REPRESENTATIVE HoUK, of Tennes-
see, whose defense against a specific
accusation of drunkenness was that he
had not been drunk for at least two
weeks, has a certain amount of sense
in his campaign for re- election. In
stead of making diplay of himself
at home, he has gone to Washington
to milk Jay A. Hubbell's Committee
out of sufficient funds to make his
calling and election sure.-[Philadel-

The Chicago Tribune is the organ of
the Republican party in the North
west, aud speaks for the great agricul-
tural region tributary to that center.
1t is the most vociferous free trade
journal in the country, and concludes
an editorial OH the subject as follows {:
Naturally, the Iowa or Michigan
man answers that he will make the
exchange with the Englishman, but is
informed that he will in order to bring
the United States Treasury Sd 900 tax,
that tax being to support the Govern
ment. What, therefore, he will next
inquire, is the $4,000 for which the
Boston manufacturer proposes to take
Is that also for the support of the Gov
ernment? And he will be answered :
That $4, ,00C which is taken from the
$lO, 600 earnings of your farm. or the
900 bushels of wheat taken from your
crop, is taken from you who earned it
by your labor, and given as a donation
and bounty by the Government to the
respectable but needy gentleman who
is the proprietor of an infant industry,
and who must be supported at the
public cost, whether crops grow or fail,
and vino must have his dividends to
enable him to spend his money liber-
ally in Paris every year." If the in
credulous farmer asks by what right
his hard earned money be taken and
gwen TO another, he will be answered
| that protection is the new religion that
has superseded truth, honesty and
Christianity-whose precept is that
those who toll must support those who
| do not.
If the Iowa or Michigan farmer asks
who made that law he must be teld il
was made by Congress, and that The
member from his district, for whom he
intends to vote this fall, not only ad
vocated that law, but has resisted its
repeal, and within the last thirty days
boldly and defiantly voted in Congress
against, and defeated, bill limiting
the amount taken as bounty or gift by
the manufacturer to sixty per cent.
Now, if the farmers of Iowa ant
Michigan had during the last twenty
yeats, been allowed TO possess wha

October election:
For Sheriff, William Wilcox;
For Recorder, Philo Bierce;

For Coroner, A. II. Barlow.

the offices for which they have been

A GREAT portion of the people of
the United States are really unaware
of the vast sum of money they annu-
ally pay in the way of indirect taxes.
While they undoubtedly feel the bur-
den, they seem unable to understand
it, and they go on year after year pay
ing them, without an effort to relieve
themselves of the heavy burden. Last
year the people of the United States
paid indirect taxes as follows:
Tariff to government........$21 ,67S IS
Tariff to manufacturers. sos, ,000, 900
Internal ReVenue.............. 146, l47 ,976
M miscellaneous ................-... 81 ,O34 ,6iu
TOtal......... .-....-..-.......$9 5000 ,46l ,2o4
This enormous sum entails tax, in
addition to the direct State, County
and Municipal Tax of $500 for each
man, woman and child in the land.
