Sewing Machines!

These Machines make tho lock-sttch
alike on both sides, and use less than half
the thread and silk that the single or
double thread loop-stich Machines do;
will Hem, Fell, Gather, Cord, Braid,
Bind, &c, and are better adapted than
any other Sewing Machine in use to the
frequent changes and great variety of
sewing required in family, for they will
sew from one to twenty thicknesses of
Marseilles without stopping, and make
every stitch perfect, or from the finest
gauze to the heaviest beaver cloth, or
even the stoutest harness leather, without
changing the feed, needle, or tension, or
making any adjustment of Machine what
ever!
They arc simple in construction, and
easily understood; and il any part is
broken by accident, it is readily replaced.
These are peculiar facts, and will &c
far to determine the choice Of any intelli,

Union
TEE TAX on GoLp AND SILvEE--The proposi-
ton 70 tax the produce Of the gold and silver mines
five per cent, which the House Of Representatives
hastily adopted. IS not approved by the Senate. A
substitute. imposing tax OF one-half of one per
cent. il the shape Of stamp duty 70 De collected
st the Mints snd the assay Offices, and forhidding
under heavy penalties the exportstion Of any
quantity OF the precious metals derived frem our
mines upon which the tax has not been paid. was
adopted By the upper branch Of Congress The
Secretary Of the Treasury favors this substitute
and We think that upon mature consideration Of
the arguments upoa which il is based, the House
will concur. Since this important question was
first preached at Washington. circumstances
against the pro posed action have been transmitted
from the Pacific coast and several influential jour
nals in New York have deprecated hasty and ig-
legislation upon the subject The capitalists
of the East who have recently manifested dispo-
sition to invest heavily in mining enterprises, rein
force the pressure from California Nevada and Col
orado. The Senate amendment imposes q light
tax in such way that the producers OF the prec-
ious metals will not be vexed by the collection and
yet the Government viii obtain more revenge by
this plan than by any system of collection Of our
individual miners or corporations. No revenue
officer will be sent to hunt the honest miner"
from placer to placer. The tax IS too light to dis
courage the more extensive and costly operations
of mining corporations, and these companies are
relieved from the prospect OF Government lnspec-
ton In short. under this plan, the Government
will get the needed revenue without depressing the
chief industrial interest Of the Pacific slope or
creating discomfort which might be turned to dam
aging account by kuayish. disl0yal politicians
The action of the Senate gives shape to the wisest
and most lenent scheme of taxing the yield of
gold and silver mines which can be expected IL the
present condition OF the National Treasury.
