A CARD FRoI SENATOR WATSON
MISTAKE CORRECTED.

EDS. RECORD. UNION Pardon me for troubling
you to correct that portion OF my speech found in
your last issue, wherein am made to say that the
mining counties have been and are paying one-thir
teenth Of the whole tax paid under the debris bill
That would be too gross amstake to allow to go un
corrected said Nevada county alone pays one-thir
teenth of the whole tax. Her water tax is S23 co.,
and her State and district tax sufficient to bring the
amount up to $50 900. The State outside the dis
trict only pays S2i20 C0. The whole district tax is
$4,000. The district portion Of the State tax is
$500 and the water tax paid by the miners is
tax, and she can we'll afford TO, inasmuch as her
citizens own $50 COO 900 worth OF the mines and she
receives half their total yield. San Francisco and
the district pays all the entire taX except $685.
That amount ought not 10 break any Of the other
counties. Yours B. J. WATSON.

Mrs. HAYES SLEIGH. RIDE.-A search
in the loft over the stables belonging to the
Executive mansion in Washington, few
days ago, disclosed an old shabby sleigh
left there by some former administration.
Mrs. Hayes, who is always ready for an
innocent frolic, had it brought out and
horses hitched to it for ride. The vehicle
was so shabby that she directed the driver
to keep off the more public thoroughfares.
While driving through the quieter streets
a small urchin who was playing in the
snow called out, "Please may l ride on
the runner? ?" She laughingly consented,
and soon after he had climbed to his perch
another asked the same favor, to which she
agreed, and presently other boys besought
her for a ride, and she took one on the seat
beside her and allowed another to sit with
the coachman. She gave ALL including
those on the runners, pleasant ride, put
ting them off at their homes before she re-
turned to the White House, leaving them
without a suspicion that they had been
enjoying sleighride with the wife of the
President of the United States.

JOHN BRIGHT AND FREE
TRADE

There have recently been some indi.
cations of a reaction in England
against the policy of free trade. These
have called out letter from Mr.. John
Bright, in which he says: "We all re.
greet that France, the United States of
America, and other countries continue
to maintain their high tariffs. 1t is,
as we believe, a misfortune to them
and injurious to US; but we can only
legislate for our own country, and not
for them. Ifyou think that, not being
able to sell freely, we shall mend our
selves by giving up the power to buy
freely, must leave you to that opin-
ion, only expressing my wonder at it."
In the course of the letter, he refers to
the proposition, which has occasionally
been preached in English journals, of
attempting to compel the United States
to abandon the protective system by
the adoption, on the part of Great
Britain, Of discriminating duties upon
American exports to that country.
The free trade journals here have had
good deal to say about the peril to
WAkCu Au6IICdu COluUlG(CS Is exposed
unless it is averted by conforming our
tariff to English requirements. MIR.
Bright is too discerning to favor such
an attempt, and sees that, if tried, it is
foredoomed to failure. He asks
I" How will you compel its government
to reduce their tariff? By placing
duties Oh American exportsP On cot.
ton for the mills Of Lancashire, or on
corn for the poor of all our people ?"
!" If you fight them at custom house"
he continues, "you can only assail them
by duties on cotton and corn, and this
surely will not benefit Lancashire or
the West Riding. When the debt of
the United States is much reduced,
when their revenue is in excess of their
wants, then their tariff will be reform
ed and their import duties will be re-
duced."
THERE'S no doubt but that free trade
is the true policy of England. She
possesses unequalled facilities as CON-
mercial and manufacturing nation.
