] which yielded last year over I015 mil
lions It abolished, to take effect Oc
I tOber l, the tax on gross receipts,
which yield over 81 millions; on sales,

near millions The reduction of the
rate, and increase of the exemption, of
the income tax is equal to a reduction
of about 23A millions. The abolition
OF taxes on legacies, successions, ar
t1cles in schedule A, and passports, to
take effect Octa-ber /, is equal to a re-
ductiOn of nearly millions Stamp
taxes have been reduced, to take effect
October l equal to IL million. The
total reduction in this way is equal to
over 55 millions.
By the same Congress duties on i'm
por were reduced equal to a reduc-
tion of taxes on last years importa-
tlons of nearly 23% millions.
This is a record of some of the
principal features of the work of the
Repu bllcan party, in carrying the bur
den created by the Democracy. What
can the Democratic party present to
snow TO the American people that they
can DO better? Is it that they brought
the calamity of vast debt upon the
country, and, therefore, are most fit to
administer upon itP What financial
policy do they declare for? Can any
man define what is the policy of the
DeinOcfdblc pa " on the payment of
the war debt, on the currency, on the
banks, on internal taxes, or on the
tarin? We see nothing but anarchy of
opinion in that parry on these ques-
tiOns. No convention or organ eau de-
clare anything on any of these aft ,iIs
that is not declared against bv other
conventions and organs. And when
the Congressional representatives of
the party undertake to declare the cam
paign ta'-tics for the party, they expect
TO drop all issues and go blindly for
success.
If the Democratic party could pre-
sent policy on the great affairs of ad
Justing the own burdens to the back
of the country, the people would take
1t into consideration, in connection
with their character as governing
party. Inasmuch as they can offer the
country no policy for the conduct Of
these great affairs, it is left to Judge
them wholly by their character when
they did govern; and this is not so
lovely as to induce the American
people to place them in power, by dis
placing party which rescued the ma
ton from Democratic plan to destroy
1t, and which in spite of its imperfee-
tions, has done tolerably well in carry
ing and reducing the Democratic load. 1

Waterproofs.

BY the way touching waterproofs, !
think can give travellers a valuable hint
or two. For many years | have worn
India rubber waterproofs. But | will buy
no more, for / have learned that good
Scottish tweed can be made completely
irnperv;ous to rain, and, moreover, | have
learned how to make it so, and for the
benefit of my readers will here give the
recipe: In a bucket Of soft water put
half pound of sugar of lead and half a
pound OF powdered alum; stir this at
intervals until it becomes clear; then pour
it off into another bucket, and put the
garment therein, and let it be. in for
twenty-four hours, and then hang it up to
dry without ringing it. Two of my party
Ia lady and gentleman-ha worn gar
ments thus treated in widest storm of
wind and rain without getting wet. The
rain hangs upon the cloth in globules.
In short, they are really waterproof. The
gentleman, q fortnight ago, walked nine
miles in a storm of rain and wind such as
you rarely see in the South and when
he slipped off his oYercoat, his under
clothes were as dry as when he put them
on. This is, / think, secret worth Know
ing; for cloth, if it can be made to keep
out wet, is in every way better than what
we know as waterproofs. - NIts%ated

Variety In Food

A GOOD many farmers families are out
of the reach Of market or butchers
wagon, and are obliged to subsist, as to
meat, the year round, upon ham, salt
pork, and chickens. The ham is always
fried, the pork is always boiled or fried,
swimming in grease, and the chickens are
cooked in some one way. The ham might
be boiled or broiled, or cut into small bits
and made into dumplings, the crust for
them being like soda biscuit, and steamed
or baked. Cold pieces Of ham are nice
cut into small mouthfuls, and warmed
with eggs; they are also very palatable
fried in batter, like veal outlets. a
The meth DDS of cooking chickens and
pork are numerous, and most hOusekeep-
ers know them, but fall into the habit of
cooking them in some stereotyped way,
so that they never seem to have a variety.
1t is the same with vegetables. The first
care is, in the summer and fall, to make
provision for winters this should be plen-
tiful and varied. both in vegetables and
fruits Dried or canned green corn, and
canned tomatoes, and the many kinds OF
sour and sweet pickles, are great additions
to the winter dinner table but my opin
ion is that they are better appreciated if
the same kind does not appear on the ta-
BILE oftener than once week. Potatoes
seem an essential part, of every dinner,
and one can make such a rotation of tur-
nips, parsnips, onions, cabbages, beans,
corn, beets, etc, according to the nature
of the dinner, as never to get tired OF any
one vegetable.
In the matter of canned fruit, preserves,
cakes, pies, and puddings, the same rule
forvariety should be observed, A house.
keeper should not fall into the common
error Of making, year after year, the same
kind of cakes, and the same kind of pies.

To Print ON Fruits.

WHEN handsome fruit is intended to
be shown at fair or sent to friend, it
will add something in the way of novelty
to have it's name or that of some person
printed indelibly upon its surface. This
may he done in several ways, but the
most common methods are as follows:
Just before the fruit has attained its ma
turity, cut from tough, thin paper the name
proposed and paste this upon the side OF
the specimen most fully exposed to the
sun. Thatportion of the fruit covered by
the paper will assume different color
from the other, and when ripe the paper
is removed, leaving the name distinctly
visible. Upon squashes and melons,
names and figures may be indelibly inn
pressed by slightly scratching the sur,
face while they are growing Hearth @''a
