Shall we take the Taxes Off Of
Whisky and double the Faxes
on the Necessities Of Life.

The Government receipts on the
2lst inst, amounted to $6l9,390 from
Internal revenue, collected almost
entirely from taxes on whisky and
manufactured tobacco; and $3.50, ,349
from Import duties, collected in large
measure upon articles Of general util-
ity. Now, if the Protective Tariff
men can have their way next Con-
gress, whisky and manufactured to-
bacco will be enlancipated by a
repeal of the Internal Revenue Act,
ana - burden of taxation will be
transferred from vice to virtue--in
other words the bloats and bummers
will unload and riot in free whisk r,
while the farmers and other working
classes will be doubly freighted.
The revenue for carrying on the
Government has to beraised, and if the
Internal Revenue Act was not in
existence the receipts that we give
above would be printed as follows:
Duties on lmports-principally for
protection-NIay q, S974,739, But
you could get whisky for 30 cents a
gallon.
The Aberdeen examiner. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1866-current, 1883-05-31

commodities that enter into general
consumption in the agricultural re-
gions, and are not produced by our
people.
Whisky is capable of bearing a
heavy burden, and cannot be 80
freighted with taxation as to be
crushed out of existence and this
tax, when paid by the consumer-as
all taxes are-is voluntary offering
and may be withheld or not at any
mans option. But the tariff upon
your hoe or your shirt is tax upon
your necessities, and its exaction and
payment are compulsory.
We fought for years to gain for
the producer Of tobacco the right to
vend his produce in the leaf to con-
sumers-we gained that point last
session. Now we demand for him
the right to sell his tobacco in any
shape or quantity without Internal
revenue taxation, just as he sells his
corn or other produce, and if this is
conceded we do not care how heavily
the taxes are laid upon the non pro-
ducing manufacturers, for the pay,
ment will be optional and voluntary
on the part of the consumers.
We also desire to see the Internal
Revenue Act so amended as to ex-
empt the manufacturers Of liquor
from fruits and grapes from its pros
visions and penalties, for this will
encourage the establishment Of OIL
chards and vineyards all over our
Southern country, and by banishing
whisky prove powerful auxiliary in
the cause of temperance.
So far as whisky and manufactured
tobacco are concerned, we have no
desire to unshackle then, and not the
slightest wish to have the sun of 1884
dawn upon an era of ''cheap whisky
Whisky with the ninety cents per
gallon of Internal Revenue knocked
off would be sold at every cross
roads in the United States at from
twenty to thirty cents gallon, and
the base and dissolute would fairly
swim in it, We have no "haukering
for golden age of that character.
hence we are more than anxious to
see whisky bear as large portion of
the national burden as it can stagger
under, and unwilling that high Pro-
tectionists shall unload and unshackle
this demon in order to transfer it's
heavy cargo of taxation to those
articles of the mine and mill that'are
| already so heavily taxed as to be for
bidden to many of the poor and
needy among our people.
As to Commissioner Raum, he is
happily ont of Office, nor is he likely
to have a SUCCESSOR of Kindred type
but if he is succeeded by man
who is his counterpart, honest men
have little to fear, and it is "better
to endure the ills we have than fly to
| those we know not of.

CLAMATION-FREEDOM FOR WOMEN.
What is the right of the ballot to
woman compared with her privilege Of
enjoying health and happiness in the
charmed circle of her social and domcs-
tic relations? Among the many disCovc-
ries tending to promote the happiness
and advancement of the human race,
nothing is SO intimately connected with
the health and happiness of women--the
centre and source of our highest earthly
cniOyments-as the discovery of Il remc-
dy which meets her peculiar wants, and
fits her for the enjoyment of life, and for
ministering to the happiness of those
with whom she is associated in the tender
relations of sister, wife and mother. This
remedy is found in DR.. J. Bradheld's

Mr.. Vanderbilt, it is said, will be
"commanded"to appear before Queen
Victoria. We would like to see the
old lady command us to do anything,
with a million Of dollars in our vest
pocket. She would get the grand
laugh.-.St. Louis Post Dispatch
A "command," so called,is the only
style of invitation that the etiquette
of the Court of St. James recognizes,
when royalty desires the presence of
subject or private citizen tourist.
As to that "million of dollars" bust
ness, Vanderbilt would turn all of his
vest and breeches pockets inside out
at the palace gates, and supplement
the donation with ton of free passes
and an acre of coupons rather than
miss an opportunity to obey the
Queens "command" to appear before
her.
There is but one instance on record,
we believe, of a command" of this
character having been disregarded or
disobeyed, and the plucky individual
was not an American either, but a
loyal British subject, and Il king in
his own right by the grace of God
given genius-we refer to Charles
Dickens, who, having organized a
company of kindred spirits of both
sexes for "private theatricals," was
ordered to appear with his party be-
fore Her Majesty in one of the popu-
lar rehearsals of the day. The mott
fication from the Lord Chamberlain
was respectfully declined, on the
ground that they were ladies' and
gentlemen who played for their own
amusement and the entertainment Of
their friends, and could only appear
before the Queen upon "an invitation
that recognized their social status
1t is needless to say that royalty
would not, or could not comply.
If Vanderbilt receives a "com-
mand'' to appear, he will put on his
"best bib and tucker" and 60; and
he would be fool if he did not.
