Here is an incident from the South
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. ~ am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the. beginning Of last
Winter was on trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. l
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. Iconsulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and 1 caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. l
got two bottlesof German Syrup. l
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear Of the Cough that had
hung to me SO long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. Ifelt tiP-top and
have felt that way ever since. ..

ministration.
1t is very difficult for the consumers of
the United States to appreciate the ex-
tent Of the burden imposed upon them
by the billion-dollar congress.
1t was supposed by the fathers Of the
republic aud the belief was current
until very recently, that the mainte-
nance of the federal government would
cost comparatively little; that the prin-
cipal taxes would be levied for state
and local purposes. Times have
changed, however. and taxes have
changed with them. The expenditures
authorizedi by the Fifty-frst congress
will amount to about SIG for each in
dividual in the country. This is the
per capita tax for two years, so that
really the average individuals annual
contribution to the expenditures of the
federal government is about IS. This
is very large tax. 1t is tax of abou!
$40 on the head of each family.
1t is also, according to the census OF
1880, u much larger tax than was then
paid by the average citizen Of the
United States for state and local pur-
poses. The average per capita tax
levied in the country in 1880 for state,
county, town and city purposes was
&C. 2S. In New England it was S1O.47;
in the middle states, $S.63; in the
southern states, So. 46; in the western
states, $6.97; in the territories, $40
The federal government is collecting
this tax for pensioners, a large part of
whom are not worthy old soldiers; for
the protection of manufacturers who
buy republican seats in congress and
the presidency; for river and harbor
improvements, many of which do not
benefit commerce.; for public buildings
that are not needed; for subsidies to
swell the profits of a few ship owners,
and for increased salaries to great
swarm of tax eaters. These favorites
of the party are costing the taxpayers
more than their local governments,
county governments and state govern.
ments added together. The largesse
and bounties given away by the repub-
lican congress cost the country more
than it is paying for its state admins
ira tions, for it's town and village Off
GERS, for it's city governments, for its
police, its health boards, its docks, it's
canals and all the clements of home adj
ministration.
If to the tax actually and directly
collected we add the bounties to the
tariff protected manufacturers and the
sugar growers we will realize that the
federal government under republican
rule is our most expensive luxury, but
just how expensive no one can tell.
And every dollar of it must come from
the earnings of the people--N. Y.
World.
