LOWER THE TAXES. :.


Extracts from Hon. C. r. Breckinridgc's
New York Reform speech.
Gentlemen, our path is plain, our
duty is clear. Let us press for fair,
equal and constitutional taxation. Let
us cut loose from trusts and monop-
oily and come back at least to the old
claim Of protection. Let US come back
to the landmarks of peace. The pres
ent practice and purposes are contrary
to the letter and the spirit of our or
ganic law. Let us come back in this,
as in all things, to the constitution,
the sheet anchor of our hope, the mum
iment of our liberties, the warrant and
the limitations of our powers. The
people will not find prosperity, hap
piness and honor in the line OF class
legislation. Capital will not find sta
bility there. Men with good purposes
can not advocate it. The present con-
tention of these people is communism
gentlemen, in its worstiform; and these
people had as well be teaching the
toiling masses the use of dynamite as
to tell them that class legislation Is
right, and then also continue to make
it cheat, and fraud, and an engine
of oppression as they are doing now.
But. gentlemen, the arrogant, grasp
ing and vulgar rich will not control
this country, and neither viii the
mob. There is too much wealth, asso-
ciated with thought. culture and true
conservatism for extremists to sue
coed. This class is always in close
sympathy with the honest masses OF
the people. They know that liberty,
brotherhood, commerce, exchange and
prosperity all go hand in hand. II
oppression and restriction upon trade
were truly profitable, man would never
be free and nations would be consigned
to endless rivalries and strife. But
Gods law is intercourse, prosperity
and peace. Low taxes, economy, lib
erty, freedom, equality, justice. fair
play and prosperity go hand in hand.
The contest then is not between the
rich and the poor, but it is between the
selfish rich and the ignorant poor
upon the one hand, and the great body
of our people, rich and poor, who be-
lieve in equality and justice, upon the
other hand.
1t is between monopoly and pros
fperity. Organizations are springing
up all over the country in support OF
this cause; clubs like this great club Of
magic growth, able, patriotic and opu-
lent; clubs in my own State, composed
of men young and old, Jealous and
with you heart and soul; clubs every
where contending for equal laws among
a noble people who fear no nation in
any field or form; who believe in God
liberty and peace, who ask no privil'
eyes among themselves, and who viii
| spurn the hand that offers them. Lei
| us. then, plant ourselves upon the bed
rock of human rights Let us proclaim
its harmony with prosperity, increased
wages and happiness. Common sense
Il is with us. The constitution and thu
Declaration OF Independence are with
u.s. God Himself is with us. Ther
let us boldly unfurl our banner to the
breeze and go forth among the people
and ceaselessly expound the everlast
ing embiems upon its field.

There have been some few fluctuations during
the week, which have been noted in the prices
current below. Considering the fact tina in few
days vast multitude will be in the city to be fed,
there has been no appreciate advance in groceries
as general thing, either wholesale or retail, and
only such as has been due to fluctuations in mar
kets abroad.
The volume of business in the wholesale trade is
moderate but much larger than the same time last
year, much more cor fdence being NANTES ted now
than then The general tone of business in all de-
partments is, in fact, improved and improving,
The recent closing of the contract the Arkansas
Pass Railway company to Immediately build
branch to Austin, has Strengthening and enliven-
ing effect on the business situation generally.
The retail trade is active. both in groceries, pro
Visions western produce and dry goods. The stores
are crowded. and clerks and statesmen are kept
moving in way that looks like old times.
Eggs have slightly advanced since last weekly
report, and butter remains at about the same fig
ures. There have been some few Gales of wool at
13016c, but the market is languid and without
animation

Want of Sleep

Is sending thousands annually 10 the
insane asylum and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
is an Alternative and Blood-puritier,
Ayers Sarsaparilla is incOmpara6ly
the best. 1t corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless-
ness, gives increased vitality, and re-
stores the nervous system to health1ul
condition.
Rev. T. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass.
Home Missionary Society, writes that
his stomach was out of order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some inn
purity of the blood manifest; but that
a perfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Frederick w. Pratt, 424 Washington
street, Boston, writes: "My daughter
was Frustrated with nervous debility.
Ayers Sarsaparilla restored her to
health"
William F. Bowker, Erie, Pa, was
cured of nervousness and sleeplessness
by taking Ayers Sarsaparilla for about
two months, during which time his
weight increased over twenty pounds.

GRAIN AND PROVISION MARKETS
CHICAGO.


CmCAGo, May S.-Local speculative markets
opened quite dull this morning, with slightly lower
prices prevailing for wheat, corn and provisions.
As on Monday, the opening weakness was followed
by light rally, which, however did not last long,
and before noon quite bTiskl decline was started
In wheat and corn. The wheat market was tickle
one Outside Influences were about equally divided.
A prominent operator pounded the market, but
scattering buying, big falling OF in receipts, and
the fact that the government report is coming out
Thursday, made many people hold on to their
wheat for fear that they might get left if they
waited to buy later, and prevented any serioss
break in prices July wheat opened SAC, sold to
Sihc, back to St4c again to sac, back to S41sc,
and closed at S4hc.
There was a oecline of 1Hc in the price of May
corn to-day. Shorts seem to be pretty we'll COW
cred, and come h.ders of long corn were realizing
as best they could. There was also decline, but
less extensive in more deferred future, which was
partly because of very heavy short selling by sew
eral local bears. All this was in face of compgra-
tive light receipts, which failed to strengthen the
market. May corn opened at 51l4c, sold TO $3.50,
and closed at $3.50. July and June opened at
5555c, sold to 554c, declined to t55C, and closed
at 551sC, concentrated In early trading, when the
feeling was strong, especially for May delivery,
the shorts bidding that month up about &c.
Provisions were only moderately active, and
values steady. Short ribs received most attention
Foreigners are not taking hold so freely, AZ last
weeks shipments are large. Receipts are fair and
indications are that they will continue so come
time, as the high price has attracted shipments
from outeide points to this market. The shorts
have covered freely and the imT ression prevails
that the whole trade is well evened up.
July pork sold at li30614311s, and closed az
4.32h lard at S.22laG S.37IE, and closed at 27h
short ribs at 7t9hGI 20, and closed at 1914.
