In an article on the proposition now before
Congress to reduce the tax on tobacco from "a
to 16 cents pound. the st. Louis Republican
very sensibly remarks that If the object of the
government Is to get the largest revenue pos
sioie, the tax ought TO be intelligently ad-
lusted to that end; and the statistics Of the
internal revenue show that the highest tax Is
frequently the least productive Prior to 1868
the tax on whisky was 81 gallon, and the
revenue 1t yielded was about $40, ,o0o, 900. In
1868 it was reduced to 50 cents. and the
revenue 1t yielded the first year afterwards
was sa5,000,o00, and the next year $50. .o0O,-
000 The tobacco tax furnishes similar
experience. In 1868, when 1t was 40 cents a
pound, the yield was S15655.630; In 1869 1t
was reduced to 80 cents, and the revenue was
increased to s2343o, ,7Q7; showing a difference
of 81, TITS, TOT in favor of the lower rate In
1872 the 32-cent tax yielded S33, 6,17o. The
next year it was again reduced to 90 cents q
pound, and the revenue was increased to
S34, 1856, Boa difference OF $3.50 1877 In favor of
the lower rate. In 1875 the tax was increased
TO a cents and this tax in i9-7 n led SAL

greater II the tax had been lower. and that II
the rate should now be reduced to 16 cents a

in favor of q more reasonable excise.

The American Exporter recently published
an article on the increase of the cotton trade
from which we gather some interesting facts.
In the decade 1910 1850 the United States sun
piled almost 81 per cent of the whole importa-
tion into Great Britain, and in the decade i'm
mediately preceding the war furnished nearly
7s per cent while the four years from 1862 to
1865 inclusive the average yearly supply was
less than per cent, and In the year 1863 it
was less than l per cent of the whole British
consumption Of cotton. The first year subse
quent to the war showed a sudden increase to
37.75 per cent, from 1888 per cent in 1865, and
this proportion has continually advanced. un-
til In 1877 the percentage reached 6723, Just
equaling In proportion the year 1857, and in
quantity the year 1860. in which latter year
the largest crop was produced. The amount
furnished the parent country by the British
possessions in the East Indies during our "un-
pleasantness," which averaged for several
years over 5oo,o0o,ooo pounds, has fallen off so
largely that the quantity In 1877 was less than
194oooooo pounds

Monday, February III, was II dark,
rainy day in the South Atlantic
ocean, and the schooner Carrie Long,
of Stockton, Maine, on her voyage
from Buenos Ayres to New York
had reached point just south of the
equator, and about 200 miles from
the Brazilian coast, when the lookout
discovered man on frail raft fol-
lowed by a school of sharks. He
was picked up and said that his
name was Manuel Francisco, and
that he had been at sea for ten days
when rescued.
Originally there were three on the
raft, but one had been washed over
board and devoured by sharks be-
fore his eyes, before they were two
DAYS out. The second died from
exhaustion on the fourth day. He
threw his body to the sharks, think
ing in that way to cause them to
quit following the raft, but they
only followed him the more intently.
He dared not sleep for fear OF walk
ing off the raft into their open jaws.
His supply of water gave ont ON
the sixth day, and thirst was added
to the loss of sleep. His only food
was bread, which had become musty
from long confinement III a Kerosene
can, and the eating which only adj
ded to his thirst without satisfying
his hunger, and his suiferings be-
came SO intense that he was about
To cast himself to the sharks, when
the Carrie Long hove in sight
Francisco and companions were es-
capped convicts from the Brazilian
penal island ot Fernando NOronha
He was committed for small theft
and escaped on the raft after serv-
ing three years.

The Right Way.

Teach people how they can help
themselves. and yOu have given
them Il push in the right direction.
Show men that they must earn a
farm or go without one. There is
a class who are always wanting as
sistance. Give them farm, and
You will most likely be called mp to
paw their taxes also. Set them up
every spring, and they will be down
again in the winter. This latter
class certainly do not deserve help,
although they would probably be
among the first to avail themselves
of it. Many boys are educated to
believe that they can only get along
by depending upon the 'old man.
girls are taught that they vii be
helpless unless they catch husbands
to act as their guides and protectors,
and now comes a set of philosophers
who prophesy that both will be fall-
ures unless the government ''backs
them up" Such teachings are worse
than foolish; they are wicked.
Teach your boys and girls that they
must work or starve, and yon have
given them substantial help.

The Treaty Of San stefanO.

The changes in tia treaty of San
StefanO which correspondent of
the Daily News suggests i'll an able
letter from COnstantinople are these:
/. The substitution of an lnterna
tional commission for the Russian
commissioner TO introduce the new
institutions of Bulgaria. 2. A COM
mission to take the census, with the
view of correcting the frontier on
the West, if need be. 3. Extension
of the boundary of Bulgaria to the
Martha on the southeast, so us to
give the port of Enos 10 the new
principality. 4. The absolute neu-
tralily of Bulgaria under the guar
anty of Europe or of England, thus
preventing the possibility of Rus
sian army ever again marching up
on ConstantinOple without meeting
an English army on the banks Of the
Danube. 5. Administrative auton-
omy for Thessaly, Epirus and Alba
MIA, with a view to their ultimate
gravitatiOn toward Greece. Admin
istrative autonomy for Bosnia, with
view to its ultimate union with
Servia and Bulgaria. 6. Admins
trative reforms introduced into all
ether parts of the Ottoman empire
by means of an international com
mission, thus taking from Russia the
possibility of "a future pretext fol
interference on behalf Of the Chris
tians.

The Red River appropriation
Hill.
New Orleans Democrat. !

Hearing of the return from Wash
ing of Capt. Jos. A. Aiken, president
of the New Orleans and Red River
Transportation Company, and feel
ing sure that he was the bearer OF
good news, reporter of this paper
called upon the captain and found
him as healthy looking, alniabie and
courteous as before. We asked him
some questions on the success OF his
mission to Washington, and secured
most interesting data:
IL found" said Capt. Aiken, "the
prospects for getting our Red river
appropriation very good. Our hopes
are to have the river SO improved as
to secure good navigation and low
rates of freight all the year round.
Our city has, III Il great measnrs,
| lost its North Louisiana and Texas
trade because of the annual inter
ruption to navigation caused by low
water every fall. There is always
plenty of water passing Shreveport
to give good navigation out to the
Mississippi if it We're properly util-
lied. When the river is improved,
as we ask for, we hope TO be able
not only to bring back the trade We
formerly had, but To also bring the
surplus grain of Texas in barges, in
bulk, IN the SAME way it is now
brought down the Mississippi. With
Red river improved To its proper ca
pacity, and the railroads completed
to Texas, our city will then stand
to that great and growing State as
New York does To the great West.
"No, we don't oppose the railroad;
on the contrary, | think | have
taken about as much stock in Col.
| Whcelock's road us any man of my
means in this city. The completion
OF that road will bring Texas mer-
chants here to buy goods, and the
steamboat men are wiling to take
their chance of getting share Of
what they may buy.
"ies, | closed contract for carry'
ing the mail three times week dur
ing the cotton season, and twice n
week during the balance OF the year
This is something that the Red
river people have been asking fol
long time, and am sure they
will heartily appreciate the favor'
thus shown them by POSTMASTER
General Key and his assistant, Gen
Brady.
~ found Cod. Robertson hard "a
work with his ievee committee, bu
he has some men on it who do no

lie Is now showing them that levee
deepen rivers and improve naviga
ton, which they certainly do, AM
) hopes to ultimately succeed on tina
line of argument. If our people ant
press would unite on this theory, o
rather demonstrated fact, it woul,
I certainly hasten the levee appropri
alton.
"t,very man Of our delegation
seems anxious to surpass the other
in securing legislation to help on
State. One of them said to me
'lou may tell your people that Lou
LLAMA will get more from this Con
gress than she has from amy ON
since she became II State, and
. think results will prove his word
