DR.. William Pepper. of Philadelphia,

Gen. Sheridans sudden death. as when
he visited him only few days before
death he was improving rapidly and felt
most sanguine aud continent of his own
recovery. The Doctor gives the following
official opinion of the case and its treat

At the time OF the early attacks the heart fail.
ure WAS intense that the walls of the heart
contracted very imperfectly and the cavities
became rapidly and greatly dilated. This was
much increased by the mechanical obstruction
due TO the organic disease OF the valves of the
heart which had existed for many months In
this state some heart-clos must have formed,
CURED unexpectedly, apparently due Ia
the sudden detachment Of portions of clot
which were carried from the right side of the
heart into the lungs. The most alarming spell
was connected with the development OF an ex-
tensive infraction OF the lower lobe OF the right
lung, followed by the development of aneurisms
around II. For weeks this WIS constant source
Of anxiety, but gradually 1t cleared away, the
heart gained power, its cavities contracted bet

apparent and serious.
When the heart trouble was Gt its worst grave
symptoms of congestion showed themselves
everywhere. The brain suffered. the liver and
stomach were so much engorged that hemor-
rhages occurred and were most fatal From the
shock the kidneys also suffered, shown
by a scanty, albuminous urine and swelling OF
the feet. But rs the heart slowly improved al

"Well may the economist stand
aghast," says j. S. Moore in the New
York Times, "when he considers how
anxious the farmer Is to get two or
three cents bushel for, say, 100
bushels of wheat he has for sale,
which, at the utmost, only amounts
to SO difference; and yet when he has
to expend only one-quarter of the
sum he receives for 100 bushels Of
wheat in Iowa or Kansas say, for
instance $1S, all told-in winter
dresses for his wife and daughters,
he actually pays over So in taxes on
account of the tariff besides the profit
that the several merchants make on
the goods. And that there may be
no mistake about this statement, let
me once more reterate and prove it
by facts and figures. In 1886 we i'm.
ported 25,200,570 square yards of
mixed wooden goods, which cost about
1857, 092.2S, or an average Of 233
cents per square yard. On this our
tariff exacted duty of "a ,41S, SSS.21
or as nearly as possible S2.1S per
cent. That is to say, there was tax
of over ia cents on square yard of
wooden dress goods that cost abroad
213 cents. Add to this that the
Treasury is actually cursed with a
surplus of $100,000,000 annually,
and the wonder that such a gigantic
tax extortion can exist is beyond all
comprehension. OF course, this is
only single item in the tax list, as I
have shown during the summer more
in detail how this tax system presses
all the farming population in every
article they have to buy and consume,
while the surplus agricultural pro-
ducts they raise they have to sell at
home at the lowest price prevalent in
London and Liverpool"

The taxpayers feel that they have
some rights that tax-eaters should be
taught to respect. The people know
that thirty per cent. of the existing
duties is distinctively a war tax, laid
as a compensation to manufacturers
for internal taxes that were long since
abolished. They know that this pro-
longed war tariff is not necessary for
either protection or revenue. They
will not endure longer tariff for sur
