TEE WHISKY TAX.

Let me now say word personally, al- though I dislike to bring any personal act of my own into a pubic speech. I have been met since came into the canvass with circular everywhere distributed through the state, charging me with hav- ing advc caled the distribution of the whisky tax among the people of the sev- eral states, and in doing that am charged with Icing guilty of something very hos tile to the temperance cause. The United States today gets nearly $l00 000, 900 from the whisky tax. Two dollars out of every seven that tho government gets comes from that source Do you think that wrong aud do you ever see the use of any article increased by putting heavy tax On il Z? Do you think putting heavy tax on whisky has tended to incr, ase is consumption amuug the peopleP No; it has constantly decreased it, AIid the con- sumption of strong drink has steadily de- creased within the last few years. It has dc ecreased much in the last sixty years, not by reason of the tax wholly. To day the people of this country do not consume more than one-sixth part, per capita, of tho strong liquors which our grandfathers consumed. Four years ago movement was made by some republicans and demo- crats, members of congress, to abolish the whisky tax and let whisky go free, not on the ground that 1t should have any immu- nity from taxation, but on the ground that we didn't need the tax, and that for pro. tection's sake the tax had better be kept on foreign articles of consumption. If the national government does not need the one hundred millions of tax don't you think 1t had better be kept on the whisky, even if states had to fake the money Would you give it license to roam every. where and leave it without tax or restraint, or don't you think it might very wisely be turned into some good purpose by holding it under taxation, and, if necessary, in. creasing the taxation until you could tax it out of existence if it were possible (Cries of Good, and applause.) And ] should, as citizen of the United States
 I voted, believe, for every tax that was placed upon it, and if the day comes when the national government needs the tax nc longer, I would rather keep it on aud dis
 tribute it among the states than to increase the tax on the poor mans house and on every farm and on every. article of property in this country. l say we could Use thai to good advantage and l believe it is ac
 cprdlpg to the most orthodox religion tC make the devil serve the cause of good l Great applanse.) Therefore, instead oI apologizing for that act, say would dc 1t again. fCries of Good, and applause. And if the time ever comes when the United States does not need the tax, ther let the United States still raise it and give it, per capita, to the states and they will
 find some good use for it.-J c. BtGine

eansevoort Market, New ,orx.

An open square, divided by numerous
paved walks; on one side the river and
it's moving panorama g. a background;
on the other three sides large stores,
where all sorts of provisions IA be pro-
cured. Along the pavements in the
suuare long lines of country wagons,
laden with fresh fruits and vegetables,
which are sold in retail quantities at
wholesale prices. Up and down the
payements trip purchasers with baskets,
who pick out their own corn, peaches,
beans, salads and potatoes, and exchange
chafT with the handsome farmer lads.
Among them are large buyers-keepers
OF hotels and boarding houses, perchance
who have their goods carried to a cen
trail barrel which il guarded by a messen-
ger boy.
The sight is pretty and lively, quaint
and enterprising. II it were in London
or Paris the New Workers on a tour would
get up early to see it, and write letters t.
The American newspapers about it. AS
il is right here in New York, at GanSe-
WORT market, nobody ever thinks OF
paying it q visit, unless bent upon a little
marketing racket. Artists who are al,
ways grumbling ut their lack of subjects
and taking tours abroad to find some,
thing to paint, would discover genre pict-
ures ready to be transformed to canvas

If the tariff can not be revised. and the

1t must be done some time. In fact the

The Democrats are pledged to revise
the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all inter-

A rather strange boycott resolution was
adopted by the Central Labor Union OF
New York the other day, ordering that
the members of the union boycott the
"capitalistic press" But strange as the
resolution was it has had its counterpart
in an other city or two. The man who in
PRODUCED it was Mr.. Ludwig JABLoNowsHI,
the proprietor of a labor organ, who urged
that the other papers Oughtto be boyeotted
for his w special benefit. Here is an in
teresting comment from the Philadelphia
Times:
1t is related of a certain political orator
that on closing an impassiOned speech
against ~monOpOlists he sat down, remark
ING in an undertOne to a fellow-Occupant
of the platform, IL am against all monOp-
olists, but | wish that / was n myself"
Mr.. JablOnOwsEi appears to be al Oppo-
nent to the capitalistic press on the same
basis. He is opposed to all capitalistic
newspapers but the one he has his W
| capital invested in. He wants that to sue
coed and has adopted the highly original
plan of compelling the wOrkingmen OF the
| Central Labor Union to take his paper or
90 without any. The owners of other
capitalistic newspapers would doubtless
be glad to obtain subscribers by the same
summary method, but Mr.. ~JablOnOwski
seems to be the first one of the newspaper
capitalists bold enough to put himself on
record in favor of this peremtory way Of
increasing a subscription list.
Mr.. JablOnOwskfs resources as q news
paper manager appear to be u~nbOunded.
He is a politician as well rs IN autOcrat III
his methods. When his resolution wa
first offered in the union it was voted
down. Mr.. JablonOwski and his friend:
bided their time and when the opponents
of his method of getting subscribers on
cOmpulsion had gone home he got his de-
feated resolution up OF a reconsideration
and had it passed. Ii remains now to be
seen whether the members OF the union
will obey Mr.. J%ablonOwski's resolution,
There is such n thing as the horse refusing
to drink after being led to water. But /
all the other c~apitalistic newspapers o
New York do not lose their subscribers anC
the paper on which Mr.. Jablonowski is
stakeholder gain them it will not be thu
fault of Mr.. JablOnOwski.

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN
PROFESSIONS

The Republican press is falling in with
SENATOR MORRILL'S resolution intro
dueed into the Senate the other day,
opposing "any further attempt at
revision OF the tariff by the present Con-
greSs."
Yet the Republican platform adopted at
Chicago in 1884 is pledged to correct the
inequalities" rs o way for preventing the
surplus" NOTWITHSTANDING these pledges,
the Republicans have fought to the bitter
end every attempt of the Democrats to
carry out these measures. How will the
Republicans reconcile their professions
with their actions?
1t is q fact omnibus o fharm for the fu-
ture, that the Republican party should
again, this early in the session of Congress,
be combining to defeat all efforts to remoy
unnecessary aad unjust taxation, and
prevent the accumulation of an enormous
surplus in the Treasury.
1t may be true As they urge, that the az,
itation Of the question will some what"un'

argument whit the MAJ who Is SHOWN on his
back being robbed by some fellow. II
they could persuade him to meekly lie
still and be plundered, there would be
no disturbance whatever. But if he jumps
