Reduce the Tariff.

The next report of the Secretary of the
Treasury will show that there are only forty
millions OF United States bonds left which
the government can pay at its option. BY
the end of the fiscal year these will be paid.
A very large surplus will then remain in the
treasury and with our present high tariff and
increasing trade money will accumulate rap
idly in the treasury The question is, shall
Congress squander this immense amount
from time to time, or shall she burden be
taken off the toiers of the hnde The re-
ceipts can DO materially decreased by taking
the revenue tax off whisky and tobacco, and
some protective tariff people want this done.
This would be about the worst thing that
could be done. A hetter plan would be to
lessen the accommodating surplus in the treas
ury by reducing the tariff tax on the neces-
saries of life. This would DC direct relief
to millions who are not benefited by the
high tariff, which enriches a few al the ex-
pense of the many.

ers therein confined are 10, four serving out SEN
lance five for assault; four for larceny.
While the Grand Jury have diligently ex-
amined into every alleged violation of law, they
have inquired particularly into the violation of
the local option law.
We examined great number of witnesses, from
all parts of the county, with especial references
to infractions of this law. These witnesses were
examined at length and with great particularly,
but their answers, except in a few instances,
were so evasive that no presentments could be
found. In all cases where the evidence would
justify it, presentments were made We desire
to express to your Honor. to the States Attorney
and to the other officials ofthe Court generally our
appreciation of the valuable assistance they have
rendered us, thereby greatly facilitating our
labors.
The business before us having been concluded
