As usual, hs was one of thu earliest comers— Ib fact, he appeared beforo Miss l'ollard or her counael or any of hie own counsel entered the court room. When he took tha stand nnd leaned somewhat forlornly on Judge Bradley's desk, Major Butterworth began by quoting the testimony of Miss Pollard with reference to the alleged proposal of marriage in August, 1803, which, the plaintiff claims, took place in a carriage in this city. Col. BreckiBridge denied all these statements of tba plaintiff concerning the alleged conversation during the ride, lie aaid he did not sec the plaintiff in August, 1893, and did not know she was in Washington at tha time. Major Butterworth made reference to Mlaa Pollard's statement* that the defendant had made her give up her child and that he had talked with her about hie deceased wife. l'ollard Visited the Washington Chief of Pol lee—lie Said lie Would ' i*i- s Marry He*on the bait Day of the Month If <)od Did Not Interpose— Agreement* To Break Off. ' Income Tax. In regard to the income tax Mr. Voorheea said 1b M*t: ''Tbs pnmptlaB contained in the pending bill (O levy a tax of two per cent *u all net incomes of corporations and of individuals In excess of $4,000, per annum Is so just and equitable towards the hardworking taxpayers of meager resourcee throughout tha entire country, that not a word in its defense or explanation would seem necessary hsre or anywhere else. On sll the wanta and necessaries of life the man of wealth with a heavy Income, paya less ratea of tariff tax under existing laws than the laboring mdn or laboring woman whose wearing apparel is of coarser matsrlal, aad whose household living is supplied with cheaper goods bearing higher rates of duty. His bonds, his acsumulatad riches of ialt kinds, and •11 incomes arising from them, are exempt from all government burdens, remaining not only undiminished and unmolested amidat darkened houses and flagrant distress, bat growing fntter, stronger, and mere defiant as the days ami the yeara go by. Sugar Duty. "Absolute free trade In sugar Is an attractive theme, bat no auch thing haa •▼er existed (or • single hoar since the organization 0f this goTernment. A moderate duty haa alwajra been imposed 01 ■agar, and it has always been a staunch revenue support to the government. The (act that the duty tax on aagar haa en■red more to the benefit of the revenues •f the government and lean to the profit* of private parties than any other tax known to tariff legislation, may be atated aa the main reason why the democratic party has never made an issue against it It is conceded by all parties that the duty paid on imported sugar goes more (airly and aquarely in to the treasury than any other duty provided by law, aad it follows, aa light follows darkness, that tar- , iff taxation can therefore be reduced in proportion on other thinga which the people hava to bay and use." Mr. Voorhees referred to the reciprocity elauseof the McKinlcy law aa an unparalleled and clearly unconstitutional piece of legislation. It oraeitn aeA.'uaea uie au vuoitoi duties a> ngainat the specific tax, and he discussed at length the Walker tariff and It* effect*, aud then came down to a closer view o» the details of the pending bill. He declared that on the subject of augar the McKioley law waa a higgle aad a fraud, and was Intended aa auch. Concentration of Wealth, "In considering an Income tax tha moat •xtraordinary and startllag fact we discover is ths very small number of people to whom it applies. The commissioner of Eternal revenue, in a recant communication to tha waya and meana committee of the house, eetimatee the present population of the United States at not lea* than 6&,000,003, and the wealth of the country at or an average of (1,000 per capita, if there waa an equal distribution. Hie further estimate, however, la that, so great has been the condensation of capital into the ownership of a email and powerful claas that the tax here proposed on incomes of over #1,000 will reach only about 85.000 indlvlduale and corporations out of more than 65,000,000. These figures may well make the country pause.
