CREDIT THE TAXPAYERS.


10 the U'OrLpnm'S Adrosdte;
Upon opening "A package of tobacco |
found therein slip published by the
manufacturers entitled, " Facts You
Can Bet On" quote the sixth alleged
fact:
THAT in the last twenty-one years
this factory has helped support the
United States Government to the extent
Of over fortV-four million, seven hun
dred thousand dollars (SH, 700, 600 paid
into the United States Treasury in Inter
nal Revenue taxes.
This is one of those facts which are
not strictly true, and as it seems to be IA

stlncts of the American people, join is

been so often provoked with statements
of the immense amounts contributed by
wealthy individuals and corporations in
the form of taxes, while in fact they do
absolutely nothing of the kind. But to
the question, | do not for moment
question the statement Of this company
as to the amount they have paid in In
ternal Revenue taxes; but this amount
they have added to the cost of produc-
ton, with profit upon the whole; the
jobber has added another profit upon
the top of the manufacturers charges,
the wholesaler has added another profit
to the jobbers price, and the retailer has
collected another profit, not only upon
the cost of production, but the money
paid for taxes and the interest charged
by the manufacturer thereon, and a
| profit upon all the other profits charged
by the other middle men, and the con
sumers paid the whole; therefore the
consumers paid this tax, with an enorm-
GUS rate of interest, which would bank

from the business of the country in the
form of taxes, IL dollar and half is ex.

people should receive the whole credi,
for paying the taxes, as they pay sc
much for the privilege of paying then

WHAT is A WOMAN LIKE

A woman is like-but stay
What a woman is like who can say:
There is no living with or without one.
Love bites like a fly
Now an ear, now an eye
Buzz, buzz, always buzzing about one,
When she's tender and kind
She is like, to my mind
And Annie was so, | remember
She : like tO-oh, dear
Shes as good, very near,
As a ripe melting peach in September.
If she laugh, and she chat,
Play, joke, and all that,
And with smiles and good hum0r she
meet me,
She 5 like rich dish
OF venison or fish
That cries from the table, " Come, eat
me ="
But she'll plague you, and vex you,
Distract and perplex you;
False-hearted and ranging,
Unsettled and changing
What, then, do you think she is like
Like sands Like a rock?
Like Wheel Like a clock
Aye, Il clock that is always at strike.
Her heads like the island FOLKS tell on,
Which nothing but monkeys can dwell
Oni
Her hearts like lemon so nice,
She carNes for each lover slice,
In truth, she's to me
Like the wind, like the sea
Whose raging will henrkrn IT, no man;
Like mill like a pill,
Like a fail, like whale,
Like an ass, like glass,
Whose image is constant to no man
Like "a shower, like a flower,
Like fly, like pie,
Like pea, like IA flea,
Like a thief, like-n brief
She's like nothing on earth but-a wo

The Demo-, says: The story is being
told by local republican lights in this
county that the Mills bill makes no re-
duction in the duty on sugar, while
the facts are that the bill as passed
the House makes a reduction OF about
20 per cent. The republicans voted
almost solidiy against giving this slight
relief" You don't say SOP The re-
pnblicans introduced an amendment
to the Mills bill to reduce the duty on
sugar to AZ per cent, just one half,
and every democrat voted against it.
They also wanted the duty on rice re-
duced TO so per cent, one half, and
every democrat voted against it.
Why did they do sol Because they
are Southern products. If the pro
ducts of the South need protection,
those of the North which are much
larger should be, to the same extent, II
not greater. The democrat party of
the North has always rouoirri to- the
interests of the South, and when thar
section was engaged i'm the raising of
human stock for the market, which
they crossed with their own blood for
the purpose of improving it, gave
them the Fugitive Slave Law which
made it the duty Of every man in the
North to act as hound i'm running
down fugitives from slavery, or made
him liable to a fine of $500, il he re-

OF democrats in their legislatures thew
passed what was called BLACK Laws"
which were as infamous as their origi-
majors, making it penal offense for
n slave to enter the state or for white
man to employ or harbor them. The
state from which the party claims to
have received its birth and which fur
nished its ablest men, according to the
statistics on file in most any library,
made more money raising negroes for
the market than they realized from all
their other productions. They were
in favor of home production, as the cen
sus OF 1860 shows. that there were 60
per cent. more Mulattoes in that State
