When the Income Tax Starts. A Ti?gwy ImporTOT- question that has been the ''subject of much dis cus?ka^?i^? that lie Sei??e "Ewr?ff bn? would be? comes ?aw^relites to the itjpeme tax imd ^e*$?te oto which it witt go into effect. R:is tfce opinion of the members-of &e Way? and Means Committeethat this provision wjQ become operative next January, and the tax which will theo be levied will be upon incomes earned since Jan.. 1, 1894. This opinion is based upon a literal interpretation of the terms of the bill, which are as follows : "Sec. 54. That from and after the 1st of January, eighteen hundred and ninety-five, and until the first day of January, nineteen hundred, there shall be assessed, levied, col * lected and paid annually upon the gains, profits and income received in the preceding calendar by every ' citizen of the United States, whether residing at home or abroad, and every per?ro^?^ said gai ns profits or income be levied from ~aiH*f J?ad of property, rents, interest, dividends or salaries, or from any profession, trade employ? ment ?r^ocit?ttv carried on in the United States ^"elsewhere, or from any other source whatever, a tax of 2 per centum on the amowit so derived over and above four i thousand dol? lars ; afcdT- a lfa* tax shaft be levied, collected and paid annually upon the gains- profit s and i acorn? from all property owned* and of every busi? ness, trade or profession carried on in the United States by j>ersons re? siding - without - ther United States. And the tax herein provided for shall be assessed, by the Commis* sioner of internai Revenue and col? lected and paid Qpo^tl^;%a^,^i^< fits and income for the year ending the thirty-first day of December next proceeding the time for levying, col? lecting and paying?aid tax.** Wfi?t W??^iff?f?'^tt? p&y as In? come Tax. New York, Aug. 15 -If fci?iooaires .ver pray, and the most bunible man will admit that meo of wealth are some-, times suppliant, it is to be presumed that there are many silent petitions being sent forth that President Cleve? land will veto the tariff b?31 and thus kill the provision for the levying of a? . income tax. Although the two per cent, tax provided for OB incomes of more than ?4,000 wilt be a contribu? tion of bot one dollar ont of fifty :o Uncle Sam, UU^e^ally..belie ved that in many mansions the wealthy-owners look upon the tax as a great hardship. It is estimated by Treasury experts that the revenue derived from tbe in? come tn mm^W^S^,^;^^ f??t: Other estimates vary from ?25,000, 000 to $40,000,000. Of this New York's men of wealth and others not termed wealthy, bot who live comfor? tably on more than ?4,000 a year, will pay a large proportion. The tax to be paid by some of the leading millionaires of this city will ?o many instances ron np in the thousands. William Waldorf Astor will undoubtedly lead the list. His incomes is estimated at ?8,900,900 per year, and on this be will have to pay a yearly tax of $178. 000. John D. Rockefeller, whose in? come is estimated at $7,611.250, will have to pay $152,225; the Goold estate ?80,800, and poor and unhappy Russell Sage aboot ?90,000. Corne? lius Vanderbilt, with a o estimated in? come of $4,048,000, will have lo con? tribute a yearly tax of ?80,960, while William K. Vanderbilt's contribution to the national exchequer will be about ?75,000. John Jacob Astor will be let off on a payment of ?60,000. Other millionaires and their probable income tax are Henry M. Flagler, ?50. 000; Frederick W. Vanderbilt, ?35, 000: Louis C. Tiffany, ?35,000; Collis P. Huntington ?20,000; Wil? liam Rockefeller, ?60.000; Moses Taylor estate, ?50,000, Robert Goelet, $25,000; Ogden Goelet, ?20,000. There will be some fair hands, too, that will cooont ont cash to the inter? nal revenue collectors. It will cost Mrs. Bradley-Martin, Mrs. Anson Pbelpbs Stokes, Clementina Furniss and Sophia R. Furnies about $10,000 each if the bill goes on the statute books, and if Mrs. Hetty Green doesn't succeed in dodging the collector it is estimated that she will bave to part with $40,000. The feelings, of the millionaires who are to be taxed, if Mr. Cleveland says so, may be partially alleviated by the fact that the net earnings of corporations are to be taxed before being paid out io dividends, so very few rich men will be obliged to give over the entire amount of their tax in a lump sum. Like men who buy their cigars singly instead of in a box, because it doesn't seem to cost so much, they may thus be kept from believing themselves on the verge of bankruptcy when the tax col? lector comes around jost before the 4th of July.-Philadelphia Times. A Georgia newspaper makes the assertion that since the passage of the tariff bili "all woollen goods will be cheaper than ever before. A man will be able to almost swap bis linen duster for a good winter overcoat." So the good times are coming. Kentucky bees are finding a use j for tte Mammoth Cave. They are converting it into a great hive. There are parts of it now through which one must put on a diver's suit or something of that sort to go with impunity through the swarms that are doiog business there. A Great Work Accomplished.
