Poisonous Medicines i.

The theory that the virus Of disease can be
safely counteracted by doses of poison, is
false and dangerous. Within the last txen-
poisons nave been added to the repository of
the medical profession. They are given in
small doses, otherwise they would destroy
life Immediately !; bu. even in minute qnanti-
ties, they produce, ultimately, very disastrous
effects. 1t is unwise and unphilosophical to
employ, as remedies, powerful and insidious
drugs. which. in suhiugating one disease,
sow the seeds Of another still more unman-
ageable. None of these terrible indictments

The Eramiacr Of Wednesday contains the
following card from this gentleman, who is .
candidate for Governor. His position is
sound on the subsidy question:
The editorial Of yesterday under the cap
ton of "Eminentlv Soundn mentions that I
am one ef the aspiraats who has not made
rahlic declaration of nv views on the subsidy
question:. Permis me now TO state them
sm opposed to granting subsidies to. or
to incuring Indebtedness. by State, cities or
counties, fer AMY Individual, association or
corporations" or to imposing taxation, 10
any manner or form, for their benefit on the
property of citizens.
NV reason Cor delay in publishing nv views
was that did not deem il proper t. avail of
nv conneciinn with the Examiaer to use It's
columns in advance of other aspi.an,s for the

sArUsDAv MORNING. Nay 40. as'i.


at no period during the last FIVE years has
the prospects appeared so encouraging as at
the present time for all branches OF business.
IL il evident that new era has dawred on
our mountain county our crops are all that
can Be desired, the yield will undoubtedly be
very large. Tuolumne has undergone Sc
we're test during the last five years bat che
has riumphantly emerged from the ordeal Of
depression and the present season win prove
an epoch in her history. Our mines are also
in q most prosperous condition, work has
been resumed on several that years ago were
considered worthless, with renewed energy,
and have in many instances proved satisfac-
tory that they wers rich, but required some
means to develop them properly. Our quartz
mining is yet in its infancy years to come
will prove the assertion so often made, that
old Tuolumne Is the banner mining county
of California. Tuolumne mining resources
will prove a lasting auxiliary to her future
greatness I; her agricultural resources are in
measure limited hut sufficient OF GOOD lands
abound ard the farmers are yearly adding
improvements ~ their farms and crltivating
adjacent tracts of land until some of them
have farms equal to any in the State. and
worth ten times as much an acre as lands of
the San Joaquin Valley; which were so
eagerly sought after few years ago. The
last two years has convinced the people
OF the plains that their sandy lands are a
failure for grain growing purposes. and many
that left this county three years ago with
great expectations of beroming immensely
rich by settling on The plains, have during
the last year come back after losing all they
invested in that sandy country and have de-
termined to make this their future home
Well may the permanent population OF this
county be pleased at the aspects. it is merely
a question OF a few years and our lands will
be worth double their present value. The
railroad is gradually nearing US, our surplus
products can be transported to market at a
reasonable rate, the financial condition of the
county is greatly improved. the high rate of
taxation heretofore has been a serious obsta-
Gle TO the advancement of the county and has
kept many from settling amongst us, but at
the rate the debt has been paid off, in less
than i've years we shall have the whole paid
with balance in the treasury. The expen-
SEES of the county are now paid in cash conse.
quently cash rates are only charged for work
or materials furnished for the County.
Il A noticeable feature that affairs have chang
ed during the last year is, that property one
year ago could be purchased for one third
less than now, our citizens may well pride
themselves on the fattering prospect of the
county to-day Lnd herceforth let every one
endeavor, no matter whether he be a farmer,
mechanic, merchant or miner 10 advance the
interests Of old Tuolumne, and success will
crown their undertakings.

We call attention Of every person within
the rounfy that has license of any descrip-
ton to pay, to tie orders made BY the Board
of Supervisors on Monday last and published
to-day 10 the proceedings Of the Board. The
Law requires every one before commencing
any business subject to this tax, to procure a
license. License payers may not generally
be aware that il is their duty by Law TO hcnt
the Collector in place Of the Collector hunt
ing them and If they do not pay their license
in advance, they are.subject to q fine. Toen-
force the simple plain law is the object for
which these orders were made. Heretofore
there has been great irreeulari;y in the COL
lections which has resulted in a loss to th q
county. The Bnard has commenced to inau.
eurate different system one which will il
persisted 10 be of benefit to the public q,
large and not unjust to those haying this tax
to pay. Our county has foundered in luxu-
rious and parasitic debt for several years
which bore down heavily on our Taxpayers
who grosned and cursed and denounced the
county ard everything in it, while the deb,
was accommodating or even standing still
Long lanes must have a turn and at last, day
has commenced breaking. Our taxation is
high yet. but all our people are willing tc
pay after such reduction as was shown to
have been made the year past. Between
twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars was
taken off tae bur,hen in 1870 with prospect
of doing as we'll for 1871. We are glad the
Board has commenced to regulate the system
of collecting licenses. Every one OF our Ii.
cense taxpayers and oil of our citizens should
do their cart that these orders may prove eff.
fective. Let us all make strong pull for
revenue by putting IN all tie bars and leav.
ing no chance for any taxes to escape the
treasury that properly belong there, and in
one or two years more we will have our deb,
so far reduced that taxation will be nominal
in comparison to what it has been for many
years.
