LOOK TO THE SrAMrs.--At the
present session Of the United States
Court no less than fifty of our most
respectable retailers arc indicted for
selling sardincs, cosmetics, perfumcry,
etc., OF foreign importation, without n
revenue stamp. The impression pre-
walls generally amongst storekcepcrs
that because these articles have al-
ready paid mn import duty, and in
gold, that they are relieved from
further taxation, but it is not so |;
such articles, according to tho inter-
nal revenue laws, require stamp
and tho vendor is liable to fine Of
fifty dollars for each violation. There
arc now several United States detec-
tivos regularly commissioned, who
trado with tho ignorant and unwary,
md wo would therefore advise those
who offer such articles for sale to look
to their stamps. - Charleston lKcycu,y. .

Blocking tho Game.

so called Constitutional Amendment,
the lForhl says "a
"By defeating it. we can block the
Republican game of demonstrations
The Reconstruction act provides that
when such Constitution shall have been
submitted to Congress for examination
and approval, and Congress sl'a!! have
approved tho same, and when said
State, by vote Of its Legislature elect

adopted the amendment to the Consti.

The Lerni.render Act

The Republican PASSED this law, which
repudiated all contracts made before il in
gold, and authorized their payment in de-
preciated paper money. worth only thirty,
or forty, or City cents on the dollar The
people acquiesced and submitted to this
virtual repudiati m and coB6scstion, and
they adapted their business to that bass.
Now, when continuance OF this legal-ten-
der system will benefit the people, by pay
ing off the bondholders in the same curren-
cy in which the debt was createl, they are
opposed TO it. Having passed the act when
it was seriously detrimental to the interests
of tae country, they arc now for repeating
it, when its repeal ould work rnuch injury
to the laboring class. Their policy is to
contract to pay, and expand to borrow. They
favored lega>tenders to pay gold debt in
1924 5, but now they reverse it, and
want legaltcnder debts paid in gold. The
people will hardly accommodate them.
