they will not elect him, nor will they beat

A new system of defrauding the reve-
nue. has been discovered in practice all
over the country. The stamps used are
pasted on with rye-meal paste. or other
ingredient which does not adhere too
strongly to allow the stamp to be taken
off without tearing. In this way, the
same stamp has been used to cover seve-
raj barrels of spirits, and the same rule
is applied to tobacco and cigar r-boxes.
The perpetrators of these frauds are, in

American citizens abroad. If they go
abroad to enjoy foreign institutions, let
them tuke the bitter with the sweet and
settle the account for themselves. If they
go for the sole purpose of ''skinning''
people less shrewd than themselves, let
them take the consequences. We do not
see the wisdom of encouraging our citi-
zens to go abroad for the purpose of get
ting rich without running any risks.
They seem determined to get rich at all
events, by trumping up claims for the
United States to extort, either by nego-
tiation or by the force of gunpowder.
When American citizens are abused as
to their personal liberty, let the Govern
ment see to it; but the true way with nii
claims is tie short wny. to wit: if they
run risks for the chance of large profits
let them abide the result. The whole
claim business is one of unmitigated ras-
Times.

BILE, and has put stayers- at-home in the
very best of spirits.
