DR.. OEDs' LETTERS ON THE TAX LAW.
We publish this week the first of a Sc
ries of letters by DR.. Olds on the subject Of
the Tax Law, which we commend to the
perusal of our readers. This bill was op-
posed BY the Doctor at every step, and we
do not know of another person better quail
fled 10 expose its inequalities and iniquities.
We trust that the denunciations heaped
upon DR.. Olds by our neighbor Of the Star,
Immediately after the adjournment Of the
Legislature, will not have so far prejudieed
the public against him as to deprive him of
hearing. The other letters will appear
soon, and we ask perusal of them by all,
both democrats and wings, and then let
them judge for themselves which ore the
greater demagogues, those who advocate
this unjust and unequal law, when the fig
ures which they themselves present demon
strate its injustice, or they who contend tha,
it is unjust and unequal, and should there
fore be repealed, that a new law which
shall bear alike upon all, may take it
place.

Election Returns.


Whitcomb, [dem. has been
reelected Governor over his whig opponent
by large majority-as the returns are
not yet full we cannot give the exact result.
The democrats have two majority in the
Senate, this is a gain Of two members
since last year, and the probability is the
wings will have small majority in the
House. Local questions divided our friends
in many counties, which was the cause Of
throwing this lower branch of the govern
ment into the hands of the enemies of equal
ity and truth. Indiana is democratic to the
core and will prove herself so in all coming
time.
KENTUcKY.-The returns from this old
whig State for members of the Legislature
leave no doubt Of the election of majority
Of wings, though the Democrats have gain
ed some seven or eight in the counties heard
from.
ILLINOIS seems to be all going one way.
There will do doubt be Democratic Gov
ernor, Legislature, and five Of the six Con-

ss9a "Buncomb speech" 1--WE are somewhat
]. .ssysined to believe ihatthe man himself is
apprehensive that his distinguished efforts
will place him among the latter class.
For three long years has he represented
our District in Congress. His Maiden
speech Familiarity known as the "Kid Glove
Speech" was merely clever joke of the
petty Jogging kinds His next, against the
Bill for raising Regiment of mounted men,
was so perfect failure that the Star let it
fall with the remark that Mr.. Tilden's speech
was read and we'll spoken of by some read
ers. Nevertheless that speech did wonders,
it proved that the Union was dissolved, and
that the opinion Of Mr.. T. was unalterably
settled unless, perchance, the good people Of
Ohio should change their views! And then
what? Why, Mr.. T. might then change
his views. How very obliging to have
such an accommodating gentleman to rep
resent this good people.
But it was not until goaded to desperation
that the giant was fully reused. He stooc

@ all the calamities of war coming upon us

yet Jupiter like he thunders on, and on, and

For the SentincR
KelleyiSm.-NO. 9.

Through brief article in the last Senti-
mel we made an effort to show the folly and
wickednes ofthis trio of pretended reform
ers in attempting to justify their licentious
abuse of the liberty ofspeech by the exam
pie of Christ.
We now propose to examine their prac-
tice Of the doctrine ofnon-resistance. They
boldly profess this doctrine, and claim to
exemplify it in their conduct. How far
their pretentions accord with this profession
we will endeavor to show. This doctrine
is fully taught and finely illustrated in the
teachings and actions of the "Prince Of
peace" Speaking Of the principle of retail.

illustration Of the doctrine of non-resistance

consumers in this country 10 purchase the
articles of consumption encumbered with
less duty than under the law Of 1912, and
consequently at less price, and because it
abolishes all specific duties by which arti'
cles of the poorer quality an2 lped
principally by the poor, were niadsfo pay
as heavy duty as those of much greater
value which are consumed only by the
wealthy. 1t is not only denounced as q
"free trade tariff" but our neighbor of the
Star goes still farther into rhe.pictures, and
in his paper Of week before last says:-"ln-
stead ofa Tariff with incidental protection,'
the locofocos have passed a Tariff with IN
cidental bountiss on the Joreig" ma"9tae-
iurer over the American"
Free trade, wo understand to be, trade en-
tirely unincumbered by duties for the pur-
pose of raising tho price Of articles, or
which will tend to prevent in any manner
the transportation Of commodities from one
point to another, or from one country to
another, as is the case between the several
States Of this confederacy. 1t will not be
contended for a moment, by any one, that
such state OF trade will exist under the
new tariff law of 1916. The duties under
the new law range from 700 per cent. to
articles admitted free of duty. The heavi
est duties being upon articles of luxury,
used principally by the wealthy, while those
admitted free of duty are such as are in gen
eral use and not raised in this country
Under this tariff law, ifa man wishes to
wear a coat made of an imported cloth, he
must, in addition to the price of the article,
unencumbered with duty, pay 30 per cent
and such is the case with almost all other
articles Of consumption. But with a full
knowledge of all these facts the veracious
editor of the Star asserts that the ''locofocos
have passed tariff with incidental boun-
ties on the foreign manufacturer"
This bill was passed, we believe with a
view to raise revenue, without reference
to protection. Yet, does not every one
know (the editor Of the Star included) that
duty imposed upon foreign manufactu-
rers, whatever may be the purpose for which
it is levied, operates i'll favor of, and is q
protection to, the domestic manufacture to
the amount of the duty levied2 There can
be no doubt that this law removes, in de-
gree, the obstruction which has been thrown
in the way Of trade with foreign nations,
and is one step towards restoring to the
people their natural and undoubted right Of
trading where they can do ii to the best ad,
vantage. 1t is one step and long one
towards breaking down that system of en-
couraging by law the spirit of monopoly
which has gained such foot-hold upon this
country, and which serves to transfer the
products of the laboring classes into the
pockets Of the wealthy drones Of society, fol
whose beneftthe whigsare ever legislating
without the return of an equivalent.
