she silently steals pickle, eats chslk, a slate

dull eye and seeks solitude; her eye longer
sparkles; her merry laugh is no longer heard
ringing through The air she mnpes about with
bioodiess bps and gums, with heada che, palpa-
tation, constipation, swimming of the head. cold
feet and hands, melancholy she has coated
tongue, offensive breath, and a host of other
evils too numerous to men ton.

and reduce their tariff schedule /? Will the
people receive the benefit of farthing in
the six millions and more of reduction on
receipts No one expects it. The radical
congress did not expect it, The large sum
taken off of the companies above named,
were only transferred from the government
to the treasury of monopolies. The people
will have to pay the same amount, and the
government will derive no benefit from 1t.
Railroad fare, telegraph rates, insurance
policies, express charges, steamboat tariffs
and canal and ferry rates will not be changed
on account of the tax. The only difference
effected by the change is that the people will
nav the same amount to fatten and prosper
capital and monopoly that they paid before
TO the government As it has always been.
under radical legislation, wealthy corpora
tons get the lions share. When the other
portion of the act goes into effect, next Jan
nary, it will still further appear that the
bossted reduction was made IN the interest
of capital and against labor quincy Her

AN illustration of the benefits that will
be derived By the laboring classes from the
reduction of internal revenue taxes, about
which radicals are making so much noise
and loud professions, is found in the matter
of gross receipts In that part of the &C,
which went into effect on the first inst, the
far greater proportion is upon grossreceipts
The amount collected on gross receipts for
the past year was about S6,894 500, Of
which amount canals, ferries, steam boats,
express, insurance and telegraph companies
paid Sc 1853, 83l, and all other items less
than FIVE hundred and forty thousand. Who
will be benefited by the reduction on gross
receipts but the capitalists How will the
laboring class, the men of moderate means,
receive any advantages from the more than
six millions reduced =? VIII canal travel
transportation cost less now that the tax on
gross receipts IS taken off q? Will ferriage
and steamboat tariffs be reduced because
congress stopped the tax on their gross
earnings? Will the charges of express
companies come down? Will policies of
insurance and rates on telegraphic messages
cost the people less now that the tax unon
the receipts has been done away With win
railroad corporations sell tickets cheaper

THE circul ar Of the Free Trade League
Congress from this state on the question of
protection as follows:
Free Traders Republicans-Farnsworth
Judd, Burchsrd, Hay, Logan.
Democrats -McNeeIy, Burr, Marshall
CEebs. Total 8.
| Prosec,ionists-Hawley, lngersoli, Cook
More and CulIom-al republicans
This circular is compiled from the records
of the Forty-frst congress and there can be
no mistake about the classification that
places Hswley with the Protectiontsts-
protecting Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
capitalists and manufacturers at The expense
of the western manufacturers, whereby the
people pay two prices for every protected
article, nine tenths of which goes into the
pockets Of eastern men. The circular gives
each congressmans vote and We find Haw
leys' with the Protec,ionists, also clause
stating that he made few remarks in
accordance with his votes
In the face of this indisputab!e record be
stated in speech at Oquawka that congress
had not time to mend these matters. Does
he think his hearers we're all fools?
Again it should be borne in mine how by
his vote he assisted the present radical
congress to violate the pledges of its prede~
cessors and reimposed the inquisitorial in
come tax. When that tax was originally
imposed, the faith of the government was
pledged that it should not extend beyond
1870. This pledge the radical congress has
violated, and continued tax inquistorial
and uni ust in its operation, falling as II does
with great inequality upon the people The
New York Tribune in May last thus char
acterized it:
There il no other tax on i1tegrity-no
other premium on periury-equal to an in-
come tax, and especially one levied on
income returns which the public is not
allowed TO See There is no other tax so
unequal as one which requires capitalist
who collects $4,000 per annum in rents or
dividends from his property to pay no more
than the lawyer or doctor who mas patiently
fought his way up to professional income
