend it.
But, saya Mr. James Payn pertinently,
why the general public should be more
shocked at a lady being recommended
to smoke tobacco than stramonium one
is at. a Ions to conjecture. ' It will not
be denied by any one short of a fanntic
that a pipe allays the troubles of a man,
and why shouldn't a few whiffs of a
cigarette allay the worries of a woman?
At present its mitigations among the
fair sex are confined thiefly to the fast
and the loose, but' there . is no. more
reason why it should be so than that
the devil, as John Wesley observed,
should have all the best tunes. - .'

masterly exposition of the true conditions
and needs of the .present, depleting the evils

in the past has induced some unscrupulous
persons to Imitate the mill and even fcn take
our H AJaB and apply it to an iuferiormtll Be
