terminates in consumption. Hassons Com
pound Syrup Of Tar is the best and most
reliable article known for the cure of coughs
colds, hoarsness, chronic, catarrhs, sore
throat, asthma, and all diseases of the
throat and lungs. No family should be
without it. Price so cents. Sold ~ II. H.

Thursday evening, having found nine in
dictments, one for larceny, one for obstruct-

pointed to visit the Almshouse, and made
a report stating that it was well managed
and in excellent condition.

traverser Biddle and Wilson for State.
State VS.. Samuel Anderson. Indicted
for keeping a disorderly house. Plea of

''hardly out of their frocks.'' Judgment of
guilty, and sentenced to pay fine of $50
and costs in each Of two cases, the lowest
allowed by law, and license suppressed
The Court held the remaining case under

thus far disposed of:
Isaac Browns Lessee, VS.. John J. Heck

A Story with a Moral.

A young man, paying special atten-
ton to young lady, met with the
following incident during one of his
visits:
Being invited into the parlOr tOaWaii
the lady's appearance, he entertained
himself as best he might for some
time, and was becoming very weary,
when little girl about Eve years old
slipped in and began to converse with
him.
"I can always tell" said she, "wheH
you are coming to our house"
/ "You can" he replied, "and how
do you tell it2'
"Why, when you are going to be
here, sister begins to sing and gel
good, she gives me cake and pie, and
anything 1 want, and she sings SC
sweetly VIXEN you are here, and when
speak to her she smiles SO pleasant
Ily. 1 wish you would stay here al
the while, then [ would have a good
time. But when you go of, sister il
not so good. She gets mad, and if ]
ask her anything, she slaps and bang:
me about"
This was poser for the young
man.
"Fools and children tell the truth, ;
quoted he, and taking his hat, he left
and returned no more.
Moral-PersOus wishing their i'll
natured daughters married, should
keep their small children out Of the
parlor when strangers are there.

Get on the SOrrel Horse

Col. John VI. Connell is the Penn.
oeratic and Col. Frank B. Pond the
Republican candidate for Attorney
General of Ohio. Apropos Of which
the Columbus journal tells the fol-
lowing very suggestive story:
While in the three months service,
Col. Connell rode sOrrel horse and
Lieut.. Col. Pond a white horse. At
the close Of the three months service
an effort was made to re-enlist the
men of the regiment. The regiment
was formed one day at some town in
Virginia, and a letter from the Gov
ernor was read by Col. COnnell, ask
ing that the regiment be re-enlisted,
The Colonel made a speech on the
subject, and asked all his men who
would re-enlist to step to the front,
Not a man moved. COnnell, discour-
aged, asked Pond to talk to the boys.
Col. Pond talked N his way, and was
in the act Of putting the proposition
in regard to stepping to the front,
when tall specimen Of the true blue,
sang out, ''Col. Pond, you get ON the
sorrel horse, and we will go" This
was received with shouts of approval,
Comment unnecessary.

INTERNAL TAXES.

Now, upon this point, claim that the Re
publican party has adopted a system of in'
tsTnal taxes as well distribHted-as light up
on labor and the necessary productions o.
life, as it is possible to do. Examine care
fully the items of this taxation, rs read il
from official documents and think how else
these large sums can he raised Cigars and
tobacco yielded MS, last year ending June 80

law, last winter. they will Weld this fsca
year twenty-five millions Whisky and beel
yielded S2l ,7O7, 80. This 6seal year they
will yield S46, 900, 600.
Remember that we have swept out of ex.
istence all other taxes On mannfactures-al
the taxe1 that during the war, bore upor
your domestic industry; and the only taxes
now remaining, besides the whisky and tn
baceO tax, are the following:
General receipts of railroads. Sc. Sc, go, 90

Fines, penalties, a.. 1,256,ss
Stamps 1882, ,25
These are the existing leSies, and as 1t hal
been my pleasant duty TO aid in the repeal o
many war taxes, I hope within Two years TO sei
the way clear to repeal the whole Of these inter
teFnal taxes except those on whisky, tobacco
and incomes. These three heads Of taxation
with duties on imports, will be amply sufticien
TO meet our public expenditures, eeOnomieall!
administered, and provide for the sure anI
speedy reduction of the public debt.
I believe, my fellow-citizens, that many OF N
will live to see this aeoomDljShed, uuu that We

country to the generation now rapidly pressing

Our surplus revenue will be mainly
in gold, and with the gold We pur-
chase our bonds at a discount, and
thus save instead of lose in the pres

When these bonds reach par in

of honor or public faith, fund the
debt, and thus largely reduce the in.

the debt is practically reduced one
sixth. Like many tasks our people
have brayely met and overcome, We
are destined to accomplish, for the
third time in our national history, a
full aud honorable payment Of 4 great
public debt by the generation that
contracted it. This is the marvel of
Europe. In conversation with Mr..

| it the hest form of paper currency, is
to make it convertible into gold at
tho pleasure of the holder. | will
not now discuss the currency question
further, as you will naturally expect
me TO show you how we are raising
the large sums necessary for national
Expenses, and this brings me to the
question Of
TAXATION.
The United States Government is
practically precluded from levyiug
direct levies or taxes on land acquir-
ed property, by provision of the
Constitution, which requires these
levies to be apportioned among the
States according to representation
Such levies would bankrupt the new
or Western States, and be insignii-
cant in the East. Therefore, all or
nearly all United States taxes are in
direct, such as exeises, imports, &c.
OF these levies there are too great
divisions ns-taxes on imported goods.
Now it is conceded that a large
amount of them should be on
importsd goods, as this levy
is easier and cheaper to collect,
is more certain, and is payable in
gold, which is requisite for our pub
lie debt Formerly, in levying these
levies a great deal of learning was
wasted in drawing distinctions be-
tween revenue duties and protective
duties; but now our admitted wants
for revenue arc so great that the du-
ties complained of are chiefly the duties lev
led for revenue only, and not in any way
for protection.
The duties on sngar, ter and coffee are
purely revenLe duties. They yield on sugar
S2s, 600, 600; tea, Ss, $50, 900; coffee, S.
63T, 900. Now, these duties we would all
I fTise see repealed, II we could hnd some
way TO make up the amount, and We hope TO
reduce them. As these articles are not the
productions of the country, it is simple fool
ishneSs to call them protective duties in the
interest of New Englani, as the State Dem
Ocratic Convention did. The great body Of
the other duties on imported goods are levied
upon articles OF luxury consumed By the
rich. Tins rs II specimen, ! will give you
the revenue derived, last year, from some OF
these articles:
The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-09-10

Nine-tenths of all the manufactures of
wool, cotton, fax, paper, &, imported into
the United States, are of the finer and more
expensive qualities, consumed by the rich,
while the great body of fabrics for home
consumption is produced here, and now pays
no tax whatever. Our gold revenue from
imported goods-say Sl7O, 900, OOO-is more
than enough to pay the interest Of debt
and for the reduction Of the principal, and
will enable us, next winter, to revise the
tariff and throw off some Of the most bur
densome levies This will leave us to pro-
vide for the most of our current expenses
