him box of the pills. After that box had
been used he secured another. In three
weeks he began to feel little life in his arm;
at the end of four he could move his fingers;
at the end of two months he could walk, and
in three months he could shave himself with

As he told his story in the Herald office,
he looked the perfect picture of health. He
carries a box of the pills in his pocket, and
whenever he does not feel just right, he
takes them. They cured him after doctors

THE WAR TAX SHOULD GO.
A Needless Burden Imposed Upon the
People by the Admin
istration.

1t Is now manifest that the special
taxes levied by the war revenue bill
were needlessly burdensome. The
people were called upon to furnish at
least $100,000,000 more money per
year than was really required to prose
cute the war to finish, just as they
were called upon to furnish at least
100000 more men than were needed,
or ever likely TO be needed, for the
same purpose.
Not satisfied with raising $500, o00,-
600 by a special bond issue, the admin
istration forced through congress a
bill putting taxes on about everything
in sight, from patent medicines to
bank checks and from express pack
ages to kilograms. The American
people, with the same marvellous pa
thence they have shown in bearing
every burden and sacrifice, however
mistakenly and unnecessarily inn
posed upon them, uncomplainingly
submitted to this complicated and an
noying system of internal taxation.
1t is now known that the collec-
lions under the war revenue bill will
surely yield 100000 by the end of
the current fiscal year. That sum,
added to the $500, 900, 900 derived from
the bond issue, will bring the extraor-
binary revenue of the treasury for war
purposes up to $340. 100000. 1t is also
known now that the total cost of the
war up to the end of the current fiscal
year will not exceed $235, 900. Still
further, it is known that the increas-
ing volume OF imports is likely to in
crease the ordinary revenue of the
government, derived under the old
laws, by about $4,000, 900 within the
same period.
In short, the financial prospect be-
fore the country is that, unless the su-
perfiuous war taxes are repealed,
there will be an enormous treasury
surplus on June 80, 1899, which the
country has no use for.
These special war taxes should be
repealed. They were imposed under
conditions that have ceased to exist.
They are yielding at least SAC, 600 600
year of unnecessary revenue. They
are taking just about 100000 day
out of the pockets of the people need
lessly and for no purpose whatever
except to pile up huge surplus in the
treasury which will be a menace to
the financial and commercial welfare
Of the country.
These war taxes will continue to be
collected month after month, year
after year, until they are modified or
repealed altogether.
Muster out the unnecessary war
taxes as well as the unnecessary war
