THE DEMOCRATIC SENTINEL. ©gpiUAIPAPKB OFJABPKKCOVNTI. FRIDAY JULY 6. 1883.

The Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention is called to meet at the Opera House, in Hartisburg, August Ist, 1883. at 10 o’clock a. m. That great English statesman, John Bright, save that “high protection* is a curse to every European nation that indulges it. The remark might include the United States. ■' p Mr McSweeney, a dele ate to recent Columbus Convention, thh concluded his speech before tha* body: It anybody asks, “Watchman, wha 1 ot the night?” say “There is no night," On the misty mountain tops the jocund day stands on tip-toe and points to a glorio js victory. Wheel the old Democratic column around. On! Onwaidtothe contest. There is no such word as “fail." Indianapolis Sentinel: The Prohibition Republican member of the last Legislature who was on a very high lonesone in this city during the latter part of the past week, and which finally led t > his arrest, was released Saturday evening on condition tha 1 he would go hdme. But graciou ß hevings, to think of a Republican drinking whisky! How did it hap pen! Read this from an old, reliable Republican paper, Harper’s Weekly: The Republican party is smirched with the whisky ring swindles, and the Star Route swindles, and the Belknap swindles, and the salary grab, and the third term plot, and a myriad other similar jobs and thefts and crimes. The argument will be that no reform is possible until such a party is turned out, and that it can be turned out oniyjby putting in the Democratic party. That such a plan is shrewd and promising is undeniable. The “g. o. p.”? must go.

The Railroad Election.

Railroad election In Marlon Town, ship, August Ist, 1883 This election is held tor the purpose of deciding whether the legal voters of Township desire the railroad built through Marlon Township and the Town of Rensselaer. Tne amouat of aid proposed to be raised will be a sum equal to one per cent, per annum upon the assessed value of property for the year 1882, for two successive years. • The number of acres of land in the Township, exclusive of town lots, are 81 860, appraised in the year 1882 at $206,080 or an average of $6 58 pe r acre, and the tax proposed to be levies would be on an average 13 cents per acre for the lands in Marion Township. In the Town of Rensselaer in addition are Town Lots valued at $55,154. The value of improvements on lands In the country, $99,330. In the Town of Rensselaer, 1151,160 The value of personal property as sessed in the country, $135,775, and in town, $211,580. Total amount of taxables in Town, $432,173, and in country, $426,821. The amoun t proposed to be appropriated is sl7 000, of which amount owners of property in the Town of Rensselaer would pay $8,600, and the owners of property in the country $8,400. The railroad would be seven miles long in the country, and one-half a mile long in the town. The amount of taxes assessed in 1882 for all purposes, in the town, on the county duplicate, $8,740, and in the country, ar township proper, SB,« 690. The present railroad, with nine miles of track, p aid of taxes for the benefit of Marion township, in 1882, near S7OO, while the total amount of taxes on property assessed was about SB,OO0 —the railroad paying 8 and three-fourths per cent, of all taxe 8 assessed in the township; while the town of Rensselaer was assessed, in 1882, $8 740, of which suifi the L., N* A. & C. BE. was only assessed about S4O, or i of one per cent. The town of Rensselaer would pay more than One-half of the taxes, and get in re - turn only about l||l7th as much o taxes per annum as the township proper. 'The investment on the part o' the country would pay a net dividend forever of 9 per cent, while on part of the town, of Rensselaer the return would be about one-half of one per cent. A large proportion of the property taxed in town consists of money and goods in stock, the price of which would not be increased by greater railroad facilities. A very a rge propoation of the property own. ed by the farmers consists of land and live stock, the price of which would be materially advanced by the construction of new roads giving choice of markets with a direct line of communication and competition. The town of Rensselaer is central for all the inhabitants of the township. The writer owns land in the south part of Marion township and proposes to vote for the tax. He believes the same to be a good investment, with accruing benefits of more than ten fold. It seems from the facts and figures that if the residents of Rensselaer can pay those taxes, when bu* few of the citizens can reap much financial benefit, the farmers ought to be very willing to do so.

The railroad company can best afford ta build their road on the nearest and cheapest route. We want the road built on the line through Rensselaer, and it we come to the polls and issue a financial invitation tor the same we may secure it. The tax cannot be collected until the railroad is completed. It will be a valuable enterprise te all of us, and I can not see why taxation is not the fairbat P IBD b ? which te aid the en-

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER-NO 13.

[The Indianapolis News.] Hon. Stanton J. Peelle: The surplus revenue is annoying th e pig-iron statesman. If tue people can b e persuaded that our revenues are derived from foreign manufacturers and are not paid by American consumers of for«ig« goods, they might feel comfortable in view of the fact that foreigners are paying tbo expenses of running our Government. But the .foreigner who makes g.'ods which aro sold here is no fool, uud when you put a tax on his imported go ds he knows that the American consumer pays the tax in addition to the price °f the goods at the pi.t of entry.— SomC of our wholesale merchants on South Meridian street are importing crockery and dry goods from fonigu c untries. In making up the pi ice, ;t winch ii.c. mark their goods for sale here th v add :o the sum they pay the manufacturer tl.e tariff lux and the Indiana easterner pays it Now it is pinin tLat a sin j lus r-vei.i.e made up of receipts from duties is a tax upon the peop e "who use goods upon which these duties are levied. In fact this is so plain that it is amazing that able statesmen should argue, and aide editors should assert, that a tariff du'y is not a lax, but a benevolence bestowed upon onr people by foreign manufacturers. It is a mark of progress that some of the ablest advocates o' the protection policy characterize all tariff duties ns taxes. Senator Sherman, in an interview or speech which was published a few weeks ago, called them taxes. Wiien it is settled that they are taxes, the. pro teclionist must go to the wall, Let ns see. The only purpose for which taxes can be levied is the suppoit of the Government. AsJColonel Ingersoll expressed it, ••The Government, is a pauper.” L hasn’t a cent which the people do not give it. It passes around the hat for couiributxous, and the fact that there is a musket behfr d the hat to compel payment, does not change the fact that the Government is a baggar and lives upon alms. But the people have fixed limits to the demands that can be made upon them. It is not honest to require more than is necessary, and it is neither honest nor lawful to cdlect money from the whole people for the public good, and bestow it upon a select few for their private greed . Nobody but a protectionist, who gets a share of the plunder, will insist that this is not so. Il a necessary tax levied for the public good gives an advantages one class of citizens, nobody has a right to complain if the inequality thus produced is unavoidable. But we have a surplus, that is, we are levying and collecting unnecessary taxes, and the ayowed purpose of levying these taxes is to increase the profits of a small class of citizens at ihe expense of the whole people. In his res cent address at Detroit, Mr. David A. Wells quoted from a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States', the following:

“Of all the powers conferred upon the Government, that of taxation is most liable to abuse. Given a purpose or object tor which taxation may be lawfully useJ, and thejextent of its exercise is in its very natuie unlimited. This power can readily be employed agamst one class of individuals and in favor of another, so as to uin the one class and give unlimited wealth and prosperity to the other, if there are no implied limitations for the uses for which the power may be exercised, To lay with one hand she power of the Government on the propeity of the citizen, and with the ether bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private enterprises and to build up private fortunes, is none the less robbery because it is done under the forms of law, aiid is called taxation. This is not legislation. It is a decree under legislative forms. Nor is it taxation. Beyond a cavil there can be no lawftn tau which is not laid foi a public purpose. It may not be easy to draw the line in all cases so as to decide what is a public purpose in this sense, and what is not. But in the case before us, in which towns are authorized to contribute aid by way of taxation to any class of manufac* tures, there is no difficculty in holding that this is not such a public purpose as we have beeu considering. If it be said that a benefit results to the local public of a town by establishing manufactures, exactly the same may be said of any other business or pursuit which employs capital or labor. The merchant, the mechanic, the inn-holder, the banker, the build*, er, the steamboat owner, are equally deserving of the aid of the citizens by forced contributions. No line can be drawn in favor of the manufacturer watch wo’d not open the public Treasury to the importunities of two-thirds of the business men of the city or town.” This decision was rendered in the case of the city of Topexa vs. the Loan Association. and is reported in 20 Wallace's Supreme Gourt Reports, page 655, It is mentioned with approval in the case of the city of Parkersburg in the last volume of the Supreme Court Reports. There is a principal recognized and declared in this decision of the highest judicial tribunal of the land which is worth the consideration of legislators who vote for and defend tax laws, the purpose of which is to enable a comparatively few persons to enrich themselves at the expense of the people. I am dealing with admitted facts. We have a surplus revenue which is the result of unnecessary taxation. We have laws under which these taxes have been collected, which laws were pasted to favor (protect) a limited class of cit - zens at the expense of the majority. We. have a decision of the Supreme Court saying that the legislative power has to right to pass such laws.

Obviously the wise course for Congress to pursue is to reform the tariff laws that we shall have no surplus revenue, and repea,} such parts of the law as were enacted to promote private interests. The mistake you made last winterwas in lowering the tobacco tax and repealing the tax on bank capital and bank deposits, while you n. tainbd nearly all the taxes which increase the cost of the food, shelter and clothing of the men who work for wages It does not surprise me to see th * protection professors trying to devise schemes for disposing of tne surplus revenue. Profess< r Thompson, whose college is n.-cated under the smoke stacks of the Pennsylvania blast furnaces iind ste d mills, ad vocaus its distribution among pen>L of t e States according to population. The Protionist, the pig-iron organ, suggests that it may be used in building levees on the Mississippi River and increasing the ap propriation for the improvement of rivers and harbors. Why not pa-s another salary grab law? This accumulation of surplus revenue has its advantages. It has compelled a discussion of the tariff laws. People a e reading and thinking about them, and soonei or later, much sooner than the politicians imagine, there will be a popular demand for the repeal of all laws which tax the whole people for the benefit oi the favoredfifew. »

A STARTLING DISCOVERY. Physicians are often startled by remarkable discoveries. The fact that Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption and all Throat and Lung diseases Is daily curing patients that they have given up to die, is startling them to realize their sense of duty, and examine into the merits of this wonderful discovery; resulting in hundreds of our best Physicians using it in their practice.

He flew but a few feet before he dropped the biscuit, when another sparrow seized it and carried it a few feet further, and so one after another carried it along until the last sparrow dropped it plump on a horse-car track. Then away they all flew, as if their object had been accomplished.— Pretty soon along came a car, and, passing over the cracker, ground it into crumbs.

Senator Thurman has this to say in regard to the Democratic ticket recently nominated at Golumbus, O.: » ‘ I do not think that there are any elements of weakness in ft. Of course, it is well known that I was anxious to see General Durbin Ward nominated. This was iaigely because I felt that unselfish and heroic Democrat was entitled to the honor and the reward implied by a nomination for Governor by the Ohio Democracy in 1883. For, mark you, the nomination is equivalent to an election.” ••Do you think ao?” “I Haven’t the slightest doubt of it,” said the Senator, and he emphasized his remarks by striking nis hickory cane violently on the ground. “The mere personality of the candidates amounts to but little in the campaign. It is the Democratic party that is strong, pot its candidates. ’ “Do you regard Mr. Hoadly as the strongest candidate that could have been nominated?” ‘•Frankly, no; but he is not weak, because the Democratic party is stroug. By heavens, sir, when you look at the high hatidea robbers among the Republican leaders, and see them vindicated and serenaded by'the residuary legatees of their o iminal conspiracies, and reflect that nothing stands between the people and the absolute spoliation of the Government b it. the Democratic party, it is easy to understand why that party has become practically irresistable.” “Then you anticipate a Democratic victory io Ohio th s fall ? ’ “Yes, sir. I would have made a differ* nt. ticket if the matter had been left to mt; but that is neither here nor there. A party is only successful when it is stronger than Its leaders. The acquittal of tne Star Route conspirators has driven thousands of honest Republicans into the Democratic ranks, andthe accessions will continue You can say to t„e world that I regard the State ticket put in nomination on Thursday as a strong one, and that there can hardly be any aoubt about its election. Bui still I wanted to see Gen* eral Ward Governor, and I think he will receive a proper reward for his distinguished public services in due time.”

WHY WELCOME. What makes Floreston Cologne welcome on every lady’s toilet table is its lasting fragrance ana rich, flowery odor. Among ihe useful snakes in Florida are the “king and “black runner,” both of which are the natural foes of the rattlv snake. The king is very quick, and in the encounter watches its chance —sifizes the rattler in the throat or back of the head, then coils himself around and squeezes him to death. This snake puts up a fair fight, but the rattler is at a disadvantage owing to its clumsiness. The runner snake is a tricky ieilow, usually causing the rattler to bite Jhimsell with fatal effect, alse kills its victim like the king snaKe, only after wrapping itself around its body, being nothing but mus cles, stretches out, thereby breaking every joint in its antagonist. The blifbx snake Is of more value than the king, as it prey# upon all other snakes of a dangerous nature.

The New York Times nails a lie very neatly, as follows: The old saying that liars should have long memories finds new exeinpMfication in the circulation of a neat little “Lincoln story” which first appeared in a Boston paper and is now traveling on its mendacious mission. The tale is that “a reliable gentleman” called on President Lincoln “just after Jeff Davis had been captured,” and asked what would be done with the Rebel President. To this, says the narrator, Lincoln replied with a story about a ’coon which a boy had captured, and which he could not sell, or kill, or keep at homo. The only weak point about, this historical anecdote is that Lincoln died April 15, 1865 and that Jefferson Davis was not captured until May 11 of that year. Otherwise the intense realism of the tale might deceive the very elect.

In the Superior Court of Evans ville, Judge Dyer has decided that the claims of the laborers and contractors of the Indianapolis and Evansville Railroad were equal to the claims of the mortgagees.

Not one tenth of the farmers and planters raise sheep; not one in * hundred depends exclusively or even chiefly on sheep, while the clothes of all the farmers are nearly double in cost by the tariff on wool and woolens. Most ot hose who raise eheep derive more profit from the sale of mutton than from wool.— Take the American farnsets all together, and they are daman •d ton times as much by the duties on wool and woolen (roods as they areibenefltted thereby,-* Chicago Tribune
