LETTING DOWN THE BARS on
BONDED WHISKY.

The bonded whisky bill which is ere
ating such q stir among distillerS and
others is shrewd piece of legislation,
involving millions of dollars.
The bin was originally offered by Mr..
DoNNEL.L, endorsed by RAUM, the COM
missioner of internal revenue, ami was
passed by the House on such recon-
mendation. But it stopped short in the
Senate, and has stirred up such a row
in that body as no other measure of the
session has equaled.
There are now in bond about seventy
five million gallons of whisky, the tax
on which being 80 cent a gallon, Is
about So ,0e0, 900. This tax is not pay
able until the spirits are sold or with
drawn from the warehouse, provided
the term does not exceed three years.
These are the provisions Of the famous
act passed in 1880, and introduced by
Mr.. CARLISLE, of Kentucky, State IA
NOUS for its distiIeries, blOOded stock
and blue grass.
But prior to the passage Of the last
amendment, the bonded period was
fixed by joint resolution to three yeane
and a tax Of five per cent. was to be
charged on whisky that remained over

We do not desire to interfere with the
little tilt now going on between the two
morning papers OF Wheeling, on the subject
of redistricting the State of West Virginia
and Ohio. This controversy arose by reason
of an item in the NewS of last week in
which we asked our cotemporary of the
htciHgcncer for his opinion in regard to the
manner in which the Republican Legisla
ture of Ohio had gObbed up large majority
of the districts of that State. This We did
by reason of the loud complaints made by
the editor of that paper OF the manner in
which the Democrats had redistricted West
Virginia. But the editor OF the REGISTER
took the wind out of our sails by his clear
and lucid reply to his down street neigh
Dor. Now let brother Campbell close the
controversy by publishing Il map of the
State of Ohio since its redStricting by a
Republican Legislature.

rPsHUR COUNTY our OF THE
WOODS.

The people of Upshur county have
voted their subscription to the extern
sion of the Weston railroad to Buck
harmon, which lets Upshur county out
of the woods.
We congratulate the people of that
section of the State upon their promised
deliverance from an isolation that rem
dered life hardly worth living and all
effort at lettering their condition,
tedious and disheartening.
Their courage and enterprise in taking
hold of this project will not only do them
good, but it will do other counties good.
The railroad fever will spread to Barbour
and to Preston and to MOnOngalia and
other counties where railroad commune
cation is so much desired.
For the sum of $4,000 BuckhannOn
secures this connection with the Weston
Narrow Gauge road and thereby with
the Il. 4 o. and the rest of the world.
This means an increase of population,
an increase of wealth and prosperity to
that people, and the development of
one of the best sections Ofthe State. 1t
is the best investment Upshur county
ever made or could make. 1t required
hard work to lead the voters up to the
point, and it was by the closest shave
that the subscription was voted, but not
one man in all that section will regret
it when the road is opened. 1t will
give the town of Buekhannon the
prominence to which its central posi-
ton in the State and its fine country Ell
titles it. They have done well. Now

one year in bond. When the whisky
was placed on deposit abond was exact
ed for double the amount Of the total
tax and its payment on the, withdrawal
Of the whisky from Che warehouse.
BY the CARLIsI.B bill, which origina-
ted the notorious whisky ring, three
years storage without interest Were
granted and the bond was reduced to
the amount ofthe tax on all high wines,
spirits, etc.
Now, under the provisions Of the bill
in question, which has recently passed
the House, the whisky owners win have.
unlimited time, give no more than a
nominal security for the payment Of the
tax, and as can be seen, under such con-
ditions viii have splendid opportunity
to corner the spirit market.
There is now said to be about a six
years supply of fine whisky in the
country. Should the owners decline re-
newing their annual bonds and compel
the Government to sell the whisky to
collect the tax, which is three times the
value of the whisky, the owners can
buy it in at the reduced rates. AL
though the law stipulstesthat the whis-
Ky shall not be sold for less than the
amount of the tax, yetwhen it also pro-
vides three-years' limit the amount of
the tax Overruns the value OF the whis-
ky. The bill, on its face, seems reason
able and equitable, but its practical
workings would in the course of a
couple of years probably divert fifty
millions of dollars from the Treasury.

1t is eminently fair to give corn credit
for at least so per cent. of this amount,
which adds vastly to its dignity as a
leading agricultural product. But corn,
more than any other crop, helps to sup
port the government, and i'm this regard
its kingly prerogatives admit of no dis
pute. During the year 1881 about go
600, 600 bushels OfcOrn were consumed in
the manufacture of whisky, upon which
the government collected over SCI, 0O0,-
900 revenue, and since 1868, corn, in
the way of spirits, has given the govern
ment revenue to the amount of more
than $500, 100000. If such facts and
figures do not crown corn King IN the
realm of American agriculture, it is be-
cause facts and figures are not required
when title to nobility is in question.
If on such occasions rank becomes a
simple question of force, We have no
hesitaney in leaving corn, with his silk
and tassels, to fight it out with wheat

His Peck of Trouble.

WV ' FTVINI'I IlIIItII|II
Tie editor of the Wheeling REGISTER is a
very versatile youngster, indeed. Without
taking breath Of more than five drinks, he
will spin out a column on railroads, give us
a heavy leader on politics, take us from "a"
to lizard in agriculture, reel off half
dozen sticks about the spring bonnet, tell
the young men what kind of women they
should marry, and tell score of campaign
"doubtfuls"
There is just one thing he can't do-only
one-and that is, divert the Radical and its
Republican colleagues long enough to get
them TO forget West Virginia and say some
thing about the Ohio gerrymander.

A COMPANY has been formed ia New
York to put in operation ''secret tele-
phone" 1t is called the secret tele-
phone because when two persons are
talking no one else, although he may
be on the same line, can hear. Instead
of using straight line, circuit is form
ed, SO that the two extreme ends of the
wire meet, and each box is cut OFF by a
wheel turned by electricity. Thus there
may be dozen boxes on the line, but
from those not in direct communication
nothing can be heard but unintelligible
sounds.

IL CORN KING=

The season for blowing and planting
in this latitude being at hand, our
readers, We conclude, will not object
to a few facts and figures relating to
corn. 1t has been the custom, when
discussing agricultural products, to as
sign to corn an inferior rank as COM
pared with wheat and cotton; in fact,
there are a number of products which,
in commercial circles, have had prece-
dence, when, in fact, corn is rightfully
king, and should have long since been
crowned and recognized as such.
Let US see; statistics for 1879 give
sum totals of production and value as
follows:
Articles. Production. Value.
Corn So 90l,7O S5SO,F6,2lI
Wheat, buShels-...-....- +sSys56.6SO I)7,08,lR
Cotton raw pounds. -2y567 ,5iO,9CO 2i2'lIJ,ss7
Here We have it that in both weight
and value corn takes its rightful place
at the head of the list. IL We were to
select any other year during the last
decade results would be comparatively
the same-eOrn would be king.
The increased production of corn from
1870 to 1880 indicates its great value.
The production for 1870 was 1924, $40
bushels, while in 1880 it amounted to
1,754, 1861, $50 bushels, a gain in ten
years of 993, 9l7 ,Ol6 buShels-more than
100 per cent. of the product Of
1881. There was exported $685.
147 bushels valued 81, 81, 800, while the
exports of wheat amount to Sl67, sos, 4S5
and the exports of cotton to S247, $685.
746, and it is these export figures that
are considered when the rank to be as
signed to corn as an agricultural pro-
duct is under consideration. But this is
scarcely fair, for it must be taken into
consideration that corn is exported in
vast quantities in the shape of bacon,
beef pork, lard, butter and cheese, and
in justice to corn 1t may be well to give
few figures relating to the export of
articles in which it was largely repre-,
scented for the year lSSl:

THE little town of Ravenswood, down
the river, is laying claims to being quite
q commercial point. This is what the
editor of the Parkersburg Freeman found
doing there:
The products handled and shipped
here during the year past, embraced be-
tween 100 and 500 hogsheads of tobacco,
nearly 100000 pounds of wool, immense
quantities Of slaves, lumber and hoop
poles, besides the continuous wagon
train loads of chickens, eggs, bees-wax,
ginseng, etc, etc, that come from the
back country. Wagons by the dozen,
and sometimes scores may be seen in
trains, winding in on the Ripley road,
many of which bring slaves and lumber
thirty or forty miles. MeSsrs. Williams
and Wetzel bought $4,000 slaves the
past season on the Flat Fork of Poca,
thirty-six miles from Ravenswood.

the failure of the former to invite the

that the President has formed new
plans, looking to denomination, since
that time, and is making his appoint

RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

Only a few days ago the greatest
American poet was laid to rest at Cam
bridge; and in the death of RALPH
WALDO EMERSON. which occurred yes
terday, the most famous American phi
losopher has FpaSsed away, at the adj
vanced age of 20.
For more than forty years Mr.. EMER-
son has been the acknowledged leader
of the transcendental school of philoso-,
phy in New England, and as finished
writer and profound thinker he has
worldwide reputation.
He has been a yoluminOus writer and
his intellectual gems are profusely sown
throughout his pages according to no
visible or conscious method, and with
settings that seem quite accidental; but
they glow with genuine lustre
wherever found. To the arts and pro-
cesses ofthe logican he pays no regard,
evidently thinking that they tend to
belittle, rather than exalt, the truth. He
simply affirms what he believes, making
his appeal at every step to the moral in
buttons Pf the reader, in the faith that
the "spirit of man is the candle of the
Lord" with power of illumination
adapted to every emergency.
Religiously, EMERSON was thought to
incline to Pantheism in his early litera-
~ life. One of the most criticised SEN
fences in his address of 1888 was the
statement: 1.-THE assumption that the
age of inspiration is past, that the Bible
is closed, the fear of degrading the char
acter Of JESUS by representing him as
man, indicate with sufficient clearness
the falsehood of our theology" In his
closing years, according to his
friend ALCOTT, he wanted to
be called christian theist," adding,
you must not leave out the word
Christian, for to leave that out is to
leavc'Out everything" One of his sons,
however, has denied that his views
Were essentially changed from first to
ldSl. Ii tllS II TRUE, the Cu1ISc VI pau
theism is unjust. In his Preacher he
says: "UnlOvely, nay frightful, is the
solitude of the soul which is without
GOD i'm the world. This chill,
houseleSs, fatherless, aimless CAIN, the
man who hears only the sound of his
own footsteps in GODS resplendent Gre
atom"
EMERSON was a despiser of consist
ency, terming it the vice of an ignoble
mind. He rose above petty details, and
his works are rather a confused pile of
thought gems, than an orderly array Of
principles. He makes no attempt to
argue his readers into any position. He
simply tells what he believes, sure that
the truth will speak for ITSELF witness
ing itself to the inner light that lighteth
every man. Of his genius there can be
no doubt. He will ever hold a place
among the first ranks of suggestive
thinkers. None can read him without
benefit, if they do not mistake his fancieS
for sober truth instead of brilliant illus
trations of certain phases of that truth.
He was eminently mystic, not re-
cOrCler of hard facts.

eff Hancock is elected, this estab-
lishment will clOse.'' ''If you want
your iron mills closed, and all indus
tries dependent upon them brought to
a stand still, vote for Hancock"
The above expressions #er6 common
in republican papers in 1880, and many
workingmen were frightened and de-
ceived into voting the republican tick
ct at that time. Hancock was not e.
lected, but Garfield was, and what has
been the result Have "better wages''
followed his elec tion No; the miners
of this county are getting only ninety
cents per day now. Has ''SteadY work"
been assured" to the men in the iron
mills and elsewhere No; there are
now one hundred and 1fty thousand
men in general idleness," and who
did not reach this pittiable condition
by the election of General Hancock.
The roseate times promised to follow
the election of General Garfield haye
not come, but instead, strikes for high
er wages and general idleness" have.
The republicans can not get rid of the
logical effect of their own proposition.
Two years have passed since the last
presidential election, land although Han
cock was not elected, the iron mills, as
said, are closed, and over one hundred
thousand workingmen are out of work.
Had that Of 1880 been the first attempt
made by republicans to deceive the la
boring men, there might be some ex-
cuse, but it was not. Time and again
has this same old story been rehashed
and the wOrkingman bitten by the ly-
ing bait every time. It is about time
they are gei ting their eyes open 10 the I
own interests.
