Tobacco.

No one cause contributes more to
nervous disease than the use of to-
bacco. Chewing affects the vocal
organs by producing congestion Of

easily be told by his impaired voice.
1t produces leanness of the body,
and exhauts early the vital functions.

Cobb the Veteran Member-His Views
Why he is Popular.

Amasa Cobb, this day elected TO
serve fourth term in Congress from
the Third District of Wisconsin, is
now the veteran member from his
State, and, except E. b. Washburn
elect for his fifth term, is the oldest
member OF the North west. And as
it is more than likely that Washburn
will receive from Grant Cabinet or
Foreign appointment, Mr.. Cobb will
quite surely succeed to the veterancy
for the North west, and be entitled to
the leadership Of all business Of gem
eral interest to this large section of
the American Union. For these rea-
sons Cobb's nomination was slightly
opposed in certain quarters. In the
present Congress be is a member of
the committee on claims, which is u
most important trust and one in
which only men of known integrity
and uprightness are placed. He is
on the Committee on Public Builds
ings and Grounds. Aa party man,
though up to 1860 rather conserva-
tive republican, he has since been u
radical of the school of Wilson and
Stevens We consider his financial
views hitherto rather erratic, though
erring in the direction of the tax
paying masses rather than on the
side OF the rich, which fact suggests
forgiveness. Ii man errs at all let
it be against capital and not against
labor, yet SO nicely balanced are the
creditor and debtor interests that to
oppose either is destructive to both.
Upon the matter of raising public
revenue, Cobb represents the debtor
class in favoring the taxation of lux
uries chiefly for raising the national
revenues. He would keep the shout
ders OF working people free from the
blrthens Of taxation--if possible SO
free that taxation shall not be felt by
them as any weight at all. Ofcourse
Mr.. Cobb opposes the late democrat
ic party policy of equal taxation, OF
placing weights upon the shoulders
OF those who produce the necessarie'
Of life or By taxing their lands anC
personal effects Mr.. Cobb also In.

understand il, the interest and prin-
cipal payable in gold. But we have
probably heard the last Of these ii
nance issues, as every question rola
ting thereto will be settled under tn
; new administration.
The marked public regard for Cob
arises from the confidence which h,
inspires. Governed by his own con
victions of right and duty, the PEG
pie are attarcted and Inspired there
by, nobody doubling that every wore

fountain. During the late canvass
his disputing competitors, Passmor
and Strong, were at least two TO on

Will Prices Go Down =?

For reasons neither party has dis
cussed the question which appears at
the head Of this article, though it is
as clear as the sun that, if Grant is
elected prices will fall because the
public confidence will soon be perfect
ii the government ability and fdeli>
~ toward the national creditors, and
"a a consequence gold and currency
will approximate an even value, dol
lar for dollar. And with the rise of
public confidence in greenbacks and
currency, gold will 60 down, perhaps
slowly but surely, and the prices of
all yaluables will follow-land and
labor to be tho last to drop
80 they were the last to rise. No
holder of public securities, whether
in the form Of bonds or grecnbacks,
will doubleither the ability ofgovern
ment to pay every dollar Of debt, or
the public intention to pay to the ut
termost exactly according to con-
tract.
But there are many who doubt tho
expediency of so managing affairs as
TO bring down gold to a,par rate with
paper, believing that,they would saf-
fer loss by it. The only loss can be
to those who are ia debt. But such
have been advised again and again
to avoid debt making and escape old
debts by paying them so that none
can complain. Everybody has
known from the first that the repub-
lican party is a party Of action and
fidelity.
Very true, had the democratic pol
ley prevailed by Seymour's election
aud the public debt been paid off i
greenbacks, the paymen: OF old DEBT
must have followed rs a trifing mat
ter with greenbaoks worth only tel
cents on The dollar \ bushoi Of pc
tatoes would have paid at least fix
dollars Of old debts, and o bushel o
wheat ten dollars But then what o
merchandise and other life supports
These must have risen ten fold, so tha
all would still curse the day OF democ
racy and Reputation.
