There is a great deal Of useless
discussion going on just now about
the tariff. The common mass of
the people are too busy. with their
own private affairs to think very
much about the tariff laws. There
are, however, certain prominent
points that everybody can take In
and understand. First-the gov
ernment needs money to pay its an
nual. running expenses, to pay pen
sions, interest on the public debt
aud a fund to gradually extinguish
the principal Of the debt. The peo-
pie are willing to pay the necessary
taxes 70 do all these things. They
only demand that the money when
collected shall, be economically ex-
pended !. that there shall be no ex-
no corruption, no job
berry, They are willing that the
tariff shall Be high enough to. pro
duce all the money that the Govern
ment needs. But. secondly, if the
tax laws, as they at present exist
raises and puts more money into the
public treasury than Is needed to
pay the working expenses, the pen
siops, the Interest, ETC., then the peo-
pie Of all parties very .sensIbly de- 1
mand that the taxes shall be rednc-
ID. They can see no good reason
Why millions of dollars should be

WISE WORDS.

Choose brave employment with naked
sword throughout the world.
Genius follows its own path and
reaches its destination scarcely needing
a compass.
That state of life is the most happy
where superhuities are not required
and where necessities are not want
ing.
Discretion and hardy valor are the
twins of honor, and nursed together
make conqueror; divided, but mere
talker.
When Fortune comes smiling, she of.
ten designs the most mischief. When
Fortune caresses a man too much, she is
apt to make a fool of him.
Old age is the night of life, as night
is the old age of day. Still, night is
full of magniticence; and, for many, it is
more brilliant than the day.
He is poverty y-stricken who is so alb.
sorbed in the little Enclosures of which
he holds the title deed that he loses his
grasp on the bending universe.
Self control is promoted by humility.
Pride is a fruitful source of uneasiness.
1t keeps the mind in disquiet. Humil-
ity is the antidote to this evil.
Money and time are the heaviest bur.
dens of life, and the unhappiest of ali
mortas ale those who have more OF
either than they know now to use.

Immense Continental Armies.

Colonel Hennebert, French professor,
has compiled some appalling statistics in
regard to the immense continental armies
that could be put into the field in case Of
European war Not mere armies, but
armed nations, he says, will hereafter
meet on the battlefield, and the battles Of
the future will be gigantic massacres.
BY the law of the I'd of May, 1874, the
German government is authorized to call
out, in case of war, G,000, 600 men, BY
the ukase of January 1, of the same
year, Russia is permitted to arm nearly
$1,000, 600. OF course, these numbers
are only on paper; but, deducting every
thing, taking the real number available
in the two empires, and it is positive
that Germany can put into the field 3, -
$4,000 and Russia $500, COO fighting
men, thoroughly drilled and disciplined,
while, as Austria, by her law of Decem-
Der 5, 1868, is permitted to put on war
footing 1865, 900 soldiers, an Austro-
German-Russian alliance represents, in
round numbers, $500, 900 combatants.
Join to these, as may be considered
certain, Italy's contingent, assured by
her laws of 1915, 1876 and 1872 at .
$40, 600 men, and the quadruple league
can dispose of a mass of troops of all arms
exceeding 10, 600, 600, with 1, 600 batteries
of field gums.
