WHO PAYS THE TAXES WHICH
RUN THE GOVERNMET.

Sometimes we read O Democratic
paper which says lowering the tax on
whiskey and tobacco on the plea that
the South and West, which produce
whiskey and tobacco, bear an unjust
part Of the taxation which goes to pay
the expenses of running our ''uncle
Samuels's' Government. The Dom
ocratic editors who talk this way are
either ignoramuses or are deliberately
endeavoring to deceive and hood
wink the honest farmers, mechanics
and laboring men of tho country.
Every sensible man ought to know
that the greater part Of any revenue
tax is finally paid by the consumer
and not by the producer, and that the
man who takes his cigar Oh his glass
of whiskey or buys his plug of tobac-
co in New York, Boston or Cincin
natl pays the greater part of the tax
about which these Southern Demo-
cratic editors make such q foolish
complaint. These editors also know,
or ought to kaow, that tho consump
ton Of whiskey and tobacco is so
general throughout the country that
1T will he hard to find q tax more
eqsitably and evenly distributed and
adjusted than the tax on these arti-
Giles. Another point for these bull
doing, Union-hating grumblers to
consider is that the people of the
Eastern and Middle States consume
more of the articles imported from
foreign countries such as silk and sat
ms, Kid gloves, pcrfumery, and cham
payne, madeira and other fine wines
and therefore pay very largely NOR
than their share of the customs taxes
which constitute nearly half of tn
National revenues. If there is an,
complaint to be made about "ineou
table taxes" the yankees" arc tn
people to make it.
Finally, wo would remind. on
Democratic friends. tina
every sensible man in Europe, Asia
Africa or America is well satisfied O
the great economic truth that tn
consumer and not the producer is tn
chief tax payer.

A FEW FIGURES.

1t is asserted by the Democracy,
and many Republicans have fallen
into the belief that Maj. Pettibone's
defeat was the result of his personal
unpopularity in his own party and,
not, as we have insisted, due to the
malignant hatred evinced toward him
by the Democracy, which had the eff.
feet Of calling forth their most stren-
uous efforts and their most unscrupu-
lous and unprincipaled tactics in man.

votes than any Republican ever re-
ceiyed in an off year. Mr.. Butler
was in 1868 and 1870 the most pop
ular man in the District, and could
have carried it over any opposition,
and yet he receives in 1868, a Pres
idential year, S53 less votes than Pet
tibone in 1878, an off year, and in
1870, 1876 less than Maj. P. in 1878,
both being off years. And yet, with
these facts staring them in the face
we find a few men who fear that he
will stand in their way in the future,
ascribing his defeat to personal un-
popularity, and using this as an ar
gument against his denomination.
A study Of the figures we have given,
which may be relied upon as official,
and which we are prepared to verify
to satisfy any one who doubts their
correctness, will convince any fair
minded mar of the great injustice
done to Maj. Pettibone, and his en-
emies will have to use q more plaus-
ible argument than they have yet
put forward before they can con-
vince the Republican party that he
is not the most available man it can
put forward for Congress in the com
ing race.

the following call:
The National Democratic Committee
having met in the City of Washing
ton on the 23d of February, 1886
has appointed Tuesday, the 22d
OF June next, at noon, as the time, and
chosen the city of Cincinnati as the
place of holding the National Demo
cratic Convention. Each State is enti-
tied to representation therein equal
to double the number of its Senators
and Representatives in the Congress of
the United States. All Democratic,
Conservative and other citizens of the
United States, irrespective of past DO
ltical associations or differences, who
can unite with US in an effort for pure,
economical and constitutional govern
ment, are cordially invited to Join in
sending delegates to the Convention.
At the last National Democratic Con-
vention, held in the city of st. Louis in
1876, the following resolution was
adopted:
heotved, That the States be requested TO
instruct their delegates to the National Dem
oeratic Convention to be held in 1880, wheth

Smith, however, calls attention TO the
fact that such predictions are made la
BILE TO error by the lack of accurate data
concerning the maxima minama of sun
spots or the periods of greatest and
least apparent disturbances in the solar
globe, upon which the predictions are
based. According to his observations
the heat waves follow the periods of
fewest or no spots. The last spot
minimum occurred in 1873. A cold
wave accompanied it, eliminating in
the winter OF 1879. Professor Smith
says these cold waves are less regular
and directly of solar origin than heat
waves. The later manifest themselves
when the forces of new spot-cycle be-
