excepted, the gross amount of tax
alton is below the expenditures,
while in the latter the excess Is
small in comparison with ours, in
which during the same period the
excess of receipts exceeded ex-
penditures i'm the sum of nearly
S0l,000,OO0 and for the fiscal year
last, past nearly $1O4000,00O.
Every year the Government
under its present rates of taxation
is eXacting nearly %l00,O00,00O
more than is necessary for all our
expenses, ordinary and extraordin-
airy, and yet u reduction of the rate
is fought with unparalleled BITTER
ness, for no other avowed reason
than that it would reduce the pro-
fits of the protected industries of
the country. The plain English of
the monstrous proposition is, that
the consumer of their wares (Which
means the farmers and laborers,
and all who have their wealth in
unprotected industries,) shall con-
tinue to be robbed, year after year,
for the benefit of the protected few.
The whole system of taxing one
portion of the people for the bene-
fit of the other, was first conceived
in avarice and greed, and has been
maintained at the expense of hon
esty, by misrepresentation, corrup-
ton and fraud.
Year by year our legislators are
assailed by an army of paid lobby
lists, with corruption funds in Their
pockets, importuning the continua.

ed theft.

Sharp Practice That win Not Pay the
Slarpers.

Ohio woods have the reputation
of being the best in quality and
condition of the woods grown in
this country, but the dishonest
methods of some Buckeye wool
growers have frequently caused
serious loss to buyers who have
judged their purchases by the eX-
ternal appearance of the tleeces. L
has been Il frequent cause of com
plant that dead-pulled and unwas-
he'd woods, tags and straw have
been rolled up inside the seemingly
fair fleeces marketed by many OF
the less scrupulous growers. This
practice has become so common
that dealers and buyers have found
1t necessary to give notice by II cir
cular letter, over their signatures
that the perpetrators ofsuch frauds
will hereafter be held strictly re-
sponsible under the law.

Sensible Words 10 Worklngmen.

In an address at Quincy, Mass,
DR.. VIM Everett addressed the fol-
lowing sensible words to working
men which will bear their careful
attention and study:
But before l close l would adj
dress Il single word to the working
men who are here, and entreat
them not to be carried away by the
delusion that their good wages and
their success in competing with
the labor of other nations depend
upon an artificial value added to
the products of their hand by any
law. Depend upon it, neither
laborer nor manufacturer in any
trade can really be benefited by
what is unjust to the great needs
of your countrymen. Your labor
depends for it's wages and it's en-
ployment ON the demand for your
work, on the freedom with which
that work can be exercised, and
with which it can find its way
everywhere. You are raised above
the laborers of Europe not by arti-
fetal legislation, not by protecting
you tenderly from every blast, but
by the natural resources, the an
cestral liberty of our country, the
equal Constitution, the free educa-
tion, the absence of any class OBJ
stacle to prevent the workingman
becoming the capitalist and legis,
lator by his own industry, enter.
prise and intelligence. This is
what protects you against any
competition from any people, and
will protect you still more when
in company with your fellow-cit-
izens you can buy what you need
for your daily life and your daily
work at such price as the natural
laws of ma nufacture and com
merce tend to set it.

Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan, who has a
splendid record in the field and on
the rostrum, in his lecture on "In-
gersoll" thus speaks of the great
agnostic:
No one has ever spoken on religion
with such great eloquence and so
little knowledge of his subject. l
have always wondered which to adj
mire most-the aggressive force with
which he attacks Christianity when
no one is opposing him, or the pru-
dence and discretion with which he
withdraws himself from public notice
when an opponent appears. Infidels
always tear down; they never build
up. Ingersoll proposes to sweep God
out of the universe, which He has
founded. Ingratitude, thy name is
Ingersoll. This country is but grand
poem of Christianity. A system out
of which such great results come is
worthy of kindlier treatment than it
receives at the hands of my flippant
friend. He says he knows nothing
about God. Then why does he talk
about him? Ingersoll is mad from
the top of his intellectual dome to
the soles of his infidel feet because
3OO.OOO,OOO people choose to disagree
with him. Ingersoll says he can
write a better book than the Bible.
One of these days he will wrap the
mantle of his conceit about him and
die, calm in that belief. What do
you think Of him who picks up the
spear of the Roman centurion,
plunges it afresh into the side of
Divine love. and shouts "Rejoice
with me. for l have slain the Christ? F"
Notwithstanding the assaults of inf
del and pagan. Christianity echoes
the same strains that have rung
through all ages and will ring until
man shall have learned better the
lesson of the cross.

The Faithful Not TO Join tho Knights

QUEBEC, Jan. 10.-In consequence
of the strike of the printers, members
of the knights of Labor, a letter
from Cardinal Tascherean was read
in all the city churches on the matter
of secret societies. His emminence
reminds the faithful that his pastoral
cOndemnatOry of the knights of La
Dor, and forDidding Catholics in his
archdiocese to join the society has
not been cOunterInanded. His SUBJ
seQuent pastoral on the subject SIM
ply suspended his further condem-
nation of the order until Rome should
have pronounced upon it, and per.
mitted contessors to absOIve such of
the faithful as were Knights on GER
tain conditions, one of which was
that they should be ready at all
times to acknowledge their error and
leave the order when called upon to
do so by their ecclesiastical superior.
The cardinal strongly urges the
faithful of his archdiocese to abstain
from joining the Knights, or any
other society which is at all Masonic,
in its tendency. principles or meth
DDS. He calls upon those who are
knights to hold themselves in readi-
ness to leave the order when proper
ly called upon, and hints that it
would be most becoming for all good
Catholics to do so at once.
The reading Of the letter from the
several Roman Catholic church pull
pits created no liitie ex element,
coming as it directly has in the wake
of the remarkable newspaper articles
recently published in tie French
Catholic press of Quebec, severely
attacking Cardinal Gibbons for his
defense of the knights. and landing
Cardinal Taschereau for his previous
condemnation of the order. The lets
ter was addressed to the cures of the.
several churches and callefaSffbon
them to address their people on the
subject, In most of the churches the
officiating priest, after reading the
letter, spoke strongly against the
knights.
