THE VOICE OF THE DRUMMER.

TO The Editor.
noticed in the issue of the ninth instant
an item with the following caption Rough
on tho Drummer" Permit ono of them
through the columns of your paper, to show
now rough IL really is, and to ask of you to
please Turn on the light" This, sir, is our
case; There is n law which states that a
commercial broker shall pay license of 5000
per year to sell goods by samples and the
Following is the way our commissioners en-
force IL and which is our cause for complaint.
First Last year 10 is said that about LOO
merchants visited our city and sold goods by
sample without paying said license, whilst
less than fifty paid the full license Of 5000.
Again, some take out said license and when
an outside broker wants to sell the trade he
will mako the acquaintance of one who has
the necessary license, and for a consideration
ESQ much per diem or so much pro rata on
amount of salcs) will show the broker with
out q license around and introduce him to
tho trade, and If the occasion requires
Will send extra protection in the
shape of clerk, which is plain
violation Of the law. Again, the owners of
goods can come hero and make affidavit to
tho fact of said ownership, and flood the city
with their wares, and get off "scot free"
without paying cent, simply because they
are tho owners, while less than fifty brokers
have to pay yearly tax of 5000 to sell the
same goods for the self same ownors. Fifty
brokers pay the tax that 1,7OO capitalist
should pay.
Yet, it is said, this law was made to pro-
tect the city merchant; amazing protection
Think OF city government right under the
shadow of the capitol of tho nation, "tho land
OF the free" where all arc equal before the
law upholding such moDstrosity and call
ing IL law. Right here, also, am reminded
OF what the district attorney said to ono Of
our committee when asked, "if in case Of
sickness brother would have the right to
employ his clerk 2" Mr. Riddle replied in q
sarcastic manner, "We do not license q man
to get sick" Just wherein this shows how
l,7OO merchants who were not sick could SELL
goods for a whole year without q proper
license does not appear. Nor does it appear
how the able-bodied broker, heretofore ro-
ferred to, can protect the legions of CONNER
cial agents who visit our city without
license and flood the town with their
wares and not pay cent into
the city treasury. If sick man who
jumps his license has no rights, how 10 il one
who is well and hearty can send dozen or
more of his clerks to look after some one
elses trader How is it, Mr.. Attorney, oh ?
! guess it is riddle you can't solve. If this
Is sample of your stock in hand, you will
get turned down" on account of illness long
before the drummer will, for such an abom-
Unable law will in the end defeat ITSELF Mr..
Editor, it is time the voice of the drummer
was heard in the land. We do not want free
trade, we want reasonable license and pro-
lection that protects. "rurn on the light"

embers of American manhood into flame
that may consume few satrapian parasites,
but the republic will bo purer and better for

The day may not be distant when states
men will see that to proclaim republic
throughout America and at the same time to
set up and sustain depotism in its center is
not only glaring Inconsistency, but a course
that will eventually threaten the safety of
our republic itself.
There is a strong probability that amid the
present clamor for investigation the living
issue. the main question, will be lost sight
of. Let us therefore not forget that the vital
point in this matter is tho preservation of
that liberty for which our forefathers fought
and the maintenance of the rights of man.

A CHANGE WANTED.
~ The I,Tyyn,.

Now that public affairs have once again
become the peoples business, and the district
triumyirate has condescended to open its
official records to the public eye, it may not
seem improper TO analyZe briefly tho true
relations existing between tho people and
their local government To the casual glance
of stranger our commissioners represent
the popular choice They are prima facie an
honest selection. No thought of congress
sional or executive interference suggests
itself.
But let him examine tho underlying
stratum Of facts, and he soon discovers that
a citizen of the District of Columbia is no
citizen at all. That citizenship is Il question
of place, not question of political rights.
That to be u resident is to be shorn of the
most important right vested by the constitu-
tion, namely, the right of elective franchise.
Nor does his discovery stop here. lie finds
that the administration of home government
is but an expository of political and aristo-
cratic favoritism, and that the choice of u man
truly representing the popular vote is un-
known and unheard of,
He might have cause to wonder at tho
abject indifference of the people, did not AN
occasional outcry assure him that the indif-
ference springs less from neglect than neces-
sity.
Thanks to THE REPUBLICAN, our leading
newspaper we are emerging from this foul
atmosphere of local despOtsm and advancing
toward the highlands of reason and Justice
Since 1880 many Of our leading citizens have
continually urged the return to popular gov
ernment, Unfortunately, there has been no
unity of purpose, but through the press and
Its exposure of our real condition we may
safely hope to SEQ achange etected-a change.

VhOusnnus HastCned 60 Their Graves
Relying on testimonials written in
vivid, glowing language of some miracu-
lous cures made by some largely pulled
up doctor or patent medicine has hast
ened thousands to their graves, believ-
ing in their almost insane faith that the
same miracle will be performed on them,
and that these testimonials make the
cures, while the so-called medicine is all
the time fastening themto their graves.
We have avoided publishing testimonials
as they do not make the cures, although
we have
THOUSANDS UPoN THOUSANDS
of them, of the most wonderful cures,
voluntarily sent us. Itis our medicine
Hop Bitters-that makes the cures. IL
has never failed, and never can. We
will give references to any one for any
disease similar to their own if desired,
or will refer to any neighbor, rs there is
not neigh borhood in the known world
but can show its cures by Hop Bitters.
A LOSING JOKE.
a prominent physician of Pittsburg jokingly
said 10 lady patient who was complaining OF
her continued i'll health and Of his inability to
IL in earnest and used the Bitters, from which she
obtained permanent health. She now laughs at
tne doctor Tor MS JOKE but he Is not so well pleased
with 1t, as 1t cost him good patient.
FEES OF DOCTORS.
The fee of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in. We be-
lieve the schedule for visits is SO, which
would tax man confined to his bed for
q year, and in need Of daily visit, over
81 900 a year for medical attendance
alone. And one single bottle of Hop
Bitters taken in time would save the
81 900 and all the years sickness.

OLIVE OIL VS.. CorroN-sEED OIL.

OLIVE OIL VS.. COTTON-SEED OIL.
While so much is being written about food
adulteration. how happens it that the salad
oil furnished us by our grocers at 81 bottle,
which is nothing more nor less than cotton
seed oil, is passed by? Is the use of cotton
seed oil so quietly accepted because it is con-
sidered pure and healthy? No one questions
that 1t Is pure cotton seed oil, or would deny
that castor oil is pure, yet no one would
fancy dressing his lettuce or his lobster with
the latter, or venture to contradict the
opinion of chemists and physicians that the
use of the former as an article of diet brings
on a chronic disease of the intestines and is
consequently unhealthy. A little glucose in
sugar is fraud to be sure, because it Is q
sugar with less saccharine juice in it than the
product of the sugar cane, but it does no harm,
except to the purchasers pockets; neither
does the Georgia clay 80 generally mixed
with pulverized sugar do any great hurt, or
the plaster Of paris found in fine table salt,
or even oleomargerine, If it is made of pure
animal fat but to have cotton seed oil foisted
on one is one of those things not to be toler-
ated. Olive oil is clear, and of u pale green
color. 1t does not CONCEAL and look like lard
in cold weather. 1t does not stick to the
teeth and palate. Cotton-seed oil is yellow
and not clear. In cold weather it thickens
in the bottle and looks like lard. 1t sticks
to ones teeth aud gums and palate. All
winter my oil bottle with its aesthetic trade
mark labeled pure olive oil" would have to
be thawed out before the white, lardy mass
in it became liquid enough for use. 1t is q
well known fact that thousands of tons of
cotton seed are exported every year to be
pressed, clarified, and bottled abroad to
be returned to the American market as
pure olive oil. DIR. Townshend and DIR.
De Smedt should investigate this oil
fraud for it can be called by no other name.
1t would be we'll also for them to turn their
attention to the vinegar so generally manu-
factured by tho grocers composed of water,
ascetic or some equally strong poisonous
acid. and colored with mOlas5es 1t is very
sharp to the taste, and so sharp in iact that
one year ago twenty jars of my wifes pickles
were literally eaten to pieces by it, and
nothing lett of them but a mass of pulp. l
suppose it gnaws the coats of the stomach in
the same way, whoever is SO unfortunately
confiding as to use it.
saw an excellent suggestion in connection
with the subject of food adultcration the
other day, which was that some one with
conscience, and who wanted to make money,
should open in this city an establishment for
the sale of pure, unadulterated articles of
food. Those who are growing rich on the
sale of adulterated articles would then have
to reform or close their doors. for people
would prefer paying little more for what
they put into their stomachs than to go on
eating and drinking slow poisons. Life is
too short for it. OLIVE.
