WHEN Mr.. HARRISON was member OF
the U. s. Senate he made speech IN which
he said: 1--WE are reducing our internal rev.
enue taxes to these three articles whisky,
beer, and tobacco, which by common con-
ssnt should remain at least till the andefnate
future upon our list of products upon which
excise taxes are to be levied" "Indetn'te
future And yet Mr.. Harrison is now the
Presidential nominee of q party that advo'
Gates the entire abolition of the INTERNAL
revenue system, and necessarily the removal
of the tax on the very articles which, fcuT
years ago, Mr. Harrison said should, by com
mon consent" remain. That men should be
inconsistent is natural, but when they at
tempt to make it appear that their gross
and transparent inconsistency is sincere
they show either that they are deficient IN
understanding themselves, or elae, what is
more probable, that they have an exceed
ingly poor opinion of the understanding OF
others.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY II.

NOTHING Is more common than to have
peop,e who don't know what they are taik
ing about say the South is in better auo
more prosperous condition now than sne
was before the war; That such is not the
case is sadly realized by every southern
man old enough to remember the easy ano
happy condition of his own Immediate
neighborhood previous to the war, and wise
enough to compare it with thatwhich exists
now. A glarng instance of the error re-
ferred to was developed iu the debate on
the tariff in the U. S. House of Representa-
tiyes day or two ago, when it was SHOWN
that whereas in 1858 the Louisiana sugar
crop amounted to 1862 296 hogsheads, in 1856
it had dwindled to las. $685. That is sam
pie of the material degeneration OF the
South. That morally her degeneration has
progressed at equal pace, is proved by her
prison statistics, but more strikingly BY the
action of Virginia with reference to her pub
lie dc b.

THE REPUBLICAN committee Oh education
of the republican U. s. Senate has reported
favorably upon proposed amendment to
the Constitution, the first section of which
provides that "The manufacture, importa-
ton, expectation, transportation and sale OF
all alcoholic liquors as beverage shall be
hereby and forever prohibited in the United
States ia every place subject to their juris-
diction." This is 10 i'll accord with the ma.
tional platform OF the republican party,
which declares that rather than reduction
in the tax on the neceesaiies of life. tbeta1 on
whisky must be removed, and the use of
that article be made free.

THE OLD WIG tariff was SO per cent. The
present tariff is Al per cent. By the latter,
therefore, the tax on the necessaries of life
very nearly doubles their cost. Now man
who works for wages, certainly if he have 8
family, has very little left of those wages
after paying his weekly bills. With the tar

GEN. FISK, the prohibition candidate Tor
President, says: 10 the Northern States, OF
our new strength sixty per cent. is repuoii-
can and forty per cent. democrat. AS we
go South the percentage of democrats in
creases. The organization for prohibition
in some of the Southern States is going on
at pace to frighteu democrats" The
democrats of Virginia should make al
lowance for the prohibition vote IN
their estimate OF work to be done next
fall. But, as all temperance men know
that Mr.. Fisk cannot be elected, ard
that the contest is between party which
has declared for free whisky and one which
advocates the retention Of the whisky tax,
why any of them should throw their ballots
away, and not cast them for the latter is not
easily understood. The abuse OF whisky is
great curse; but it cannot be abated by
making that article cheaper snan it is.
