Much of this was paid by CONSUME
ers who had no other capitalethan the
daily earnings of their hands. What
have they received in return for this
immense tax on their, earnings? Is
there a laboring man in the country.
who can tell? Is there any one else
who can tell? Tariffs are not only a
tax upon capital but tax upon toll as
well. They are a tax upon the con-
sumner, and if the poor are greater
consumers than are the rich, then tho
poor are burdened more, than the rich.
They are not a tax upon dollars, but a
tax upon heads and backs which must
be. clothed, and open mouths which
must be fed.-Ffee Press.

.-Grant in his inaugu7
raj pledged himself to the faithful ex-
ecution OF. the laws, whether they
suited him or not. He applied to his
Attorney General for, an interpreta-
ton of the eight hour law, and when
that officer informed him that q re-
duction of time, under the law, also
required, a corresponding odimunition
of compensation, Grant forthwith
issued the Executive proclamation
that there should be aao reduction of
compensation, but that ten hours pay
should be paid for eight hours work,
and that's the way he faithfully exc
cutes the laws. Although Grant has

ly refers questions to him for his opin-
ion,. he evidently regards the office
rather one of. ornament than of use.

The Wanderings of Thousand Dollars.

About year since hard working
and penuriops old clio man, Martin
Stiilen. living on Liberty street, near
| vine, hau occasion to tear his hair
over the disappearance of ten Treas
ury notes of one hundred dollars each
which, wrapped up in a piece of oil
silk, had been deposited for year or
more under the carpet of q bed room,
close to the wall. Having occasion
one day to examine his treasure, he
discovered the loss. He bad conceal
ed IL there unknown to his wife. who
did not enjoy his full confidence, it
seems, and who, ignorant of the dc.
post, had permitted children, dogs
and cats to use tho room in their
play. A few days since, when the
keen edge of Stillen's grief had been
partially blunted by time, he noticed
his little girl of four years, drawing
sundry slips of oil silk aud green pa
per from the stomach of big doll
and was soon in possession of green
paper enough to paste together into
eight hundred dollars. Only two
hundred dollars Of the original
amount had been destroyed or lost.
1t appeared, upon full investigation.
that a rat-terrier had drawn the
treasures out, and that the little girl,
after helping the brute to tear up
some of the bills, had used them in
stuffing her consumptive doll, fasten,
ing them in with several pins. In
the capacity of stufling the money
bad done service for year, until
luckily discovered by the happy Still
