THERE ls no country 10 the wo-i7
 where a poor man is so favored as in ih.
 United States, and no country where fire
 aboring man finds more fault with Li.
 -ituation. It is the right, as well a.
 iuty, of every man to better his cund Q
 ti0p in life whenever he can, and most
 men are not slow to take advantage of
 very opportunity that offers a chang,
 or the better. No less than 75 per cen.
 i well-to-do men uf the United Stlt+s
 ,t thls date were poor men wEo have
 worked their way up from very humble
 beginnings. Many of them worked for
 wages, and at such wages as DO man of
 his generation would think of accept .ug. There are th, usauds upon thou
 sands of men in this country who began
 1fe by working for 40 and 30 cents
 day, and not a of them worked 10
 45 cents a day. 1t was more difficult to ave up one or two hundred dollars g.
 pr 4O years ago, than 1t Is now to say, ID as many thousands. The great trouble nowadays i-, that tue poor man thinks he must live in the same stvIy md spend as much money as the rici man, who may have labored for years for The first few dollars he possessed. and Jractieed the most strict economy, with put which no man can succeed. Tho man who earns four q liars or ten dol lars day, and spends #, is not doing a> well as the man who earus two dollar a day and saves one. Show us a man who lives fully up to his salary, from month to month, for the ordinary D scessi5ies of life and we will show you l man who will never be anything but l what be is today, unless he uHkes rad 1 cal changes in favor Of ecoromy. l Grocery bills must be reduced; porteI- l house steaks must be the exception ] rather than the rule, and drygood- ! houses should have little attractions for ! Inc wives of men who work on salaries, 1 lntIl such time as thry are able Co spend | nOre freely. Gro Co the Well tO do men l n Tucson or any other town, who have made their money n the regular course 'f business, and ask them what they did when they were young and starting out n life; how much wages they received, md how they invested it. We venture o say that they received much less than 'ouug men are now receiving for their ahor, and that their expenditures were .lso so much less, that they saved up nore than Is being saved up by the vorage young men of to-day. Young aan, go and 6o likewise, 1T you desire to ise in the world, for you can never be ! nything but what you are, so long as ou spend your money as you go along.

THE St Louis Republican, which is
 noted for its conservatism on question: of finance, ID discussing the outcome of counties which have aided railroads bv
 voting bonds to assist in their construc- ton, makes the following statement as to the effect in Missouri: The debts
 which seemed and were most injudici- ous at the time they were created, have contributed to the construction of raIl
 roads, the local taxation on which now
 meets the interest in whole or in large part on the bonds issued on account Of them. A county haTing seventy-tive miles. of railrosd "Tfa TfanHdred ie,j' ,,a account dollars has little additional Du,
 den by reason of having issued it. bonds to this extent There are not more than half a dozen counties in the state which now have reason to re gard themselves financially worse fo the debts they may have put upon them selves to aid the construction of rail- roads. The direct revenues raised b, taxing the roads and their propefty and the increase of values consequent upoi the construction of the roads have made the county railroad indebtedness a bur den not onerous like 1t was before the fruits of the outlay began to be reaped.
 This is exactly what the CITIZEN has stated would be the result in Pima county. The county can assist any le- gitimate railroad enterprise, without in- creasing the tax of the ordinary taxpay- CTS. The railroads will pay the addi- tional tax as soon as the roadbeds are and in running order. Only be careful to build roads that will pay after they are built, and no risk is run aiding them.

TsE INTERVAL REHENuE TAX.

a@ INTERNAL REVENUE 4AA-
 The general government no longer re- quires the tax on liquors and tobacco. as the revenue from custom duties Is sui feient to pay the ordinary expenses as well as something toward reducing the national debt. The tax IS easily collect ed: 1t IS upon articles which are moi numbered among the neoessaries Of life. the moral force Of the country IS IT favor Of the tax while the manufacturers and dealers do not oppose 1t. But the collection of the tax is unnecessary, and many of those who favor the tax are al 8 loss Co know how to dispose of it. IL has been suggested by some that it be distributed among the states, for schoo and other purposes; but there is such wide difference of opinion upon the question. that 1t is hard for those Wht have 1t in their power, to agree upon any fixed policy. The receipts unde' the Scott law in Ohio are so large that the State Board of Equalization will be enabled to reduce the general tax levy The State O, Missouri which has sim liar license law. has increased the reven- mes Of the State at least Sl,0000O0 These facts will doubtless be considered by other states which are in need oi more revenue. As the revenue tax is nc longer needed by the general govern menr, let it be transferred to the state and territories, which do need it. The law governing this tax should be general in its application. therefore it must he 8 national law, and the collections made as nov, othergise it would soon pas out Of existence, if left to tn. states, as some would pass license laws and others would not. rhis would have the effect of buildinc up the revenues Of one State at the ez- pense of another The tax, when col lected. should be transferred to tho treaslrers of each State and territory, for them to dlspose of as may seem best, as.er deducting the actual expense of collecting it. according to population The division should be based upon pop uiatiuu and not in proportion to the tax collected in each district or State. Some Of the large whisky producing district of Illinois ostensibly pay tax am untinl 10 millions ot dollars annually, but iu reality pay no more, or perhaps not SC much as s me other district that maks no showing of having paid any such tax
