SOUND DOCTRINE.
The tariff humbug Is one of the great

posed on a free people. The Boston
Port published tha following oxcelleut
letter from toil. Huverdy Johnston, of
Baltimore, accepting a position on tho
advisory oommittee of tho Button free
trade club, which breathes the truo
sentiments of a statesman. Ho says :

3 uent reflection and study have salis
od me to my error. In my present
view the doctrine is as unsound in

jurious in practice. To tax a whole

TIEVERDT JOHNSON.
The infernal tariff system adhered to
to support the General Government is
a huge fraud. Under our system of
govorhment, we impose taxes upon the
people according to the property they
own ; lor Btato, county, road, school
and poor purposes. But for the sup
port of the Genoral Government we
rely npon the tariff, and the poor and
laboring claasea have boen foolish en
ough to listen to evory tariff humbug,
stumper and writer, on this question,
and consequently have contributed
four times the amount that equity and
justice would require of them under a
direct tax system.
To illustrate : A poor laborer is the
happy parent of eight children. He
owns nothing ; he rents. On the other
band we have a wealthy land owner,
who owns his thousand of acres increas
ing in value every year. Ho has a
ife and two children. The tax of the
latter tinder our tariff system is only
half that of the poor laborer. In this
way: The poor man's family consumes
double that of the other, and because
the government is supported by a tar
iff, instead of direct taxation, accord
ing to equity and oommonsonse, the
burthen is imposed on the poor, be
cause there la a tariff (the same at a
tax) laid upon nil he consumes, and not
on what he owns. The poor man with
ten of a family consume twice the
amount that his regal neighbor does
who is worth thousands, to his hun
dred. -
KiNAToaa m Council. A special
dispatch from Washington to the Phil
adelphia Times, of tho 28th, indicates
that the Democrats in the United States
Sonato mean business. The dispatch
says : "The Democratic Senators held
a caucus this morning to determine the
conrseof the party in theSenste. Sena
tor Stevenson presided. Their first
act was to constitute Messrs. Stovenson,
VYbyte, Uordon and Wallace a com
mittee to confer with Mr. Lamar, chair
man of the House Democratic caucus,
and Anguslus Schell, and with them
select the six Senators to eorve on the
Congressional campaign committee.
They next decided not to reply to Sen
ator Morton's speech on Mississippi
but to vote on his investigation resolu
tlon aa soon as tha Republicans are
ready. With roference to Morton's
Slates rights resolution the discussion
developed tho fact that a majority were
in favor of deolimng debate upon them,
but finally oommittee, ooniiiting of
Thurman, Bayard, McDonald, Gordon
and Whyto, was constituted, to report
at a subsequent meeting tho proper
course to be pursued on this question.
It is noticeable that Mr. Gordon, the
most conservative Southern Senator,
was placed upon both of those commit
tees, and the evident desire was shown
to avoid anything in the shape of de
bate that will be calculated to arouse
any bitter fooling."
Horn State Kurds. George U. An
derson of Titusville, State Senator from
Crawford county until recently was
pointed out to visitors at the State
Capitol as tha only millionaire in the

ent tracts of land were sold to State

din formerly Mr. Anderson had the

will be notioed that the wholo of this

Booth still haunts "the loyal millions"
occasionally. The New Vork Tribune
indulged iteelf with spasmodio balf-
coluron one day last week. It had
somewhere read or beard repeated that

like The Tribune should have aseer

ter: This poor clerk did hare a son,
and be named him John Wilkes, after
the great English oommoner. The
neighbora called him Booth sometimes
in a spirit of mischief because another
neighbor had a aon named Lincoln.

COUNTY TREASURERS.
The Carbon Democrat aays : "At a
dill of a numbor of County Treasurers
a mooting was held at Uarriaburg, on
the 80th of December, for the purpose
of having the oonatitutiooality of their
holding over ao additional year tested.
In fifty-four counties, Treasurers were
elected lo tako the place of those who
have only served two years. The
main point seems to be that tha adop
tion ol the now Constitution repealed
the old one, and coming in under the
new thoy are entitled to its provisons,
hence he ought to serve another year,
and ia order to have a speody settle
ment of the matter, the meeting bad
agreed to support Herman Nqas, Treas
urer of York county, in con testing tho
question in that county, and carrying
it up to the Supreme Court. '
Wo called attention to the fact In
December last that a set of Lobby
Roosters hod formed a pool and wore
bleeding all the old Treasurers from
$50 to $5,000 while agitating this ques
tion. It was done on tho aume plun
that tbey bled the Banks two years
ago when they went to work to pa
an act raising the legal rate of interest
from six to seven per cent.
A numbor of foolish Bank officers
sent those robbers thousands of dollars.
A number of the old ooanty Treasurers
did the some thing last fall. The
schemois toothin. Those who invested
had bettor keep mum. Tho ring has
their money and neither the Court or
the aforesaid will ever refund a dollar.
It is an old saying : . "A fool and bis
money are easily parted." '
LraiBLATtoN." A bill has passed see-
ond reading in the lower Houso of tho
legislature, fixing tha fees of Arbitra
tors at two dollars per day, instead of
one dollar as heretofore. : '
The bill repealing the Jury Commis
sioner act was defeated. , ,
The watoring-troagh bill bus also
passed the House, as well aa the bill to
raise fox scalps from fifty oents to one
dollar.'
An act, giving the Burgess of every
borough the same jurisdiction that
Justices of the Peace now have in civil
and criminal matters, Is likely to pans
unless tba Sqlres come to time.
Taa Tax Question. The repeal ol
our present law, rolating to the collec
tion of county and Slate taxes, is boing
agitated. It would be well enough to
move slow in this matter, because tbore
are two sides to the question. An
"Economist" bos furnished our read
ers with his views on one side, to be
found elsewhere in this issue. Sow,
lot the other side oome to the front too,
so that both may pass in review before
the publio ore final action is had on the
question. That there are faults under
both systems has long been demon
strated. These are not entailed by the
law so much as by the administration
of the law ; bonce, tha mere change ol
a law doea sot obliterate wrongs which
grow up under it, .

Sound morals should teach every man
the fact that It is a crimo for a citizen
of this county to attach himself to a
secret, oath-bound political organisa
tion. It is true, no one can be arrested
and sent to the penitentiary, but it is
striking directly at tha very founda

TUE TAX LA W REPEAL.
Ma. Editor : I notice tiy petitions
in circulation, that there is a move
mont on foot to repeal or chango the
mode ot collecting our county and
Stats' taxes. This is a wrong move,
and a piece of falsa economy. I want
the tax payors to give this matter a
practical thought or two before they
go pell-mell for repeal. 1 hare obtained
the main facts for my illustration from
the County Auditors' report
It wiH be observed that the amount
of county and State taxes assessed for
187o amounted, in round numbers, to
about $27,000, nearly one-halt of which
the Ooanty Treasurer collected for too
percent., while the prompt taxpayers
saved live per cent., making In the
aggregate nearly $600, and the negh
gont taxpayers, who want the Consta
ble or Collector to run after them for
hia taxes, must pay him five per cent
for bis neirleet. It will thns be seen
that tha whole sum of $27,000 only
cost about $540 to sot into the Treas
ury, and the prompt taxpayers (who
are more than one-half) gain $G)0, a
saving oi more than ftu over and above
tha whole coat of collecting. Under
the old law, it will cost the taxpayers
nearly $2,000 to get a similar amouut
collected.
To illustrate again : The sum as
sessed is $27,000. The Collectors would
draw out of this sura five per cent.
amounting to $1,350, and the prompt
taxpayers woum ioso tnoir tibou and
would be compelled to pay the Collec
tors for running after the delinquents.
In principle the present lew is cor
rect, and we have our taxes collected
for less than one half of what it would
cost under tho old systorn. Why
should any taxpayer wish to have a
law changed which now brings $27,
000 into the Treasury for $540, to one
which will cost $1,350 ? In other
words : Is it not casior for an indi
vidual to pay five dollars and forty
cents tax, than thirteen dollars and
fifty oents? That is the point in the
rase whon brought home. Lincoln
always held that it was easier to pay
a email debt than a large ono, and
tbore are thousands of ordinary peoplo
who see the thing in tho same light ;
but they are not those who go for
ropoal.
I would like to hoar from the other
side, in order to ascertain thoir reasons
for this new deal. Are tbey working
in tha intorcst of the tax Collectort, or
the taxpaym T Jvtonomiht.

THE STAy'laWUeTtION.
EniToa IlruiiMCAN Dear Sir : I
it not high time that something was
dono to save the mass of tho people
from financial ruin ? It appear to mo
mat in this section oi mo mate esne
cially, nothing but the strong arm of
tbo law can savo tbe people trom dis
tress, ruin and poverty ; and with a
knowledge of these tacts, is it not tho
duty of the legialature to enact a Stay
law at once ? There are many reasons
why this should be done, prominent
among which is the faot, patent to all,
that property brings nothing near its
value in a forced sale. A team of
horses, really worth $100, will not
bring, "under tho hammer of the Sher
iff,'' $100. A farm or piece of timber
ana, the real value or which is $3,000.
will not sell to-day under oxecution for
$2,000. Now, this Is not duo to tho
lack of real value in the property, but
to the forced salo under extraordinary
circumstances. Henco, he who has
real estate to the real oalue of $25,000.
and is indebtod to tbe amount of $10,
000, If pressed fbr paymont, must Ioso
ins pronei ty on $15,000. and thon. nor.
bais, all his debts of $10,000 can not
be met, even after sacrificing his 925,
000 worth of proporty. This is but
an illustration oP-what has been done
to some extent during the past year,
and what will be dono with the nron-
erty of hundreds of onr cititons during
the next two or throe years lo a ten.
fold greater extent and more forcible
sacrifice without a Stay law. This, it
may be.aaid, is simply a prediction,
bnt remember If. is based on tho sad
knowledge of tho past nnd a plain, al
moat sure, foresight of the future, ll
this pushing and pressing the people,
ana mreing tne sacrifice ot property
Is continued, how Tory soon will all
real estato become the property of a
mosiVW rtf, and this oounty and most
in ttiu niaw Kinata aruvjCKV), ah

to inquire the cause of, because tho

casss we have not time to removo the

they cannot bo- converted into a fair
equivalent of Ityai tenriem, with which

aw can be iiassed, and tbe afreet ot
hard times be averted, sine thoy can
not be removal.
A Slay law was passed following
tho panio of 1857, and was productive
of the boat results. Now, with harder
times, bow much more tho necessity
and how much greater the benefits to
bo derived? It is argued by some,
that we have a law by which execu
tion can bo stityod, and that it is suffi
cient I hold tho contrary view. Tbe
indebtedness of individuals is gcnorally
ia the hands of a number of creditors,
and il ono them sues and obtains judg
ment, a freehold stay of exoctition can
be taken for from six to twelve months,
according to the amount To demon
strate: A man having unencumbered
real estato to the value of $20,000, and
owes debts to the smount ol $5,000, in
tho hantla of five different parties, who
proceed and obtain judgment. The
debtor can only have freehold stay ot
execution against tha judgment of ono,
while the other creditors proceed to
sell his proporty, unions special bail be
entered, which is difficult to obtain
when all creditor are barrasslng tho
debtor. And if freehold and special
bail be entered for all judgments, exe
cution is only stuyed lor from six to
twelve months, at the end of which
time wo have no assurance scarcely
a hope that there will beany demand
for our products, the only means with
which we have to pay, and the prop
erty will be sacrificed at tbe maturity
of tho stay. .
The citisens of Clearfield county,
and, wo believe, of every ooanty in the
Htato, are, generally spesking, amply
able to pay thoir debts, with any resona
ble opportunity to realite. The oppor
tunity is not offered, nor Is there any
probability that it will bo for two or
throe years. . Hence, to save honorable
and useful business men (whom wa can.
not afford to bave fail), as well at tbo
hard-working farmer, mechanic, and
others, we should havo a law, staying
all execution! for three years, which
oan be repealed sooner if the stata ol
affairs shall warrant it This proposed
luw would, of course, not interfere with
creditors in obtaining judgment, thus
giving liens on real estate. At a gen
eral thing, creditors are men of means,
who aro able to wait on tbe debtor ;
bonce, the burden (if there be any) ol
a Stay law would rjet on tha shoulders
of those who can most easily bear it.
Finally, it does teem plain tout that
a Stay law would be productive of groat
benefits, and it is tbe only way by
which financial disaster can be stayed
and averted, and thousands aaved from
financial ruin, from poverty and dis
tress. Other thoughts relative to this
subject occur tome, which i may men
tion again, t cry truly,
Jcsticx.
