number Of eypridns lsome put IL as high rs sixty

st. John was especially indignant over this
fact. and urged upon me the principle that govern
ment has no more right to live by taxing vice than
individual. On the moral ground can not agree
with him, though on economic grounds believe all
indirect taxes are wrong The individual Il. or
vdual has sort Of excuse for drawing his support
either from the yirtuous vicious the Government
must do one or the other for Of itseft can indeed
do nothing All the legislative bodies in the world
acting such, cannot produce grain of corn; IT
IL simply an economic question whether they shall
take their needed cash from the proceed. Of vice or
industry. and in taking it they neither degrade the
one nor dignity the other I have observed in my

specific tax They like ny aunt in Tennessee,
who could not take calomel without horrible suffer

Derby city, and n delightful place to live. | have
been here six days and have not seen drunk man

his companions quietly locked arms with him, walk
ell him TO their teams and the whole party were
out Of town in three minutes ] suppose there il n
wholesome dread Of the police, and that known
drunkard can not buy liquor easily.
