IRE the election of Garfield over Han
cock. One of the strongest, and sup
poses to be, one of the most damaging
charges made against the democratic
party by Mr.. Conkling in that memo
rable effort was that it was unfriendly
to the internal revenue system, and if
il had the power would abolish or re
duce the taxes upon whiskey and to-
bacco. The charges was not well
founded The democratic party was
then and is still IN favor of maintain
ing the internal revenue system to
make the reduction of tariff taxes
possible. The sweeping charge Of Mr..
Conkling is only called to mind how
the republican leaders have shifted
their position in regard to excise
taxes. Their party followers should
not allow themselves to be blindly led
into pitfalls which will be sure to
cause their political destruction.

The high protection leaders of the
republican party are everywhere mar
shaling their forces for a stand against
any reduction of import duties and in
favor of the abolition of the internal
revenue system. All honest rcpub-
Leans, who have the welfare OF the
whole country at heart, should halt
and consider we'll the issues now before
the people before they allow them
selves to be placed i'll any such awk-
ward attitude, as demanding cheap
whiskey and tobacco, and dear neces-
saries of life. The careful reading
and thoughtful consideration of the
following article from that great re-
publican newspaper, The Chicago
Tribune, would do much toward open
ing their ewes To the true situation of
political affairs in the beginning of
the campaign of 1883:
1.-The Union League club, of New
York, made up largely of trust -robber
monopolists, has declared by vote of
nearly to |, in favor of free whiSkey
and tobacco and the loss of the 100
millions of revenue derived therefrom,
The exact language of the resolution
which the club adopted to its lasting
disgrace, is rs follows: I'VE advo-
cate at the earliest practicable day the
abolition of the internal revenue de
partmeut of the United States as the
safest and wisest way of reducing the
surplus in the treasury, and preserving
the great principle of protection to
American industry" Thus the alleged
republicans of the Union League Club
plant themselves on the same platform
with Confederate Senator Joe Brow II
OF Georgia and the Illicit moonshine
whiskev distillers of the south. They
are seeking fellowship with the clay
eaters who are willing to go barefoot
and keep their families in rags pro
vided their jugs are well filled with
cheap whiskey and the expense of
getting drunk is made low This club
demand for war taxes on necesSaries
of life. and for cheap intoxicants and
narcotics is immoral, vicious, and pc
culiarlv shameful when made by re-
publicans.
The internal revenue tax on whiSkey
and tobacco is one of the least onerous
and most justitiable leyies made by
the government 1t is an honest tax
There are no incidental bountieS con-
nected with it. but every dime of tax
imposed on the consumer goes into
the federal treasury for the support OF
the government. Moreover, no one is
mulcted by the whiskey and tobacco
tax against his will. Any one who
desires can escape the tax altogether
and improve his health and morals by
freeing himself from the liquor anC
tobacco habits. When heavy tax il
levied on a necessary of life, like coal
salt, lumber, blankets, clothing, boots
shoes, hats, bonnets, iron, glass, fur
niture, crockery, etc, there is no choic,
but to pay the tribute and bounty t
the government or the manufacturers
but when it falls on such Legitimate
subjects of taxation as whiskey ant
tobacco the tendency is to restrict per
nicious indulgence, and reinforce TIT
