Kentucky pays the largest Inter,
nal Revenue taxes Of all the States
of the Union, by immense odds, in
proportion to its wealth and yet il
is the voice of Kentucky that they
are the least costly National taxes
the people pay, and the returns on
them are the largest to the payers.
They are taxes the people pay for
pleasures instead of necessities, and
besides, Kentucky producers Of the
commodities taxed, merely advance
them for the consumers in all the
States. They also like the govern
ing idea of a tax which 50 per cent.
goes clear into the Treasury, in

a most wonderfeI invention j. Re.


A most wonderful invention is re-
por,ed from Vienna, An Austrian
engineer has, it is said, designed a
truck to be run before every railway
train, being maintained always at
fixed (but adjustable ,iistcpee in
front BY the force of an Iectric eur.
rem, transmitted along the metals
from a dynamo on the engine The
current is connected IN glass tubes
on the pilot truck. II, sherefore,
the truck comes into collision, the
tubes are broken and The contact
necessarily destroyed. The inter.
ruption ofthe eurreLt instantly and
automatically applies the brakes on
the following train. It is claimed
by the inventor that two express
trains f4ed with this invention
might with IMMUNITY be set 10 run
full tilt against each other. The
collision Of both prot trucks would
arrest tbs progress o, both trains
before they could meet.

CONSISTENCY?

The Republicans howl free trade" be-
cause the Democrats want to reduce the
war taxes to an average standard OF Az
Der cent. Now read what President
Arthur said.
II recommend an enlargement of the
free list, so as to include within it the
numerous articles which yield inconsid-
erable revenue, simpliication of the
complex and inconsistent schedule OF
duties upon certain manufactures, par
ticularly those of cotton, iron and steel
and substantial reduction of the duties
upon those articles, and upon sugar, mo
lasses, silk, wool, and wooden goods"
The Democrats say the same thing
exactly, and yet they are called free
traders. Republican Secretaries OF the
Treasury, such as Folger and Mccullough
expressed the same ideas as those We
have quoted from Arthur.
But when these come from Democrats
they are free trade"
