1t will be seen that it is proposed to tax
coffee four cents per pound, and the substi-
TRIES for coffee, whether raw, roasted, OF
ground, five cents. The American people
n.c larger coDsumers Of coffee than 8uy
other nation but in addition to coffee thsy
permit themselves to be gwmdled by pur-
chasing ground chiecory, daudelion root,
hId aco1ns, at the price Of coffee. It is not
e1t1avagsnt to say that oue-third Of what
our people purchase as coffee is ground
eliceory, dAndelon, OF acorn. So e1ten-
sive has this swi1dIe become that some
persons were importing these adulterations;

dsndeliop, and acorns went 10 Washington

against any competition from the foreign,

SoMe enterpnsing m6n, Who owns q
marsh in New jersey, heard that calamus
E3s imported in small quantity for some
medicinal compound, and forthwith he went

American genius had bean invested in in
fal,ble preparations for drugging children
and e1pelling xonns. Accordingly, Kelley
and Schenck threw themselves into tbs
breach, and, By imposing ta1 Of $2 per
pound on santonine, secured to American
industry the exclusive right to destroy

somewhat On that principle, and whoever
has lived in one OF them will remember
how often his rest has been disturbed in

The PEACE at any price people are queer
set, and they have very odd methods of en-
deavoring TO bring about the reformation OF
the fighting propensities of mankind. II their
practices were as good as their principles,
they might possibly do a great deal OF good,
but unfortunately they fail to make allow
ances for the deficiencies of human nature,
and the fighting members Of society still con-
tinue to carry things with high hand, and to
secure the applause and sympathy that ought
to belong to their opponents. AS fair ex-
ample of the manner in which peace societies
do business, may be instsnced the election as
honorary members of the Universal Peace
League in France of such distinguished advo-
Gates of non-resistance as Andrew johnson,
Charles Sumner, Benjamin f. Butler,
and Horace Greeley. The peace
men of France evidently think
that, if they can get these four distinguished
Americans together, and induce them to en-
brace with a gush of sweet sentimentality,
swearing eternal amity and devotion to peace
principles, an immense step will be taken
towards the accomplishment of their object,
and that fraternal love viii forthwith be
spread abroad over the whole extent of the
American continent and war be heard of no
more. IT would be moving sight TO behold
Victor Hugo rubbing the heads of johnson,
Sumner, Butler, and Greeley together in
token of eternal amity, and weeping over
them in an ecstacy of Gallo emotion and uni
versal philanthropy. 1t would be well, how
ever, to take into consideration the possibility
of the four distinguished Americans becoming
engaged in a controversy over the merits of
different peace policies, and forgetting the
essential principles of the Peace League3 so
far that it would be necessary to bring in the
police to preserve the peace. trN.
