Th« credit they claim for their pwtv in one breath is shOwttto be undeserved by the complaint they make in the next. It is the Republican party that imposed the heavy taxes in the first place: and it is that party which maintains them to an unnecessary degree, in spite of popnJir complaints against them.

The Iarc?P6t item of onr annual expendi'.nrfea to be provided fir is $105,000,000' of interest, which most be faithfully met But the treasury figures prore that it can be met by the existing taxes on tobacco, Bpiri beer, stamps, gas, and banks and bankers these items yield au annual revenue of nearly $ laO.OoO.O1 0 thh would meet the interyfct expenditure, and have soraethintr over. These taxes do not particilarlv affftit labor, nor depress industry they full on .hose Interests and classes that can .aff ird m'»st cisily to be taxed so that all the speci 0 demands made on the conn try by the national debt, of which Republicans talk so much, ana which they make an oxcus-i fir their high taxation, are substantially met by the six objects of spirits, tofoiec beer, tramps, gas and banks, and about fifteen millions pr-annum leftover, to devote to the reduction of the national debt. If we add to this the amount paid ltvst year for pensions and Indians, about thirty one millions, we have all the annual expenditures that the war necessitates and with tht se provided for, the country ought to be plac- where it was before the war. in the matter of current expenses. In 1800 these currcnt expanses were fiftyfive millions,- but if it be said that the growth of the country since then has ia-: creased the cost of governing it, let the current expenses be placed at one hundred and ten myiions, which is double what they were ten years ago. We have, then, as the amount of taxes that the government actually needs to collect from the people per annum: for interest one hundred and five millions for pensions and Indian payments thirty-one millions for ciinviiit expanses one hundred and ten millions tutal two hundred aud forty-six millions.

But the government actually collected from the people in taxes, last year, the sum of four hundred aud eight million?, and expects to collect thia year the sum of three hundred and fifty nine millions, and, for the year ending June 30, 1872, ihree hundred and twenty millions. Some pay ment ought to be made on the national debt every year, so that it may be placed in a process of extinguishment. Mr. Boutwell would make this annual pay ment as large as it can be made, without regard to the effect on the people but ex Commissioner Wells, who understands the inilu-tri il habitft and capacities of the people fir better than Mr. Boutwell, be lievi rit ought to be limited for the pres eut to 30 mi 1 lions. This added to the estimated sum aha diitely needed by the government to pay iutercst, Indians, pensions, and current expenses (246 millions) would give 27H millions as the whole sum that ought to be taken annually from the people for all purposes. Last year the government took from them 132 millions more than this num. and, according to Mr, BoutweM's estimate, it would take from thouiulS71, 81) Millions, and in 1872, 44 millions In excess of it.

There is no htatesmnnship in bleedin the people to this excessive degree, to enable Mr. Boutwell to rapidly reduce the debt, and nvikc up the losses caused by ofll iinl emb-zz'ements, peculations and pn.lligncy and this is why the Republi can platforms, while claiming credit for having ^slightly reduced their own heavy imposition of taxes, are compelled by the complaints of the country to declare for still I'llr!her reduction. The cost of ad inini8terit!g the ivernmrnt has increased en rmoiuly under the rule of the Republi can party. In 1800, this cost, including the civil and miscellaneous list. War Department and the Navy Department, was, according to Mr. Well's statement, fiftyfive million dollars in 1870, according fr Mr. Bout well's report, it was over 148 millions—the actual figures beinir: for civil and miscellaneous purposes, J60 234, 017 War Depart nv nt, $57 005,070 Navy Department, $21,780.220 total, $148,609,901. Tims, while the population of the country has grown from thirty to forty mKliona. or about tliirly-three per cent, since the Republican party came into power, the cost of governing it has been ne irly tr. bled—and this, too, without taking into acc mnt those expenditures re suiting from the war, such as interest on the debt and pensions.—Missouri llepubli ean.

Radical Reasons fr Renominating ({rant.

The last number of lTarper\ TFiwWy contains unaitiele on presidential noniiua tions. What, is remarkable about it is not that it earnestly favors Grant's re nomination, but it admits the strong opposition to that step by hosts of Radicals, including many of their leading men. It sums up the objections of these Radicals to Grant in the tollowing words:

hn quality of the President's friendships, the

inMmntn Influences which surround him, the alienation of mme men ofcultnre and high character from his counKds, the appointment, of certain unworthy ofllcory, his passion for San Domingo, what is called his nepotism. Ignorance, indifference to real reform, aiid progress, and' political purification-— all these points aro argned with more IT loss warmth against the administration. It is alleged to he a total failure, and It is declared that there is universal party disappointment in Its chlof."

Must of the supporters ofthe administration inM-t t!wt the mass's of the Radical party are satisfied with Grant nay. that they love him to distraction, and long for another chance to vote for him. Here, however,we tindoncoftheshininglightsofRad-ieali-in candidly admitting "that a great many Radicals besides the soreheads arc thoroughly disgusted. And now, what is the b- st answer this champion of the adniir.istrati has to otter to these objections made bv the Radicals themselves It is substantially this: A great many "criticisms may be truthfully made in detail," but the people think Grant is an houcn man and means well. And the grounds tip 11 which his renotnination is predict f»nd advocated by Harper's ar« that the jwople think him a well-meaning fellow, that it will be impossible to unite his opponents upon anv one man, and that, riot wit list'1 n-'ing all those truthful charges, the Radical party can't do better!

I nder whnm," ij-s Harper's, should we have promise of more appreciable and valuable results?"

W ell, these aro ponderous arguments. Grant means to be honest—at least people think so. Mr. Jo. Gargery not only ine.mt to be, but was, honest. Were he in our midst, perhaps Harper's would advocate his nomination in preference to that o( Grant, who is only suspected of wishing to bo honest. It will be impossible to unite liis opponents with anyone else. Well, that a good reason for thinking that he will be nominated, but people will think it a very poor reason why they should vote for him in preference to an eminent Democrat. The Radicals have no better man than Grant. That is much the best reason of the three but •what an admission it contains. This man, •whose oad associations, bad appointments, nepotism, ignorance, difference to reform, and general obstinacy and incapacity. are freely admitted, is the best man, on the whole, that the Radicals can present as a candidate. Then by all means let Lis officeholders pack the caucuses and conventions, and nominate him and let the honest men of the party vote with the Democrats for a man who possesses somethiig more than negative qualifications and positive disqualifications for the office. —Chicago Times.

Now that she was perched upon the car cashions, she looked about her at the passengers, and soon settled her attention upon a young man and young girl who, probably not being well versed in the customs of polite society, were revealing the fact that they "kept steady company,'' in true Central Park style.

Aunty sat overcome. The majority of the passengers tittered audibly, while the more polite looked out of the window, and plainly saw something on the sidewalk which amused them. And the young lady's head was set straight upon her t-houlders in a moment, while her sweetheart indicated to the conductor his wish to alight at he next crossing, an operation which Baby witnessed with the rem irk that "that lady seemed to be better, and could walk all by herself now." —Cincinnati Times.

Tke Work of Bold) Bad Xok

There waa not a sane man in the South at the close of the war who thought of any further resistance by arms to the au thorities of the Union. The people had fought to exhaustion, and the universal desire was that old relations might be speedily established with the Federal Gov ernment. They deplored the death of Lincoln, whose kindness of heart none questioned, and they had grave apprehensions as to the disposition of his successor. Andrew Johnson had been so violent and denunciatory during the fiery conflict that they feared he would use the power with which he was clothed to persecute and oppress them. Some of his proclamations and speeches within the first sixty days of his administration were not at all encouraging. They seemed to breathe a vindictive spirit. But as time moved on his personal resentments became weaker and weaker, and he was enabled to take a pretty clear view of the situation. It was in the month of September, 1865, that he said, in an address to a delegation of Southern gentlemen, I am willing to trust the people of the South." This annuciation sent a thrill of joy through the Southern heart and dispelled their gloomy forebodings. They at once became his friends and sustained him as far as they could in his long struggle with the Thad Stevenses and Ben Butlers of Congress. It ia not our purpose to become the eulogist of Mr. Johnson or his administration We know his shortcomings and we fully appreciate his good deeds. We give him credit for honest intentions, while we think he was deficient in executive ability. He was doubly deficient in the capacity to control men. A wise President would have molded the opinions ol his party in and out of Congress. Johnson carried off not a corporal's guard in his conservative journey. Not a Republican in the lower branch of Congress sustained his veto of the Civil Rights bill. When advised by his friends to remove Stanton from the War Department the reply was, The time has not yet come." Well, when the time did come, and he made the attempt, he came within one vote of getting himself removed. He should have surrounded himself when he had the power with a Cabinet that reflected his sentiments. Stanton was not the only enemy in his household. But let all this pass. Our object is to deal with Radicalism. The history of the last six years shows how much a few bold, bad men can accomplish.

When the Thirty-ninth Congress assembled Thaddeus Stevens did not have exceeding fifty followers in the House. They were daring a- desperate men, determined to rule or ruin the Republican party. To them the crack of their great leaders whip was sweet music, and they were always on the alert. Some joined them out of sheer cowardice and others because they could not afford to have the party split asunder. In this way a majority was secured, and then those who still held on to their conservative notions were dragged into caucus and forced to abandon them on pain of excommunication from the true church. Finally there was a harmonious family in both wings of the Capitol, and its offspring now disgraces the statute book. We have always thought that, as a permanent investment, these Radical leaders committed an egregious blunder, if they had pursued a conciliatory policy towards the South—if they had treated her citizens with kindness instead of harshness, they would have built up party there that could have boasted of many honest men, formidable in numbers aud entirely worthy of preservation. Furthermore, the Union would have been maQe stronger in the hearts of the people than it had been for the preceding fifty years. As it is, what do we see? The floorj of Congress are soiled by carpetbaggers and scalawags without character and without brains. The respecable Radical from the North is ashamed of his company. Even Mr. Greeley, great partisan as he is known to be, was impelled by a sense of duty and truth to denounce them in unmeasured terms. The reign of such men cannot last. Common decency requires that they should be hurled into their original obscurity. They will only be remembered as thieves and public plunderers. The negroes themselves will bear with them but a little longer. Indeed, in many parts of the South they are already voting with their old masters, who are their truest friends. The political status of all the late insurrectionary States is only a question of time. Five of them have emancipated themselves, and the rest are sure to follow suit. Then the Radical leaders will discover what consummate fools they have made of themselves, and we expect to hear them curse the negro as a rebel rascal." What care the Radical politicians for the colorod race or any other race that will not help'them? The most sagacious of them have long since seen the mistake they made in disfranchising the leading men of the South, and in perpetrating many other wrongs, but they had not the honesty to retrace their steps. They kept on from bad to worse till they capped the climax of infamous legislation by placing such power in the hands of the President as the Queen of England dare not exercise. We are not alarmist, but it is our deliberate conviction that if the Radical party should obtain a new lease of power in '7a there will not be a fragment of the old Government of the United States left at the end of General Grant's second term. We may not have a monarch in name, but we will have one in fact.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

All About Butter*

What to Do.—Butter, when taken from the churn, should be separated from the buttermilk by washing with clean cold water, or otherwise should then be salted and set in a cool place for full twenty-four hours. Should then be worked until all buttermilk, water and streaks disappear, and no more, as too much working injures the butter.

It is then fit for market. May be packed in tubs in the summer, or made into neat rolls in winter. It should be excluded from the air as much as practicable, and kept but a few days in rolls.

Use all the salt you can without making the butter gritty or, in other words, all it will dissolve. Remember that neatness in appearance adds to the market value of butter, more than to almost any other afticle.

Prepare tubs or firkins by soaking fortyeight hours with salt and water. In packing, cover each layer of butter with thin cloth and sprinkle with salt, so as to lift at each fitting. Fill the tubs as full as you can without touching the cover. In packing do not put in one poor churning keep that for home use, or sell it for what you can get.

The only proper way to color butter in tho winter is to feed good bright hay, pumpkins, squashes, c.rrots, etc.

When carrying butter to market in warm weather, cover with new-mown grass.

What Not to Do—Do not milk in a water pail that makes the milk taste. Do not set milk in wooden dishes.

Do not keep cream in a wooden churn, or any wooden dish. Do not allow buttermilk to remain long in the churn.

Do not allow milk, cream or butter to stand in a cellar or other room where there are potatoes, cabbage, onions, or other decaying vegetables, soap-grease, or any unpleasant smell, as they readily absorb flavor an 1 become offensive.

Do not allow milk or cream to stand until the whey begins to separate, as it gives the butter a smell and taste similar to that of cheese.

Do not take butter to market in summer the day it is churned. Work it again and take it with the next lot.

Do not put butter of different colors together. If in rolls, separate with a wet cloth.

Never add coloring matter to butter. It is better to be white than colored artificially.

Follow these directions, and your butter will be better, will always be marketable, and will bring much better prices.—D. D. Comstock.

When animals are kept too long from water, they will certainly tak more than is proper for them, and many fit of colic is occasioned thereby. The practice of watering, at least once between feeds in the morning and again in the afternoon, should be regularly followed, and if fifteen minutes is thereby lost to the plow, it will be more than made up in the renewed vigor with which the team will take hold on its return.—Heai th and Home.

neat, clean, fresh air

The connection is obvious between the state of mind thus produced, aud respect for others, and for those higher duties and obligations, which no laws can enforce. On the contraiy, a filthy, squalid, noxious dwelling, in which none of the decencies of life are observed, contributes to make the inhabitants selfish! sensual, and regardless of the feelinga.ot others and the constant indulgence of such passions renders them reckless and brutal.—Bee-Keeper's Journal.

AT *a meeting of the Potomac Fruit Growers' Association, a member stated that he had been successful in raising good crops of quinces, not by pruning to a single stem, as is recommended in the books, but by permitting it to throw up three or four stems, anu form a bushy head. He prunes very little, merely taking out or shortening cross shoots. He permits the grass and weeds about the tree to remain and decay on the ground, and gives alight dressing of salt annually. He cuts away blighted branches as soon as possi ble. He has grown quinces for thirty years, always with perfect success when the tree was kept in the bush form, and al ways with bad results when the single stem style was attempted.

TAN SQUIRREL SKINS.—Place

Lime and Ashes as a Wheat Fertilizer.

THB

ashes that is left, after firing the kiln, are generally thrown to one side and sold at half the price of pure burnt lime. As a manure or feriilizerfor wheat it is almost as good as guano or other fertilizers now offered for sale. The above mixture of lime and ashes contains a large amount of soluble salts, and the sulphates, phosphates and carbonates and lime salts are just what the wheat plant3 want to perfect straw and grain. Experience has shown it plainly where the refuse lime has been spread, as the grain has come to maturity earlier, growing stiff in the straw, and yielding large crops of well filled heads of the best, quality of grain. This can be seen mostly on the farms of lime-burners, who haul the mixture upon their land as it accumulates at their kilns, and the great fertilizing effect of this manure can be seen, not only upon their wheat, but on their grass land. Grasses grow much more luxurious and have a much darker color, and the clovers and other cultivated grasses grow above and crowd out the ordinary grasses. We have found that lime and ashes mixed as a top-dressing for clover or for corn, was worth as much as plaster, if not more, as it has always helped the corn to grow faster and caused it to ear better, and gives us a much larger yield with less smut on the stalks, than corn that had no ashes and lime applied. Therefore we would advise our farmer friends to apply lime and ashes as a fertilizer for the cereals.— How to Make the Farm Pay.

Thinning Ont Fruit.

would be difficult to give a specific rule applicable to all cases for thinning out fruit. Every orchardist, however, knows that if trees are allowed to overbear, the fruit will be proportionately small and far more likely to be deformed" and of inferior quality. It is far better to have a less number of specimens and all large and fine than many small ones, as the former will usually measure as much as the latter, and bring more in market Nearly all of the large fruits, like apples and pears, should be thinned when not more than half grown and where they are produced in clusters, it is better to remove but one leaving the largest and most prominent? fpecimen. It is also well to roice the difference in quantity upon the different branches, and so thin that no more fruit will remain on one side of the tree than the other. This, of course, cannot always be done, because cold winds or late frosts may have blighted the blossoms upon one side and not upon the other but by using a little forethought, and making observation before commencing the operation, an equal distribution of the fruit over the whole tree can be established. It is also a good plan to go about the orchard once or twice a week and remove any specimens of fruit that have been stung by insects such frtut, however, should not be thrown upon the ground, where the larva within can come to maturity, but should be either given to hogs or otherwise effectually destroyed. A little attention to such matters

would improve tho tjuAlity of our fruit and lessen the number of its insect foes.— Rvral Nne Yorker.

Care of Fowls.

Probably no one has written upon the subject of poultry raising, who has not said that cleanliness is of vital importance.

Cleanliness is godliness," to mankind, and the next thing to it in the care of chickens. If under your perches you will spread a little straw or hay, you will find it no trouble to clean out your hen-house, which should be done once a week in winter, but less frequently in summer, where the house is perfectly dry and the chickens half the time in it, will answer very well It is important to see that you invariabl) feed them in clean places.

Fowls are as capricious as people about a change of diet They grow weary of corn even, if fed continually. A better way i.to keep a supply of corn and also of wheat screenings, etc, and alternate the food And if poultry is your chief delight, whatever else you do, don't keep a dog to supplant your fowls in your affections, and get all the bones and bits of meat which your chickens so much need. And don't be stingy about your scraps cut off all the scraggy parts from your roasts, $r legs of veal or mutton and chop it, raw, for your poultry and observe what a concert you will create in the chickcn yard when you feed it.

Don't forget the box of fresh, dry ashes where they may have the fowl luxury of dusting themselves as often as they like and also the fresh lime somewhere convenient for them to supply shells for your eggs, as well as to promote cleanliness and and sweetness of their premises. You will not, of course, ask your chickens to drink water which has stood twenty-four hours, any more than you would dnnk such yourself. But you will see that every morning finds your watering places thoroughly cleaned, and filled with good fresh water.

I have been using a preparation to impregnate the water with iron and sulphur —both conductive to the health of poultry —which has been recommended by persons of large experience. It is this: Pour two quarts of boiling rain water on to a half pound of sulphate of iron and a half ounce sulphuric acid. When the iron has dissolved, bottle the preparation, and use about a gill of it in each pail of drinking water.

When your hens are ready to come off with a brood of chicks, before cooping them, take some kerosene oil and with a swab thoroughly oil the feathers and flesh ofthe fowl about the breast, legs and wings. The oil is thus communicated to the young chickens, and all are rid of lice most effectually. By the same process you can cause every fowl on your roost to rise up and call you blessed," if they are troubled with this little piultiy pest. This spring I took a newly hatched chicken, which had come out a few davs in advance of the rest, and rolled it up in flannel I discovered a louse on it, I put some kerosene o« the downy chick and when next I unrolled it, I found over fifty lice on the flannel. Fact!

I do not kno™ that I have given very valuable hints in all that I have written upon the subject, but I do know that while others have had fowls dying off promiscu on sly, I have not had even one on the sicb. list and out of 168 young chicks, one-third of which are now large enough to broil, I have only lo3t four.— Cor Prairie Farmer.

A Few Sheep 011 tho Farm.

TIIE

relative profit is much greater from

a small flock tban a large one. The grain farmer, no matter how few his acres, can make money by keeping a few sheep There is always room for them somewhere, •"and they consume and turn into money food that otherwise would waste. But he must be careful not to overstock.

To illustrate, suppose the farmer cultivates only eighty acres, raising grain chiefly. lie keeps a few cows and the necessary teams. One-fifth of his farm is in pasture, one-tifth meadow one planted, one spring grain, and one wheat. He thinks he has as much stock as lie can profitably keep, but if he puts on one sheep to every five acres, he will find their products clear gain.

In thp spring, early, they can run on the sod which is to,be plowed and one sheep to each acre will not hurt the land, yet, they will live well. After that they can go into the pasture and will glean after the cows to advantage. A run on the stubblafter harvest will not be felt where each sheep has two acres, and in the fall there is plenty of feed. Through the winttr they can do well kept on what the other stock would not consume, with the addition of a little grain. .Probably the most profitable are some of the coarser wooled, mutton breeds. Their lambs sell to the butchers for high prices, and when fat the sheep fetch as much as a yearling steer. Sixteen mutton sheep well managed would produce a yearly income of one hundred dollars, where if none were kept, nothing would be realized.

the

hide on a smooth, round-sided slab, made for the purpose, with two legs in one end and let the other end rest on the ground, drive a nail in the upper end to hold the skin while slipping from fleshing. Scrape oft' all the flesh with a blunt knife, being careful not to tear the hide. Then take the brains of the squirrel and work them thoroughly into the skin this renders the skin pliable. Then, to preserve the skin from the ravages of insects, scatter on some powdered alum and a little saltpeter. Let dry then stretch and work it until as pliable as may be desired. The above is acknowledged to be a very good recipe for tanning all kinds of fur, although there may be better ones in use.—Exchange.

The greatest drawback is liability to loss by dogs, and it is a disgrace to any State to protect its curs so well that they expel, to a certain extent, the only animal which can cheapen the meat and clothing of the people.—American Rural Home.

Mow to Pnrchaac a Clothes Wrinjer. In purchasing a clothes wringer we prefer one with coe-wheels, as they greatlv relieve the rubber rolls from strain that would otherwise occur, and add much to the durabilitvof the machine. The next point is to see that the cog-wheels are so arranged as not to fly apart when a-large article is passed between the rollers. It matters not whether the cogwheels are on one end or both ends of the shaft if large articles disconnect them, thev are entirely useless. This is very important", for as the larg-er the article the greater the strain, therefore if the cog-wheels separate so as to disconnect, they are of no service when most needed. We have taken some pains to examine tbe various wringers, and much prefer the Universal," as lately improved, because it has long and strong gears (Rowell's Patent Double Gear), and is the only wringer **£th "patent stop" for preventing the cogwheel! iStpm separating no far as to lose their power Jttarjfetfynd Farmer.

A Perilous Season.

Glorious and delightful as the summer weather is, its tropical heat is a severe trial to the vital powers. Even the strongest are sometimes prostrated by its cft'ects. The common phrase applied to'this condition of the body is "general d-bility." Now, general debility arises from, andjincludes, a variety of ailments. The liver is more or less affected, tho bowels are either constipated or too much relaxed, the stomach but half performs the work of digestion, the appetite is poor, aud the spirits depressed. This is what is called general debility. It is a general disarrangement of all the physical functions, and requires as a remedy a medicine that will regulate them all. llostettcr's Stomach Bitters is epecially adapted to this purpose. Its general operation is not coufim to a single organ. If the liver is affected, it restores its tone, if lhe stomach is torpid, it regenerates it. If the nerves are tremulous and weak, it braces and reinforces them. If the mind, which ever sympathizes with tie body, is gloomy and despondent, it relieves the difliculty, and soon briiiL-s the whole mechanism of tho body into harmony with the laws of health.

There is 110 civilized nation in the Western Hemisphere in which tho utility of Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters as a tonic, corrective, and antibilions medicine, is not known and appreciated. Throughout the Tropics it is considered, both by the -ople and the profession, the standard specific. While it is a mcdicine for all seasons and all climates, it is especially suited to the complaints generated by tlui weather, being the purest aud best vegetable stimulant in the world. -ware of the Bitters made of acrid and dangerous materials, which unscrupulous parti- are endeavoring to foist upou the people. I heir name is legion, and the public has no guarantee tbat they are not poisonous. Adhere to the tried remedy, Ilostetter's Bit ers, sold only in glass, aud never in kegs or barrels.
