Two Great SOLDERING Statesmen
Who Have Suddenly 8ecome
lmpiacables.
Joe Meiill's Tribune,

At this juncture the President
avails himself of the privilege Of his
annual message to blast the popular
hope by casting his influence, and in
effect threatening his veto, in behalf
of the blood-suckers, who insist upon
receiving from Is to Is per cent.
more than they loaned, in addition
to their interest. This Presidential
utterance has deepened the general
dependency of the country pending
the uncertainty Of its influence on
Congress. The people who were
blue before are bluer than ever, and
those who were hopeful are now
downcast. Tho depression must con-
tinue in the present state Of things,
forcing institutions that are in fact
solvent into suspension, and every
suspension still further retarding the
recovery of confidence. There IL
but one hope of present relief, and
that rests in the prompt response OF
Congress to the popular will by the
deferment of resumption and by the
demonstration of silver, in despite
of the sharps and Shylocks.
g. Bill Curtis Harper's Weekly.
1t would be uncandid, however
not to state frankly that those who
are most disposed to support the ad.
ministration have been disappointed
that its course seems at times to be
both timid and inconsistent. Decis.
ion, vigor and courage are always in.
spring, and it has been too often for.
gotten by the administration that the
strength of its support is among those
who are not especially politicians
and who do not make themselvel
loudly heard. When such friends
see things which they cannot explain
nor reconcile with the assumed prin-
ciples of the administration, they have
nothing to say in reply to the jeeri
and taunts Of its open opponents, and
without doubling good intentions,
they are disheartened and perplexed.

The Ottumwa COURIER has q well
written article den0uncing the petty
prosecutions of the u. s. Revenue of:
ficers. The occasion for the article
was this: One farmer in Wapello
county sold Q small amount of Leaf
tobacco to be used In curing scab On
sheep. He was NO dealer in tobacco
did NOT raise it to sell and had NO
thought Of violating the law. Some
contemplate puppy anxious to secure
the mileage, fees, &C., having heard OF
the transaction filed an information
ct Keokuk and the old farmer finds
himself arrested for what he consid.
cred neighborly act. We have had
. few such cases in this county and
there certainly is some way to punish
the scalawags who make . living by
getting honest men in trouble. The
law is not intended to cover such cases
and they are generally dismissed by
the court, but always at the expense
of the party accused.
If NO other way is to be found out
Of the difficulty q little judicious
lynching would be healthy. In one
case in this county q scalawag came
to parties who had been guilty of .
technical violation of the revenue
laws and when they asked him what
they should do to avoid trouble, be
said If they would take out license
and pay so much nothing would be-
said. They were innocent of any
crime, but saw that trouble could be
MADE and so promptly complied with
mas demands. Surprising this would
% the last Of 1t, their surprise may be
imagined when the hound had gone
back to Keoknk and secured an In
dictment against them.
There is NO language which will
adequately express our deem con.
tempt for such characters "a these nat.
ty informers. In almost every in
stance man who will engage in such
business 10 black hearted scoundrel
and public opinion should scourge
him from respectable society.
Neither the court, the marshal nor
the attorney are responsible for the
existence Of this class of vampires, but
It does seem as though they could
make = business little more disre-
putab Bloom field Republican.
The COURIER did not say, and does
not now believe, that U. y. Revenue
officers were engaged in the disreput-
able practices we alluded to.

In 1874 good many of the high
toned commercial houses in New
York were caught swindling the
custom officers, and forthwith these
swindlers made such q hue and cry
against the detectives, through the
papers, that they were abolished. and
the importers put ON their good be-
havior.
A distinguished member of Con-
gress, who has had occasion to watch
the operation Of the customs service,
estimates the annual loss at 40 per
cent. but il We take the lower esti-
mate at rs per cent, stated by Mr..
Curtis and his associates, the figures
are sufficiently startling. The receipts
from customs in the United States, in
1874, for instance, were 1888, 103, 1888
the one-fourth lost would be s., 900,
600; and the total amount which we
should have received would have
been $2l7 100000. II we apply the
estimates to the customs receipts al
New York in 1876, the one-fourth
loss would be s36, 600, 600, making the
amount which the government should
have received at New York $l44, OOO,.
600, instead of the amount actually
received, SOS, 100000.
The Collector Of New York, in
submitting . table, and referring to
the probable effect of the law of june

sire to argue in behalf Of informeri
or detective officers, l am yet strong
