The income tax feature of tin

Senators. Theie i* no euttlily
reason why the eat fortunes
are beiufi built up sit the cxpen
of the people should not lie
to pay liis just shaie of taxation
and nobody has ever ilisputed tin
justness of this tax. iiie t»enati
especially is afraid of this «piestioi
Heretofore the Senate has beeu
the srroat defender of the million
airs, but these .-enalois are hear
in<r from their constituents in no
uncertain terms concerning tin
desirability of an income tax and
a great many Senators have I ecu
given to understand that unless
thev support an income tax, the}
will remain at home after the next
election. There has never been o
time in the history of this country
when the people were so free to
express their wishes to the Sena-
tors and Representatives in Cong-
ress as at the present time and
this is an exceedingly wi.-e thii g
for tliem to keep up, lo." unless
they watch their ben.tins and
Congressmen, they are not likely
to lie well represented or have
their wishes carried into law.

Washington, I). C., April 16,
100D - I'ho wheal corner that has
just been established in Chicago
by Mr. Fatten has called attention
to * he fact that (lie consumers of
this country are entirely at the
mercy of our huge capitalist
speculators. Our Congressmen in
Washington are giving this mat-
ter serious consideration for it is
admitted to lie a critical state of
affairs, when a hand full of capit-
alists can cov er the wheat of the
country and shove the pricj up to
an unreasonable ligure, thereby
robbing the mi'lions of people of
this country. However the rem
edy is a very si in | hi one. We!
have a tariff of '2~t cents per busl e'
on wheat imported in this covin
try. That Tariff does not benefit
all the farmers '>f tlie country, so
much as ten cents per year and
without that tariff the yreat wheat
corner that has been formed,
would be impossible for the reas-
on, that as soon as the wheat
reached a high ligure. there would
bo a tremendous importing of
wheat from Canada and Vigenline
which would nndei it impossible
to raise the price of wheat, w'il,-
out cornering the when' of the
whole world, which could not I e
done.
The on ■ t!i:ii<r Ihnt Congress is
being uracil to do is this matter i

Principles of Economy Involved.
The agitation for elimination of the
jobber 1s based more upon prejudice
and passion than upon facts. The
American people are always looking
for a shorter route to a d. sired end.
They care little who it eliminates just
so It decreases their cost of living.
They care little If every link in the
chain is I roken and t: •> manufacturery
Is allowed to supply the wants of the
trade direct. No one else could object
to this plan of procedure If It pos-
sessed any economic points to recom-
mend it. Time and well ordered ex-
periments have proven, however, that
the best, the most convenient, the
cIk i te. i and most serviceable method
of supplying the wa-itK Of the consum-
er is from maker to jobber, from job-
ber to retailer, and from retailer to
consumer. The opportunity for dev-
il"-ont upon the 1 art of those who
find mm li of p. e1'! ^ain in showing
the consumer the lar;:e number of
mlddlen:, u he is keeping and that If
they be cut out he, the consumer,
will enjoy this profit, fa great. Thus
began the from-factory lo-family, cut-
out-the-mlddte-man argument, and It
so "ids pood upon the face of things,
but. as ftate.l above, hns no real sav-
ing at all, since ti e expense incurred
in getting small shipments from the
factory to the consumer is greater
than the very small per cent, exacted
by both joliber and retailer for their
part !' .1 .li tlie transaction up-
