should do, and if they don't become
interested, get on without them or
even in spite of them. 1t gives the
obstructionists too much Importance
altogether to be eternally pointing to
the fact that they are in the road.
Are there no roads but one? If they
won't get out of the way, make a new
road; push forward to prosperity. In
this, newspaper can be but "as
the voice of one crying in the wilder
ness make straight the way of the
Lord" can be but as a finger board
pointing the way. But better that
than an echo of voice of wailing and
recrimination.
At present self-help is the essential
requisite for the advancement of this
community. The streets of Paris are
kept clean because every man keeps
clean that little strip of street and
sidewalk in front of his own door. If
each would bend his energies to the
advancement of the city as far as in
him lies, even in the line of his own
private interests, and not mind stop
ping so often to see what somebody
else Is doing, we would all get ahead
a good deal faster. It is just as easy
to form good habits as bad ones and
just as hard to break them. Too many
Astorians have formed the bad habit
Of crying and croaking and prophesy-
ing and bending double over Imagin-
ary worries, when if they would but
brace up and go heartily and steadily
to work, they would be vastly better
off in body, mind and fortune
As regards AS lot, while he has a
right to sell it, or hold it. or refuse to
do anything but chaw about taxes
it may not be amiss to suggest that
there is way to stir the sensibilities of
those who want to know why you are
trying to get immigration this way,
and ruin them by competition. The
only way to stir those who have a
fear of the future, who want to freeze
out everybody but themselves, and
who having had their names dropped
from duty's muster rolls are content
to slip down the back stairs to obliy-
ion, is to tax them. When an Astor-
ian refuses $1,000 for a lot that is
assessed on the tax roll for $1,000
with an alleged Indebtedness" of that
amount allowed, the aforesaid Asto-
rian ceases to be an obstructionist
and becomes dishonesty derelict.
He is no less swindler than the man
who refuses to pay his honest debts.
The swindle is perpetrated on the
rest of the community who pay for
streets, and lights, and police, and
courts. He gets equal benefit and
lodges his share of the bill. This is
dishonest. tits also foolish on the part
of those who pay taxes and allow it.
As between the taxpayers and the tax
eaters it becomes serious question.
If A and AS ilk take delight in re-
fusing to sell their property, an d
which they have a perfect right to dc,
let them pay for the luxury Of exclu-
sive possession by paying taxes on
about the same basis of values.
The present system of assessing
property in this city and county is a
farce.

of trashy paper money the specie
circular" was issued, which had the
effect to retllrn the ''wild cats for re-
demption. This demonstrated the
hollOwncss Of the banks and produced
q speedy collapse. As there was now
almost an entire and sudden failure of
the flood of paper money, business was
paralyzed, and it took some years to
recover health. The vast issue Of
State bonds aggravated the case.
But there are historical facts which
make it conclusive that II was not d
tariff panic. President Van Buren,
called an extra session of Congress
soon after the bank collapse to con-
slider measures of relief. Neither
Clay, Webster or any other member OF
Congress named the tariff rs the cause
of the trouble Mr.. Clay urged the
restoration of the National bank as
the great essential. No one in this
special session proposed any change of
tariff, nor did any one at any term OF
Congress during the two or three years
remaining of Van Barren Administra-
ton.

They have a financial cause. Our

cupidity OF capitalists whose interests
are protected at the expense OF the
people.
1t is proposed to reduce the rev.
cnue Of the Government $75, 900, 900.
Democrats insist that this be done
50 Us to reduce the burden of taxation
at the same time. They propose to do
this by reducing taxes on articles en-
tcring into manufactured products and
which multiply themselves fye-fold.
The total reduction Of the tariff on
imports by the Mills bin is, in round
numbers, so, 1000, 900, one fifth sugar.
OF the remaining 100000 900 it is
safe to say the manufacturers collect
5000, 600, 900 to the $40, 600 900 which
goes to the Government.
The sugar tax is almost as much a
revenue tax as the tax on tobacco.
Tho Democratic bill, therefore, re-
duces the taxes after this fashion:
Internal taxes NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. SO 100000
Sugar tax. ........ ............. 1O,O0lOE

In other words, the Democrats CON
slider first the taxpayers; the Repub-
lcans protect those who are contribute
ing of their fat for the election OF
Harrison.
It will be noticed that the reduction
Of revenue is the same in each case,
the Republicans thus cOnfessing that
the revenues are redundant and eX-
cessivc; that a surplus does exist, and
, should be reduced.
But they propose to reduce the rev.
enues and continue to the utmost the
robbery of the consumer under the
forms of law.
BY the adoption of the Mills bill the
indirect taxes collected by Carnegie
! and Jones, by the steel-rail trusts and
all other trusts, are reduced $780,
/ 900. 600.
BY the Senate bill they are reduced
at high estimate $20,OOO,000.

POOR. BLIND NEIL.

Sniy the Tragedy OF an Abused Horse.
Patiently dragging ahsavy load,
Urged By curBes, kicks and a goad,
Ever trying 20 limp still faster,
Comes Blind Nell with her drunken master.
Now the days work Of both is done,
Her masters supper is beer and bunG
a blow and curse he gives her for pay,
As he turns her loose upon the highway.
Three wicked boys, with sticks and stones,
Pelt with delight her heshless bOnesi
Her tail Is clipped, and the cruel flies
Bite undisturbed at her back and thighs.
Ear into the night her torments cease;
Under moon aud stars she at last hnds peace;
IN the grassy lane, she closes her eyes,
And sleeps, till with oaths she is told to rise.
Poor Nell! does she dream OF the little maid
Who once 'gainst her head a soft cheek laid,
While she called her poor horse" in a voice
50 kind,
And sobbed, when one told her Nell was blindi
Perhaps, o rapture, she sees once moret
And her eyes gloat over an ample store
OF juicy saplings, Of oats and OF hay,
In which she revels the hve-long day.
One night, exposed 70 q chilly rain,
She slept TIL some one pulled her mano
And said, Lets give her good, square feed
For once in her life, ere we do the deed"
So Of stolen oats they give her a feast,
She eats them Zreedily-poor starved beasti-
Then each takes hold of her grizZled name,
And they lead her silently out OF the lane,
Through the long street, past the old saw-mill,
Through upsloping fields, 10 the wooded hill,
Where, alas 70 make PHYS voice quite dumb,
They stop 20 drink from a flask Of rum.
Now standing upon the verge OF a crag,
Behold the poor, blind, coniding nag,
Patiently waiting her guides between,
While far below yRwns the dark ravtne.
The miscreants laugh with hendish glee,
As they both look down and then backward
fee;
Together their voices thunder. 800"
And she steps to the rocky depths below.
Then the wretohes depart without remorse,
She was 'only Blind Nell, the drunkard't
hOrse;"
But the pines on the clin swept by the gale
Drop tears where she fell and raise wall
June pinks and ferns grow among the stones
On which crumble the poor brute's bones,
And there the thrush looking toward the sky
Joins his song with the crag-pine's sigh
