newspapers. In Florence eleven daily
napers are now issued. and other cities

JOHN STUART MILL is no friend Ofthe
system of game preserving i'll England.
In late speech before the National
Reform Union in London, he said:
The landlords would get on much
better with the laborers were it not for
the a,.curSed subject of game. Such
Was the state of feeling that had taken

subject OF game that he could not con-

SOME idea of the stupendous frauds
prac;iced in whisky may be reached by
estimating the annual product at co.
10000 gallous-which is under rather
than above the mark. If toe taxes
were collected on the whole, the product
would be $40, 100000. But let one
fourth escape the law, and over $780,
900. OUO would be obtained. Last year
whisky yielded only $4,000, 900, with
the prospect ofbeiug one-thITd less this
year, the receipts the last two months
having been ut the rate of SlO, 600, OGO

TO the result of fraudulent evasion of
the tax i'm posed and.partly the result of
le-seued production in consequence of
tue unequal operation of the tax law;
hut either way it works injuriOusly on
honest taxpayers, and greatly deranges
business. If Congress should have any
spnr. time on their hands they could not
