Ofthe 800 millions required it is shown that
$50 millions may be confidently relied upon
from the tariff, leaving ITO millions to be de-
rived from other forms of taxation. Mr..
Wells believes in the existing tariff and will
hear of no considerable reduction Of the rev.
enue coming from this source. He reasons
in this way: f...
III determining, moreover, for the future
what shall be the average rate of the tariff il
is important to bear in mind that the practi-
cal question presented is not so much what
the respective advocates of free trade and
protection may desire, or what abstract econ
omic science may teach, utrdther tohdt under
ecisting circumstances is most erpedient.
And viewed in this light it seems certain,
that with all its Objectionable features, we
have as yet devised no system. as whole,
which operates with so much of certainty aud
equahty as the system of taxation levied
through the tariff In proof of this, we have
only 10 Gle IN general the recognized failure
to collect the internal revenue; and. in par
ticular. the wide discrepancy in the receipts
OF the income tax from different sections of
the country-a single district in the State OF
New York having paid during the last fiscal
year nearly five and half millions ($5 496, ,233)
to the credit of this account, while the whole
income tax collected from the eleven States
OF Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, South Caroli-
ma, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida
during the same period was only $4,000, 0,931.34
On the other hand, it is not at all probable
that the amount indirectly paid by the people
of these same States for the same period
through their voluntary consumption of arti-
cles taxed under the tariff, such as tea coffee,
sugar, spices silks, &c, was any less, proper
tionately, than that levied and collected
through the same agencies in other sections
OF the country. t.
The ITO millions tc be raised from other
sources than the tariff Mr.. Wells thinks it
possible to collect, and at the same time to re-
move nearly all of what are understood to De
industrial taxes and the tax upon raw cotton.
Counting up the whole list of estimates and
recommendations, the result is exhibited in
the following table:

Revenue Report of Commission oner Wells.
We have previously spoken in terms of high
commendation of the report of David A,
Wells, special commissioner of the revenue,
There can perhaps be no better test of the
value of this document than the manner in
which it is received by members of the tive
political parties. Party feeling runs SO high
at this time that it might be doubted if Ste
vens and Brooks or Sumner and Hendricks
could by any means reach coincident conclu-
sions upon any matter less capable of exact
determination than the existence Of Washing
ton as an historical character. Yet members
of both parties quote Mr.. Wells facts and fig
ures with equal confidence. and no more think
of disputing him than good wife would
think of disputing the almanac. Besides the
accuracy and lueidity which characterize the
report, it contains so large an amount of
financial and statistical information and phi
losophy which is absolutely flesh, and SO
much that is calculated to soothe the excite
ment of the public mind on monetary affairs,
that its perusal cannot fail to give great salts
faction to middle aged gentlemen of moder,
ate means who have grown nervous over the
situation. ,

urify the Blood.

oAAy tho OASSk
1t is conceded by the most eminent
medical men, that the blood is the
fruitful parent of disease, by serving
as a vehicle through which noxious
substances contaminate the flesh by
absorption.
The fGtid contents of the bowels, if
long retained by constipation, are of
ten taken up by the veins or absorb
ents. Various morbid products, such
as pus and saines of unhealthy ulcers,
occasionally find their way into the
blood vessels, which result in seated
cases of Scrofula or Kings Evil, Ery-
sipelas, Salt Rheum, Ulcers, Eruptive
and Cutaneous Diseases of the Skin,
Enlargement of the Glands, Pains in
the Head, Sides and back, St. Vitus'
Dance, Pleurisy, Dizziness, Tumors,
Gripping and Pains, &c, all of which
diseases readily yield to the powerful
influence of DIR. Roback's Blood Puri
fer, which searches out all the vile hu
mOrs and distempers, leaving the blood
in pure and healthy condition.
The many valuable ingredients of
which the Blood Purifier is composed
being adapted to each other strictly
according to the laws of chemical SCI
ence, makes it one Of the most valua-
BILE alternatives and system renovators
of the present age, and its success as
great medicine must increase so long
as disease continues to vex the soul of
man.

Gen Walkers Letter.

Uou w dlhOl 1OtCois
We publish elsewhere an interesting
letter from this gentleman. On the
question of suffrage We think the
General takes very untenable ground
in fact, jumps at conclusions which
q longer residence, under other cir
will cause him to abandon.
Perhaps he mistakes the sbsequious-
ness of the overawed rebel for patri-
otism. 1t may seem hard that the
hitherto dominant race has been COM
PEELED to accept political equality with
their former slaves; but it is no worse
position than better men have been
placed in. We feel sure they will
come out better citizens, in every
respect, after having learned this
lesson.

istence miserable. In this condition
| had tired many physicians and
many remedies, but all to no purpose.
At last / consulted DIR. Foster. He

now only two days since L began
