Total domestic consumption. 81. 3.,o0

As the cost Of Whisky, our principal Liquor
was then under % cents per gallon, the aggregate
of Liquors consumed in this country cannot have
fallen far short Of One Hundred Millions of
gallons, which, at the present rate OF duty,
would afford revenue of Two Hundred Mil
lions per annum. But, suppose tho duty to
diminish consumption by one-fourth, and that
Illicit distillation or smuggling should subtract
an equal amount, the revenue from distilled
Liquors. after the present stock is consumed,
cannot be less than One Hundred Millions per
annum.
OF Tobacco We produced in 1890 no less
than AZ, vi pounds, beside importing
cigars, &C., to the value of S6,O79,I9. We
exported this staple to the value of sl5,9o1'34 I;
so that our exports of Tobacco cannot haze ex-
ceeded our imports by much over One Hundred
Millions of pounds and we must have con-
sumed at least Three Hundred Millions. Sup
posing Fifty Millions of this to escape the
payment Of duty, and the residue to pay an
average of forty cents per pound, the revenue
from this source alone will amount to another
500, 100000
These two items Of income will pay the in
terest on National Debt Of Three Thousand
Millions Of Dollars-(which is more than we
shall ever owe)-and afford a surplus for a Sink
ing Fund which will rapidly and certainly eat
up the principal OF the Debt, leaving ell other
sources of revenue for the support OF the Gov
eminent and the discharge OF its current
liabilities.
five pas our interest promptly and fully, we
shall be able to reduce it as the several loans
fall due to a uniform rate of not more than four
per cent, 50 that, if the Debt be $500, 900, the
ultimate interest will be Sl0O,OOO,OO only.
And this will be reduced by every subtraction
from the principal.
Let no one imagine therefore, that our Ma
,ional Debt Will in any case be repudiated. We
shall pay it, principal and interest, to the last
iarthing, even if We shonld not conclude, at the
close of the war, TO pay it off at once by gen.
eral subscription, and say no more about 1t.

The telegraph brings us brief accounts from
our special correspondents and others OF a
movement in force by Gen. Grant upon the
Southside Railroad. An infantry column, pre-
ceded by Gen. Sheridan's cavalry, started on
Wednesday, advancing over the well-known
roads south of Hatcher's Run, and encountering
no enemy until near the Boydton Plank-road.
At that point Griffin's Division Of the Fifth
Corps had sharp skirnish with the enemy ,
drove them mile or so, and held its ground.
1t is thought Sheridan may be far in advance OF
any point reached by the infantry, and even
that he NAV mean to strike the railroad 6eyond
BurkeSville. But the news thus far is too mea-
ger for comment.

State takes place on MONDAY. Those who 60
home to-day should make arrangements to re-
main there over Monday, and those who have
not thought of going at all should think OF it
now, while there is yet tme and act accordingly.
There may be some close voting for Congress
men and State Senators, and the Opposition
hope theymay carry district or two by default.
All the losses from ovcr-confidence will be on
our side for the Democracy never commit this

element. We learn that they hope to gain on
Monday by the smallness Of the vote on the
Union ticket. Every voter out Of the State,

not suffer defeat anywhere by negligence. DO
not permit even decreased majority to be re-
corded for want of attention to the first duty

The CNCIEEATI ASD. CovINGToN
BRIDGE.-In about two weeks, says the
Gdzette, a foot bridge for the use of the
workmen only win be thrown across the
river on wires, and about one month
from that time workmen will commence
stretching the wires for the main cable.
They are receiving the wire for the lat
ter as fast as possible. The main bridge
will be suspended on two wire cables,
each of which will be thirteen inches in
diameter The cables will be made by
stretching one wire across at q time,
until the whole number required are in
place, and then machines will be brought
into requisikion to twist themetog ether.
Tbs iron saddle plates, in whichAhe ca
bles will rest on the tops of the piers, are
now ready, and weigh nine tons each.
The span of the bridge is one thousand
and ffty-seven feet, being about two
hundred feet longer than the Niagara
Suspension Bridge, and longer than any
wire suspension bridge in the world.
About five hundred tons of wire will be
used in constructing il. The distance
from the foundation to the top of the
piers is two hundred feets and from the
floor of the bridge to the top of the
piers is one hundred and ten feet. The
floor of the bridge when the river Is at
its present stage, will be ninety feet
from the water, and viii be ten feet
higher in the center than at either pier.
The latter are built of solid masonry,
and measure at the foundation By fifty
feet, decreasing until reaching the top,
where the Measurement is seventy By
thirty-six feet. As many workmen as
can besused are employed, but, not.
withdrawing all this, the. bridge will not
be ready for public transit short of one
year The spans from the piers to the
anchorage are two hnadfed and eighty
feet.-LoHisUille Journal -, =.

ADvERr1s1EG. But few people really
understand the science or true principle
of advertising. When business is good,
trade lively, and everybody disposed TO
buy, and everybody that has anything to
sell ia doing well, then everybody adver-
tises, or at least those who have some-
thing to sell, seem more ready to adver-
tise. While on the other hand if busi-
ness and trade become little dull, and
people are not buying or disposed to
buy much, advertisers slack of, and
either curtail their advertising or with
draw it altogether. Therein is the great
mistake. When business is dull, Gdper-
tise the nsore-but by all means advertise.
That 10 the way to encourage trade and
to keep up your business. That, IN
short, is the true principle and secret OF
advertising. Those who advertise well
in dull times, win find it to pay better
than at any other time.5l Yet how few
understand it. o3 H aash
