Editors. of tie IalteLIgencer: I.
Gents :-SsbfE attention Iein athia mo-
Il5ent allied to an article in your issue
Of Monday the d d inst, HomS gentle
man OF Easton, OF PennsY Hania, who
processes to have made "a calculation
from reliable sources, that if the tax on
whisky was only 81, that the govern
ment would derive IS, 900 day from
the manufacture of whisky within a
circle of fifteen miles around Easton,
whereas the tax being so high as to pre-
vent the manufacture of the article,
the goHernment sustains a loss to that
amount per day. Now, sirs, If that be
true, if indeed that a circle of fifteen
miles around Easton is capable of yield
ing revenue of S., 600 per day, and the
government deprived of such q large
amount of revenues by unYise legisla~
ton, is it not time that an enquiry be
made, and the remedy applied. Now,
let us look the thing fairly In the face;
5000 would be the tax on 5000 gallons
of whisky. That 5000 gallons would
make "a, 600 people drunk attthe mode
rate estimate of5one pint4to the man,
and suppose. each man, is capable OF
earning 200 per day, which, II think
Is not too high an estimate,) and we
ind that the circle of fifteen miles has
thus deprived the government of 128,00O
dollars worth of labor. Add to this one
VlolaGlon otsthe law to every twenty
five persons made drunk, (and. we
think this estimate within the bounds
of ,experience,) and we have, in all
probability, $3.50, 900 indictments to be
investigated in court, and here we are
not posted as to what it will cost the
commonwealth to try each case, butin-
Guiding loss of time, DC, we will put It
down to the very low sum of ten dol
lars, and we have Se5, 100000. Add to
this, two dollars per day for at. least
$50, 900 retailers, and we have $500, OOC
more, to say nothing of the misery and
woe entaiIed on widows, orphans,
wives and families by brutal, drunken
husbands and fathers. Thus we find,
in order to gain from the manufacture
of whisky $1,000, it will cost the people
at a fair low estimate, 81, 1928, 900; is il
not high time then for the people toFbe-
gin to make proper calculations.
Respectfully submitted by
A LooKER-oN.

WE said some time ago that we were
afraid that none of the rebels would
execute their threat of emigrating to
Brazil. It now appears that Wade
Hampton, who was the foremost:of all
those rebel emigrants, and who was to
lead to Brazil the colony of heroes, who
could not endure the humiliation of re-
naming in this land has abandoned
the idea of expatriating himself, and
advises his comrades to remain inithis
country, take the oath of allegiance,
and elect as many conspicuous rebels
to office as they can. His language
plainly indicates that he would like to
be chosen. He means to stay and an
noy us as much as possible. We shall
be surprised if hundred rebels emf
CRATE to Brazil. They prefer to take
their chances under this tyrannical go
vernment. - 4 : = - n =

Local News Concerning the Crops

YLCmrespORd ence Pittsba.rg Commercially
Co., o, Aug. 8.-Fruit and
other items of interest, picked up dur
ing little trip through Wayne, Rich
mond, Knox and Muskingum counties,
Ohio, may find place in your paper.
While in Knox county I saw some very
fine apples, and ate some pears. Farm
ers told me that they chad lots of cher
ries" there this season, and expect n
fair crop of fall fruit. Muskingum
county furnished me at every meal
with excellent peaches and plums. The
'keepers of the vineyards" represented
the grape (that choicest of fruits,) as
abundant, but said, "if it didn't quit
raining, they would more than halt
spoil. Rain is indeed plenty-eight
and "a half inches last, month, to one
and half same month last year. I
never seen the streams so universally
swOllen'as they are now through those
counties.
Going from Newark through Mount
Vernon to Mansfield you would sup
pose nothing was planted but co77l-it
ers say they never saw such crops OF
hay and barley as they had, but much
of both was spoiled by the heavy rains.
If it keeps this way, they say, clover
will never seed. There is no fruit in
Wayne. s.~- .rrr,...=-
JEFFERSON, Co. o., Aug. S.-The crops
in this county, so far as I am able to
learn from actual observations and
from farmers in different sections, are
about as follows; Oats are better than
for some time. Coma very large crop,
more so than for number Of years
back, and roasting ears are selling in
the. market at 100000 per dozen. Rye
and Barley look excellent. Some APP
Prehension is felt in regard to potatoes.
1t is feared that the wet weather will
rot them. Hay is generally good, so
much SO that farmers are .hauling,it to
town at 50 per ton. Wool is not coming
in; the grice is ranging from 60 to 75C
per pound. There has been but one
sale that could learn of, and that was
some choice f1eeces.at rs cents. Farm
ers, however, are disposed to hold, in
expectation of an advance. I have

Cross CREEK VILLAGE, WASHINGTON
COUNTY, Pa, Aug. IA few words if
you please in regard to the crops in this
vicinity. The wheat crop was never
better. Oats, an average crop. The
an extraordinary yield, with the eXcep-
ton of upland fields. Spring barley is
rather a light crop. Fall barley is good.
There will be few grapes, as the frost
killed them early in the spring. Pota-
toes make fine appearance, but owing
to the frequent rains, fears are enter
tanned that the rot may setin. We have
no apples, but we have plenty of wool.
All we ask is one dollar per pound, and
this we are bound, to have, The harvest
is over, and we say-no more.
