MERCHANT AND GUARDSMAN.

During the coming summer number OF our
New-York and Brooklyn militia regiments will
be ordered to the State Camp at PeekSkill.
Many, and it is to be hoped all, Of the guards
men are looking forward to their bi-yearly en-
campment with pleasure, and will bring back
from it much that is valuable besides military
discipline. But it should not be forgotten that
their going will be in the line Of duty and that
their outing will not be primarily frolic The
week spent in camp is spent in the service OF
the State, and ought not to be deducted from
the vacations of those members of the regi-
ments who are not their own masters
The National Guard, especially that part of
IL which is enrolled in this city, is literally
treated by the taxpayers but there is no charity
in the expenditure. The policy Of creating
and keeping efficient this body of citizen sol
diers has been deliberately adopted as matter
of prudence, and, in the long run, OF economy.
The business men who have guardsmen in
their employ enjoy their full share Of the Sc
curity which the State and, above ALL the
| metropolis, believe to be guaranteed by the
existence Of the militia. But beyond this we
think it is generally conceded that they derive
an individual advantage from the health,
strength and sobriety, and the general discipline
Of mind and body which such employees bring
to their service. They are therefore doubly
repaid, and the cheerful surrender Of seven
days in the year is small Offset They have
no right TO conclude that a week in camp is a
more enjoyable way Of spending half Of short
vacation than their clerks could devise FOL
themselves Doubtless there is ordinarily
good deal Of pleasure in it, but there is not
much rest, and bad weather may bring grea
discomfort and even genuine misery. 1t is es
sen.ially a time OF work and Of exactions o.
various sorts, and we venture to say that how
ever cheerfuly they may anticipate 1t and how
ever agreeably on the whole it may pass, thu
guardsmen are almost always heartily glad u
get homo again.
These observations are not made at random
but are designed TO attract the attention, and !
possible, to change the practice OF employer
who have behaved stability in past years towar
! mibtianen in their service similar state
ment Of what seems TO US to be the sensible,
] well as the patriotic, view Of the matter, wa

u1cnlLcENSE RECORD.

Tho Governor has not announced yet blS
decision upon either the Excise Commission or
Voddor Tax bills. The Legislature responder
n the hone we early expressed. and passed the
Io,tor along with the Commission bill. Ihcrc
Is no Inconsistency, as Mr.. Crosby pointed out
IN the Assembly, between these two measures
rho Commission bill is largely one Of codifica-
tion substituting one harmonious measure 1or
q iangle of ancient and conflicting laws ~
also improves the restrictive quailneS OF 'he
nresent laws and makes considerable increase
in the license fees. The Nedder Tax BIN makes
another addition to the fees, and If Governor
Hill would sign both bills the result would he
n creditable approach to high license, consider
ing the fact that his subservience 70 the liquor
dealers renders impracticable any radical leglS
Iation The fact that he will doubtless veto
both bills does not dctract from the honor due
TO the Legislature for passing them. It's record
upon this subject is one upon which the ma
iority may safely appeal to the people.
II is interesting ~ know just what figure the
various Equor taxes would reach under these
two bills. The Vedder bill, as passed, taxes
all places licensed to sell liquors Of any kind to
be drunk on the promises 500 year, and
wines, or both, TO be drunk on the premises
$40 a year. Adding these figures to thee
fixed in the Commission bill, we have the FOL
lowing: Hotels, inns and taverns, licensed to
sell spirituouS liquors. wines, ale or beer, TO DO
drunk on or of the premises, would pay IN
cities not less than 50 90 year and not moE'
than $500; in t,wns not less than $500 and
not moro than $3.50. Saloons for the sale Of
spirituous liquors, wine ale or beer, 10 be drunk
on or of the premises, would pay, in cities not
less than $500 year and not more than $500
Saloons licensed to sell wines ale and beer
only, to be drunk on the premises, would pay IN
cities, not less than S95 nor more than 81 o.
and in towns not less than $40 and not more
than Sl2O; storckccpcrs in cities, would pay
not less than 81 3 and not more than $3.50, and
in towns not less than $50 nor more than 81 10 ;
drug stores, 50
The two acts working in unison would make
a very fair High License law. That feature Of
the Vedder bill which has aroused the most oI-
position. and upon which Governor Hill chiefly
based one Of his misleading vetocs, was re-
moved before It's passage. II no longer pro
yideS that the proceeds Of the tax shall inurc
to the benefit Of the State but directs that the
| share of each county shall be deducted from it,
| share of the State tax. Whatever Governor
Hill may do with these measures, the people
will not forget that the Republican Legislature
passed bills which would have greatly re-
stricted the LIQUOR traffic, and would at the
same tine have lightened the burden OF tax
alton for every citizen.

only proof that protection is accomplishing

The few men who strive to be candid ana

unfairness of the average Free Trader than
they can transform British manufacturer into
