WEEKLY STATESMAN,

II is the independent exponent Of an inde-
pendent people. It is their mouth-piece
and reflects pre-eminently their feelings and
interests.
And now we ask our friends everywhere
to aid US in extending still further these
principles, by their patronage and encour-
agement
Our columns are read every week by
thousands Of persons, there are still other
thousands who ought to read them, but do
not We want them also on our lists. The
people need information on current events
and it should be sought in the best and most
reliable channels. Hence we ask our friends
to aid usin increasing our subscription lists
and thereby assist in educating and purify
ing the public mind, morally, religiously,
and politically.
The times are eventlul-even sadly so
and it requires a fearless expression Of pop
ular sentiment to restore true peace, prosper
ty and social order to the people at large,
Every family and every good citizen is in
crested in the speedy restoration of the
country to its former position of national
grandeur and dignity, which under the
guidance Of the fathers and defenders Of the
Republic--Jefier5on, Madison, Jackson
Clay, Webster, Clayton, Benton and otheV
noble patriots,--gave personal security to
every one, and led the Eation forward Ia
prosperity and renown.

MORAL QUESTIONS.

But while legislators are consId,
|er;ng interests which are strictly
material, they should no. ignore
neral questions and influences, and
especially those that affect che MAJ
terial welfsEe of every commune
ty.
Thousands Of citizens have been
placed, but recently, in q condi-
ton of freedom, and r directly
out of slavery, enjoying eqnxl
rights. The transition Is sudden,
aDd to many bewildering.
Also Thousands of foreigners are
annually added to our population,
who have come among rs to sx-
change homes of oppression for
homes of freedom. The genius of
our institutions il net to be under
stood by the masses OF ouch ia a
day or in q year, and, therefore,
these glasses readily fan in with a
sentiment altogether too prevalent;
that freedom near u~Rrestralned
personal hberty-the unchecked
qualification Of personal Desires
This sentiment il even INDUCED by
many of the more intelligent and
designing. Il should be restricted
and the truth should, in every pos
slble way, be incnlcated that in
communities individual privileges
r curtsiled for the general good,
and that the right is conceded for
the whole to make restraining laws
10 advance both individual and the
general welfare.

HAYES, MESSAGE.

We published Governor Hayes
Message last week, and our readerI
probably noticed his remarks rela'
tive to taxation. He admits thai
the people of Ohio r taxed egre'
giously, but at the same time he as.
ssrts that there il no remedy for
this great evil, and advises the peo-
pie to bear the burden patiently in
the hope that some special provi-
dence will soon relieve them. Al
least such is the only meaning we
can GET from his language.
In asserting that our taxes are
burdensoms, the Governor is rigkt
but ia claiming that there il nc re-
medy Therefor, Wa believe he claims
what he knows to be false. Gov
: ernor Hayes has intelligence en-
ough TO know why taxes are 80
high and, knowing the causs, he
could not be mistaken as to the re-
medy. The whisky business of
Ohio produces annually over 5000
subjects for our po~or-houses, which
cost the tax-payers of the State not
far from three-fourths of a million
dollars annually. Beside this, our
insane asylums, our jails aud penis
tentiaries, reform schools, and sx-
pensss for prosecuting criminals,
the large police forces that have to
be kept up, nine tenths ofthe taxes
levied and paid for sustaining ali
These things, and many more, are
chargeable to the vending of Alco-
hoIic liquors. Governor Hayes
knows all this. He knows, too, that
forty per cent. of the taxes paid
into our County Treasures are lev
led to pay for the devastation and
suffering wrought by Alcohol, and
he also knows that if the importa>
ton and sale of Alcohol as q bever-
sge was prohibited, that this forty
per cent. of The taxes need not be
levled and paid.
That the Governor OF Ohio should
attempt to cover up the evilspf the
Whisky Traffic, as Hayes does in
bis Message by pretending igno-
rance of its cost to the people IN
the way of taxes, is disgrace to

wendell Phillips on the Tenn
peranee Question.

On Tuesday evening last, Wen
dell Phillips delivered a lecture in
Cincinnati, in which he touched on
the temperance question, al follows:
He did not propose to look at in
temperance to night rs a sin, as an
individual offense, but to look at it
from the bsllat box az g National
peril. Lord Erskine said kings,
lords, and Commons are bat q sin

purpoee-to put twelve honest men

to him, was the single purpose of
the machinery of State. So, in A

Constitution, Of Congress and Leg
isIatures IL to put an honest, sober,
intelligent, self>respectful mar At
the ballot box. While you hold
that, you hold the government;
when that parts we n drifting
He proposed, therefore, to look at
intemperance from the standpoint
af the ballot box.
