ONE HUNDRED and twenty years age
the people of this country went to wal
with Great Britain because the latter
made them pay tax on tea and put q
stamp tax on the paper they used.
The people of this country to-day pay
fifty per cent. tax on nearly every thing
they have to buy, and stamp tax on
their beer, spirits and tobacco, and then
are not permitted to drink any ofthe for
mer on Sundays, and, besides, on such
days are not even allowed the poor
privilege of being shaved.

AMONG THE reasons that induced
the forefathers of the people of this
country to take up arms against their
mother country, were that England had
obstructed laws for the naturalization
of foreigners, made judges subservient
TO the will of the administration, had
created horde of officials, had hinder
ed foreign and domestic trade, and
done many other things, which their
descendants now patiently submit to
from their own government. But
times change and men with them.

NOTHING could be moro absurd than
the talk of some of the sound money
democrats of the North, to the effect
that the silver men in the party are try
ing to divide and break it up, especially
as the very same men concede that the
silverites have almost, if not quite, q
two.thirds majority in the party's ma
tional convention. Majorities always
want to preserve, not to destroy, theil
party. The rule or ruin fellows are al
wavs in the minority. A true demo
crat invariably submits to the fairly and
regularly expressed will of the majority
of his party. he is not believer in
the "higher law" doctrine.

THE Northern republican press is
apotheosizing the late Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, but the fact that she
wrote and published the Infamous in
cestuous story about Lord Byron, leads
many to suppose that malice to the
white people of the South, rather than
love for the negroes of this section, was
the chief motive that inspired her to
write the book that supplied the excit-
ing, to the predisposing cause that had
long existed in the North, of the war
between the States, with all its many
dire and permanent evils.
