The following article from the Chi cago Tribune affords an illustration tt once of the improvident habits of Americana in the matter of drinking, and of the ease with which our tia- tional debt might be cancelled. There is in it much food for reflection : Debt and taxation is the hobby on which the Copperhead demagogues hoped to ride into power. They are greatly concerned lest the people should forget how " oppressively " the national debt bears upon them. They roll the figures representing it like a fiweet morsel, under their tongues. They groan and languish, with well feigned dissimulation, over the taxa- Qtion necessary to pay interest on the debt, and predict speedy bankruptcy and disaster, unless the interest be stopped and the principal paid off in irredeemable orders on the Treasury, Unless the aforesaid demagogues can impose on the understanding of the people, and cause them to believe the lies and deceptions which they are dis seminating in regard to the debt and taxes, they have no chance whatever to carry a single Northern State for Seymour and Blair, and they well know it. We have shown in a former article, that the share of debt falling to each head of population is decreasing at the annual rate of three per cent. comp6unded. Three years ago the population of the United States was about thirtyfour millions, and the debt was then, iu round numbers, twenty seven hundred and sixty mil ' lions, making eighty-one dollars to each inhabitant. The population is now thirty seven millions and the debt two thousand five hundred and ten millions of dollars, which is sixty eight dollars per head. In 1870 it will be reduced to sixty three dollars and fifty cents per head, without the payment of any portion of the principal. The whole debt taken to gether averages five per cent, inter est, and five per cent on sixty-eight dollars, which each person would now owe if all paid alike, is three dollars and forty cents. The amount of tax ation on each inhabitant of the Uni ted States, to pay the interest on the national debt, is, therefore, less than one cent a day. Dividing the whole population into three classes of about twelve millions in each, the wealthier third contribute a cent and a half per day, the middle third a cent, and the poorer third half a cent a day toward the interest of the national debt. That portion of the people who hire their labor ftr wages contribute not to exceed half a cent per capita per day. Let this fact be thrust in the teeth of the demagogues who are dilating on the " burdens of taxation which oppress the poor man for the payment of th interest on the national -debt. There is one expenditure which we never hear these disclaimers refer to or advocate a reduction of, viz : the money spent for liquors. "We invite their attention to the statement of the Special Revenue Commissioner, Mr. Wells, in his report to Congress, giving the amount paid out by the people for spirituous and malt liquors uuriDg the year 18G7. We do not refer to the sales by the wholesale, but to those at retail, sworn to by re tailers, who have paid the license on their sales. We give the table by States, and these figures represent the aoiounrpaid by the driukers and con sumers to the retailers over the coun ter: AMOI ST OF SALKS OF RETAIL L1QCOU DEALEK3.

That sum is mere than equal to one-halj of the princi pal and the annual interest of the public debt. That sum, if applied to the payment ot the debt, would re deem it all in gold, in two years. The amount of money paid by actual con sumers for this strong drink, in three years, would equal the entire debt of the Union, and of all the States, and of all the cities and towns of the United States. The people of the single State of Illinois expend for liquor a sum almost equal, to the an nual interest of the national debt 1 Included in receipt of sales from liquor dealers are such sums as may have been received for cigars at their bars, which probably do not exceed the value of the liquors imported or purchased wholesale by consumers, and the sum of sales by establish ments which make no returns, or fraudulent ones. But the cigars and tobacco sold at the bars of saloons are but a part ot that reckless ex travagance which wastes upon the useless luxury of strong drink nearly fifteen hundred millions of dollars a year. During the last year of the war, when the United States had one mil lion of men upon its pay roll, when it was paying two prices in a deprecia ted currency fur food and clothing, aDd for labor, and for materials of war, the total expenditures of the government, including tho hundreds of thousands of dollars actually stolen, and as much wasted, did not equal the amount of money paid last year to saloon keepers and other retail liquor dealers by their customers. A people who can spend $1,500, 090,000 annually to retail dealers of liquors and tobacco ; who spend, per haps, $o0,000,000 more for liquor imported or purchased wholes.de by consumers ; who spenj $100,000, 000 annually for cigars and tobacco in other forms, can hardly be said to be badly " oppressed" by a debt, the interest on which is only one-sixteenth of the amount of these reckless ex penditures for the luxuries of liquor and tobacco. A man, cannot be said to be very severely crushed by the weight of his debts who spends in the course of ft year for liquor and tobacco a sum cquril to two-thirds of his share of the national indebtedness. It is hardly worth while to talk of cheat-, ing the public creditors of the inter est on their bonds, when that interest only amounts to onesixteenth part as much as the money squandered on liquor and tobacco. It the people of United States would, retrench their drinks and smokes by one tenth, the money thereby saved will pay the annu;d interest orr the debt and fifty millions a year of the principal. We repeat that people cannot be truthfully said to be taxed to the " starvation point" and "crushed to powder " who can afford to spend four times the amount of their total taxation, Stale and national, for whisky and tobacco, and office-seeking demagogues will fail to make them believe it.

Office or thk General Si tf-eixtendext, ) ltoxa, Pa., Dec. 15, 1S67. ) Gentlemen ; The watches manufactured by you have been iu use on this Railroad for several years by our engiue:nen, to whom we furnish watches as part of our equip ment. There are now some three hundred of them carried on our line, and we consider them good and reliable time keepers. In deed, I have great satisfaction in saying your watches give us less trouble, and have "worn and do wear much longer without re pairs than any watches we have ever had in use on this road. As you are aware we for merly trusted to those of English manufac ture, of acknowledged good reputation, but as a class they never kept time as correctly, nor have they done as good service as yo'irs. In these statements 1 am sustained by my predecessor, Mr. Lewis, whose experience extended over a series of years. Kespectfullv, EDWARD WILLIAMS, Genera! Superintendent. American Watch Company, Waltham. New York Central Railroad. Locomotive Department, Western Division, ) Rochester, Dec. 24, 1806. f Gentlemen : I have no hesitation in saying that I believe the great majority of locorso- tive engineers have found by experience that Waltham Watches ore the most satisfactory of ucy for their uses. They run with the greatest accuracy and steadiness, notwith standing the rough riding of an engine, and, us I have never known one to wear out, they must be durable. I hopo to see the time when railway companies will generally adopt your watches, and furnish them to ail engineers and conductors. In my opinion it would greatly toud to promote regularity and safety. Yours respectfully, CHARLES WILSON, O. Chief Engineer, Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers. American Watch Company, Waltham.

Jo tip aap. in which we live demands cf- vrooress in Farming Implements as well as in all oilier orancnes oj inaus trv we have determined to enter exten- sively upon the manufacture oj me celebrated Flcil Cnu Plow I Belter known in Oregon as the WOL GA MO TPLO W. This Plow com . ftiups all the desirable points of a per fect implement, being simple in con st ruction, cheap, durable, ana oj ugta draft. The only Premiums which were arcar.ded to Gang Plows 'at the great Implement trial at. Malloon, Sept. 4, 1806. by the Stale Agricultural SocU ety ' of Illinois, were awarded to this Plow. The followina is an extract from the Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, for the year 1800, and may be found on page 210 of that re port : "The Gang Tlow made by J. C. Teil, Arenzville, Cass county Illinois, is received with no little favor in the west. Almost in credible stories are told of its excellence and efficiency in plowin-j the prairie fields of Illinois and other .States. The depth of the furrow is regulated by the crank-axle, which is so arranged that the ploughs can be driven deeper or shal lower at the pleasure of the driver, when the team is moving.by means of the lever. We also manufacture sulkey plows for small boys, or intirm persons who are unable tp manage a team of three or four horses. This gang or sulkey plow, will cut a fur row from 2 to 10 inches deep. "The committee who tested the draught of this plow with a dynamometer state, that it ran lighter by 140 pounds.than other idows when running at the sam depth, and held by the plowman while on foot." BF'With this Plow one man can do more tcork than txo men can do with walking Plows, and the same amount of team. Hence, it will be seen that it will more than pay for itself in one season's plotting. Cgy7i addition to the above, John W. Lewis icill also manufacture the WEB-F00T GANG PLOW! A X D T II E Web-Foot Walking Plow ! Both patterns of his own invention, for which patents have been applied for, and which have withstood practi cal tests with the best results, receiving faltering testimonials wherever seen or tried. Now, the Farmers of Oregon are invited to give the Oregon City Manufactory a trial. Bo not purch ase a Plow of any descripton until you have examined our make and prices, as we are determined to sell at less than importer's rates, by giving yon a more durable article,and a guar antee warranting the same.
