l‘eartly. by the appointment of a C‘. m-
,M of experts. and by liberal appre-
priationstoconsume the surplus revenue
of the government. Some argue for the
retention of the tax on whiskey as a tax
not Mly burdensome to any person,
and for maintaining the present high du-
ties on the ground that our manufactures
will be crushed by reducing the tariff;
but through opposition to extravagant ap-
propriations they advocate the use of the
surplus revenue for the rapid extin-
guishment of the national debt. But
thereare valid reasons against aspeedy
payment of the indebtedness of the na-
tion. In the first place. it is the basis of
the present national banking system, and
time should be given for a gradual change
of that system to a new basis. Secondly,
a large portion of the debt is funded and
is not payable for many years. conse-
quently. an attempt to hasten the pay-
ment of the outstanding bonds would ne-
cessitate their purchase in open market at
a high premium thus increasing the bur-
den of the debt. Thirdly. the speedy ex-
tinguiahment of the debt by excessive
taxation would he succeeded by a sweep-
ing reduction of taxes to bring the re-
ceipts to the level of the reduced expen-
see. or by an era of wasteful expenditure
to consume the annual revenue. A and
net: reduction of taxation would violently
disturb the business into rests of the coun-
try and would create universal distress by
the sudden change; in prices and wages;
an era of wasteful expenditure would (1!:-

with a portion of the money that would be
required to pay the entire debt now, can
gain a larger percentage to be be queathi‘d
to their children to meet the national
obligation at a later day.
Everykourse of sound reasoning. there~
fore. bring-s us;to the necessity of revls~
ing the tariff. The plan of a commission
is so manifestly in the interest of pro
tected monopolies that it ought to be de-
feated for that reason if for no other. Such
acommiuion would delay its report ur-
til a time too late for the present Cox -
grea- to act upon it. and thus the tarifl
would remain undisturbed for a period of
at least two years. But on general
grounds also a commission is inadvisable.
It is the duty of Congress to legislate for
tbccommon welfare of the country. and it
need not resort to a circuitous method of
performing that duty. “’e are therefore
led to inquire what is the duty of Con-
gress in the premises. Internal taxation
should be retained with slight modifica-
tion. It seems inadvisable to repeal the
stamp tax on patent medicines. because
that tax is easily collected and is not bur-
densome. The same reasoning applies to
the tax on bank checks. and with greater
force, because the persons who draw
checks are usually well able to pay the
tax. The tax on matches. although ens.
ily collected. may properly be repealed as
a measure of relief to the poorer classes.
The tax on tobacco probably needs no
modification; but the tax on whiskey is
proved by experience to be so high as to
encourage “‘moonshiners.“ thereby dioxin.
iahing the revenue and increasing the
coat of collection. Bence that tax should
be reduced. not to make cheaper the to
par’e glass of whiskey. but to secure the
maximum of revenue at the minimum
cost for collection.
Finally a general reduction of the tar-
lflehould be made. Here it is well to
observe that a reduction of the tariff
does not imply the immediateintroduc-
tier: of free trade. In a subsequent urti-
cle, the writer hopes to show that free
trade is the correct economic system and
that its gradual introduction would bene-
fit thiscountry as it has benefltted Eng—
hnd. But for many years the necessity
do large revenue will prevent a sweep-
lng reduction of duties, and will confer
incidental protection even it' the tariff
laws belfrained for the purpose of reven-
ue only. It would be eminently prop-
er to begin by remedying some of the
greater abuses of the tarifl. such as the
dgbty to one hundred and twenty-fl ve
pt cunt. duties on steel rails, copper.
bunting. blankets. etc. But as an emi-
Iut writer has recently. yemarked. it is
probable that the lobby is too ttro'ng to
hope for that. But some duties, such as
thetaxou imported antiquities. and the
bark of which quinine is made can proba-
be repealed without serious appeal.

following—”The Summer. is an excel-
lent looal paper. admirably adapted to the
wants of South Norwalk. where it has a
field equal to its capacity: the town pre-

To this we would say that the Sssrrsaz.
may not reach the “unattainable" but it
is evident that the Santa‘s“. has greatly
disturbed the ”animals" in the surburban
town. known as Net-walk. particularly in
the vicinity of Water street. The scene,
(we are told by those who were eye wit-
nesses) was very ludicrious, and the noise
and hubbub heard from the Water
street sanctum was like unto that which
emanates from "Burnum's’headquarters"

being stirred up.
After reading the SENTINEL‘S analysis,
the editor ordered that “ our counsel " be

TB! RAILROADS.
New railroads are building in every di-
rection. The Waycrou road. recentl '
oppened. reduces the time from 15 to
hours to Savannah. and New York
pet's reach us the next day after publi-
cation. A new road is underwa from
here to Tampa. on the gulf coast. miles

river, of which Jay Gould and others are
the backers. The J. P. & 31., road is being
extended west. so that in a year one can
leave Jacksonville in a Pullman coach and
reach San Francisco without change. A
new road is runnin direct to Fernandina
reducing the time rum 6 hours to 1. A
newroad is underway to St. Augustine
direct. Arcadia open from Palatka to
Gainesville. one from Astor and one from
Sanford. Each are being pushed and ex-

New wharvee and depots are building and
all is activity.

“You have debts. and make debts still.

Now. if owing leads to lying. who shall
say that it is not the most evil thin l or
course. there are exceptions. and I do not
want to bear hard upon an honest man
who is brought down by sickness or heavy
losses; but take the rule as a rule. and you
will find debt to be a great dismal swamp.
a huge niud‘hole. a dirty ditch: happy is
the man who gets out of it after once
tiunblingin. but happiest of all 18 he who
has been by God‘s goodness kept out of
the mire altogether. If you once ask the
devil to dinner it will be hard to get him
out of the house again: better to have
nothing to do with him. Wherea hen has
laid one egg, she is very likely to la a..-

liable to be over boots. Never owe a far-

be a very soft one. or he never could have

real honest man would sooner get as loan

landlord make ohalks against. him behind

Little by little a man gets over his head

and by he is quite surprisid to find the
qluarter-days come round so very fast. and
t not his creditors bark so loud. He has
sowed his money in the field of thoughtless-
ncas. and now he wonders that he has to
reap the harvest of poverty. Still he
hopes for something to turn up to help
him out of difficulty. and so muddle:
himself into more trouble. forgetting that
hope and expectations are fool's income.
Being hard up. he goes to market with
empty pockets. and buys at whatever
prices tradesmen like to charge him. and
so he pays them double. and gets deeper
and deeper into the wire. This leads him
into scheming. and trying little tricks and
mean dodges, for it is hard for an empty
sank to stand upright This is sure not to
answer. for schemes are like spider webs.
which never catch anything but flies. and
are soon awe t away. As well attempt to
mend your a oea with brown paper. or
stop a broken window with a sheet of ice,

maneuvring and scheming. When the
sohemer is found out. he is like a dog in
