How the Mckinley Bill Cuts
Down the Revenue i'm This
District.

The internal revenue offices of this.
the Sixth collection district lately re-
ceived some important instructions
from Washington bearing on the
changes in the internal revenue law
made by the act reducing the revenue
and equalizing duties on imports.
The special tax imposed upon deal
ers in leaf tobacco, retail dealers in
leaf tobacco, dealers in tobacco, man
ufacturers of cigars and tobacco and
peddlers of tobacco are repealed after
May 1, 1891, but al excepting deal.
ers in manufactured tobacco are re-
quired to register with the collector of
the district where the business is car
ried on as to heretofore. The special
tax year in the case of other special
taxpayers is to begin July 1 instead of
May 1. Manufacturers of cigars are
required to give bond of 500 in.
stead of $500, with an additional 500
for each person proposed to be en-
ployed by them in making cigars as
at present.
The use of distilled spirits without
payment of tax by producers Of pure
sweet wines for certifying the wines
for the preservation of the saceharine
matter contained therein, is author
lied under certain restrictions, The
wine spirits go used free of tax shall
not be in excess Of the amount reouir-
ed to introduce into such sweet wines
al alcoholic strength equal to ii per
cent of the volume of such wines af.
ter such use. Wines after such forth
ication shall not contain more than
"a per cent of alcohol and the use of
wine spirits free from tax shall be
confined to the months of August,
September, October, November, De-
cember. January, February. March
and April Of each year.
By these changes General Devol,
collector for the Sixth Missouri dis
trict, says that the special revenue
collections will be reduced in bis dis
trict by $4,000 affecting $1,000
special tax payers. General Devol
thinks that the manufacture of to-
bacco will be materially increased.
In view of the passage of the McKin-
ley bill there was IL, 900 pounds more
of tobacco manufactured in the
month of September than for the pre-
viOus month.
After July 1, 1891 and until July
l, 1905, there will be paid bonus of
two cents a pound to the producer of
sugar testing not less than ninety de-
gress by the polariscope, from beets,
sorghum or sugar cane, or maple sap.
Upon sugar testing less than ninety
degrees and not less than eighty, .

ing the political differences which
divide the nation into parties. All
along the route travelled by President
Harrison, democrats as well as repub-
licans have united to extend to him q
welcome. and everywhere for the time
being it has not been remembered
that he even represented a party.
The same result was noticeable when
Cleveland journeyed through the land
aud the fact was commented on at the
time that more republicans pressed
forward to shake him by the hand
than democrats. The reason for these
de demonstrations is that whoever repre-
seuts this grandest of all grand gov

and which commands loyalty, no mat
ter what political party may have
control of the Office. Democrats for

night at Woods Opera house. The
meeting was an impromptu affair on
account of the local committee not
receiving notice in season of the ap-

advertise it. The Opera house, ho ".
ever, was comfortably filled and the
audience enjoyed the able discussion
of the political situation by Hon. r.

audience by Hon. Wilbur F. futile.

speaker con6ned his address chiefly to
the tariff question and handled it in a
manner; his argument was
convincing, and his illustrations most
appropriate. Facts and proof flowed
in stream of eloquence which brought
forth frequent applause.
1t Is to be regretted that so able and
eloquent an argument could not have
been listened to by much larger
audience. ..'

A few DAYS ago man in New York

suicide because after years of toll ne
lost his small accumulations by an
unfortunate speculation and had not
the courage to "pull himself togeth-
er. He was sober, upright, industri-
Gus man too, in good health and with
plenty of friends but fortune had given
him the cold shoulder and he preferred
to dare the ills he knew not of rather
than to bear the ills be had. Oh what
fatal mistake. No man can afford
to lose eternity because of a misfor-
tune; no man can afford to acknowl-
edge himself a coward when the world
is so full of patient, Flooding heroes,
that every day fight greater battles
than those of Waterloo or Austerlitz

mothers boys are usually fed on sugar
plums and coddled with Christmas
toys.
He had to 60, there were'too many
mouths around his fathers table for
him to hang on and so he went out to
commence the platform on which he
expected some dav to build his nest of
prosperity. He often wanted to mingle
with boys of his own age and indulge
in their games but he never had time
and so the days went by and he
reached manhood without much edu
cation, beyond being able to read the
newspapers now and then, and at
last he was a m IN with trade of his
own and then he married and was
quite happy and by and by children
came to bless him and then more
children came and to-day he stands,
toil.worn, with never time to rest,
never time to take any recreation,
never time to even be sick stands be-
tween his family and want.
