THE QUESTION TESTED.

When the Tariff bill was under conside-
ration during the last session of Congress.
The so.called Democratic party opposed it
on the ground that i, would benefit the rich
at the expense of the poor-in their own
language, " that it would make the rich
richer. and the poor poorer" In attempt
ing TO sustain this position they had re-
course to the following specious modes of
reasoning. A tariff, they said, would raise
the price Of all kinds of manufactured goods,
and all merchantable produce, therefore.
those who lad such property would find
themselves enriched in the same ratio as
that in which the value of their property was
raised while the poor, being obliged 10
pav-more for all articles Of consumption,
would be impoverished, without participating
in the general benefit. These propositions
appear at frs; sight to be fairly drawn up.
and the conclusions which accompany them
seem to be naturally deduced from the pre-
misses. But a careful examination will
convince every candid mind that they are
incorrect in theory, and that the issue is also
entirely erroneous. In the first place, a
tariff does not necessarily elevate the STAN
dard value Of our products and manufac-
lures. For it may consist merely in laying
duties upon articles which we can neither
raise or construct. Or, being a tariff for
revenue. it may only charge imposls Oh ar
ticles of luxury and extravagance, such as
wrought figured silks, Grecian carved fur
niture, and old bottled wines, etc., which
would be too expensive for men in ordinary
circumstances, even if admitted duty free.
In either case the price of property would
not be affected. But such law would be
very oppressive TO the rich, for they would
be obliged 10 contribute exclusively 10 the
support of the government while the benefits
of that government were conferred alike
upon the opulent and the INDECENT. 1t is

REV. WILLIAM MILLER.


We clip the following as TO the whe-ea-
bouts and Vaccinations of The Rev. Mr..
Miller from the Bennington Banner. By
obstinate unbelievers it may be regarded as
an interesting fancy sketch, but far different
will be the impression upon those WHO con-
slider Nj. Miller far more learned and
faithful interpreter of revelation than the
long succession of prophets, who, in every
century, from the first advent down TO the
present moment, have alarmed the world
with similar predictions. Although Mr.
Miller for The year last past had fixed upon
the spring of ls43, and more recently upon
the year 1913, for the second advent, as the
time approaches. if our papers are to be re-
lied on, he grows less sanguine, and we
should not be astonishcd if he should keep
the world in awful suspense through the
year 1914. Some hopes have been indulg-
ed here, that Mr.. Miller would visit this
region again. But we find him last in
Pennsylvania.
This gentleman arrived in this village,
and commenced a course of lectures on his
favorIie and celebrated lheme-ihe Destruc-
ton of the World by fire in A. d. 1S43, on
last Sunday week, the 22d inst. which he
continued through the week, delivering two
lectures each day. generally; TO full audi.
ences. During his first lecture he gave
substantially the following description of the
manner of the Second Advent.
A small bright spot will first appear in
the east, which viii gradually expand as it
approaches the earth. BY and BY, small
cloud will appear before the luminous ball,
and between it and the cath. On thus cloud
will be seen the Son of Man, standing erect,
his figure plainly visible TO the spectators
on the earth. At the sound of a trumpet
Tor some other signa) the bright spot hav-
ing gradually Illuminated the whole heavens,
the righteous dead shall rise from their rest
ing paces-and the risen and the living
SAINTS shall together be caught up and meet
the Savior 10 the air, when they will instant
" be changed and clothed with immortality.
The Savior will then present them 10 the
Father, whose presence is denoted by this
luminous mass, perfect. without spot or
wrinkle. The Father will then give the
Saints, by the marriage covenant, as bride
to the Son. They will then be constituted
the New Jerusalem, and, together with the
Savior, will descend 10 the earth. which dur
ing their absence has been purified by fire,
and the wicked burned up, where the Saints
will dwell with Christ forever.

More OF Observation-Disclosures has a
greater show of Argument than fanaticism
usually offers; it takes stronger hold of the

that within the vortex should be drawn some

tude. They originally named, as the time
for tie general winding up, the twenty
third of April. As this period approaches.
they are making an effort to set it ahead.
But it will be abortive. The first of May
will see the wane of tha. fanaticisnl-not its
extinction but lis scane. Some will cling
TO it till the end of the year, and then hum
dreds will throw away their bibles. and be.

New PosT OFFICE LAw-Thc press
are already discussing the merits of Tie
proposed Post Office law. The New York
Evening Post says-Of all the modes Of
publication, that by periodicals. and pam

country. Our prolific presses give out
publications in this shape by tens Of thou
sands. They are sent in huge boxes from
one great city TO the others, and to tho
smaller towns, where they arc distributed
by the agents, whcae they are distributed by
the agents. without cost 10 the subscribers
and others. The bill before The Senate pro-
poses to make this method of distribution
coniraband, and TO punish, by fine Of one
hundred and fifty dollars, every act oflrans-
hitting, by any other conveyance than the
United States mails, all newspapers, and all
magazines and pamphlets. periodically
published. and oil written or printed
matter of which each copy or edition shall
not exceed pound in weight, with the ex-
cep,ion of bound books. This will compel
the publishers Of magazines in Philadelphia.
Graham's Magazine for instance, TO send
the work BY mail. TO their subscribers in this
CITY. The knIckeTbocker Magazine, which
is printed in Boston, but the circulation Of
which, we believe, is in this neighborhood,
must come 10 its readers in this city charg-
ed with postage from Boston. The bust
ness of carriers of country newspapers will
be annihila,ed-the subscribers must wait
for the mails. weekly mails perhaps, that the
government may receive its postage. Books
of moderate size can no logger be sent in
sheets from the city where they are printed
TO booksellers in another place. A book
seller who causes a book TO be print
ed in Boston, which does not weigh
pound in sheets. will be obliged to iGcur the
expense Of putting the whole edition in bind
ing before he can receive it, unless he
chooses to pay postage Such is the i'm
provemeni in the Post Office laws, which
at present employs the grave deliberations
Of the Senate-a project so attrociously op-

should consent 10 waste IFS time in consid-
