TAKING TO THE WOODS"

The Rev. DR.. CuyIer, in his free talk
about free trade aud FREQ whisky, pre-
diets that good many conscientious Re-
publicans will take to the woods" this
year His chief grievances seem to be
Cd the uncompromising support which
the Chicago platform gives To Protection.
and ca its contingent proposition for the
abolition of the Internal r venue sys-
tenn. IT we are we'll Informed, he siren
uously opposed the Republican party i'll
1884, and urged his friends TO follow his
example and vote for Mr.. St. john on the
Prohibition platform Is he aware of the
fact that the two SPECIAL grievances of
which he now complains were embodied
III that platform In order to refresh
his memory, we quote the following pas
sage from the Prohibition platform
adopted at Plttsburg on July "a. 1884:
That the collection of revenue hom
alcOhols, liquors and tobacco should be
abolished, as the vices of men are not a
proper inject for taxation; that revenue
from customs duties should be levied for
the support of Government economically
administered, aud when so levied the fos-
tering OF American labor, manufacturing
and industries should be constantly held
in view"
When this eloquent temperance orator
''took to the woods" in 1854 he was APP
parently content to scramble into the
Prohibition cabin and cast vote for the
protection OF home industries and the
abolition of Internal Revenue taxation.
including ''alcohols liquors and tobacco. -"
If he remains in the same party this year
he will again be forced to vote against
the whisky tax. for the Prohibition plat
form declares for the immediate auoli-
ton of the Internal Revenue system
whereby our National Government is de
irving support from our greatest National
vice."

Senator Allison, one of the ablest of
our senators, ard who is Chairman OF
the senate sub committee to which has
been referred the tariff question in that
branch of Congress, has started to a
newspaper correspondent his opinion
with respect to what will be done with
that question by the National Legislature.
He said he expected the Mills bill
would reach the Senate about the 18TH
instant, when the Republican Senators
would have their bill ready; that the
Democrats of the upper House would
adopt the former and the Republicans
pass their own measure. He thought the
debat would continue for a week or ten
days, when the Senate bill would pass
that body by strict Republican vote
that then the entire tariff business would
be relegated to Committee of Confer
ence, which would promptly agree to
disagree that the Democrats would
insist upon free wool, that the Repub-
licans would refuse to make wool free,
and that ali tariff legislation of the
present session, which latter he thought
would last until about August 18th,
would die in conference. All this, OF
course, is to great degree conjectural,
but Senator Allison is no doubt a.
competent to hit upon the likely pro-
gramme of Congress in regard to thi:
matter as any one would be.

tor effective local temperance work and
for the breaking up of legitimatized
liquor traffic in the states would be
materially increased and promoted.
This is the result looked for by RepuC
licans as the outcome of the repeal OF
the system of internal revenue taxation.
We believe it Is wise craftsmanship to
so shape and control the taxation OF
alcoholic liquors as to reimburse the
state for the burdens the traffic in them
imposes upon it. The general govern
ment does not need the revenue arising
from this system. The emergency
which called it into existence is past
The expense to the state, to the
county, to the town of the liquor traffic
is ever present with the existence of
that traffic. Until an advanced and
educated public sentiment shall finally
abolish the manufacture and traffic
absolutely, to the state and not to the
general government belongs all the
revenue derivable from them. The
Internal Revenue Plank of the Chicago
platform looks to this final result, and
therefore we believe it right. The Dem
ocraric campaign cry of "free whiskey,'
will shake no intelligent Republicans
confidence in the correctness OF that
conviction.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1888-07-21

The more the internal revenue plank
OF tine Chicago platform is discussed,
and the plan by which the Republicans
propose that the United States govern
ment shall 60 out of the whiskey bust
ness is examined into, the more it will
commend itself to the intelligence and
favorable judgment of the people. eff, ;"
says the platform, "there should still
remain larger reserve than is requisite
for the wants of the government we
favor the entire repeal of internal taxes
rather than the surrender of any part of
our protective system at the joint be-
hest of the Whiskey Trusts and the
agents of foreign manufacturers. Every
true temperance Republican will con-
cede that when the whiskey trusts can
no longer entrench themselves behind
the general government very import
ant step has been taken towards their
fual suppression.

WHIsKEY.

We do not care what any ones views
about temperance or total ahstlnance III "
be; every man who values either law or
order. or national couvivialrty, must haze
whisky, or must desire, il he cannot ban
ish it from the land altogether. to see it
made hard to procure. There is no great
er delusion than to suppose that a glass
of whisky can be considered the social
glass;" or that real couviviality-that is,
the free interchange Of ideas, or jokes,
or songs, or quIps, or crauks of any des-
cription-is promoted thereby. On the
con r'ry. it is IA highly anti-social drink.
L. rapidly produces either stupor or ex-
IRENE irrita bility, and is, indeed, espec
ally adapted to the needs of the solitary
drinker. 1t never tastes so well as in the
private jug of the lonely topper. 1t is a
liquor which is probably only drink i'll

men who wish from the b ,ttom of their
hearts they could give it up. and find that
it fills their blood not with the 'hawny

The Democratic Cry of Free

Since the announcement of the

of the Democratic party have made the
astounding discovery that the Kepubli-
cans are not true friends of temperance,
and that the abolition of the internal
revenue tax upon alcohol as proposed
by them means "free whiskey." There

THE WISDOM THAT WAS BORN OF
DEFEAT.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says; "a canvass of
the Republicans who have been for two
or three days in conference at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel discloses the existence Of
a determination on the part of all the
leaders to win this election, if such
thing is possible, and they believe it is
Defeat has been a bitter experience. 1t

factional discord that existed VIII, n the
party was in power, and, while there is
an absence of the enthusiasm which
would have controlled the rank and file
of the party if Blaine had been nomin.
ated, on the other hand there exists the
strength that comes from harmony. Not
in many years has the party been so
united. A united deleg alton from New
York at Chicago Was a marvellous exhibit
tion of harmony in State long rent
with political feuds, but it is to be sur
passed by the unprecedented wonder of
the unanimous nomination of Warner
Miller tor Governor. With greater har-
mOny there is also evidently determin.
alton to run this campaign on scientific
principles, to leave nothing to chance,
and to avoid the bluuders that involved
the party in disaster four years ago. The
placing of the entire active management
OF The campaign in the hands of SO ac-
complished IA master of practical politics,
as Senator Quay is regarded as clear
evidence OF che new wisdom that is con
trolling Republican affairs. The belief
of men experienced in politics and whose
Judgment is not lost in their enthusiasm
is that this contest is not to be a walk
over Tor either side, but a battle of giants
with the issue unce, tain. If the talk at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel is to be relied
upon. the Republican plan of campaign
is not to abandon New York by any
means, nor on the otf. II hand to stake all
npon it as in 1884, but to make tremeu-
dous effort to carry Indiana and Connec
ticut, making at the same time hot
fight in New Jersey and West Virginia
all the while carefully guarding the sure
Republi States from Democratic in
roads. The Repub licans do not intend to
let the contest go by default, but will
fight every inch of ground, and wnoeve.
wins will probably do so by narrow
margin. That at any late, seems TO b.
the outlook at present aud is the judy
ment of conservative men of both par
ties.

Bob Ingersol: People think that if

that is the last Of the thieves; that if
those who kill others are hanged society
is on safe and enduring basis. But
the trouble is here: A man comes to your
front door and you drive him away.
Yon have an idea that man q case is set
tied. You are mistaken. He goes TO
the back door. He is driven away. But
the case is not yet settled. The next
thing you know he enters at night. He
is burglar. He is caught, he is con.
victed; he is cent to the penitentiary,
and you imagine that the Gaze iB settled.
But il is not. You must remember that
you have to keep all the agencies in life
for the purpose of taking care OF these
people. You have to build and maintain
your P5Ditentiaries, your courts OF JUS
tice; you have to pay your judges, your
your district attorneys, your juries, your
detectives, your police-all these people
must be paid. 30 that after all, IL is a
very expensive way of settling this ques.

Funds for the Tar Heels

Washington special: By an accident
1t was discovered to day that the char
man of the democratic central commit
tee of North Carolina, has addressed O
large number OF circnlsrs to the em-
ployes OF the pension and other depart
ments here soliciting contributions to
the campaign fund IN the Tar Heel state.
The form of the CIRCULAR is that usually
employed in this business and the
solicitation is earnest. This is, of course,
a direct violation OF the civil service
Law, and the person sending them could
be punished severely. A trick is used
with view to evadiDg the civil service
law. Every name used in the addresses
has aslight Typographical error. The
addresses are all, however. sufficiently
plain and accurate to warrant the
delivery of the letters. Although hun
dreds OF these solicitations have been
received in the various departments and
especially in the pension office, no COM
plsint has been made and the fragrant
violation of the law is wInked at by the
officers in charge.
