IKC0J1E TAXES T1IEOUV AND FACT. Two principal objections are urged against an income tax. One is tbat it is iu'iuisilorial and the other that it cannot be collected. Let us sec. Their favorite system of raising revjnue in this country is by tariff duties. The income tax is meant to take the place of excessive tariff exactions. 1 it more inquisitorial than a sys'om whih opens every trunk, explores the stock underwear, turns it out on the dock and compels even refined and delicate women to expose to rude official gaz9 the reservatins of the toilet itself? Is it more inquisitorial than a system which plants spies all ever Kurope, and sends them on board transatlantic steamers to worm themselves into and betray the confidence of their fellow passengers? Is it more inquisitorial than a system which ehiiius and exercises the right to subject even the persons of travelers to earth ? All that an income tax system asks is an honest report cf eacii man's earnings orer and above exemptions. It does not pulilUh the facts. It does not in any way invade Ibe home, the wardrobe or the person of the taxpayer. But the income tax cannot be collected, wearetoM. Is that a fact? It was col lected from 1G3 to 1S70. I luring those eight years it yielded revenue to the gov ernment as follows: 18ft? 1864 lr3.j 1S )S7 H(W im 1870-- $2,741,.25 ..20,2:15.771.74 o2,o50,0l0.44 72,ys2,i5:i.o:j (K,0i4.425.:t4 4I.455.59S..SG :tt.7!U.8.-i).W 7.775,871.02 During this period the law was several times changed, usually in ways to lessen its exactions; yet in each form that it took it showed a tendency to produce a steadily increasing revenue, though that revenue might be less than under the preceding and more exigent law. Even so crude an income tax law as that which was in force from 18G3 to 1870 yield ed an avdrage annual revenue of about 0,0O0,00O, which is just about the am ount now needed to meet the deficiency created by the effort to lessen the taxes up on the necessaries of lifo and to set manu -factures free from the burdens of taxed raw materials. To say that such a tax caunot be collected is to deny the facts of history and to main -tain a wholly groundless assumption. It is also to ignore othsr facts open to every man's observation. The majoiity of the incomes to be taxed are perfectly easy of ascertainment. The earnings of corpora tions are' matters of compulsory record. Taxes assessed upon dividends will be paid to the last cent. All great mercantile and manufacturing enterprises have their results record' d in systematic book accounts. A great multitude of those to be taxed receive their incomes in the form of sala ries or wages, easily ascertainable. It is dilllcult to conceive of a tax which presents fewer difficulties of assessment and collection. It is the fairest and least burdensome of all taxes. it is immeasurably less inquisitorial than are the levies It is meant to replace. Finally, it is a tax more easily collected upon a basis of equity than any other that is capab'e of yielding so large a revenue In some villages in the south of England the appointments of the wedding are made to 'xar a relation to the business of tho town At a carpenter's wedding tho aisle or the ci-urch was strewn with shavings; a a blacksmith's with coal and iron filings; a farmer walked on straw, a butcher on skins.
