The Senate of the United States, by tie vote.
refused to abandon the income tax, but chose
rather to dispense with the tax on gross receipts
Let us see how this policy results in the case of
Commodore Vanderbilt, the great railroad mo-
nopolist of New York. The Commodore's in
come was returned for last year at 10 900, upon
which he pays per cent, or q, 900. He is the
owner Of majority of the stock of the New
York Central railroad, OF which he is the pres
ident. The gross receipts of the road for the
past year were eighteen millions Of dollars Irpon
this sum the company paid 2; per cent. tax.
which is $4,000. Surprising the Commodore
TO be the owner Of one-half the stock of the
road. his share of the tax would amount to
$4,000, every dollar OF which would go into the
Treasury; whereas, the 81 900 which he paws as
income tax is more than half absorbed by ex-
penses Of collection The result to the Treas
ury Is that il loses s225,O00 of revenue all of
which it would realize, and retains 80 900, half
of which would 60 into the pockets of officials.
This is the way that NE Senate of the United
States IEnposes to relieve the people of the bur
dens of TAXATION, but il looks very much like re-
lievIng eoTPorafiOES.

a Many of the members of the Senate and
House OF Representatives in the debate on the
TAX and Tariff bill have talked about tea,
sugar, and coffee as though they were Iuxuries
and could as well be dispensed with as not. We
tell these gentlemen that the working people of
America are not TO be fed upon soup as are the
poor laborers in foreign countries, and the
sooner they begin to realize this fact the better
for all concerned. Tea, sugar, and coffee
have become and are necessities in the
family Of the laboring classes of America.
and viii remain 80. The party that seeks
TO deprive them of the use Of these articles
by voting to tar them, and thus placing
them beyond their reach, will be wiser when it
Is too late. Every old housewife when she goes
to the grocery to buy her "quarter of tea" and
has to pay twenty cents a pound for it more
than she would have to pay If it was not taxed.
viii remember to remind her husband. when
voting time comes, who it was and OF what
party, that levied the tax; and so also of coffee
and sugar. All these articles should be put
upon the free list, and the masses of the people
VIII not rest until this is accomplished. The
revenue to support the government must be
raised from other sources than the necessary
articles Of consumption among the laborfng
people. Men Of sense will heed this. "A word

CLERICAL VACATIONS.

from the ". T. ITIOune.
The Methodist clergymen of Chicago were,
at the date of our last adviees, engaged in
considering the important query, Whether a
minister should travel for his health in hot
weather, leaving his sanctuary shut up or his
pulpit to the mercy of a nance supply? In
this city the matter (however it may be in
Chicago does not seem to be one of much
importance. When the sheep have wandered
to the seaside or up the mountains, or have
taken ship ''strange countries for to see, it
is hardly worth while for the shepherd to
linger at home merely to read prayers and
sermons to ''dearly beloved Roger" the
sexton. Parsons who are accustomed to full
houses never exhort at their best to a
beggarly account of empty pews. This is one
of the inevitable results of the prominence
which has been given to the sermon at the
expense of the service. II people 60 to
church simply for the sake of intellectual
qualification, or merely follow the crowd to
listen to a popular speaker, then a numerous
auditory is just as necessary in a church
as it is in a playhouse. Indeed, one
cannot sometimes help remembering
that the pulpitum in the Roman theatre
was the place where the actors exhibited
themselves. A preacher accustomed to the
stimulus of ga sea of upturned faces, - to the
qualification of congregational applause, to the
assurance of many accordant voices that the
sermon just enunciated was perfectly
beautiful, soon finds that the flavor
of his preaching is ~lamentably depen-
dent upon this particular kind of

gent in regard to the building Of ships, aud
confer too large an authority on the Score
tary of State, and that their general effect
would be injurious to the shipbuilding inte-
rests of the country. The question at issue
between Mr.. Harcourt and the other Com-
missioners may be shortly stated: There is
no dispute as to the obligations of inter-
national law in this matter. 1t is deemed
lawful to build ships of war for belli-
gerents, but not to equip or despatch
them when built. MIR. Harcourt thinks it
will be enough if we extend our municipal
law so as to meet these obligations, it being
admitted that at present our municipal law is
defective in that respect. On the other hand,
the Commissioners argue that, as a matter Of
domestic convenience, and for the sake of
giving our Government proper facilities for
fulfilling the international duty of preventing
the equipment and despatch of armed vessels,
it is necessary to carry the municipal law a
step beyond the international law, and strike
at the building of any ship for an unlawful
purpose. Lord Granville and Mr.. Gladstone,
in announcing that a bill would Immediately
be introduced on this subject, afforded no in
dication how far the Government are pre-
pared to go in the direction of the Commits
sioners' report. No one will deny the gravity
of the considerations raised by Mr.. Harcourt.
The ~shipbuilding trade is an important ele-
ment both in the strength and commercial
prosperity of this country; and we are bound
to be cautious lest we injure it by
any undue restraints. At the same time
national interests must necessarily override
those of any class, and the interests involved
in these questions of neutrality are of a mag
nitude which do not admit of being trifed
with. 1t is idle to pass a law on this subject
which shall not be thoroughly effective; and
without the power of a%rresting any vessel which
is being built for the use of a belligerent,
with the intention of being armed and
equipped for such service elsewhere, we should
still be exposed to a repetition Of the difficult
ties which occurred during the American war.
AZ to the powers to be given to the Secretary
of State, they are no doubt very large and
arbitrary, and capable of being turned to
mischievous account, but it might, perhaps,
be possible to modify them, or, at least, to
surround them with certain checks in adj
dition to the greatest check of all-the vigi
lance of public opinion and the jealous scru
tiny of political opponents.

Come, dear Old oomrade, yOu and

The shining days when life was new,
And al was bright with morning dew
The lusty days Of long ago

And mine brief appendix wear

And graRdyOu lOok-iH peoples eyes,

Your fist, old fellow of they eo!-
How are you, ,Bilf How are you Joe,
You've worn the Judges ermined robe:
You've taught your uamc to half the globlc:
You've sung mankind deathless strain:
Toa'Re made the dead past live again.
The world may oall you what It viii,
But you and are Joe and BIN.
The chatting young folks stare and say,
"See those old buffers, bent and gray
They talk like fellows in their teensl
Mad, poor old boys That's what it Means
And shake their heads; they little know
The throbbing hearts of Bill and Joei
How Bin forgeis his hour Of pride. z
While Jos sits smiling at his side: 49,

Which dust was Bill and which was Joe:
The weary idol takes his stand.
Holds out his bruised and aching hand,
While gaping thousands come and go
How vain It seems, this empty show!

That evening, when their MUS Of

declared that he didn't want any milk

to explain. Willie, however, told of the
discovery Of the morning.
The neither then explained to them
that the milk did not come t0 them sec

which produced everything in Nature.
IA the light of this explanation, Willie
was satisfied, but Freddy still turned up

proposition.
After supper, Willie, who on these inn
pOftant occasions always acted as ex-
FOUNDER, took his brother aside into a
corner. IT'S an right, Freddy he said.
