LIT Us HAVE THE BELL REGISTER
TX TENNESSEE.

The Mofett liquor register in use in
all the saloons in Virginia win realize
for that State this year an aggregate
ofsix hundred thousand dollars, against
two hundred and sixty thousand Sc
cured last year under the old license
oystem. Saloon keepers are in love
with this system. They and the State
make by it. See what the New York
San says of the plan elsewhere in this
issue. Tennessee needs Just such a
system Of tax collection. The people
will not and should net endorse in
creased taxation as long as hundreds
OF thousands of dollars are annually
squandered for the want Of proper
legislative retrenchment in the public
service, and as long as such a feasible
bell-register plan is within practical
reach of the people. Public men,
liquor dealers, bar-tenders, farmers
and mechanics, ali favor it where it is
tried. Farmers endorse it because it
removes a heavy burden Of taxation
from their shoulders Public men
sustain it because it promotes public
morals, and gets tax out of those
who generally never pay one. The
saloon keeper favors it because it kills
the credit system and is a check upon
kis bartender. An intelligent cor
respondent writes:
OF course the dealers have raised
the price Of whisky from ten to fifteen
cents a glass. If man takes drink
alone he pays his fifteen cents, thus
giving two and-a-half cents to the State
and adding a like sum to the profits of
the seller. If two take a drink to
gether they get it for twenty cents,
the State in this case receiving the
extra five cents. If a man treats two
persons he pays forty cents, the State
getting seven and-a-half cents and the
seller an additional profit Of two and
a-half cents. For every odd drink
the liquor dealer secures this extra
profit, and it would be singular indeed
if he should revile a law that puts
money in his pocket. Besides this it
keeps bummers away from his saloon,
and entirely stops the credit system !;
for q man must have a hard cheek
who asks another to pay two and-a-half
cents for the privilege of trusting him.
So much for the dealer. The bar
tender is satisfied, probably because
the law gives him an opportunity to
"knock down" the extra two and-a-half
cents without fear Of detection.
The New York Assembly, and chat
of Massachusetts also, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, ST. Louis, and other States
and cities, are favoring and adopting
this system, because it is ready and
convenient way to raise funds. High
and low tax men, State-credit men
and repudiaters, can all meet on this
platform and shake hands.
Let us have it in Tennessee.

Beautiful Sentiments.

The beautiful extract below is from
the pen Of Hon. Geo. S. billiard:
81 confess that increasing years
bring with them an Increasing respect
for men who do rot succeed in Ito as
those words are commonly used. Heay-
en- Is said TO be 4 place for those who
have not succeeded on earth; and it is
surely true, celestial graces do not
best thrive and bloom in the hot blaze
Of worldly prosperity. Ill success
sometimes arise from a superabun-
dance Of qualities in themselves good
from a conscience too sensitive, taste
too fastidious, & self-forgetfulness too
retiring. / viii not 60 so far as to
say, with living poet, that the world
knows nothing OF It's greatest mcn,"
but there are forms Of greatness or at
least excellence, which ''die and make
no sign" there are martys that miss
the palm but not the stake; heroes
without the laurel, and conquerors
without the triumph"

THE QUACK DOCTORS AND THEIR
WORK.

The quack medicine advertised to
the country through the newly in
vented sugar-coated process Of the
celebrated DR.. Gold Bond is drench-
ing the life out of the body polite.
Utter prostration is the effect Of this
ruinous drastic treatment. When the
United States emerged from the civil
struggle, torn and bleeding at every
pore, she needed careful hospital nurs-
ing to heal decorations and allay the
scorching internal fever Forthwith
certain financial practitioners, who
were warmed and fattened into vigor
during the war, undertook to prescribe
for this patient the Government.
These men had been Eurepeanized in
their professional views; they had
fully imbibed the principles of German
and English financial scientists, and
held the doctrine that America was
too plethoric, her monied habits too
full, and that leeching, cupping and
blistering could only reduce the patient
to normal national health. They went
% work, and as = result Of their mali
ciously false and criminal management
Of the case, the country Is utterly
Frustrated and its strength wasted. In
making q partial diagnosis Of our ma
tional condition, it is notorious fact
that the commercial, manufacturing
and all industrial interests are drifting
hopelessly into bankruptcy. Though
gold has dropped TO par with green
backs--though the largest crop ever
made in this country has been gath
ered-and the balance of trade is in
our favor, precious metals being ship
ped in large quantities to the United
StateB-what is the business record Of
the year? Nine thousand firms failed,
with liabilities Of two hundred million
dollars; the Government revenue short
twenty million dollars; national debt
incr, ,sed twenty-six millions; States,
cities, towns and counties insolYent !;
nearly four million laboring men idle;
eastern mills and factories closing, and
sixty thousand factory hands in little
Rhode Island without work and bread.
Moreover, tradesmen are falling daily;
banks bursting every week; money in
the West twenty-five per cent, on good
security, and iii the East only on
bonds; millions on the verge Of starva-
ton; taxes unpaid and debts uucol-
lected. In the face Of this dark and
dismal but truthful showing, what Of
the future? But little hope skirts the
horizon. The volume Of money, which
was reduced by the million last year,
il to be reduced by the hundred million
this year, through the fundamentally
OF IL tifty-year four-per-cent coin-5ond,
which is to be exchanged for green
backs; and the bonded coin debt is to be
largely increased, while the running
expenses of the Government are far
below revenue receipts.
Such are the effects Of the nostrums
given the country by those gilt-edged
medicine men,. The people are their
slaves, and they administer what drugs
they see fit to prescribe.
o! for revolution that will sweep
such piratical crew from the deck of
our Ship of State. If peaceful legis-
lation prove abortive to remedy these
ills, might will become right, in the
Last extremity. Patriotic statesman
