It is also in dintct conflict w ith the old Jack sonian test if fitness for otlice " Is he honest, is he coiii('!ent, is he faithful U the constitution?" L'm.ike any other government on the face of the globe, this Nation is compell ed to cast alsiut for methods to reduce its too redundant revenues. The rebellion created a nMssily for immense sums of money and taxation in almost even. form, was resorted to. With a rapidity that is marvelous in the eyes of other na tions, our luniieiiHc item lias ueen yearly ( decn-ad, while the taxes have lacn as steadily nsluced until now, not yet a quarter of a century situs? the war closed, we find a still superabundant revenue, and a necessity for its niluction. The only ttiiuaiuing war tuxes are those on whiskey and tobacco, and the free traders, w bo want to cripple the indus tries of the couutry, insist that these tax es shall Is- allowed to remain and that the iHtccsKarv reduction shall be made on tariff duties that protect the tuanufac- j tureniand lalsuvrs of the country from ; foreign comjH titioii.

In this coiims'tioti it is well enough to n-cail the fai-t that, previous to the election of Mr. Cleveland, there was a persistent demand made by the I Vims-rats, that the taxes on whiskey and tobacco, "the pisir man's luxuries" should be w iped out. Now. however, it is insisted that these taxes kIihII Ih- retained, because, thereby it is Imped to fonv a reduction of the tariff, iu the interest- of Free Trade. Tw ice has the attcuijit Is-cn made in the House, to strike dow n the protective duties itn iocd by the present tariff, and both times it lias lieen defcatol, and n.w the third effort is to be made, backed by all the power and intlucuceof the adminis tration. This time, however, it is to Is acconqsinicd with the proposition to abolish part of the tobacco tax, provided assent Is- given to a nsluction of pmtec tive duties. But, why alsili.-h the tax on tolaus-o and retain it on whiskey ? lvith are luxuries as contra-distinguished from the iH-ccssarice of life. If one is to lie iv-leased from taxation, why not release I the one, that by reason of its Uxation .Las been enabled to form an arrogant toouopoly, the moat oiiious in the lanil, whose (tower is used to corrupt and n flueni legislation ? That li pjors should be taxed, and heavily taxed Is admitted, and their sale should be giu.rd.-d by the uiost struigeut of laws, but this should lie done by the States. The National gov ernment taxes them but it places no te atnuuts on their use orabuse. It li.-cnm their iioaiuiuture aud sale to any one tliat will pay the taxes, but it pay no share ef tlie expenses eouse.,uent upon the rrime and iwuerism tliat follow from tiieir exiie use.
