WHAT Is 'CHE USE ?


From the New York lndeuondent.1
If prohibtionists believe that the whis-
key tax "aids the saloon power" how can
they denounce, as Dr. Brooks does in his
letter of acceptance, the republican, prop
osition to remove it. in certais OAntin-
geucy, as the Contamination Of human
scliishness and nfamy"? Is it wrong for
the republican party to do what it would
be right for the prohibition party to do ?
AS to republican belief on the subject
there are more voters probably who be-
lieve that tax is an aid to the saloon power
than voted for st. John in 1854. There
are, on the other hand, many who believe
that the tax is actually restrictive Re
publican opinion is divided as to the effect
of the whi5key tax. But there is no in
sincerity in the position of the party A
man may hold that the tax Is restrictive
without holding that it must be retained
even at the sacrifice of the protective sys-
tenn, or that it Is the only, or the most eff
fectlve, way of dealing with the liquor
traffic. We believe that the tax is a check
on the traffic bnt we would uot hesitate
to remove it to save the protective system
knowing that there are other and better
methods of dealing with tie liquor ira tfic
while protection is vitality indispensable
to our national welfare.
A conscientious mHn can have no diff
Guilty in voting for the party that gives
him practical legislation against the sa
loon III nearly every northern State in
preference to the party which proposes
great things, but has never in all these
years accomplished even the lttlest thing.
1t proposes national and State prOhibi-
ton but it has elected no president, sen
atOr Representative or governor or legis-
lator to carry ont its purposes. It mas no
more J. gi,latlve power than the Statue of
Liberty in New York bay. 1t has never by
legtl enactment closed single saloon
Let the conscientious man ask himself,
What is the use of voting with party
which not only cannot accomplish a single
thing for prohibition, or restriction even,
bur which antagonizes and hinders the
party that can and does

II is getting TO be more and mere plain
that the republicans viii rely good deal
in the national campaign this year on what
they call the issue of an honest vote, ,vnean-
ing by that the question of the suppression
of the negro republican vote in some Of
the Southern States. There was a time
when they hoped to avoid this plan. They
thought that they had "fghting chance"
In several of the Southern States in the
two Virginias and in North Carolina and
they felt that II they were to make any
thing Of this chance they must do so ON
some other issue than that of race, for this
Is what the matter amounts to. When
Senator Sherman went South and made
his peaceful and smooth speech, he had
this chance in mind,and there was num-
Der of other signs of the same sort. The
plan was good one, and II would have.
been likely to work fairly well cut for one
thing II the republicans were to drop
the Southern question, the only one left
for them was the tariff, and, though the
leaders are clearly going to stick to the
tariff issue, they have suspicion that they
cannot get rid of, that it will drive off a
good many of their votes In the North
unless they can hold Them by the feeling
that the Southern question arOuses.

KEEP ITiS MIND.


The bonded public debt OF The United
States Is as follows Funded loan Of 1891,
rcdeemable on and after September Ist,
1891, and bearing interest at -four and a
half per cent, $z2s,os4,6oo. Funded loan
OF 1907, redeemable on and after July Ist
Ioo7,and bearing interest at the rate of four
per cent per annuln, S73f,3So35o The
government has two general sources of
obtaining revenue The first II by duties
on imported commodities and the other Is
known as internal revenue, that ls,a tax on
whisky, tobacco and oleemargarinc The
internal tax on whisky for the year ending
June goth, sS7,amounted 10 $6s,87o, ,3sI7f,
on tobacco $50, ro3,o67.r3 and from oleo-
margarine and either sources, Sz2, ,Soo,oIz.72,
making a total Of internal revenue taxes Of
$IIS,S37, ,3ot. .o6. The amount Of money
received from duties on imported goods
was $zt7, 7,2s6,S93 r3,and from various other
sources, $3s,s9s,oo35i, making a sum total
OF all taxes collected Of $37fAo5277.66.
The ordinary expenses Of the government
for the same time was $3r rs,s3sAz Azs, leaving
n surplus In the treasury June goth, ,rSs7of
Ssss67,s49s4 Careful estimates show
that for the year ending june goth, 1883 the
surplus for the year will amount to nearly
$leo,oooooo. This added TO the surplus Of
last year will amount TO Siss,s67,s40.s4.
Every person must see that great harm and
financial disaster will result II this policy
of accumulatlng surplus Is TO go on. Some.
thing must be done by Congress TO check
up this constant now Of The peoples money
into the treasury there TO be boarded up
and subjected TO non.use, or a fnancia
crash and panic will come upon the eoun.
try such as II has never seen before. There
are three ways by which this accumulation
Of surplus money may be stopped First,
a reduction Of taxation. Seeond,more ex-
tensive appropriations Of the public meney
for public Improvements. Thirdly going
into the markets and buying United States
bonds. No taxpayer who Is true to his
own interests can object 10 the first method
for tax reduction must always be the slo-
gan Of the people when they are paying
mere than the government needs. All
careful. frugal taxpayers will object 10 the
sccoad,a II establishes the foolish and dan.
geroas policy OF extravaganza Ia public
expenditures. No citizen could consist,
emily endorse the thlrd,as the government
wouid have 10 pay a premium OF ~ 10 5
cents on the funded loan of 1891 and 20 TO
| ~ cents on the funded loan Of 1901. II
We decide TO reduce the surplus by rednc.
Ing taxation, then the question arises
whether this reduction shall be made on
tariff duties on the necessaries of life,or on
internal taxes on whisky and tobacco.
Which will you have, cheap clothing and
c.eap necessarics OF life or free whisky and
tobacco The Mills hill will give you the
former and republican policy the latter.
Choose We this day which you will have.

Congressman Kerr, of Iowa, a,repubIican,
made speech few days ago on the tariff
question, in which he said
"He approved reduction of the rcye-
nue. by the abolition of the internal reve-
nue. tax. The time had come,he thought.
in the history of the American govern
ment for the nation to declare that hence
forth 1t would take no share in the profits
of the sale of alcoholic liquor"
AS we have often said before,the repub-
licans are rapidly crystalizing around the
policy of taking the war taxes from whis-
ky and tobacco and retaining 1t on the
necessaries of life. Free whisky and free
"chaws, "and taxed clothing for tho poor is
the republican program. How de- the
