SENATOR CAMERoN AND TIE TOBACCO r1x

Il Il
Senator j. Donald Cameron announces
that he is in favor of taking the tax
Off tobacco on the ground that nearly every
man and boy in the country smokes or chews
the weed, and that the abolition of all Gov
eminent duties upon it would Tighten the bur-
dens of the people. We hope the Pennsylva-
MIA Senator win give this matter little fur
Their reflection before he commits himself by
any step more serious than casual chat with
a reporter to proposition that would deprive
the Treasury of $4,000, 900 of annual rev.
enue. A few years ago the demagogues of
both parties in Congress set up cry
Tor a free breakfast table" and a bill
was rushed through repeating the tariff
on tea and coffee. In the long run nobody
gained by this hasty legislation save the for
elgn producers Of the two articles and q few
importers, but the Government has suffered ever
since loss of $24,O00,0OO of customs reve-
nue., and III consequence many wise measures
lor reducing or repeating other taxes which
Dear directly upon the people have had to be
postponed. We trust it is not the intention
OF man of Senator Cameron's influence to
start similar shOrt-sighted demonstration in
favor of free tobacco.
NO Government tax is as little felt by the
pubhc as that upon tobacco. No man paws it
unless he wants to, and no man feels it when
he pays 1T. There would be five cent cigars
and ten cent cigars and twenty-five cent cigars
IL there were no tax, and men would spend
Just rs much in smoking in the course of n
year as now. The plugs and papers Of chew
ing tobacco might be a little larger, but no.
body would be benefited by being able TO
mastcate little moEe Of the weed at the same
cost. Tobacco is purely luxury. Doctors
may disagree as to whether it's use in modera-
ton is injurious, but no one will claim that
the man who lets it alone is any worse off on
mat account. Therefore the indirect payment
or a tax by the consumer is purely a voluntary
affair. All civilized nations get as mach of
Their incomes as possible from duties on lux
urleS, and all make tobacco ore of the
prime articles in their tax schedules. Some
go so far as to make the manufacture
ana sale OF tobacco n Government monopoly.
IN order to get as large a revenue as possible
from it, This is Objectionable because it in
terferes with the freedom of business. but
there can be no valid argument against
moderate tax, such as is levied in this country.
IL any OF our present revenue duties are TO be
abolished, let us begin with the tax on matches.
which Tails upon an article of daily necessary
use and is gradually degrading the manufac-
ture OF them, and that upon bank-checks.
which Is an annoyance to the business COM
munity.

by the aid of stimuIants he has been tided
over the imminent danger of collapse which
threatened him week ago. If he is TO recover
Nature must now build him up with the aid of
sea air, good nursing, and such attention to
diet, general symptoms and the healing of the
wound as one skilful surgeon who has been in
constant attendance can give as well as a whole
college of doctors.
Perhaps the very fact that he is no longer
the object of hourly professional interest and
sollcltude to so many eminent medical men
VIII have good effect in tending to concen-
trate his mind less upon his own condition.

FEWER NOCT0RN

with the characteristic practical good sense
which has never failed the President dur-ny
the whole period of his sulerings, he decided
to make his departure from the White House
the occasion for reducing his staff of ATTENDING
physicians. The whole of the staff accom-
panied him to Elberon, ana there at his re-
quest Surgcon-Gcneral Barnes and Drs. Wood
ward and Reyburn Withdrew from the ease
and returned to Oheir homes and duties in
Washington. DIR. Bliss, the physician first
called i'll and the one who has since had most
to do with the dressing of the wound and
has followed the daily progress of to
case with the closest attention, remains in
contant attendance, and ORA Agnow ond
Hamilton, whose skill as specialists is of
great Vaiue' continue to be the visiting
and consulting surgeons. The retirement OF
.he Onlee washington colleagues of Dr. Bliss
Is not III the slightest degree u reflection unon
them professionally. Their services have nm
doupteoly been OF great utility at critical ne
riods when there was need of the combined
knowledge OF number of experienced nbv.;-
clans, ana the country owes to them ma we'll
us 10 tneir professional brethren who remain q
debt OF thanks for their devotion and zeoI or5
their long-contnucd sacrifice of narsonal i'm
terests and comfort, but the Presidents casa -
now thoroughly understood in all it's nhases
ana three doctors are as good as City.
indeed, doctors can do little for the naticnt
now beyond determining how mucb nutrimont
he can assimiate and keeping the wound in
as good condition az possible. II ia NOT a casa

beyond the reach of malarial influences and

exchange has ruled against London for the
past two months, and saws:


past two months, and says
moYeme1t IN the exchange decided in character,
which has been checked by the rise in the value
OF money is not likely Immediately. If Amcri
securities goods acceptable in that country drop
to point which renders their transmission profitable
they be taken instead of gold but for the
this does not likely. Our market Is certainly very
bare of United States stock.
The Economist has steadily held that this
country had power to draw q very large sum
from Europe account of large unIiqui-
dated balance from last years trade. If thisis
the fact, any real need for money in this mar
ket will be supplied, not with securities or
goods, but with money. Whether London can
collect the money from the Continent fast
enough to supply its own nee eds, is a matter
which the Bank of England viii have to settle,
but any real need for money here will be met
by imports OF gold, if there are unliquidated
balances abroad, and to the full amount of
those balances if necessary. So too, any bal
ances that may arise in trade this fall will have
to be settled in cash, if the New-York money
market is in need. Hence, we suspect that the
amount of imports of gold for the next three
months will depend less upon the state Of trade
than npon the needs Of the money market here.
England already owes us more than enough to
prevent any serious stringency. Until all dan
ger OF such stingency is removed, it may be
inferred that the rate of exchange will con-
tlnue to invite imports of gold for the settle
ment OF our claims

Our Great Loss.

To-day all Americans re brothers in a
scommon grief A nation mourns its dead
schief-a chief who has become endeared to
35he people in no ordinary measure by these
weeks Of patient and heroic endurance Of
pain and " reallness. In the full maturity Of
lhis greatfaealties, with wish, opportunity and
power to do good things for his veil loved ma
Five land, he has been rudely bereft of that
life which had so much in it for him, for his
family and for us all. The loss is too over
'whelming and the grief too new and oppres-
'sive for fitting expression in words. We
lean only bow our heads and wait with heavy
Ihearts for the first force Of woe to pass.
And that noble wife and mother who has be-
come so near to the American people through
shese grievous weeks, how can The heartfelt
sympathy for her in her great sorrow be
ltoldl From all civilized lands and from all
PUN bosems under the broad canopy Of
heaven there goes to Her ASSURANCE Of fei-
|owship in grief such as rarely prevails
among men.
1t were vain to make historic mention Of
him who has gone. His life is known BY
all his fellow countrynen, the labors and
hardships of his early years, his studious
and manly youth, his courageous, laborious
and devoted manhood, the work and the
triumph in his great career, and the crown
ing spectacle Of patience and fortitude under
protracted suffering, all these are household
words in every American home. His good,
pure and patriotic life furnishes model for
those who are to come after him. he has
died untimely and with much good work un-
done; but he has not lived and died in vain.
The world is better for his presence ID it
and the beneficent influence will last far in
to the future.
