Enormities of the Tariff.

e. L. Gardenhire in Carthage Record.
Taxation ought to be so arranged
that every man should pay for the sup
port of the Government according to
his money and other means The
millionaire has greater need for the
protecting egis of the Government
than the poor farmer, or the poor labor
er, to whom life is struggle for ex-
istance; and who will say, in reason or
justice, that he should not be compelled
to pay for the protection he receives?
Yet, that is not so, the poor farmer
and laborer bears the burden of taxa
ton, and the man of overgrown wealth
pays almost nothing. Vanderbilt pays
no tax on his hundred millions of bonds,
while the farmer and the labOrer pay
on everything they eat, drink, or
wear.
The tariff is the worst and most op.
pressive means ever devised to raise
money to support the Government
The tax is laid on sugar, salt, iron,
nails, domestic, calico, horseshoes, and
many other articles of daily cOnsump>
ton, of which the poor farmer uses as
much as Mr.. Vanderbilt. Is that fair
and just? There are, perhaps, many
farmers in Smith county who pay as
much money to support the Federal
Government, and its vast army Of
thieves and plunderers, as Mr.. Wander
bilt pays.
If | owned twice as much property
as my neighbor, ought | not to pay
twice as much tax as he, because | re
ceive twice the protection? The poor
man uses as much sugar, salt, iron, do
nestle, calico and wooden goods as Mr.
Vanderbilt, and pays as much tariff as
he does. Is that right? The truth is
the whole tariff scheme is one designed
to keep the taxes off of the rich, where
it would be easy to pay them, anc
throw burdens on the poor, and com
pell them to pay the cost of the Gov
eminent.

Sentence i1a the County JdjI "CrOaks.'
On Sunday night the old colored man
commonly known about town as General
Ely was arrested for drunkenness, and on
Monday Judge Cooley sentenced him to
thirty days OH the rock pile. Yesterday
morning the iailer found him dead in his
cell.
During the past year or two it is thought
that scarcely day passed when Ely was
not drunk. He earned miserable liVeli
hood by scrubbing out saloons, and during
the winter has slept IN the lookup lobby,
sitting Bolt uprig htin common chair.
No one appears to know the old mans
true name.
The coroner had the remains removed
to undertaking rooms and the burial will
probably be conducted at the expense of
