These men still appear to think that the
farmers they represent are willing, and
even anxious, to pay tax of 81 per cent
on the nails in his horse-shoes, tax of so
per cent on his plow, 81 per cent. on his
chains, So per cent on his sheets, and ESQ
per cent. on his blankets. They appear 10
think it is still his desire TO pay tax of
47 per cent. on his coffee. rs per cent. on
his tea, and 20 per cent. on his sugar,
that he relishes his food seasoned with salt
taxed 100 per cent, pepper taxed 297 per
cent, and spice 379 per cent.
1t is the opinion Of many men who have
not been sent to Congress, that the farm
ers of the west do not particularly desire
TO be ridden to death at that rate, espe-
cially when instead Of the Government re-
ceiyirg the extortion TO defray expenses Of
the war, as it is often claimed, it is mostly
sacrificed for the cause Of Protection, and
goes into the pockets of eastern capitalists.
The coming contest will virtually settle
this question. If the people are SATISFIED
with the way they have been represent
ed'' they will return the same men, or
others holding the same views on these
questions. or who can be handled as easily
by eastern demagogues and capitalists.
But if they feel the burdens which are I'M
necessarily imposed upon them, they will
send men opposed to such steals, and men
who can be relied on to represent them
truly and faithfully.
We want the people to look into this
matter and see what is to their interest.
Do not take our word or opinion about it,
but study it yourselves, and then when
you have arrived at conclusion, attend
the school district meetings, town caucus
es and county conventions, and through
them express your views, and make your
wishes respected, and your power felt.
1t is all very well to reward soldiers
and to send up our pet orators to be heard
in the magnificent halls of the nation
but as soon as we find we are loosing by
it we should cast about US to see if VIZ
cannot do better. What we want to com
pose the next Congress is men of goo(
common sense" an article which has
not lately cut much figure in the nationa
halls of legislation. We can very well
and very profitably dispense with a little
style, fuss and feathers for sprinkling o
that rare commodity, good, sound, common
sense.

great disorder. The doctor was very
much surprised at this, and took up his
stethoscope to signal a new point OF attack
but was unable 10 discover anything more
than a buzzing noise as though his patient
were a beehive He became very much
alarmed, and thinking something must be
done quickly, he applied large blister to
the patients back; but the blister being
in the conspiracy too, refused to draw,
and proceeded to push the patient out OF
bed and across the room, and would have
pushed him out at the door had not the
doctor applied an opposing blister in front,
and the two acting in opposite directions
lifted the patient back in bed again.
| A counsel of doctors was called imme-

tons was, they decided to accept the reso
lutions and have their diplomas registered

TIE Pill REvoLT.- The various de-
nominations of pills, plasters, and pur-
gatives, recently held convention and
passed resolutions to the effect, that unless
the doctors comply with the law Of last
winter, requiring them to have their med
ical diplomas and certificates registered in
the Office of the Register OF deeds, they
would no. longer serve them in a curative
capacity.
The doctors became highly offended at
this action of the nostrums, and denounced
the resolutions as insolent and aggressive,
and proceeded to chastise the pills by mix
ing quinine and quicksilver with them, and
in several instances where the pills were
exceedingly obstinate, they mixed strych-
nine with them. But the pills laid low
and said nothing, and the doctors thought
they bad triumphcd.
Shortly after this little disagreement one
Of the doctors was called on for medical aid
and prescribed eight pills, the same he
had recently chastised with qulnine and
quicksilver, and gave them orders to pro-
coed to the stomach and ascertain what
the matter was and make out a report !
So the pills proceeded on their way all 81
lent and in single file, like convicts to
prison. When they reached their destina-
ton, they soon made arrangements with
the stomach to enter into the conspiracy.
So the stomach closed all its doors and
blinded the windows,and prepared itself
for a siege by the doctor. The doctor
waited "a hours and not receiving any re-
port from the pills, sent reinforce
ment of four more; but after knocking
and receiving no answer, they retreated in.

@ Congress has finally adjourned,
and the campaign for the election of mem
bers f6f new Congress, may be consider
ed as fairly begun, for the present mem
bers of Congress, even where not seeking
to be returned, will figure extensively in
deciding who is to be their successors.
The present Congress is largely made up
of professional men, Lawyers and militia
ry men-the former often receiving the
position on account of their oritorial abili.
ty and success in their profession, and the
latter as a reward for the services thew
have rendered their country, without any
particular reference in either case to theiI
fitness as lawmakers. The thorough prac
teal business men have been the exception
instead of the rule.
The work of this body Of men has nat
urally not been exactly what the people
wanted. Our western men have apparent
ly been controlled by the eastern members
and what was thought to be for the inter.
est of the east vas Immediately decided to
be for the interest Of the whole country.
In the face. of loud calls for q reduction OF
taxes, and the repeal of the enormous tar
ills, they have refused to render the relief
asked for, and have continued to tax the
people in time of peace, with burdens
only justiiable in time of war. In the
language of cotemporary, /" it was diff
cult to make these representatives be-
lieve the people did not delight in high
taxes, aud that business men were not
anxious to pay ten or twelve per cent. for
money to pay taxes so that government
could pay fifteen or twenty per cent pre-
MUM for bonds drawing per cent in
