A Temnernncc IOIke.

Joe fIanis was whoe.souled. merry fcl.
low, aud very fond Of a glass. After living in
New Orleans for many years, he came 10 the
conclusion Of visiting an old uncle, away up in
Massachusetts, whom he had not seen for ma.
ny years. Now, there is difference between
New Orleans and Massachusetts in regard TO
The use of ardent spirits, and when Joe arrived
there, he found all The people run mad about
temperance; he felt bad, thinking with The old
song, that excepting the spirits up by pouring
the spirits down." was one of The best ways 10
make time pass, and began to fear indeed, that
he was in u pickle. But on the morning after
his arrival, the old man and his sons being out
a. work. his aunt came TO him and said:
"Joe, you have been living in the South, and
no doubt, ore in the habit oftaking lille some
Thing to drink about eleven O'Clock. Now
keep some here for some medicinal purposes,
but let no ono know it, as my husband wants 10
set the boys good example,"
Joe promised, and thinking that no would
get no more that day, took, as no expressed ii,
cluster" After he had walked out TO the
stable, who should he meet but his uncle.
"Well, joe" snys he, 81 expec. you are ac.
cusiomed TO drink something in New Orleans,
but YOU find US all temperate here, and for the
sake Of my sons, don'I let them know thai |
have any brandy about, bu. ! just keep little
out here for my rheumatism. Will you accept
q lulei"
Joe sgnifed his readiness, and took another
big horn. Then continuing his walk he came
TO where the boys were mauling rails. AIter
conversing awhile one Of his cousins said
"Joe, | expect you would like TO have Il
drink, and as The old folks is down on liquor,
we keep some out here TO help US along with
our work"
Our came the bottle, and down they sat, aud
as he says that by The time he went home TO
dinner, he was as ,ighI as he could be.

The Slate Levy
on all.

For The present year is 81 mills, being one
tenth of a mill less than last year. From this
fact it will be claimed by ioco(ccos that the
public burdens are already becoming lighter
under "Democratc rule" bu, the statement Of
a single fact will dispel The deIusion.
Under the old law about $250,000 OF the
Sale deb. was paid annually, yet, with an in.
crease, as locofocOs claim, OF $40, O,O00,0OO on
the grand duplicate by their new law, they pro.
vide for the payment of but 100000 of the
SlAle debt, while their levy is bn. one poor
tenth of a mill less than last years. What 9th
or conclusion can be drawn from this fact than
that the public expenditures for contingencies
are vastly increased

Wool.

The prospect OF The wool market for the COM
ing season does not appear very promising as TO
prices, owing 10 various causes. There is con-
siderable depression in the market, and from
present indications there appears 10 be no like,
ihood Of aH improvement,
The clip nf 1859 will, il is estmnted, exceed
that Of 1851 hom ten TO fifteen per cent, since,
owing 10 The high prices oblained for wool lssI
season. The number Of sheep slaughtered has
been less than usual. 10 the State Of Ohio, tho
clip is now estimated At from l2 900 900 10 H.
100000 Bs.
ln 1891 there was considerable speculation
among Eastern buyers, and great part Of The
clip was contracted for on The sleeps back,
The many agents sent West 10 buy wool occR.
stoned much competition, and caused grcap
advance in prices.
The maRSfacIurers, in const quence of lhess
forced prices found themselves involved in d.
tficules, and either had TO carry on their oper.
aIlons al loss, in the hope Of an advance in
price Of manufactured goods, or TO stop their
machinery.
A quantity of wool being thus 'hrown upon
The market, prices fell, and The s,och was sold
at loss Of from seven 10 ten per cent. Al the
close ot the year there was a temporary a1-
vance OF TWO or three cents per pound, which,
however, speedily fell off, Prices are now low
er than M say time during last fall.
BY the last advces from England we learn
that wool has slightly declined there. Since
the difficulties have been settled IN Buenos
Ayres prices there have declined S3t per cent.
This circumstance will have tendency TO in.
crease The importation OF South American wool
this year over that oc 1851.

The grea. objection urged against the old law
was, that il was unequal in its operations, la,
some persons were compelled 10 Lear r,ore
than their share of the public burdens. Well,
even If such were the case, (which we by no
means Odmi'') how Is this grievance redressed!
How is it eJdalizedl
F.Jm the foregoing table, il muy be readily
aScerlOined that there is on the duplicate, per-
sonal properly 10 the amount Of S27, l05 more
than last year. There were 1886 names on
the duplicate last year, and this year but 1928
about 3 of last years number. There were
3096 votes cast in tho county last fall for Gov.
ernor, 1886 Of these paid taxes on personal
property, in 1851, while in 1859 only 1925 will
pay taxes. A great falling off lrulyl Is this
equal taxation, 1000 more properly and 1000
less tax payersl
Blu. who are affected most by this change, The
farmer or The persons living in lownsi We
have made no estimate for any Of the towns ex.
cept CarrollIon, and we discover that there is q
falling off Of several thousand doars--morc
than the difference between this and last year s
valuation, and we venture the assertion that to
take any village in the county the snmo result
will be arrived at How can il be otherwise,
when less than half the number Of the inhabi.
tun,s of villages are listed this year that were
on the duplicate in 1851
We submit The foregoing table to our readers
hoping those interested will examine il careful.
y, and ascertain whether or not, this pet Of 10.
cofocoism-lhe TAX law, is all that it claims lc
be--a law imposing the public burdens equally
on oil.
