That is lo say, consumers pald that much nddi~ tional for the cotton goods purclinsed by them In 1877, and only $6,634,000 of the tax was paid into the Trensury. The now Tariff bill rearranges the tariff, and the above statemont of the Burcau of Statistics showa that on cotton goods of the same value jmported and consumed in 1877 the duty wifl bo 4,663,360, which extended to the whole consumption of the domestio manufactutes would make tho total tax to be paid by consumers $46,480,000. The re. duction of revenue to the Government will bo $2,000,000, but the total reduction of tax to consumers will be $20,000,000. In othor words, the consumers of cotton gbods will, if the tax be reduced as proposed, be able to purchase the same quantity of cotton goods and have $20,000,000 cash left, In the matter of woolen goods the illustra. tion {8 even moro striking. The valuo of the woolon goods imported in 1877 wns $33,- 466,179, aud'the tax paid was $20,177,607, or at the averago rate of GO per cent. Dar- ing the same yoar the consumption of American woolen monufactures equaled 200,000,000, The whole consumption, therefore, was ©233,000,000 of wools and woolen goods, and the tax pald thereon by the consumers was $189,800,000,—that ia, that sum was added to the costof the goods purchased by them. Tha new Tariff bill reduces the avernge tax to romething less than 45 per cent. Estimating the valuo of the imported and of the domestic woolens nnd woolen goods to bo the samo as last yenr, the tax thereon will be $104,850,000, Ac- cording to the statementof the Buresuof Statistics, there will be aloss of revenue to the amount of $5,718,850, but thore will bo a reduction of taxes to the amount of #35,000,000, Jeaving in the hands of consumers that much money after the purchase of the samo amount of goods 84 last year. ‘Wae need not point out in detail the other itema on whioh thers will be a seeming loss of revenue, but thoy should be explained. Under the head of ‘‘earths and enrthen. ware " sre included window-glass, plain and platod, and all othor kinds of glusaware, chins, porcelaln, crockery, and tableware, ns well as whito and brown esrthenwaro of nll kinds, 'The present tax fu 43 per cent; tho proposed tax 80} por cent.

Iu these six olassifications there will be under the new tanfl a reduction of rev- enue, according to the estimatu of the Burvau of Btatistics, but the sssumedloss by revenuo, will be inslgnificant as compared with the re. duction of taxes, ‘Tho estitate of the Bureau of Btatistics Is based on the value of the im- portatious of 1877, Taking the samo as vur guide, and tho latest estimato of the home produots of the same lines of goods, the fol- lowiug striking results of the presunt tariff and thosa which will follow the sdoption of the amendud tarifl ay profitably be cowm. pared: od {n his interview, though they nre mot having that overwhelming effeat which he anticipated from them. The *natural” development of the pres- ent sensation was begun through the agency of one Monrox, who was appointed a Special Agont of the Post.Office Department during the latter part of Gnant's Administration in order that he might travel through the S8outh and work up a sentiment 1n favor of Coxx- L1xo a8 8 Presidontial candidate. The result proved that MorToN wasn't any too success- ful in this respect, and, after Havrs came into office, this 8pecial Agent was very prop- erly removed for having misused his time and position, No Government ngent, special or otherwlise, can servo the public and & par- ticular Presidontinl candidate at the same time. When Montox was rolieved from Government service, he was again employed to travel through tho South, this timeinna private capacity, but likewise in, the same interest and with the purpose of hiring and Lribing confessions designed to injure the man who had obtained the Prosidential nom- ination to the exclusion of the vaulting Coxgrixg, Conxuive bhas heen acting in harmony with othors, both Rapublicans and Democrats, who desire to break down the Administration.

The most discournging featurs of the Dooctor's communioation to tho public at large is his statement of the difiiculty of ob- taining the rod bark. Druggists do not bave it on sale and do not put it up, and, ns a rule, not one drugglst out of five hundred is nble to distinguish the differonce botweon it and the more than fifty varletics of couu. terfeit barks which have beon either mixed with it or sold for it. In nnother plnce ho raya: **I have found it utterly impossible to procura the gonuina bark without having it speeially ordered for me.” If he, being a physician, finds it so difficult to obtain the pure bark, and not one druggist out of five hundred knows the puro bark from tho coun- torfeit, it stands lo reason that a non.pro- feaslonal porson connot get the matorinl— without going to Dr. D'Uscen nnd paying for it, The only practical method, there- fore, of iutroducing it is for some of cur physicians to give their attention to it Of course, if Dr. D'Unoen con get the red bark, they can get it, and prepare tho tincturs after Dr. D'Un- oen's formula, Thero are two physiciana in this city who enfoy unusual advantages for doing this,—the Oity Physician nndthe great temperauce physician, Dr. N, 8, Davia. Tho Bridewell is full of patients for the former to operate upon, Nime out of ten of tho Bridowell inmates are sont there by whisky or nloohol in its varlous forms. Thoy are cleanod up snd sot to work for n few days, then are rolensed, and of course relapse into their old ways, with cravings for drink jn- tensiflod by their compulsory abstinonce, and straightway roturn again to the Bridewell in n worse condition than before. If this rem- edy will do whiat is clalmed for it, aod will remove the appetite for liquor, the City Physician might accomplish & great work where it would do the most good by dosing the Bridowell bummers aud sonding them out iuto tho community again to be- come decent, sobor citizens. In the County Hospital and Poor-Houss, whose inmates are largely gathered from the ranks of King Aloohol, the remedy might also be appliod with benoficent offect, Dr. Davis should Investigate and apply this romedy, not alone because he {s a skillful physician, but also because hois a radical temperance advocate, and, knowing profos. slonally the injurious effects of intempor- ance upon the human Lody, has attacked the demon of drink from the physical ns well na the moral standpoint. 1le ig juat the man who should give thisremedy a thorough trial and report upon its eflicacy. The re- sult to be accomplished is too important to be noglected, and some of our physiciavs ought to tost the remedy and see if it will renlly perform the cures that Dr. D'Uxazu claims, of goods consumed in 1877 esu be pureliased for $67,004,025 less than in 1877, Tha dishonesty and injustice of taxation for protection instead of for revenue iu demonstrated distinotly mn the distinction betweon the tax on woolen manufactures aad the tax on ten and coffes. In 1877 thero were imported into the United Stntea ten aud coffee to the value of $6D,723,441, all of which was consumed, and which paid no tax, Dauring the same time woolon goods were fmported nnd produced in the United States to the valuo of $233,000,000, on which there was a tax paid of G0 porcent, or equal to $139,839,107, of which $20,177,607 was paid into the Treasury, Under tho mew tariff the same value of woolens will pro- duce $14,460,247 of revenue, but the whole inx to be paid by the consumors will be $104,860,000, A tax of three cents per pound on coffeo and oight cents per pound on tea would pro- ducoa total tax (all revenue) of $14,693,463, or at the rate of 21 per cent on the valuo of tho tea and coffice, Now, if this tax of 21 per cant on teannd coffce were imposcd, it would produce as much rovenuo a8 will bo produced from tho tax ou woolon goods;: and it the whole tax from woolen goods wera abolished, then, while the Tronsury would lose no revenue, there would bo left in the lhiands of the peoplo a saving in money in the purchase of their woolen goods sufliciont not only to pay the tax on the ten and coffoo, but to pay for tho ten and coffeo bo- sides, Tho figures showlug this are clearand explicits Whole tax on woolens (new tarl) Itavenu from tA% 00 WooIenA. ... Cost of tea. Thus, by substituting the tax on tea and coffes and repealing the tax on woolens (or any other protected goods), there would be a slight inorenss of rovonus, but the saving to consumors of tho woolen goods would not only pay all the tax on tea snd coffec, but would pay the cost of the tea nnd cofoe aud leave a surplus of $20,000,000 in ensh, From such a change ns this, by substitut. ing o tax for rovenuo for a lax for protoc- tion, thore would be such a reduction of tax- ation as would - come the nearest thing to a 4 freo breakfast " that lins ever been accom- vlished. Yet so cowardly are the majority in Congress that, sooner than vote a puroly revouue tax on tea and coffee, they will pur. petuats o tax on woolons without rovenue mora than equal to purchase the whole sum of tenand coffee consumed in thoe country annually, THE TURKS IN THE CORQUERED PROV.

Tho stories of outrages upon Massulmazs {n the parts of European Turkey now oect. pied by the Russians may bo exaggented for political eflect, but thoy aro unquestion: ably serious enough to demand attention.

The iutervention of thePowers will not be suMclont wholly to preventit; for the antagonism of raco, which s too deep- seated to be renched by Government, is at the bottom of the troublo, Thora cau be no cure of the disease sbort of the removal of the cause of it. Tho cause in this instance being the jelonsy of dissimilar races Aun{ re- ligions, the cure must be their uqlm_lmn. The Turks must go out, and the Christians, who greatly outnumber them, must uls in. their places, The now distribution of power will not be offected without much hardship to the con- quered raco; but it {s on many accountsto be desired, 4t will moke the peopls bowo- genoous, and root out the ugly and onust ural growth of a forolgn race and religion o Enropean soll, It will, moreover, by stop- plog the source of massncre in Bulguris, restore all that fruitful region to n couditica of prosperity, giving it the position in tho community of States which it deserves, o0 termiuating the dospotio rule which has been &0 long o blot on the civilization of Farope.
