A little calculation anout the c

A little calculation about the con-
sumers cost of the spirits and beer
used annually in Illinois has led the
st. Louis Republican to similar cal
culation for the whole country. We
know frora the government statistics
that there are about 10000 liquor
dealers in the country, If they have
an income of about SIS day, the Re-
publican finds that the total is $780,
10000 annually. During the latest
fiscal year taxes were paid on about
100000 gallons of spirits and nearly
100000 barrels of beer. A gallon Of
spirits is said TO make nearly a hum
6rad drinks, costing about ten cents
each, thus yielding about $720,O00OOO.
The beer consumed is about 4,216, ,OOO.-
600 pints, which at five cents a pint
makes about S2l0, ,QQ00GO. Thus, in
two different ways, the conclusion is
arrived at that the people of this
country p;ty annually for the beer and
whisky which they drink $3.50 Coz, 600

THE revised tariff that went into
effect on the 1st of July is a bare sub
terfuge. Most chemical products pay
lower rates, but the duty on boraX is
increased, and the tax on opium is
nearly doubled. Pepper has been put
on the free list. Crockery and glass
ware pays from 10 to so per cent more
than under the old tariff. The duty
on iron and its manufactures is gen
orally lower, but iron ore and
wrought iron are exceptions. The
chief reduction is in railway bars.
Sugar pays from 25 to 80 per cent less.
and tests are to be made by the polari-
scope. Tobacco wrappers pay double
what they did. The duties on cotton
and cotton goods are very slightly re-
duced, while those on hemp, iute and
flax goods remain about the same, and
so do those on silk and silk goods.
The duties on wool and woolen goods
are not materially reduced. The duty
on paper and dried pulp is lower.
Some other articles are put on the free
list, including macaroni and engrav-
ings, and on etchings, more than
twenty years old. The duty on paint
ings and sculptures, on the other
hand. is increased from 10 to 30 per

ly imported, the price of both the for
eign and domestic materials goes up
with every advance in the tariff; and
thus the manufacturer has to pay
more for his materials, without being
able to get more for his goods.
THE STATESMAN does not admit that
the time has arrived when this per-
nicious system may be uprooted.
Conceived in great injustice, it has be-
come so engrafted in our body polite
that complete transition must neces-
sarily be retarded. But the
tine has come when great re-
lief may be effected, and the next con-
gress should not be slow to do that
which was fraudulently done by the
last congress. Free trade is the true
theory, but it cannot be resorted to at
once, since the practices of Republi-
canism has, temporarily at least, made
it impossible. We are satisfied duties
may be reduced one-half by the next
congress, and then it will be seen
that revenue increases and does not
diminish, and the good work may go
on from year to year until this gov
ernment for monopolies will have
been superseded by one for the people.

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation OF
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the 0Rly sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor

New YORK. Feb. 21.-The Offering Of
freight to clipper ships is still quite large
in the aggregate, but the lack of tonnage
to accommodate the same is a great draw
back to the market there being in reality
only two ships in the berth that can take
freight, and both of these are we'll ad-
vanced, with no desire on the part of the
agents to hurry them off till other vessels
are ready to take their places. One Of
these vessels, the Whitmore, will be ready
IN day or two, and another, the ST,
John, in a few days thereafter, and these
comprise all the ships in port that are
committed for the California trade. 1t
will thus be seen that the prospect of a
full supply of tonnage during the next
thirty days is not very hattering, offer
ings in the main being principally heavy
and coarse goods, but care is taken by
agents to select the best paying freight
in order to make the average equal to the
amount paid for ships. Rates are firm
on basis of SS50@9 per ton, The sup
ply Of tonnage especially such as is suita-
ble for the California trade, continues
very scarce, and the prospect for an in
crease is not very hattering, as not many
are pointing this way, and no engage,
