Tobacco is only a ‘less vicious
agent than whisky, and is most
appropriately taxed. Tho general
use of it is injuring or destroying
the health and vigor of the young
and old, and if the tax were in
creased, instead of reduced or 're­
moved, the country would be all
4he better fur it. There are plenty
of other taxes which can be reduced
before any necessity will arise fur
repealing the tax on whisky and
tobacco. There are plenty of taxes,
which if removed, will help the
poor man,
.. of
the demagogue in Congress, instead
of injuring him. Let those taxes
be first repealed; and, to begin
with, let Congress make the poor
man's breakfast table entirely free
by repealing the taxes on salt and
sugar.^ The tax on tea and coffee
has been removed; now let the
taxes on those-other two articles be
removed.
It is folly to say that the tax on
whisky and tobacco is hot needed ;
that the surplus of income over ex­
penditure is too great, and should
be reduced. It need not be re­
duced. It can be used to extinguish
the national indebtedness.
The
sooner the debt shall be paid the
better, for then the enormous in-
terest charges can be got rid of. If,
however, there were no other uses
to which the tax on whisky could
be applied let it still be levied and
collected, and divide«! among the
States for the maintenance of the
paupers, thieves and ruffians *it
makes, and for hanging the mur­
derers it inspires to nnrrdffr.
The tax on whisky and tobacco
should be large ami perpetual ; ex­
cept for mechanical and medicinal
purposes, whisky should, if it could,
be taxel out of existence. Its
power to ttbstroy the health and
vigor and morals of men should be
destroyed if possible.
But a
demagogic Congress insists on in­
creasing its power of destruction
merely to please the wealthy dis­
tillers and manufacturers of.the

of temperance principles. We have
greater reason to be glad from (he
fact that this temperance move­
ment was one which had its origin
with the people, was carried on by
the people, and won by the people,'

Distent, well organized effort. The
hard fought battle has resulted in
the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment, by a majority of from
25,000 to 30,000—a majority so
large, that th<* <-pp<(mn(s to the
amendment will hardly dare make
any great opposition to the laws
which shall be enacted to carry out
the purpose of the amendment.
This victory will greatly strengthen
the temperance cause throughout
the whole country, and give a hope
that will stimulate to greater en­
