Justice and sound policy forbid the
Federal Government to foster one
branch of industry to the detriment Of
another; that every citizen and every
section of the country has right to
demand and insist upon an equality of
rights and privileges: and that
no more revenue ought to be raised than
is required 10 defray the expenses Of

"A tariff for revenue upon foreign
imports.
1875.
I'VE deuounce the present tariff,
levied upon nearly 1000 articles, as
a masterpiece Of injustice, inequality
and false pretense. II yields a
dwindling, not yearly rising, revenue.
II has impoverished many Industries to
subsidize a few. II prohibits imports
that might purchase the products Of
American labor. II has degraded
American commerce from the first to
an inferior rank on the high seas. 1t
has cut down the sales Of American
manufactures at home and abroad, and
depleted the returns of American ag
riculture-an industry followed by half
our people IL costs the people five
times more than II produces 10 the

Smiths Tonic Syrup.

This famous remedy was discovered by
the eminent DR.. John Bull, of Louisville,
Ky. 1t is intended as a scientific substi-
tute for quinine and is rapidly superseding
the use Of this drug. For any ailment that
may indicate heed of quinine, Smiths
Tonic Syrup may be prescribed in prefer
ence and with more satisfactory results, rs
it never leaves any unpleasant after
effects, such as fullnees Of the head, head
ache, buzzing in the ears, deafness, uneasy
OF aching sensations nausea, oonvui-
sions. paralysis. etc. 1t has ell the good
medicinal qualities Of quinine and Ia free
from its many evil tendencies. AS tonic,
antiperiodic and antipyretic, 1t Is unex-
celled by any drug known to medical
science. In cases Of malaria, colds, influ.
enza, inordinate temperature of the body,
feverish SYMPTOMS, chills and fever, etc
no o her remedy can bs used with such
certainty Of beneficial effects. Il Is cor
tain antidote for the evil influences Of
malaria and climatic changes.

A Touching Appeal.

In the Cincinnati postofiice yesterday, In
the general deposit of mail gathered a,
noon, was a much .thumbed and tear
stained postal card The writing upon
it was In child's hand, trembling and
uncertain. The address was: ''My dear
mamma in heven" The letter was as
follows:
"home.
''dear mamma Il am so lonesome sins
you went to heven. want to 20 to you,
the time seems go long. you said could

but she is not like you. You sho this to
God and send for me sure, my arm hurts
me so and you sad it would be we'll in
heven. send you kiss, from me, little
"DoRA"
Cold indeed must be the heart that does
not moisten the eye that looks upon that
touching and pathetic letter, with its baby
love and urquestioning faith and illustra-
ton of the love between child aud mother
that passeth understanding TIE whole
world of pathos is in the child cry, Mrs.
Clarke is kind to me but she is not like

It Is one of the most touching appeals

phan. for she speaks of Mrs Clarke, and
she must be a sufferer, for she speaks of
h. arm hurting her so. The little thing
has been pining for her mother, and per-
haps some one has told her to wr1te, or
maybe it has been an inspiration of her
own-qaite likely. 1t would seem that
there ought to be some reply to that. 1t

Boys and Cigarettes.

The use OF cigarettes by boys is an
alarming and growing evil. The wide
prevalence of the habit is seen from the
fact that the annual manufacture of them
is l 200, 900, 900, and so, 900, coo more are
imported. A bill has been introduced in
the Senate to prohibit the selling, giving,
or furnishing of cigarettes or tobacco in
any of its forms to minors under sixteen
years of age in the District of Columbia.
A petition was presented In favor of the
bill from 257 physicians in the District,
who had given the subject special atten-
ton, and had become impressed with the
belief that it was very great and serious
evil. Senator Stewart concurred in this,
saying that cigarettes are destroying more
youth than any other one thing that is
affecting the prosperity of the country"
Besides the petition signed by the doctors,
there was one signed by SO ,lergymen,
and another by 524 supsrintendents, off,
GERS and teachers of public schools. The
New York Tribune in referring to the
above, says: "Thers seems to be no cessa-
ton in the rate of deaths from cigarette
smoking. Every few days the newspa-
pers report new victim. The other day
a case was announced where a boy, Cr
young man, had smoked five packs day
for some little time previous" A state.
ment was published some months ago, and
never disputed, that according to the esti-
mates Of New York physicians, there are
not less than 5000 cases of impaired health
in that city traceable to cigarette smoking,
a consic cradle proportion being of boys
1t is obvious that the deaths directly
from this habit, as In the
instance mentioned above, do not give
even faint idea of the damage done
One of the best known doctors claims that
this practice checks the growth of boys,
and lays the foundation for throat and
lung diseases, dyspepsia, ETC., which do
not develop themselves until q later
period. -Sekection.

Sunday Observance.


The New York Obserper protests against
the opening of the Worlds Fair on Sunday
as boil an Innovation and disgrace:
Hitherto in the great enterprises Of
this character in different parts of the
world, the English speaking nations have
testified their respect for, and interest in,
the Sunday as day of rest. They have
been improved as opp ,rtunities for main
tanning before the world the dignity and
seriousness of nationalities enlightened by
the Word of God Now en- our own soil.
where the people and the laws have ever
been favorable to Sunday observance,
especially in matters relating to the s ate
and general government, it is proposed to
make this great festival national
declaration of disregard for the Sabbath,
and in favor of the adoption of the
customs of our foreign visitors. Patriot.
ism alone ought to make men shrink from
consenting to this Sunday opening.
There is but one plea in it's favor that
has the slightest FEASIBILITY, and il this
were true, 1t is counteracted by many
other more important considerations.
But 1t is not true. 1t Is not true tina
Sunday is the only day on which masses
of the people can visit the fair. For such
an occasion there is no difficulty in obtain
Ing special holidays for every class, and
in this way doubling the opportunities OF
rest and recreation for the laborers.
Even without these special facilities, all
who wish can easily see the Fair, just as
all who wish can see the Wild West and
hundreds Of other less fascinating shows
which are not open on Sunday. This cry
for Sunday opening as boon to the labor
er. is q mistake or a fraud. 1t asks for
the very thing that imperils the Sabbath
as day of rest, and threatens to make
America as the Continent, place where
the law gives no one legal right to rest
on one day in seven.
