Our Invi.ibIe Enemies.

The raw. astringent atmosphere OF winter creates
and aggravates many ailments. To protect them
selves as e~fectually. as possible against the invisible
dangers which, surround them at this season should
be the especial care of persons constitutionally deli
cate. As there is no medicinal preparation in use
which so thoroughly braces and invigorates the
stomach, the liver. and the nerves, as Hostetter's
Bitters, a course of that agreeable tonic is Particu-
larly advisable for d~yspeptic, bilious and nervous
sufferers, in the cold, damp and trying weather
which generally. Prevails in our climate at this period
of the year. Sudden chins Have a very bud eject
upon dyspeptics and individuals Of bilious habits,
not unfrequently -ProducinS congestion ofithe liver
Or bowels, or low fevers, sometimes of an intermit-
tent or remittcnt character. IAttacks Of rheumatism
are;alsO to be ,apprehended, and when there is a ten
dency to that complaint, the Bitters will be found the
best preventive. The operation Of the great.vegetabie
tonic is direct and simple. 1t stimulateg n dstrength-
ems the digestive and secretive organs and the nerves.
and puts the system in a condition to resist the action
of those formidable foes of vitality q low temperature
and unwholesome Winds aud fogs. By quickeniDg the
superficial circulation, without ~creatingi anything APP
preaching to fever, it imParts tone to the skin. and
thus renders the surface of the body comparatively i'm
pervious te =nheaIthy exfernal influences.

TheIncOme Tax.

Representative Hooper, on the 18th,
presented a communication from Conf
missioner Pleasanton relative to, the in
! come tax, which was referred to the
| Committee on Ways and Means. In the
communication the Commissioned says:
"I regard the tax as the one above all
others most obnoxious to the people,
being inquisitorial in its nature, and
dragging into public view an exposition
of the most private pecuniary affairs of
citizens. Such unwilling exposition can
only be compulsorily effected through
the maintenance of the most expensive
machinery, and the mean necessarily
employed in its enforcement appear to
be regarded by the better class of citi-
zens with more and more disfavor from
year to year. 1t is furthermore most
difficult to exact a statement, especially
of large business manifestations and where
long periods of time are involved in ex-
tending commercial affairs. There is
some question as to its eonstitutionality,
but as to hat 1 express no opinion. The
amount derived from this source has,
under legislation already had, been
greatly diminished, and l am so well
satisfied that the evils more than
t~erbalance the benefits to be derived
from its longer retention, that l recon-
llOll0 L ulIOOl1O1OAOAAoA 1OPCoAs LII q
later communication from the Commits
sioner, he estimated the loss to the rev.,
enue from the increase from $1,000 to
$1,000 at $9,338, 161; which wonld leave
but SIC, 739,539 as the revenue under
the five per cent rate, and but $780,
1914 as the aggregate reyenuethat would
be derived under the two and.a half per
cent. rate. The tax on dividends and
the addition. to the surplus funds of the
banks, railroad companies, &c, under
the reduced rate, he estimates at $685.
543, which, added to $780, 49,, would
give in round numbers $l2, $4,000 as the
approximate receipts from the income
tax under the act of the .l4th ofiJuly,
1870, based on the average returns. of
the last four years. He expresses the
opinion, however, that in consequence of
the general prostration of business, the
gradual appreciation of papef currency,
and from. other. causes the. actual RE-
ceipts for the coming year would fall
considerably shorTof that estimate, and
he renews the Recommendation for the
entire abolition of the income tax.
