What May Be Expected l'rom Southern
nomination lupongrese—Hpeolal Taxes
Imposed Upon All Farm Products-A
Tenth of the Tater Crop.
Business called me to Virginia last
week, and of course I went to Rich-
mond. There are a good many politi-
cians in Richmond, and there are a
good many frostraders'amoug them.
They are all brimful of politics. but
they seem pretty thoroughly disgusted
becauaavl'ith the large majority of their
party in office, they have not been able
to make a force bill out of the Wilson
bill. They want to down the northern.
‘ and western industries, and to
down them quickly and thoroughly.
sections by preventing any orican
manufacturing unless at European wage
rates. and they also believe that the in~
come tax will squeeze out of those man-
ufacturers and hardworking laborers a
share of the savings that they have been
able toput by as the result of honest
work and hard toil.
An income tax is about the only kind
of a tax they believe in. As my friend,
Mr. Screechorn, said, “We will take it
out of them with an income tax. ”’
“But won’t they also in the south
have to pay an income tax as well?“ I
“Oh, no, ” was the reply, “we can fix
that. You see, our men will be in office
as tax collectors, and if we put up a rich
man or two, here and there, from whom
some tax can be collected, then, you see,
tho rest of us in the ‘poverty strickon’
south needn’t pay any tax. It won’t
hurt us to be called ‘povgfliywickeu'
then. ’ ’ w
Friend ’Scrccchorn pnfl'cd away at his
Virginia tobacco, smiling significantly,
and said: “They do not really know
what this income tax yet means up
north. but thcy’ll find out, though. after
a bit. You soc, it's called an income tax,
but if you’ll come along with um I will
show you a copy of the acts of the First
congress of tho Confederato Status, and
thou you will con what an income tax
really docs mcau. "
I accompnuicd my friend 'Scrocchorn
to a very comfortabln homc. He took
down from a shelf in his library a pupcr
covered pamphlct that lookcd as if it
had hccn wull road and oftcu Used. It
provcd to bo tho statuto for 1563-4 of
the public laws of the Confederate States
of America, carcfully collated with tho
originals at Richmond, edited by James
M. Mattllmvs, nttomcy at law and law
clcrk iu the dcpurtnu-nt of justicc.
Tho first thing I saw upon opcuiug it
was thc tax which fanncrs had to pay
by contributing onc-tcnth of thcir swcct
pc'xtntm-s was amcmlcd so that the. pay-
ment might ho mado in the money valuo
thcreof, and that salt pork should bu
takcn as tho cquivalcut for the tax on
bacon:
l remarked that I did not know that
farm products had bccu dircctly taxed,
and that forum-rs woro compollcd to con-
tribntc a certain portion of their crops ‘
dircctly to the goycmmcut.
“Oh, yes, " said Scrccchom, “we
taxed them on cverything. A tax on in-
comes is only thc beginning of it. Why.
look licrc at chaptcr 64, pages 209-10,
and hero you will sco a 5 pcr ccnt tax

"Tho success (under protection) of tho
United Status in material dovolopmcnt
is the most illustrious of tho modern
times. The American nation has not
only successfully homo and supprmsed
the most gigantic and oxtcusivo war of
all history. but immediately afterward
disbanded its army, found work for all
its soldiers and marines, paid off most of
its debt, given labor and homes to all the
metaployed of Europe as fast as they
avoid arrive within its territory and has
done all this by a system of taxation so
. as not to be perceived, much
lei felt.
"Because it is my deliberato judgu

mainly due to its system of pmtectire

vigorous old man. telling his Mussol-
man beads crmslegged on a mud bench,
and on the floor bent over the fire the
oldest looking human being I ever saw
alive.
"Mummies I have seen, and wondered
not that they were dead, but in what
part of her withered desiccated frame
that old woman found space to keep the
stern vital energies that lined her grim,
carved face I can scarcely guess. She
lacksd no more living than seaweed
does, dried and stretched on paper. Her
arms, her legs—~thrust almost into the
fire—were so shrunk "that the long
lesthern flesh and flaccid muscles hung
round them like dangling shreds on
sticks.
“Round her neck were beads of
wood, and round her wrists leather-n
bracelets—~though, to be sure, i cannot
rand on her face lurked not only lines,
but gullics and passages, they seemed
so deep and fallen. But for the occa-
sional upturned glance of her cold, un-
questioning eye I could not have sup-
posed her anything else than one of the
earliest and best preserved of the re-
motest queens of Egypt.
”The old man gave us a“lusty wel~
coma and sent for milk and dates and
filled our pockets. He showed us his
long spear that hung against the wall
and told me with a proud gesture that
he had often killed his man. but m 0
often with a sword, and taking mo%y
the shoulder showed me fiercely how
he used to do it. He was 90 years old
and had never been further from home
than Assouun, and then only once.
"All his sons sat and stood round us,
and in tho background against the mud
granary white teeth glimmered and the
broad, black faces of the women shone.
I asked him what present he would
like. and ho askcd for a little rice and
allttle coffee. All tho limo ho clutched
and fingered his Muslim rosary. which,
when I admired, ho wanted mo to ac-
cept. Tho sun came back with us to
