T'other Side of the Register

There are four parties interested in the
working of the MorFETT register: 1st, the
stote: Cd, the man who drinks; Sd, the
owner Of the drinking establishment '4th,
the employe who mixes drinks and receives
the money for them, and rings the register
for each; the State is interested in the
honest enforcement OF the law; the GUS
toner who is charged with tax is desirous
that it should be registered and pald 10 Tue
State. the owner OF the drinking estab-
lishment is interested in having all the
drinks on which tax is paid correctly regis
tered, because he is sure to incur the peril
n, having the penalty for each case OF ne
elect to register a drink, and the register
is his best possible check upon has agent eo"o
receives moneyfo drinks this counter; ana
the employee who mikes drinks and receives
money for them is peculiarly interested; II
no is n man of strict integrity he finds
register OF his sales that, il he Is faithful
keeps a perfectly reliable account OF his
sales. II he should not be faithful, how
ever; il he should be in the habit OF fllch-
ino q suit Of clothes or any other kind OF
self-appropriation from the money OF his
employer, he will consider the register an
abominable detective, depriving him OF the
means OF purloining dime now and them
And thus we see the relations OF the scrc-
raj parties to the little machine. .... ...
Now, clearly the interests of the State and
Of the owner OF the drinking establishment
ore the same. It is that the bell shall be
faithfully rung for every drink. The State
thus gets its due and the owner 4 correct
record of his business, by which he settles
his cash account at night. This is admira-
BILE. II the State gets its own the MoFFETT
register is a success, and will save the pub
lie credit. The owner OF the drinking
house has his sales properly recorded; he
is secured against embezzlement or intdeli-
ty Of his employee, and this very security is
a thing which has puzzled all liquor-sellers,
and for the want of which immense losses
have fallen upon the owners Of liquor estab-
lishments.
This is indeed the "other view OF the
matter. It is very interesting. The tax
payer is u sort Of intermediate friend o,
both the State and the owner OF the drink
ing establishment. 1t is clearly his interest
that the tax he pays shall be registered. He
is sure to listen for the bell. In this be
becomes the guardian OF the interests OF
both the State and the owner OF the drink
ing establishment. With the taxpayers
tho ;ntorost and desire of the honorable EN-.
ploye are identical. ...
Now, then, who is not interested in the
honest recording OF the tax on drinks save
the person who may want to cheat both the
State and the owner Of the establishment
Viewing the little machine thus quietly,
1t seems to be the friend Of all the parties,
and to be the very best check upon bar
tenders that up to this time has been in
vented

The Silver Question.

MIR. GRoEsBECK, of Ohio, on Thursday
made his able speech in favor of remonetiza-
ton Of silver. After he had con Guided he was
loudly applauded, and resolution Of thanks
was voted him by the body. Mr.. GRoEs-
BECK concluded his speech with the follow
ing concise summary of bis leading opin-
ions: ~. a.. l...
"We are told that we should have gold,
that we may be in commercial accord with
Europe. It Is well. Let us for the same
reason have silver also, that we may be IN
accord with Asia and other nations. So we
win be in accord with all, and that will be
better. Great nations do not try to help
each other or look alone to their commerce
with each other for prosperity. They are
rivals, rather, and contend for the COM
merce of the weaker and more 'necessitous
nations. The commerce Of Europe, we APP
nreciate it.; the commerce OF silver-ioving
Asia, with her 800, 100000 of thrifty and in
dustrious people, let us appreciate that also.
It is difficult to oyerestlmate it. 1t was
this which enriched Alexandria and the
cities OF the Mediterranean in their day; 1t
was for this that Portugal sought pas
sage by sea, and, having found it. was en-
riched as never before or since. It is this
that at the present day swells the wealth Of
Holland, France, and other European ma
tions. What were England without it? 1t
lis for this mainly that Russia is now wading
in blood toward ConstantinopIe; it was in
search OF a shorter passage to this commerce
that America was found-found for us.
how grand our possessions, how indepen-
dent and commanding our position! What
an opportunity for national development,
what variety and completeness Of treasure
Can it be that it is too much for us, and that
we must waste or depreciate any Of it, or
shall we utilize the whole? With gold for
some, silver for others, and teeming pro-
ducts for all, be it ours ere long to control
the commerce OF the world"
