Whtskey VS.. Patriotism.

Mr.. VAN WYcK's report on the whiskey
frauds furnishes some striking illustrations
of the effects Of oppressive taxation on the
morals and the productive interests of q
people. Wherever the tax has been col
lected, and the provisions of the law rigidly
enforced, production has entirely ceased.
In districts where bribery has closed the
eyes of the inspectors, the number of dis
tilleries has increased some eight or ten
thousand per cent. In both cases the rev.
enue is insufficient to defray the cost of its
collection. Not more than one-eighth of
the whiskey manufactured pays any tax at
all, and the market price generally rules
below the tax. Tariff man as he is, Mr..
VAN WICK is forced to the conclusion that
it is indispensable that the tax should be
reduced. He is compelled to admit that,
while rsdicalism is great principle, whis-
key is still greater one; and that, in con-
test between the two, the former is no where.
Patriotism is all very well in its way; but
when patriotism demands that people pay
two hundred millions year for the privi-
lege of buying their liquor, patriotism goes
too far, and will probably find it conve-
nient, in view of the coming elections, to
modify its views on the liquor question.

raise his crop, The fellahs work for low wages
or the use of small piece of land, and when
the Vicerot is in a hurry or is short OF hands,
he orders regiment into the feld-the cotton
field that is-to pick. AS he makes taxes him.
self, he is not compelled to work two days In
the week for the internal revenue, and thereby
enjoys delightful immunity. 1t is not strange
that Egyptian cotton, under such system,
can compete with the American staple. Before
the war it was not uncommon to see Bedouin
Arabs, in the shadow Of the pyramids, clothed
in American cotton. A Louisiana paper,
commenting upon these facts, suggests that,
should our planters continue in the old way OF
raising cotton, it may not be the most improba-
BILE thing in the future to see freedmen In the
Mississippi Valley clothed in Egyptian fabrics.
-Ofice-seehers are remarkable people. They
always keep lookout ahead, and in order to
be ready for anything that may turn up, they
are making Up to Senator Wade, who may, in
possible contingency, become President.
Already the political newspapers controlled by
these restless people are running over with
lavish praise. They say that Senator Wade re-
sembles the late President Jared Sparks in his
rural, unaffected simplicity; Daniel Webster in
oratory and high statesmanship, and George
Washington in dignity and disinterested pa
triotism.
"A Montreal paper tells a good story Of the
