JUSTIN :. MORRILL,, u. 5. Senator
from Vermont for over thirty-one
years past. died in his eighty-ninth
year, at Washington City, Dec.
2Sth, of In grippe. He went to Con
gress as Representative in 1855 and
was regularly reelected until in
1867, when he was elected Senator
Senator Morrill,, though not a
statesman of commanding ability,
rendered conspicuous services that
all, regardless of party, can ap-
plaud. His usefulness was render
ed possible by the New England
custom of retaining statesmen of
even moderate abilities in Congress
until they become especially use
full if not necessary to the party
through familiarity with their du-
ties, work and party's policies. The
custom no doubt has had much to
do with the great influence of New
England in national legislation
an influence disproportionate to the
population and wealth of that small
corner of a vast nation.

bidding
foreign warships an

s,,', ,s.1S s :rotection by a tariff is p
out in some important lines OF
manufacture and will soon be sub
stantially gone except where the
trusts monopoiize the protected
interests, but the bounty, as Ger
many has learned in sugar produc-
tion, is u tribute that must be con-
tinued and increased indefinitely to
meet the demands of its recipients.
The average national burden of
taxation on each producer of wealth
is about forty dollars yearly inde-
pendent of the protective tariff
taxation that is indirectly collect
ed and. goes to the protected inter
ests. What this amounts to is un-
known, but an instance can be
cited: Under the Wilson tariff law
a better suit of wooden clothing
could be bought for ten dollars than
can be bought now for less than
fifteen dollars. Dealers and observ-
ing buyers know this to be true.
Upon the important item of cloth
ing alone a heavy tribute is paid
for projections sake. What the
average wealth producer can bear
in the way of taxation for the
sake of an extravagant government
and for the sake of protecting the
subsidized interests can not be
known until the experiment is
made, for it is always the last straw
that breaks the camers back. That
Marx Hanna should seek to promote
the shipbuilding interests aud to
rehabilitate the U. S. merchant
marine at the expense of the vast
horde of toilers of the land is char
acteristic. The excuse for a pro-
tective tariff is largely passing
away. A system of bounties must
be substituted in order to have an
excuse for collecting large reve-
nues.

Your correspondent was at Ow-

on the railroad proposition for
line of road from Sharpsburg via
Owingsville, Salt Lick to West Lib
ertv. The proposition is feasible
and should be given the serious
consideration such an enterprise
for the upbuilding of the county
SO richly deserves.
1t being rather late, but being
the new year, will have to give it
as was given to me by friend for
the benefit of my old friend John
b. Lane. 1t seems at the Novem-
ber election Lane deposited his bal
lot himself in the ballot-box, not
allowing the officers of the election
to tear off the stub, so that no one
should know how he voted. The
facts were the ballot was thrown
out and my friend Lane lost his
vote. Having been long and good
friend, 1 will take the liberty of
giving some good advice for the fu-
ture: In voting hereafter, Friend
John, vote the Peoples party tick
ct, ticket you need not be asham-
ed of or not want people to see.
You will live happier, die happier
and hand down to posterity an act
of manhood which will rise up and
call you blessed.
