Beer in Germany and America

A correspondent Of the Sprin gfeld
Republican writes from Frankfort. on.the.
Main:
Beer in Germany is the great bull
wark of the social and musical assem-.
blies. In this direction its influence
here is perpetual and deep, and it is
this influence which will forever be i'm
possible TO it in America. Think of the
thousands of concerts in Germany,
every afternoon and night, at each of
which sit hundreds of business men
and their families and friends, visiting
with each other in the intervals of the
music, quaffing each simple glass of
beer, the proceeds of the sale of which
in some way pays for the entertain
ment. When you can persuade an
American man OF business, or his wife,
that he or she can afford to spend two
or three hours "a week IN concert rooms,
or in social intercourse over glass of
beer, then you will raise beer in
America to responsibility, and never
before.
At first thought it was very idyllic
to see men Of care and toll sit down
with their wives and children and in
dulge in simple rest-something very
nice, tending to prolong ones days and
happiness, and give him n serener
retrospect as he climbs the final slopes
of life. | used to long to see the ia
miliar faces of fellow.toilers sitting
around the tables and enjoying an hour
or two of idleness, but | never could
help thinking how odd and out of place
those faces would look there. But this
impression after while gave way to the
more truly American one of disgust at
so much laziness, especially as | saw
that among the lower classes of work
ingmen an inconceivable amount of
time was wasted in senseless talk and
stupor over beer.
1t is supreme delight 10 see old peo-
ple-old men and women who, with us,
would think they could not set foot out
OF doors-frequentipg these beer gar
dens, and enjoying the sunlight and
fresh air and the gambols of the chill
dren 1T Is supreme delight to see
weary-faced women resign themselves
to involuntary knitting, and drink in
unconscious repose but to see so many
burly men sozzling and jabbering, hour
after hour, gradually arouses doubts.
Doubted: whether, if less beer were
drunk here, the people, after so many
years of good education, would not APP.
proximate more nearly to the New
England standard of common culture
whether, If America drank beer in like
proportion, the Pacific Railroad would
yet be built. The beer temperament
and the tea temperament, the phleg.
matte and the nervous, have each
their delights. Well furnished with
the latter, the former is hardly worth
our envy.

Omineca Mines.

The news from the Omineca mines is
exciting. Fifty dollars day to the hand
and one dollar and a half to the pan is
enough to excite the most phlcgmatic. The
news spread abroad last fall will attract a
thousand or so to the northern mines this
season, and some have put it as high as
two thousand Steamer after steamer has
left this port for the Skecna, crowded with
miners; hundreds have gone from various
portions OF the mainland, and the last
news that has come to hand is that Mon.
tana and Idaho are also sending mounted
body of five hundred, via kamloops, to the
new mines. At present, for a wonder
there is no gold excitement in gold and
silver bearing districts south. We may,
consequently, expect large immigration
from the States.

EFFECTS oE BEING Sick IN V1cTo-
RIA.-It is no joke to be sick in Victoria,
unless you wish to excite the lively notice
of the undertakers. In that interesting
city they have two undertakes who are
running in rivalry, and who are always on
the keenest lookout when they hear of any
one i'll, with the view of getting the fuuer-
al. We have been assured of instances
where in the anxiety to lose nothing by
being in time, ovcrturcs have actually been
made before the sick man has been dead,
and that, at other times, persons ailing
have received friendly calls from these
gentlemen with expressions of sympathy,
doubtless accompanied with an eye to
business. 1t must be a mighty pleasant
thing to live in community with such
associations, for to fall sick would excite in
the mind of the unfortunate sufferer feel
ing akin to that experienced by the travel
Ter when crossing the plains, that some
one is on the lookout for his sc,lp.

TriumphS Of Taxation.
at our risk

The Administration papers publish, with
apparent satisfaction, brief telegraphic
correspondence between the British and
American ministers of finance. The Brit
ish minister telegraphs to ask bow the
American tax upon friction matches opcr-
ates to which our Secretary of the Treas
ury replies in substance, " bully" it yields
an annual revenue to the Government of
three millions of dollars, without at all ill.,
terfering with the manufacture. Three
millions Of dollars is small amount to
wards the support of the Government un-
der present management albeit it is more
than the entire annual expenses Of the
Administration of Washington, or Adams,
or Jefferson. 1t is not so much the amount
Of the revenue derived from that source,
as the success of the principle, which is
the cause Of graduation to our Republican
friends The monarchal governments of
the old world are thereby taught by Re-
publican America how the many may be
robbed for the benefit of the few, without
exciting popular clamor; how the entire
expenses of the Government may be raised
by taxes upon the universal necessaries
and popular industries, while accumulated
wealth is exempted from all public burdens,
thus practically subordinating labor to cap
ital, aud establishing under the guise Of
Republicanism privileged aristocracy.
Friction matches are representative
item of our present taxation they are an
article Of general necessity to the whole
people; the laboring man with an income
barely adequate to the support of himself
and family, pays as much for the support
Of the Government through this tax as
the man with an annual income of millions
The tax upon this article is hundred
times more than the cost of the material
used in its manufacture; thus the tax
upon labor is represented by ninety mine
per cent, to one per cent. upon capital
The same principle is maintained through
out the entire Republican party system o.
taxation. The people of no enlightened
monarchial government on earth would
submit to the same partial and oppressive
system. In Germany, beer is almost al
universal an article of consumption a.
bread. A few years since an attempt wa.
made to subject beer to a special tax Of
two or three pence per gallon. The at
tempt led to a popular outbreak which
would have ended 10 revolution but for az
immediate repeal Of the duty. The
American people, more submissive tc
party dictation than the subjects of des
potisu to tbuse who according to popula,
superstition rule by Divine right, set an
example of obedience to arbitrary and op
pressive government which monarchs
commend to their subjects as worthy Of

SHALL THE SWORD SUPPRESS THE
CIVIL LAw?-Under this head the
Chicago Tribune, one of the oldest and
most influential Republican papers in the
Union, makes strong protest against the
military despotism bill Itsays:
Have the American people so retro
graded in intelligence and respect for the
law that it is necessary to set aside the
Constitution and the statute book, the
executive, judicial aud municipal officers
of the people, and to provide that the
President, at any moment, upon his own
motion and at his own discretion, may en-
ter any State, declare martial law, sus.
pend civil authority, and make a military
commander sole arbiter in all matters of
life, property and liberty? Has popular
government SO far proved a failure that,
in the most profound peace, when there is
not in all the broad land an organized
force opposing the Federal laws, or ques.
tioning Federal authority, the Congress of
the United States should provide for a
military despotism to take the place of the
Government chosen by the popular will
and existing by the popular consent !?
What is there in the condition of the State
of Illinois which justi6es the suspicion of
such intolerable anarchy, and warrants
the substitution of armed force for the
civil law? Yet both houses of Congress
have passed just such bill, and are only
divided as to some of the details. Both
Houses have agreed to place in the hands
Of the President this unexampled power,
wholly unwarraoted by the Constitution,
and only defeusible upon the plea that free
government is failure, that popular in
telligence has been perverted, and that to
the army is to be committed the task of
averting general anarchy.
