THE TAX ON TOBACCO. The Richmond
Tobacco manufacturers assembled on Sat-
urday at the Tobacco Exchange, to protest
against the proposed four cents increase of
the present tax on tobacco. The recon-
mendation that the tax be so increased was
made BY the Secretary of the Treasury.
After considerable cogitatlon, it was
Resolved, as the sense of the tobacco
men of Richmond, That the late recon-
mendation of the Secretary of the Treas
ury to increase the tax ON manufactured
tobacco four cents per pound is as UNJUST
as it is UNNECESSARY unjust because it
selects staple production of six to eight
states of this Union to heap an additional
burden of over four millions, which is now
pouring All immense revenue into. the Golfers
of the government; unnecessary, because
the experience of the last few years shows
that reduction of the rate of tao has so
greatly increased the consumption that
more revenue flows into the treasury than
under the older and higher systems"
A committee of five were appointed to
communicate the same to the Virginia re-
representatives. in Congress.

THE QUESTION Is DAILY ASKED by
THOUSANDS OF OUR CITIZENS, Why
IN 10 that fhe IXL Bitters HAVE A.
CHIEVED SUCH POPULARITY WITH THE
PUBLIC, AND HAVE SUCH AN INN ENSE
SALE?" THE REASON Is BECAUSE
THEY ARE AN OLD AND WELL-ESTAB-
LISHED A ARTICLE AND ARE MADE FROM
THE MOST CHOICE HERBS AND ROOTS;
THE MANY WHO HAVE TRIED THEM,
TESTIFY TO THEIR BENEFICIAL QUAIL
TIES, AND HAVE NO HESITATION IN
RECOMMENDING THEM TO THEIR AF-
FLICTED FRIENDS.
THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE
THE BEST TONIC AND RECUPERAT0R
KNOWN ; THEY BUILD UP THE SYSTEM
AND IMPART STRENGTH TO THE WEAK
AND EXHAUSTED, AND ARE ENDORSED
AND RECOMMENDED BY OUR MOST
EMINENT PHYSICIANS (as per certificates
on each bottlo) TO THOSE AFFLICTED
WITH DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION AND
LOSS OF APPETITE. As blood purifier
they surpass all other so-called tonics which
have lately been placed in the market.
No Family should be without them. SOLD

Sustain the Sinking system.

The flashes of excitement produced by
the. stimuants in ordinary use are fol-
lowed by reaction that is always more
or less injurious. just as the darkness,
illuminated for moment by the light
nings glare, becomes apparently darker
than ever after the flash is over, so the
mental gloom and physical debility that
vanish temporarily under the influence
of dram, return with ten-fold intensi-
ty when the first transient effect ceases.
Yet physicians habitually prescribe the
liquors of commerce for patients suffering
from bodily weakness and mental de-
spondency. The true remedy in such
cases is pure stimulant medicated with
the finest tonics ard alternatives which
the vegetable kingdom affords, and Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is the only prep
aration at present known which thorough
ly meets the emergency. The effect OF
this popular restorative is continuous.
Each dose taken invigorates the vital
energies and the brain, and its prolonged
use will unquestionably cure any case of
debility, hypochondria, or mental torpid
ity that does not arise from organic
causes beyond the reach of medicine. 1t
is, in the strictest sense of the word, an
invigoratihg and regulating cordial. If
the nerves are tremulous and relaxed, it
braces them if the bowels are constipat-
ed, it relieves them if the liver is torpid,
it promotes activity in that organ If the
mind is gloomy, it clears away the clouds;
il the appetite is poor and digestion a
slow and painful operation, 1t creates a
relish for food and enables the stomach to
convert i. into healthful aliment. More
over, it is a specific for large number OF
ailments, some of which are particularly
prevalent in the damp and chilly weather
which we so often experience in mid win
ter. Among these may be mentioned
rheumatism, chills and fever and all the
morbid conditions OF the digestive and
secretive organs superinduced by sudden
changes of temperature and the inclem-
encies of the season. 4ap
