Uai'ORDRIMilXG AXD TAXATION.
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

t .i year 1667, tue 01 . u-e
iied States paid for strong drinks,
.y-.-..-4-ihe counter to retail dealers, the
sum of fourteen hundred and eighty-
three millions four hundred and uine-ty-one
thousand eight hundred and
sixty-four dollars. 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.

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.

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,

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

Both patterns of his own invention,
for which patents have been applied
for, and which have withstood practi

or tried.
Now, the Farmers of Oregon
are invited to give the Oregon City
Manufactory a trial. Bo not purch
