even for war!-we of the presen~
day quietly submit to a duty Cor
taX) OF AZ per cent! No: we do
not quietly Su6mit;we feel the bur-
den; we are conscious OF being
ground down into the very dust by
taXation-by having our subsis-
tence eaten up-and we get iuto a
towering rage with our State Coz
e,nment, at it's tax Of 81 mills on
the dollar, equal to one und n
tenM Of one per cent? Is this all!
The State tax Is levied only on the
property Il man owns; the Tariff
Tax is levied upon the clothes Il
man wears and upon the food he
eats! Yea, upon the medicine he
may have to take. AS an illustration
OF how Tariff effects things of nee
cSsary use, take tho single article
p"N'ine; for many years after the
war it could not be bought in our
town by the ounce for less than
five to six dollars. That high price
was owing to the high Import duty
or tax and which enabled Amor
lean manufacturers to demands and
exact Il price equal to the Euro
pean cost of producing the Qui0jnc
with the lmpoSt duty ITaXl 3D.
dcd. SO that when II few years
ago, the Impost Duty or Tax on
Quininc was repeated or essentially
m0dife0, tho price at once came
down so low that it was and is sold
by Il merchants at one dollar per
ounce. Quinine was one Of the
few things the monopoly was for
ced to let 30 its grasp. Many
things, just as necessary and use
full as Qujnine, and which were
kept up in price by the Impost Du-
tN Tor tax levied by the rarim,
have not yet been touched by in
tlucnce of Il Tariff Reform, but re-
main high in price causing iddircct-
~ an enormous Tax on everybody
that uses the articles. Especially
is this true of clothing. But we
must stop for the present. We
will resume the SubiCst next week,
and will then give some comment
on the way in which we all are
taxed by thc'rariT on the articles of
clothing and food.

Returning to Work.

by W tue DBPasSAA-I
ST. LOUIS, April l3.-The whole
force of the strikers Of the St. Louis
Transfer Company, confident Of prOtec-
ton by the militia from molestation,
have returned to their old place, and
scores of transfer-wagons, together with
private trucks and other vehicles, are
busy this morning hauling freight to
the various depots Of the railroads CEN
tring in East st. Louis. The force Of
switch and yardmen who returned to
work yesterday was increased this
morning by many more Of those who
awaited themselves Of the military pro-
lection to secure employment. Most
of the roads now have a full crew Of
switcbmen and yardmen, and it is ex-
pected that in few days the resump-
ton Of operations by large majority
Of the roads will be complete.
The railroad situation in East st.
Louis to-day is much the same as it
was yesterday. All the roads except
the Louisville and Nashville and the
Cairo Short-Line are receiving and hand
ling all the freight offered, which is not
very much, and are sending out all
trains required by the business to be
done.
The old men are not returning as
fast as they were expected to, being
afraid that when the militia are with
drawn they will be forced out again or
prosecuted in some manner. With the
exception, perhaps, of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, all but five Of
whose old men have returned, the yards
are manned almost entirely by road
men brought in from country points, or
by new men hired here. Business is
practically waiting upon the Governors
action regarding the militia. The road
officials have been asked to make state
ments as to the actual condition at East
St. Louis and the effect Of the military
upon the resumption Of traffic.

Secretary Manning's Condition
lHy telegram % the Dlspatch.l

WASHINGTON, April l3.-Secretary
Manning is to-day reported to be pro-
crossing favorably toward complete re-
covery. and it is believed by those near
est TO him that if he has no set-backs
be will be able to resume the general
direction ef The Treasury Department
before hot weather begins and 10 take
up his daily Office work again immedi-
ately after the summer vacation. To
do so earlier would be, in the
Judgment of his friends, both
imprudent and unnecessary, in view
Of the condition Of completeness
to which he has brought the reorganiza-
ton and principal annual work Of the
Treasury. These favorable anticipa-
tions were confirmed on Sunday by Dr..
T. A. Mcbride, OF New York, whom
DR.. Lincoln had invited to pass day
in Washington to consider and review
with him the treatment Of the case,
and to advise as physician and neu-
Tological expert in respect to the fu-
ture. Secretary Manning has lost
a great deal Of supertluous flesh
since bis confinement, but DR.. Mcbride
considers this very favorable to his
general health, as well as to the plan Of
treatment adopted, in which horseback
exercise is to follow the Swedish-moye-
ment cure, together with careful regu-
lation Of diet for about two or three
months. DR.. Mcbride passed consider
able time in conversation with Mr..
Manning himself during Sunday. He
returned to New York yesterday.
