Andrew Jackson On the Tariff.
from his farewell address. ]

sThere is, perhaps, no one of the
powers conferred OH the General Gov
ernment SO liable to abuse as the tax
ing power. The productive and con
venient sources of revenue were neces-
sary to it that it might be able to
perform the important duties imposed
upon it; and the taxes which it lays
upon commerce, being concealed from
the real payer in the price of the ar
ticle, they do not so readily attract the
attention of the people as smaller sums
demanded from them directly by the
tax gatherer.
"But the tax imposed upon goods en-
hances by so much the price Of the
commodity to the consumer And as
many of those duties are imposed on
articles of necessity which are daily
used by the great body of the people,
the money raised by these imposts is
drawn from their pockets.
Congress has no right under the
constitution to take money from the
people unless it is required to execute
some enc Of the specific powers intrust
ed to the Government; and if they
raise more than is necessary it is an
abuse of the power of taxation. and un-
just and oppressive.
'It may indeed happen that the reve-
nue. will sometimes exceed the amount
anticipated when the taxes were laid;
and in such case it is unquestionably
the duty Of the Government to reduce
them, for no circumstance can Justify
it in assuming power not given to it
by the constitution, or in taking away
the money of the people when it is not
needed for the Legitimate wants of the
Government.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Jx the nomination Of Cleveland, of
New York, and Hendricks, of Indiana,
the National Democratic Convention
have presented to the people for their
suGrages a ticket which every true
patriot who holds country above party
can conscientiously indorse and support
with their votes. Grover Cleveland
young man who has scarcely reached
the meridian Of life, has by his energy.
industry, honesty and ability made for
himself worldwide reputation which
commands the admiration of the nation,
For far-sighted policy and true states-
manship lie occupies position second
to none in che American nation
Personally, he comes up to the old
Roman standard for an executive ruler;
in him we fLd a sound mind in a
strong, athletic frame. He is not
subject to sun stroke or paralytic lep-
rosy which has characterized the
plumed knight of Maine. He is fully
able to withstand the fatigues of the
campaign and gracefully administer the
affairs of the Government after the 4th
of next March. The name of Thomas
A. Hendricks, of Indiana, is familiar
household word. He belongs not to
Indiana alone, but to the whole United
States. He has been in public life fol
more than a quarter OF century, and
we challenge the opposition to place
their finger on a single page of his
public record, or point to single vote
or speech of his that has not been in
favor of the people. His record is an
open book, commensurate with the his
tory of our country and needs no COM
mendation from us. They will be
elected.

DR.. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of AMI

investigation of pIeurO-pneumonia among
cattle in Illinois. He has found eight

not yet been traced. DR.. Salmon further
says 1t Is impossible for me to get eXBe-
rienced men to assist me without moving
them away from New York and
Brooklyn, and this do not
want to do until 1t is absolutely nee
essary. Men who have had no experience
