Mr.. MYERs's WHISKY SysTEM.-In
further explanation of the bill which Con-
gresham Myers proposes to introduce for
reOryanizing the system of collecting the in
Iernal revenue tax on whiskcy, it can be
stated that he intends TO provide that the
lax shall be levied on the capacity of the
stills, all Of which he proposes shall be
placed under the control Of revenue inspec-
tors, who shall carry the keys of the build
NJ, except when the proprietors require
ithem for use. This system has been tho
3oughly tested in Scotland, and found to
operate bencticially 10 the Government and
10 the distillers. The practical effect will be
10 t.. 4 still 10 the amount Of its capacity
during the time it is worked. Thus, if a
s'il Is capable of producing 100 barrels 4
day, and is run for that length OF time, ii
VII be taxed 10 that amount.

Questions.

The ten-forty bonds we're made by law
payable in coin The words Sin coin"
were left out of the five-twcnty bonds If,
as the Radical politicians pretend, one
bond is as good as the other, why was the
distinction made between them? If man
draws two notes, and promises kind OF
payment in one that he does not in the
other, what should We think of the indi-
vidual who would say that there was no
difference intended between them ?
9 The interest Of the five tweaty bonds
was expressly made payable in geld. IF
the principal was SO payable, why was it
not stated with the interest?
3. Why should the Government nav
$50, 900, 900 annually to the national banks
for issuing blueback currency, when it
can Issue greenbacks for nothing, green
backs being the hest currency ?
4. Why should we pay 100 cents on a
dollar in gold for bond which cost the
holder but 40 cents in gold ?
5. Why shonld Boutwell,, the Secretary
of the Treasury, pay $l25 for hundred
dollar bond which on its face calls only for
Sl00
6. Why should we take up the debt bear
ing no interest, like the greenb cks, first,
leaving the bonds, which do bear heavy
interest, out?
Il. Why should we have far less amount
Of currency now out to do business than
required !, hen the So tn was not party
to the Union?
8. Why, if the debt is ever to be paid off,
should it be nearly three hundred million
dollars more than it was in April, 1865.
when the war closed.
8. Why should We keep M an army of
$4,000 men, at an expense Of $50, 900, 600
year, when an army Of 10000 men. at
$4,000, 600, would suffice
TO- Why should the tariff be laid upon
the measure of goods, and not upon their
price, by which the cheap article used by
the poor is charged precisely as much as
the article used by the rich
ii. How can specie payments ever be re
sumed, when there is an actual draw of
100000 900 year to Europe, in order to
pay the interest to European bond holders
upon the national debt7
II. Why should the American holder of
the bonds pay an income tax. and no. the
European holder? Why should not the
tax lie revived and 10th classes be made 10
pay?
l3 Why Should the Yankee fisherman
be allowed 10 have his salt free Of duty,
to cure his fish, while the Western packer
Of beef and pork is taxed twenty-four
cents hundred pounds for that purpose.
ID. Why should the people be taxed up
on their coffee. sugar, salt and other zee
essaries, when the holder Of bonds is taxed
nothing for his bond, Why should
discrimination be made in his favor against
poor soldier who is taxed two per cent.
upon his house and lot?- Cincinnati Dui}g

Where the Parties Stand.

The Ml,cauAee Ne,cs says, that there
is probably no political documcn, emana
ting from any local body. has caused as
extended notice as the platform Of the
Wisconsin democracy. Many If the most
prominent newspapers of the country have
pronounced it document of extraordinary
power, graphing and successfully dispos-
ing of all questions of great national i'm,
portaucc. The.contrast presented between
its bold and fearless declarations Of princi-
pies and the cowardly lodging of all polt
zeal issues BY the Republican platform, is
worthy Of particularattcntion.
In relation the rights of the several
states the Republican platform declares in
favor Of ''the just subordination Of local
and state authorities, and interests to the
authorities and interests of the nation. !"
leaving the people to interpret its manifest
y ambiguous meaning as best they may
The democratic convention, on the contra
rs, TOOK high position on this subject
position that is unmistakable It de-
clares that the unity Of the nation and
the permanence of repub lean institutions
depend upon the naturalization Of the Cor
ernment to the popular wiU, upon the cheer
f"t and implicit obedience ofrulers and peo-
pic to lac, upon the preservation to the
several states of the sacred and imperish-
able RICH! Of local self government, upon
the inalieuablc right of the citizen to life
and liberty, upon freedom OF speech ard of
the press, and upon a rigidIy honest and
economical application of the public rcye-
MUGS.
These doctrines can not fail to meet with
the concurrence of all patriotic men. To
disregard Of the will of the people and
OF law may be attributed all the evils OF
Republican rule. The constitution, the SUI
prelne law Of the land, has bee n persist
emily violated By the party in power, and
the interests Of the people have been made
subservent to the Will Of the Radical Con-
gross. 1t is the su5seryiency of the peo-
pie to the will of their servants whom they
elect that is advocated by the Republican
Platform and denounced by the democ>
racy
The contrast between the two parties is
forc:bly excnpifcd by their position on
this question. The Republicans seek to
subyert the principles upon which our gov
eminent was based by de,hroning law and
placing arbitrary power in its place the
servants Of an hour are encouraged to vio~
late tie fundamental law CT the land by
robbing the several states of their inherent
powers. The democracy seek to maintain
the dignity of law, recognizing the fact
that the pcrmanence of Republican inSti~
tutions demand it. The people of Wiscon-
sin will Place the two parties in these posi-
tions-the Democracy as the Law abiding,
constitutional party the Republicans as
the party claiming extraordinary powers
The battle is between submission to law on
the one hand and usurpatiou of power on
the other. May we not hope that the pco-
pie will reilly in defence Of liberty rcgua-
