SOUR MING.


 The tories are obviously afraid to meet the demo- crats and whigs on the surplus question. They are trying to get ef by the following suggestons.
 l. It is said that is not certain there will be sur plus, whereas the fact is directly the reverse. The last act left undstributed surplus of $5 0OOO00 In addition @S 100000 will resdt from the U. s. Bank stock owned by the government, and besides immense sums w acce rom the sales Of the P9OS b. less than $30 100000 the lst of January l63S The tories said before that there would be no surplus, and yet the People got no less than not exact would the measure do if 1t should turn out that there is no surplus? Would not the act be wholly inopera- tive. in that event Answer that if you cani Doct. ? It is said that Doc. Phelps and his associates re opposed to fixing system o taxation and distribution on the country. Why, it s askeds tax the People to distribute the money back sgalnl Io thls the an tion but from the sales of the public domain Laytax es to support the governmen-gve the avails oi the public lands to the people-thsi is the true repuohcan and will not favor the public by redu cing the prices of the necessares of life. Has the re- duction of the duties hitherto made the least derenSe! Do we for example pay the same preo R, TOT r, ,6e revenue can be reduced to the vents ol the govern ment, why not divide the surplus for the time being Every body regards this SSsnsss 0i dson.E as do with Sl6OO,OOO annually forever2 Let distribution proceed till we get enough to support :chools tGres and am not afraid to sayl to build occasionally What have you to say to this Doct Phelps
 g. It is said that Congress will next winter have been in session whole month before the 1st of Janua. " 1898, when the new distribution waste commence.
