He thought Our system of internal reventy: ” da possosacd by devils, Lot us turn them out, ‘ao most not let thei alone, ae Gen, Garfield fs opposed to any revalutton! ary changes in the existing system of tixn- tion, Mr. Stephens represents the South 13 in favor of radical changes, not In the lineot modifying the presont tariff, but by the abso- Inte repeal of all Internal-revenuo taxes. Hore Jaan issue senrcely Iess offensive and, «tangerous than the lative of State-soverelgn- ty which fs represented by the Sonth, If tt be among the projects of the Southorn lend- ers to abolish the entire system of internal- revenne tax in order to secure cheap whisky and tobneco, and thereby surrender more than $125,000,000 of reventc every year,—a revenue, too, that is collected without hard- ship or oppression upon the publie—then tho effort of these people to secure complete‘ dominion over the Natlonal Government should bo realsted by the business men and taxpaying community pf this country with- out regurd to party attachments, The “astamp-taxes,” against which Mr. Stephens seks to revive old-time hostility, are not of the odious charneler which aroused the resentment of onr forefathers. They are contined to whisky, tobacco, Dank- checks, matches, snd patent medicines, ‘They. nro hateful to nobody. ‘Lhe stamps aro shuply recelpts, and are used as a cons yentence and a warrant for the collection of taxes on ‘articles which, with the possible exception of mateles, and possibly bant- cheeks, ull intelligent people agree ought to be taxed. They supply the Government with “revenue only,¥ according to the de- Mand of the Democratle platform; in other words, all the tux collected. goes Into the Government 'Trensury, leas the cost of collee- tion, and tio part thereof is an expedient for The taxes are distributed among the consumerd in detail. Every man who takes a drink of whisky or smokes a cignr or pipe helps to pay this tax in proportion to his indulgence; the person who abstains from drinking and, smoking pays no part of St, even if he grows corn or tobacco; hence it isa purely voluntary con- tribution to the revenue. 4 ‘The -Bouthern idea, according, to’ Mr. Stephens, is to levy taxes upon “forelen luxurles” to make good the deficleney occa-_ stoned by the repent of tho Internal-revenue tnx, Hestates this reventia at $105,000,000; It was $123,000,000 last year. Then it would become necessary, in order to favor tho whisky-(drinkers and tobacco-consumers, to tevy $123,000,000 upon . foreign Importations in addition to the enormons duties already {inposed. ‘The scheme Is utterly chimerical, even If it were desirable. Everything fn- ported from abronc which fs in the niture of a luxury fs already taxed fo its ututost capac- ity. Forelgn wines, ‘brandies, cordials, cigars, perfumes, and druggists’ articles are taxed up to the pointof prohibition. Silk goous and btoadcloths, which are no longer, luxuries In the sense that tho term is applicd to forelgn artictcs de vertu, ara now taxed from 80 to 100 per cent, Gloves, ribbons, Inces, fine hats, parasols, and other foreign goods avaliable for taxation arc now taxed aa heavily as they can bent. To impose any additional duty upon any of the so-called “Insuries” Imported froin abroad would produce less revenue by prohibiting inporta- tion. Already the rate of duty ts so high as to diminish the amount of revenue which: the Government, might dertve from this clnss of so-called luxury importations, If the duties were lower the Importation would bo Incrensed so much as to make the reduced rate yleld a larger revenue, How fs, sit -posaible, in this condition ‘of. things, to imeke good an annual deficiency of $125,000,- 000 by increasiny the tari on such foreign goods? 5 ne 5 It 1s a solceism to urge the repeal of thetax on whisky and tobacco, and at the same time talk-of taxing “luxuries.” -If whisky and tobacco be not Juxurics, as the term {8 used in political economy, then it would bo dim- cult to determine what luxuries are, The | amount of these two artleles used for medic- Inal or other necessary purposes Is ag a drop in the o¢ean compared with tho amount con- sumed for tho gratification of mere sensunl appetite. The iden that tho price of corn Is reduced because whisky is taxed ts ridicu- lous, Corn is to-day dearor than it was before the War when there was no tax on whtiky. Tho State of Ulnoty alona is capable of growing corn enough overy year to keep the whole world drunk on whisky. The repeal of the taxes on- whisky and manufactured tobaeco wonld glya the producers no ‘In- creased pricé for their crops. Corn would not be worth 10 cents more n. earlond, nor would growlng tobacco advance a nickel to the acre in value. ‘The drinkers, smokers, and chewers might satisfy thelr. cravings a Itt¥e cheaper than thoy dono, though the chief bonetits of auch a changa would accrue to the middlemen and retalldenlors. It fy preposterous to demand that the Goyernment shall sacrifice an annual revenue of $125,000,- 000, or luyy that amount upon the people fi maid OU y some oppreasiveandobnoxtous form, in order to discriminate In favor of the “moonshin: ers” Jn the South and. the consumers of whisky and tobnedo everywhere, A reductlon of the tax which the whisky- drlukors and smokers jd chewers of tobacco pay will not satisfy the Southern leaders; they want these taxes repeated altogether, If they shall secure the, necessary power to bring about this revolution Jn taxation, thoy will folfow it up by some system of tuxing Incomes and the public credit, or some other dovice for discriminating against Northern thrift and enterprise, ‘ SPRINGER ON GARFIELD AND HANCOOK, The Hon, William M. Springer, who hay won considerable distinction in tho Demo- aratic party as a imomber of the House of Representatives, and who may bo silt to bo tho nctlye leader of tho Democratic party In Minols, has recently made a speech which deservea esprclal commendation for’ the frankness with which he speaks of the two candidates for President. Mr. Springer was born and ratsed inthe Town of Sullivan, Ind., and recently visited his native place, where he was cordially greeted by relatives and old friends, On the evening of July 4 these and tha peoploof the neighborhood turned out to mest him, and In his speech— speaking to friends and not to partisana—he thuy, with great frankness, spokeot Garfield, and also of Hancock, Wa invite a ready of whathe sald of those the two now most prominent men before tho country, Ar Springor sald: < - My frionds, tho: Republl hi - nate Tor tee cunuiute for Veeatdcne tannoe A, Garfletd,-of Obie (derisive Inughtor ay Tinh who bas long been iu publio service, fyng becn the leader of bis party, and who vtands to-day the mightiest wartlor of them ull, tho,greatest Htepuulfoan, member of the Lower Hous$ of Con Pet {dena > Gariivld y being with htm tu the Lowor Houve uf Con- ieee for yeurs, and [know there is nu Kevub- fern a€ that purty ublor than he.

Garfield personally and tlrectly. ‘Mr. Spring- er fhought the. country needed, and ho had hoped the Democrats would have nomt- nated, aclviiian for President. Me declares that hodld notdesiren President “who is solely a military man”? + It is hoposslble to resist the impreaston that Mr. Springer, in picturing to his friends and relatives tho kind of man who ought to bo ‘selected . for President, lind Gar- fictd versonally in his mind, His pleture of the proper person for President Is n strik- ing fotograf of Garfield, Tho man elected to be President, Mr. Springer saya, should be “aman who knows all about elyll affairs’; who knows all about the “mannge- ment -of the Judiciary, Legislative, and Executive Departinents”; who Is fa- millar with the State Department, “which deals with foretgn countries,” with the “Treasury; with the millions of trens- ure,” with Civil Service, and “with the grent and growing commerce of our land”; and he thought the “ dest Interests of our people de- manded a man experienced In civil affatre,” but, when tho Democrats ‘nominated “a purely military man,yhe thought they would. have done better to have nominated a man with “some civil oxperience,” f Of Gen. Iancock, the enly direct com- mondation Mfr. Springer had to maka to his friends was, that, “if elected, he will take his sent.” Of all the senseless trash of poll- tics, this remark, that if Gen. Hancock bo elected ha will take his seat, {s the. most meaningless. The canditates for President have Hterally nothing todo with the taking or non-taking of the seat until the result: of the election is fegally ascertnined and de- einred, ‘Chen, and not until thon, fa the per- son entitled to “take his seat,” and then thers will be no‘person to object to it, unless St be intended.to have a revolution after the Mexican {nahion. In Mexico both sides or all sides ‘select milltary men from the regular army as candidates for President, so that when ono candidate Is elected tho other can put himsqlf at tho head of his wing of the army, and depose if possible the auc- cessful man,—just as Gen, Hancock proposed ‘to do in 1876, when he. declared his willing- ness to us0 so nitich of tho army as might bo under his control to depose Hayes and Install Tildon, ‘Tho oxpredsion that ilancock will take his seat if elected’? can have no other meaning than if Hangock shall consider hlm- self lected, despite the legal and constitu- tional declaration of the result of tho elec- tion, lio will. resort -to tho ~Mexican plan of using: ono part of tha army to Install himself ‘and to’ depose the person declared clected. The American ‘people have never yet experienced tho polley of determining an election by a civil war, and Itis not likely they will ‘over tolerate any auch method; and the candidate for Presi- dent who announces beforehand his pur- pose that, In cage he shat! not be lawfully de- elared: elected, he will resort to clvil war, may dlscover that the Amerloan people pre- fer to dispenso with the-services of auch a mun, rnd therefore will make the popular de- elston against him so emphatic : that oven he will not disregard “It, Tho country has had enoygh of ely{l war, and Is not prepared to tolurate the ambition: ofa “solely military man,” as Mr. Springer fitly deseribes Hancock, who promises a reopon- Ing of tho great Rebollion under the pretext af having ‘himself made President by force of arms, ns Is the rule {In Maxico, B ‘Taking Mr. Springer's spaech as a wholo, {t ennnot fall to'Impress tho people of tho country with the paramount {mportance of electing an: experienced statesman to tho Presidenoy, especially at this time, and -tha folly ‘and danger of experimenting with o “purely military man” who declares his pure posa in advance to {ake his seat by forge. * WHY ST.

In each case there are political motives atwork, but they widely diffor, In Gormany itis the effort of the Premier to retain and consoli- date personal power. In Belgium {t'fs, the effort of the Premier to preserva clyil and re- ligions liberty, representing the willof tha people that Belgium shall be ruled from Belgium and not from Rome. - ‘The struggle in Belgiun between Church and State. is & moro. radical one than elsc- whore, because it has always boen the homo of Uitramontane orthodoxy, and Rome hith- orto ling -had-her own way. Now that the first difference has come between them, Rome puts forward its clatns, with offenalve arro- gancé, and the clvil power retorts by cutting off all communfeation with her. The Eduentton.act, which has provoked tha hostility of Rome, was not-a stringent mensure. There. was ample provision for religious education in the schools out of school hours; but it dented tho right of Nome to take away from the State all supor- intendence of thé selrools. It clamed for tho State the right to be recognized in tho management of the schools, Tho Bishops and. clergy, on the other hand, denied. that tho State was competent to undertake edu- ention at all, except usder the sanction and withthe codporation: of the Church. They declined to make any distinction: between rellgious and secular Instruction, ar to have anything to do with it-unless they could: have complete control. Tho Belgian Gov- erninent took issue promptly. and fearlusly, The olergy, though the Pope counseled moderation, continued thelr hostility in ‘| an open and bitter manner, because they had had assurances that the Vatican was in sym- pathy with thom, and when the proper time tame would: support them. ‘Tho Vatican mildly discouraged opposition in ‘its public utterances, but privately encouraged: ‘the clergy, until at last, finding not only, that they had no respect for the Jaw, but wore de- termined to openly violato it, ‘the State at once severed ‘all diplomatic communication | with Rome, whereupon the Popa oponly ap- plauds the clergy for thelr conduct.’ ' * Theis can be no question as ‘to the result of this atruggle.. Tho love of religious and elvil Hberty fa: just ns déoply implanted in the tmhinds of the Belgians as the Jove of. Rome. Like other ‘European States, Bel- gium has rapidly prozreased In political !tb- erty, and, like France, is determined that thore shall no longer be a State within State, and that Rome's clafm to complete spir- ital dominion ovor temporal affairsshall not benllowed..:: They havo made the: Issue fatrly and'squarcly, and it {s inuch morp radical even than-in France. They say ‘to Romo: You may havo. a free Church, but we must have a freo State, But Rome demands that its eplritual and mental rule shall be su- Preme, only to find thateyen among itsmost devout spiritual subjects there Is a determl- nation to obey tho Inws of the Stato in all civil matters, and. that it cannot overcoma this determination. Both people and Gov- ernmont are. all the more resolute since they hayo discovered that the Vatican has been playing fast and loose, and'that while {t was. pretending to cotinsel moderation {t was pri- yately Inciting the clergy to resistance.

No country in Europe ia so strongly Catholic as Belgium, Outof » population of ovor five tullllons, there are but 15,000 Prot- estants and 9,000 Jews.
