Taxation and Party.

The Nov York Eepsess says. The
aati-mOnopoly journals Of the Republi.
cansparty, We arc glad to see, are neither
10 BE- ceughcd down, ballied down, nor
talked down. They are wise enough to
see that 10 the end, their principles viii
prevail. and that they win be hailed as
sayiors Of their party, if indeed in the
end that party shall find salvation with
the people. Without revenue reform,
death is certain, and this is indeed the
only chance for saving the party. The
Post lays down the A, b, G of the re-
formers IN an article copied elsewhere.
The A means ''taxation Of as few arti.
cles as possible" B 'means taxes and
duties at the lowest revenue points, aud
only those articles taxed which are not
produced here;' aud G "means taxes
laid for the single purpose of raising
revenue" All this is plain enough
from the New York standpoint. But
the Nest, IL possible, is sheal Of this,
and while the New York Tribsne
clamors for protection, the Chicago
Tribune INDUCES in such records Of fact
as these:
The country has now reached that point
on the question Of taxation, when the Issue
can no longer be postponed or evaded, and
parties must take ground for or against thai
policy which eonfscates the earnings Of
labor, aud leaves theproducer only so much
as is needed to sustain the life which he is
expending to enrich others.

day is, Shall the American people remain

Shall the laws under winch this system Of

creation, be swept away, or shall they be

TUE SUGAR CKoP.-The New Or
leans papers state that the grinding OF
the cane, is going on rapidly, aud the
yield Of sugar aud molasses, it is csti-
mated, will exceed that of last year by
10000 to 25 600 hogshcads. Previous
TO the war there were in Louisiana | POI
sugar houses, producing 459,4lO hogs
heads, averagiog, 1900 pounds each,
aud valued at s25, 096 27l. After the
war the plantations which had been
idle we're again placed under cultivation,
and in 1869 the yield from Sl7 sugar
mills was $1,000 hogsheads Of sugar,
worth s12,O00,000 This year there
are LIZ sugar houses in operation,
which, as estimated above, will produce
10000 hogsheads It is stated that
if the planters had had good aud relia-
bic lands to cultivate the sugar cane
early in the season the crops would have
been larger. The increase is due 10
the season, which has been unusually
favorable. Laborers are very difficult
to obtain, even at the rate OF $50 aud
$40, and even $50 a month. Several
planters have secured gangs of Chinese
laborers and are preparing TO begin
work early next year.

originated from the stove pipe in the
tailoring room; though at the time OF
closing the store Mr. A. says there was
very little fire in the stove, Others
think that the timbers had been on fire
for some days. As the fire was between
the ceiling aud the roof, which was tin,
it was thought best to tear the tin up
Axes were procured aud In few
minutes the rafters were cut loose, and
water copiously applied The building
is owned by }, b. Boyle, aud his loss
is covered by insurance. The stock of
Mr.. Albaugh was valued at 81, 900, and
is insured in the Baltimore County Fire

contents of the store are IN such a

were mean enough to load themselves
down with goods which they carried off
