War and Taxation.


War (says the Scientific Amerieau)a
may justly be regarded as the greatest
of all curses; but its influence on ma,
ton is not necessarily debasing Few
events rouse and elevate the nation SO
much as just and patriotic war. Iti
nises the tone OF public morality and
destroys the sordid selfshnoss and de-
graded submssiveness which so often
result from long protraeted peace
Such vas the Dutch war ofindopendouce
against the Spaniards; such the German,
war against the aggression of Louis
XIV, and the French war against the
coalition of 1892. Such were the wars
Of the Revolution and Of 1872. DR..
Lieber very justly inquiries, "Whcnce
do Americans habitually take their best
and purest examples Of all that is con-
nectod with patriotism, public spirit, de-
votedness to common good, purity of
motive aud action If not from the dar-,
ing band of their patriots of the Revo.
lution?" The government of the Uni
ted States--the most kind and pnternal
on earth-a government that never in.
jured a single citizen entitled to its pro-
lection, was ruthlessly and wickcdly as
sailed by band Of ambitious consriraa
tors who sought its overthrow; and mill
/ lions of loyal citizens declared in the
stirring words of the patriot Jackson,
"The Union, it shall and must be pre-
served" These burning words were
earnestly uttered by their author, and in
seiSing them as the rallying cry for tho
great emergency now upon the country,
their meaning is inte nsified thousand
fold. This is attested by the fact that,
more than G00,000 loyal hearts are now
in arms to defend that stirring utter
ance to the death, and the best blood
Of the land has poured out freely in de-
votion to it. These noble men cannot
be armed, fed and clothed without mo-
ney, and the government must sink to
ruin unless the people patriotically
submit to taxation to uphold it. Our
people are unused to taxation, but they
must submit to it cheerfully unless they
are willing to see their heritage ruined
forever. .....y ..
We present herewith the following
abstract Of the tax bill which is now
before Congress, as reported by the
House Committee of Ways and Means
Let US all make up our minds to meet
its demands without grumbling, and
labor and pray the more earnestly that
the cause of the present trouble may
, speedily come to an end. ..-. a4.#T
