Another Turn of the Tax screw.

The following telegram appears under
the above heading in the Democrat of
the 10th of November:
WAsH1SGroN, November 12.-The Internal
Revenue Bureau decides that farmers who go to
market and sell produce to be considered
brokers, and must pay special tax. Those who
sell at the place OF production are exempt from
paying special tax.
This telegram affords the Democrat
text from which it proceeds TO harp upon
the " growing tyranny of our tax sys-
tem," invented by our =" ingenious Yam
kee lawmakers" If our cotemporary
had taken care first to "post y himself
with regard to the meaning of the tele-
gram, he might have saved much time
and sweat, consumed in getting up his
balf column of sympathy for the " Re-
publican farmers of Oregon" A farmer
is not required to take out license
when he sells his own produce, and is
only compelled to take out a produce
brokers' license when he buys and sells
the produce of others. A farmer may
sell from his wagon, butter, eggs, onions,
lettuce, radishes, or other products of his
farm, without license; but if he buys
those articles from his neighbors, and
then re-sells them, by that act he be-
comes huckster, produce broker, and
is compelled to pay the special tax.
In answer to an inquiry upon this
subject, one of our merchants, Mr..
Julius Gradwohl, received the following
communication, which will, we hope,
satisfy and set at rest the anxiety Of our
contemporary for the Republican farm
ers ~:
| PORTLAND Nov. 81. 1869.
/ Mr.. julius GaADw eHI.-Str: In reply to your
letter of the 24th inst. have to say that when
a farmer sells only the produce of his own farm
from his wagon, he is not required to take out q
license. If he sells the produce of other farmers
| than his own, he is then produce broker, and
| must pay the special tax. Respectfully. etc,

CARE OF Doors AND SHoEs.-Boots
and shoes, if taken care of properly,
will generally last two or three times
longer than they usually do, and, at the
same time, fit the foot far more satisfac.
torily, and keep them dry and comforta-
BILE in wet and cold weather. The upper
leather should be kept soft and pliable,
while the soles need be hard, tough and
and impervious to water. The first thing
to be done with any pair Of new shoes
for farm use Is to set each one on a plat.
ter or an old dinner plate, and pour ON
boiled linseed oil sufficient to fill the ves-
sci to the upper edge of the soles. AL
low the leather to absorb as much Of the
oil as it will for eight hours. Linseed
oil should not be applied to the upper
leather, as it will soon become dry, rend-
ering the leather hard aud tough but if
the soles be saturated with this oil, it
will exclude dampness and enlarge the
pegs, SO that the soles will never get
loose from the upper leather. If the
shoes be sewed, the linseed oil will pres
erve the thread from rotting. Now, vet
the upper leather thoroughly when the
boots or shoes are to be put on the feet,
so that those parts which are tight mr.
render little, and thus adapt the sh. .
to the foot far more satisfactorily than
when the upper leather is not wet. Keep
them on the feet until the leather is
nearly dry. Then give the upper leather
thorough greasing with equal parts Of
tallow and lard, ,r with tallow and meats
foot oil. If shoes be treated in this man.
ner, and row of round headed nails be
driven around the edge of the soles,
they viii wear like copper, and always set
easy to the feet. Boots and shoes
should be treated as suggested, and worn
little several months before they are put
to daily service. This is true way to
save your shoe money.--Hcarh and
Home.

Who have read the paper weekly,
Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read of church affairs and prospects,
Read of news both home and foreign,
Read the essays and the poems.

Carefully corrected weekly.
Should you ask us why this dunning.

From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper-maker.
From the landlord, from the carrier,
From the man who taxes letters.

A message kind but firmly spoken,

Sad it is to hear such message,
When our funds are all exhausted,
When the last bank note has left us.
When the gold coin all has vanished,
Gone to pay the paper-maker,
Conc to pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone to pay the sable carrier.
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay Uncle samuel

Gone to pay the Western paper
Three and twenty hundred dollars!
Sad it is to turn our ledger,
Turn and see what sums are due us,
Due for volumes long since ended.
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due for years of toilsone labor,
Due in spite our constant eunning,
Due in sums from two TO twenty.
Would you lift burden from us,
Would drive spectre from you?
Would you taste pleasant slumser
Would you have quiet conscience?
Would you read paper PAID FOR?

Was observed by the citizens of our beau
tiful little village in good old New Eng
land style. Labor was generally sus-
pended, we repaired to the sanctuary and
listened to a very appropriate discourse

A SERIES OF RELIGIOUS MEETINGS
the past week by the pastor of the VI. E.
Church at this place. The congrega-
tions have been small, owing to the
storms of wind and rain yet we think
some good has been accomplished. There
have been no conversions or accessions
to the church, yet the membership seem
to manifest more zeal and greater de-
gree of solemnity than usual seems to
pervade the congregations. We under
stand that the pastor of the NJ. f.
Church, South, will commence a pro-
traeted meeting next Sunday at their
usual place of worship, in this place.

are unable to read may see the awful
sight for themselves negro and China
man, with representatives OF other nations,

The Herald sees in this frightful picture
forecast OF what the Democratic
party is coming to under the operations
of the Fifteenth Amendment, and in his
terror calls on Democrats everywhere to
procure copies and post them where
they can be seen by the people," To the
uninitiated, the ignorant portion of the
Democratic party, this lather and foam
may so down, but people who read and
keep themselves posted in the many
tricks of trade will only see in-all
this "big puff for Harper-a new
dodge to increase the already heavy cir
culation of that journal. But the De-

the suggestion of the Herald. BY all
