The principal objection and and the Constitution the only one of merit (provided it were true) that can be urged against removal of the capital, is that it the will increase the state taxes. Relying on this, Jefferson City people are hav ing printed in a number of papers they have contracts with, items sim ilar to the following which we copy from the Fayette Democrat Banner: “If capital removal carries the tax payers for the next five years will pay three times the amount of taxes for state purposes they now pay or have paid in late years.” But the Sentinel asserts that it is impossible to add one cent, single cent to the burdens of the -tax-payer in any event, or under any sort of contingencies. tion, in the matter of raising reve expressly says: Sec. 8.

This is why we can sell to our customers at whole sale prices, our profit all comes off the manufacturer and jebber, and none off our customers. This is why you have been told so many times, by other groceryman, that we are selling goods at cost, aud we have no doubt, when they meet our prices they sellat cost to do it,but one thing remember, when they are offering half dozen articles low to meet our things we sell they do not meet. the same ratio.
