and actually take her to places where ho does
not think it proper for her to go at all.
omitting the ho7sowhipplns, the public at

head OF his family, and responsible to society fer
the conduct Of those members who are under
his legal control, can hardly be questioned. That
1t is his right as we'll his duty to prevent LIS
children attending improper public places, and to
take whatever steps may be necessary to &C
complisb that end, will not be denied. The
preservation Of the family relation IS the pre-
se1yation OF the integrity Of social order. The
family is the unit OF society. The father is IN
vested BY law with authority to enforce obed'-
ence to his discipline. He must Of necessity be
the Judge in all cases Of doubtful propriery in
tho deportmont OF his family. So far
from there being anything wrong in
tho conduct Of this father seeking to restrain
growing generation Of girls is, that other parents
do not exercise their authority more rigldly. No
one can visit these public places where women
are admitted without male escort, and not fail
to witness the dep!orabls consequences Of the
1axity in parental authority. Those places arc
attended mainly By four classes: !. Women
OF the abandoned character, who go
there to advertise themselves, 2. Women

ages and degrees, and to become acquainted with

families, who are at first astounded, then COM
p1imented and pleased with the close and marked
attentions they receive from tho gorgeously-
dressed men and women by whom they arc sur
rounded. Il any one questions the accuracy Of
this classification of the Attendance at an ordi-
nary afternoon entertainment to which females
are admitted without escort, let him visit one and
see what he will sec. Now, it is matter for
parents to Judge how far their daughters can go
to such places, especially If TINY so habitua1ly,
without attracting tho attention OF those whose
trade aud profit are in corrupting the young; and
it is for parents to judge whether an absolute
prohibition Of attendance Of their daughters at
such places il not part OF the imperative duty
they owe to their children, IT not to society.
While the use of the horsewhip on a grown-up girl
recalls past doys of barbarism, and suggests
that 1t is LIKELY to have coatrar effect from that
intended, there are few who will not justify and
approve the most rigorous parental authority to
prevent their children falling into the hands OF

We regret that, oning to the peculiar way in
which they compute things in st. Louis, nc are
unable to extend this comparison to many other
articles. Thus, they tabulato the butter, lard,
snd meats received by "packages instead Of
By pounds. But we notice falling oil in lard
of 20 per cent, and Of cured pork to nearly the
came extent Tho loss in apples and onions is
Offset bya '.large gain" in eggs. The trade in
bay fell off; in dried fruit tho lose OF trade
was Is per cent; in butter there WAS 3
sman gain, Which was Offset by decline OF 40
per cent in the receipts Of cheese. In hemp
there was decline Of 5000 bales. There was
m increaso in the lead receipts, but nothing to
compare with the growth Of Chicago in the same
trade. The receipts OF broon1-co1n show de-
crease, though there is slight increase in
seeds, The receipts OF grease and white
beans ahow large decrease In tobacco
the receipts are not given, but it is, said
that, had it not been for the panic, they
might have reached 25,000 hogsheads. Tho
weight OF hogahoad Of tobacco varies from $50
to 1900 pounds, according to the locality in

pounds to the hogshead, and the receipts $4,000
hogsheads, ne have an aggregate OF
2s,0o0,0oo pounds. These receipts we're en-
HANGED by an offer by some Of the
st, Louis merchants to distribute $4,000 O.
prizes for tho largest shipments to the city. In
this way the receipts Of tobacco for 1873 were
largely increased: In Chicago the tobacco trade
has been growing steadily aud last year reached
17s1e,0oo pounds. and in 1874 will equal that OF
st, Louis. The lend and tobacco trades have
been considered peculiarly local to ST. Louis,
but, Ike all other branches Of trade these, too,
are becoming greater here than in that city.
The Democrat makes no attempt to give the
values OF the various receipts, nor to compare
them with last year. It claims, however, that in
certaip lines Of trade the city held it's OVID,
and thus SUMS up the increase over 1872 in the
seerccata business Of these lines. It says:

The BURDENS OF TAxXrIoN.-The Gin
cinnati Commercial estimates that a
family whose necessary household ex-
penses reach the sum Of 81 500, pays
an indirect tax in the shape Of tariff
exactions to the general government Of
1927. to which should be added about
$50 on account Of internal revenue.
The San Francisco Bulletin takes the
case of family owning piece of
property in that city, valued and assessed
at SIS, 900, the income on which at 10
per cent. is 81, 800. In addition to the
1927 tax paid to the general govern
ment, this property is assessed for To-
cal taxes at $2.l0 on the 500, or $3l5
making a total tax of 1892, leaving
a net income Of 1908. But this is not
all. The family is then turued over to
the tender mercies Of the various mo-
nopolies. There is Corner" in almost
every article Of prime necessity which
the family uses or employs. There is
corner" in water, corner" in gas,
a corner" in transportation, corner"
in land, corner in almost everything
but the air the family breathes. These
monopolies will extort about 500 addi-
tional from the family in question, thus
absorbing nearly one-half of the entire
income from its landed estate, but this
does not generally impovcrish it, for in
most cases some Of it's members are
able to earn living by their labor or
their brains. In any European country
the income of $4,000 would enable an
average family to live with comfort, and
in some countries in luxury. Here near
" one-half of such an income is imper-
ceptibly grabbed to satisfy the demands
of what is called a free. liberal govern
ment. The rich can stand this exaction,
for their taxes amount TO a compare
lively small proportion of their wealth;
but the effect is crushing upon the Ia
boring classes. who consume of the
necessaries of life as much, if not more,
per- capita. AS the weather. people
This exorbi,ant indirect taxation is eat
ing up the vitals Of the community and
must be stopped. The poor are daily
growing poorer. and the suspension of
many industrial enterprises, the stag
nation in labor market. and the high
rates Of money interest. combine To rem
der the outlook as rather gloomy in a
business poin, Of view 1t is evident
that some radical change is necessary
in the government in order Ia bring
about state Of affairs that shall res
tore something of the old-,;me prosper

the documents contained conveyance

had been said he left it, Mrs. Rowland
was not prepared to say. Candace

TIE history Of the British debt be-
gins with the reign Of William Of Or
snge (l6S8). By the year 100 the
debt aggregated $6S, 000,OOO In 1853
it was 665 100000. The peace from
the close of the French war to l774 re-
duced the debt Of England only $4,000,
900. Then began the war with the
American colonies; and in 1884 the
debt of England had risen to 1885,
100000. Something considerable of
this must no doubt be set down to the
account of India. The peace of 1882
was unbroken till the policy Of Pitt
dragged England into war with the
French. This lasted with little inter-
mission till 1915. At the downfall Of
Napoleon the British national debt had
reached the enormous figures Of a, 5l0,-
100000. It has never been any higher
than that. Then followed peace of
thirty.nine years, broken by the Crime
an. In these thirty-nine years the loht
was reduced $500, 600, 900. We have
reduced ours $3.50, 00O, 900 in nine years
Of peace. Indeed we may say in eight
years, for peace was hardly re-estab-
lished in many Of the Southern States
till the close of 1866. The Crimean
war added $l7O, 000, 900 to tho British
debt. During the Gladstone admins
trati0n considerable amount was paid

lish debkie about - much less than
