Stop That Cough.

Many people hesitate to try medicine for a
disease, On account of the expense, connected
with the uncertainty of its benefting themi
while at the same time, had they confidence
in that remedy, the expense would be the least
objection With this fact in view, we make
the following proposition: Any person suffer-
ing with cold, cough or sore throat, that will
call at w. B. Bakers or any other drug store
and purchase bottle of HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL, use one half of it and, if they then
conclude that it is doing them no good they
can return the bottle and receive back their
money. No medicine ever sold in this vicni~
ty, that produced so magical results. Don't
fail to try it. alma

coming one. Tho people attending
this year will number thousands
more than were there last year, for
the attractions are greater. Special

Dubuque never does anything by
halves, but goes it whole length, and
all who attend the approaching fair
can rest assured that they will be
well paid for going.

A PoEM.-We invite the attention
OF our readers to a poem on the
fourth page of this issue which we
think is quite superior to the chance
productions which We usually find
in newspaper columns. There is q
view of probability running through
it. which, with its beauty of diction
and tender sentiment, should give it
currency among all lovers of song.

There is a growing sentiment
throughout the country against the
enormous exemptions of property
from taxation. Those who do pay the
taxes feel that unju burdens are cast
upon them by that partial. legislation
which creates privileged classes in the
land. This sentiment seems to have
seized upon the Presidential mind all
of sudden and he takes occasion to
inject into his message recommends
ton that the immense amount OF
Church property in the country which
has been exempt from taxation from
time immemeriable, should te taxed.
There are very large number Of per-
sons who fully agree=wit the Presi-
dent on the subject, but who will fail
to understand what the Federal Cow
ernment has to do in the premises.
The national government does not
levy taxes directly upon property in
any event, and II it resorts, to direct
taxation those taxes are eapporlionedi
under tbeConstitution among the sew
eralStates according to population, and
levied and collected the States, under,
their own, laws. But wheniti ia consid-
cred that hundreds Of millions of dol
lars Of national bonds are held in the
States wholly exempt from taxes, and
that by the action Of the Federal Gov
ernment, to W hich the President makes
no. reference, the downright demagog-
ueism of his recommendation is rem.
dercd manifest. ''-'7 s. y,.... r

On Thursday last Senator Bogy, %
Missouri, iptroduced in the Senate :
bill authorizing the payment Of dutiei
on importssin in n1legai-tenders aud Ma.
tional Bank notes. It provides that
from and after July 4, 1876, duties on
imports may be paid in legal tenders
and National Bank; notes or coin, a,
the option Of the importer. Mr.. Begy
said it was not his Intention at this
time to discuss the nerits of the bill.
but he looked upon it rs o measure
tending to specie resumption, and in
his opinion it was tine only way the
country would ever attain resumption.
He Oderedthe bill SO as to prepare the
way for this operation The only way
to resume specie payment was by ap.
preciating the paper now in, .circula-
ton, lie was not in favor of any in
crease Of paper currency, but he wished
to appreciate that paper. As long as
the country had the system of Nation
al Banks, whether it was wise one
or not, it seemed 10 him that it was
the ddty of Congress TO give that pa
per as much value as possible. He de-
sired the amount of legal tenders now
i'll circulation to remain as at present,
He looked upon. any contraction of
the currency as rainous to the country
He thought the bill submitted by him
could be explained as the only meas
ure which would possibly lead to re-.
sumption, and at the proper time he
would endeavor to explain it.
