conducting a campaign, called the Greenback

THE Richmond WAY State Oem.) thus meets
one of the highly moral arguments of the Protec-
tionists "As to the social evil, we agree with our
correspondent that starvation is the enemy of
virtue, but we do not agree with him that the
fear of starvation and its most horrible conse-
quence viii increase In case the people refuse
longer to pay bounties to Protectionists. For the
abolition of protection will not increase the price
of food, and. moreover it viii lower the price Of
clothing. The cost of living WILL therefore, be

THOMAS G. SHEARMAS, in one of his "short
talks on free trade" published in the Iowa State
Leader, says: 81 am in favor of a tax on the land
and nothing else; and that under an assessment
which should estimate only the bare land, with
out the cost of buildings fences. crops drains,
any improvements whatever. This value can be
easily ascertained. The market value of land de-
ponds so much upon the amount of personal
property collected on or near it, that taxes
would be distributed more nearly in pro-
portion to the amount of personal prop
erty than could be done in any other way
So far from the burden of taxation being thrown
more heavily upon farmers than now, the proper
ton paid by cities and villages would probably be
greater than now in actual direct taxation; while
the farming class would be relieved from the enor
nous burden which it now bears in direct taxa

sclibes them: "If ever two people looked the EN-.
bodiment of woe it was these two. Both seemed
to be clad in the garb of despair; the very car
riage and horses appeared as if mufled in Grape.
The faces of the Premier and his wife were
really agonized in expression. They
bore not the placid, stricken look
which recent sorrow gives; every lineament
bespoke active anguish, excited terror. They
were talking earnestly and rapidly, and paid not
the slightest attention to the passing throng.
Every eye was on them, but they looked at no
one. The strong, impressive features of this
great old mans face were a sight l never shall
