In the article of cutlery, at least, the L. S
are more than able to compete with England
in spite of tariff impositlons. American cut
lery, 1t is said, has gone far towards driving
Sheffield cutlery out of the European market
1t is this fact that lends credlbllity TO the
statement of New York paper, that the
great Sheffield England, cutlery works,
among the most famous in the world. are to
be removed to Syracuse, New York.

Assuming, according TO the census returns
and The actual capacity OF the distIlleries,
that the annual manufacture of whisky in tn,
U. 8 has averaged about l6j OOl, 900 gallons
per year. and tina. the quantity varies little
from year 10 year, Mr.. Pratt deduces from
these figures that at no time since the whisky
tax was levied has there been tax maid on
more than one half, and during mos, of the
time on less than third or fourth Mr.
Pratt further shows, by reference to the law
that not gallon of whisky can escape taxa
tlon without the cOnnivance of at least Two
government ofiicers--the gauger and the
storekeeper. Yet the above figures show tina,
from the first day the tax was levied The gov.
eminent has been acknowledgements no,
only In small, desultory way, but systema,.
ically and on gigantic scale. 1t is not ne.
cessary TO follow Mr.. Pratt through his long
and interesting unravelment of the devilishly
ingenious process by which the governmen,
is robbed. 1t is enough To know, by his
showing, tina, this robbery has been gong on
from the first, and that the government al
ways knew IL! Yet not until Bristow enter.
cd the treasury IN 1874, was there the slight
est effort made to stop the robbery and catch
the thieves!
AS TO the amount Of the steal, any one, by
taking l65,CO),OOO, the yearly manufacture
as the basis, and the rate of taxation as given
above and the amount actually collected, can
figure gu, the sum total Ct the steal for him.

The Ottawa Free Trader takes Campbell
with as much gusto as it would a dose OF Vim
egar Bitters. We always had q great respect
for the editor of that paper, and he has our
i full sympathy now that he findshimselfin a
situation where all that he has written about
the rag. baby father will trouble his editorial
brains like Banquo's ghost.-Lockport PhG-
| mir.
Our friend "Styx" may as well husband
his sympathy tor somebody else. The "dose''
/, mentions is 50 temp cred and modified that
even as weak stomach as that of Styx
might bear it. To change the figure, the
FREE TRADER finds itself in the fix OF the
boarder who had the choice of ram, Lamb,
sheep or mutton" Ofthe presidential candl-
dates, both Tilden and Hayes are hard mon
ely men and both the congressional candi-
dates in this district are greenbackers aud
advocates of soft money-the only difference
being, that Hayes, as part of his soft money,
wants large intermixture Of national bank
bills; while Campbell wants greenbacks only.
All in all, then, the choice TO us between the
whole of them, on the financial question, is
that of the unhappy boarder.
In some other respects, however, the bill
of fare is more diversified. Not to 60 any
further, Campbell is a hearty hater of Grant
ism, and during the last session OF congress
voted steadily with the democrats en- every
question involving retrenchment In expendi-
lures, reform in the public service, and the
exposure and punishment of the multifarious
dshonestes and corruptlons of Grantism,
while every republican congressman voted
the other way and it is presumable that
Hayes, should he be elected, would vote with
his party, and thus in way the opposite to
that of Campbell. Well, you see, when the
bill Of fare thus offers US choice be-
tween clean, wholesome reform, on the one
hand, and filthy rotten Grantsm on the 9TH
err, we take Tilden, Campbell and reform as
decidedly the more congenial to our stomach.

THE GRAVITY OF THIS OFFENCE

is made more gross by the fact that at the
last session Of Congress, when it was pro-
posed to reduce the pay Of officials, in
order to relieve the industry of the
country from the burden of taxation, it
was resisted by the Republicans upon
the ground that this could not be done
without injury TO the public service. Yet
we see National Republican Committee
reducing their pay by assessments for
