TAX JUST THE SAME.
Whether as a..Bounty or a Tariff.

A gentleman who resides not fal
from this place recently wrote let
ter to the Register in which were
some points for those who believe
the tariff is not a tax. We repro
duce large part of it below:
1t has been some time since the
rural portion of this county has
been represented in your columns.
We have rural portion-such is
an undisputed fact-but they are
seldom called in question only as
factors when some revenue is to be
raised, or rather when the question
is being considered. "How much
tax can they pay?' Taxes local,
taxes State, taxes National; taxes
early, taxes often. Lay on, McDuff
and cursed be he who first cries hold
enough!
We still have those who believe a
tariff as not a tax, and the only way
to prosperity is over the one road
taxation. 1t seems they never will
understand that the best way te
make people enjoy their money is to
let them appropriate it themselves,
Fortunately for US, we are not in a
political campaign now, and we hope
to learn by observation. We notice
that in Ohio the old story of the
pigs and bugs is being utilized
Blessed Mckinley, free sugar brought
down fully 50per cent, while pro
lection cheapened most other articles
and made very bountiful crops for
the farmer and gave good foreign
market by failure of their crops.
We notice that tin plate will be
much cheaper in year or ttco; not
however till after the election is over
but the promise is all we want-and
yet very much may depend in that
case on free trade in Welsh labor
No! that cannot be, for we protect
home labor, home capital, home in
dustries. We think it is Adam
Smith who explains that if we trade
with each other we have ttco profits,
but if we trade with somebody else
we have only one.
This reminds us of story,as Lin
coin used to say. Once upon a time
we bad two brothers of the home in
dustry order, and they spent mos
of their time during one winter sea
son trading vests with each other
In the spring each had the same vest
first owned by him and fifty cents in
money, realized in the home indus
try; all of which he religiously be
lieved. Many of the neighbors, how
ever could not fully understand how
the thing could be-but that did no
alter the facts in the case Suffice
it to say, the brothers grew up to b,
good Republicans, and to-day theil
posterity are well grounded in thu
faith that the tariff is no tax, thaf
free trade makes sugar cheaper, ant
tariff will cheaper tin, and that i
we trade with each other we will
have two profits.

About A o'clock this morning Rush
Bank, Greek living at 104 East
Polk street, was aroused by strange
noise, and, thinking that burglars
were in the house, he rushed over to
the Central station and gave the
alarm. Lieut.. Shippeo detailed a
couple of officers to investigate the
case. Upon arriving at the house
they found man Invested of all his
clothing calmly seated before the
stove warming himself. His trous-

on chair, and his shoes were care
fully placed in the hallway There
were no signs of the rest of his cloth

when the officers entered, and one of

Patriotism.
Southern Mercury, Dallas Tex.

oouthern mercury, OhilaS lex.
1t requires just as much patriot
ism to be loyal to the principles of
the Farmers Alliance and fight it's
enemies as it did for our forefathers
to wrest their freedom from the Brit
ish crown. They faced the English
army that was organized and manip-
ulated to rob them and ensIave their
posterity. We are organized to face
the money-hunting, blood sucking
cormorants who are organized and
maneuver for the purpose of robbing
us and enslaving our posterity by
laws. Our would be tyrants are just
as autocratic, just as exacting, and
their proposed system of slavery Just
as brutal as that attempted by Eng
land. Our weapons of defense are
not those used by our forefathers,
because the weapons of oppression
adopted by our tormentors are not
those used by their prototypes, the
Hessians. Our plutocrats are en-
Shaving us by laws they have dicta-
ted to our lawmakers. We are armed
with the ballot and purpose to re-
peal those laws at the ballot box, and
thus wrest plutocracy of its power to
enslave. 1t takes just as much pa
triotisn and self-sacrificc to repeal
bad laws by the ballot in the face of
millions of slush money now as it
took for our forefathers to face the
red coated bayonets. The same
principles are involved, and every
member of the Farmers Alliance
who now deserts his organization is
as much traitor to his country and
the freedom of his children as was
Benedict Arnold. The struggle the
Farmers Alliance is now making
concerns all men, and every lover of
justice will, if true to his principles,
align himself on the side of this or
ganization, because we are contend
ing for pure democratic principles
The lines are being tightly drawn,
and those who are not for us are
against us. The Alliance is com
posed of that class of people who
have built every democratic govern
ment that has existed. No demo-
cratic government has been subvert-
ed while controlled by agriculturists.
None have survived when they lost
control of it. Hence no good man fears
to trust them. The Farmers Alli-
ance is child Of necessity, born to
redeem the liberties of all the people
and to substitute government
purely democratic in fact as we'll as
in name, for the bastard plutocracy
that now rules the United States
with headquarters in Wall street.
The Mercury realizes that this is
very plain language. but that every
word of it is the truth, and the time
has come when the truth shoald be
told though the plutocrats should
take the rabies. The farmers of
America are law abiding people;
they have the elements of self gov
eminent in their hearts and minds.
They are beginning to assert their
birthright as freemen. They have
demanded reforms in the laws of the
United States, and they will have
what they demand in spite of every
bulldozing aristocrat in this country.
They are not fools, they are not
towards, they will succeed. The
Mercury proposes to fight the battle

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or
child living in region of country
where fever and ague is prevalent,
since the germs of malarial disease
are inhaled from the air and are
swallowed from the water of such a
region. Medicinal safeguard is alb
solutely necessary to nullify this
danger. AS means of terrifying
and acclimating the system so as to
be able to resist the malarial poison,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is in
comparably the best and the most
popular. Irregularities ofthe stom-
ach, liver and bowels encourage ma
laria; but these are speedily rectified
by the Bitters. The function of di-
gestion and secretion are assisted by
its use, and vigorous as well as
regular condition of the system pro
NOTED by it. Constitution and ply
sique are thus defended against the
inroads of malaria by this matchless
preventive. which is also certain
and thorough remedy in the worst
cases of intermittent and remittent
fevers.
