When Senator Morton rested the chiei
claim of the republican party to the conf
deuce of the Senate of Indiana on the
reduction of taxes he certainly had not
examined the trick of his Eastern colleagues.
II is the last resort when an able statesman
who has enjoyed the confidence OF his state
can lsud its betrayal Therefore we feel
certain that Senator Morton was innocently
Ignorant of what he so strongly applauded.


We,bave shown that in the reduction of
internal taxes. one single district the Third

much as the great State OF Indiana The

but went blindly with the tricky Eastern
monopolists, either betrayed their State
wifully or were too blind to see the Eastern
tricks


We will to day further show to the State
of Indiana, and to the Senator Morton in
particular, quite a new phase in this glorious
reduction of taxes. After the first of May.
next we shall have an internal revenue tax
on only two articles, viz, spirits and tobacco o
From these sources We expect to raise
something like one hundred million dollars
We will now show that, although single
district in Massachusetts is relieved double
as much of taxes as the State of Indiana
when taxes are removed by Congress, when
taxes are left on to be paid the State of
Indiana is made to contribute more than the
six New England States, including Massa-
chusetts. And here are the facts:


During the fiscal year ending June 30,

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series ofyears, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estma-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for incipient consumption and the dan.
gcrous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.


Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
case seemed settled, have been completely cured,
Cherry PectoraI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toral they subside and disappear.


Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.

action, so that commission can at least
be appointed to investigate the facts and
make report in season for final action,

that Mr. Summer and other opponents
of the annexation will not object to inves-
tigation by commission. All that they
ask is that it shall be composed of persons
uncommitted one way or the other. There
is, therefore, prospect that the first step
in the matter will be taken without seri-
GUS opposition. Few persons, however,
believe that it will be possible in this Com
gress to settle the final question of the
annexation
