AN EXHAUSTIVE PAMPHLET.
Prepared by Hon. David A. Wells Briefly
Reviewed.
New York Evening Post.
It is now some thirty years since Mr.
David A. Wells issued a pamphlet entitled
"Our Burden and Our Strength." Our bur-
den seemed at that time almost unbear-
able, and grave doubts were entertained
as to the solvency of the government. Mr.
Wells showed that our strength was far
greater than was commonly supposed and
that we should have no difficulty In carry-
ing an even heavier load of debt than that
already incurred. This essay was circu-
lated by the Loyal Publication society to
the extent of 200,000 copies in this country
and in Europe, and did much to establish
the credit of the United States upon a
solid basis. President Lincoln at once
called Mr. Wells to Washington and placed
him at the head of the national revenue
commission, which brought order out of
the chaos of tax lav/s, and enormously in-
creased the revenue, while it diminished the
burdens upon consumers.
Mr. Wells has now repeated his service
to his country. In a pamphlet issued to-
day in the form of a letter to Secretary
Carlisle, he handles the subject of taxes
upon distilled spirits, malt liquors, and
tobacco, with all of his old ability and
with the same patriotic exultation in the
abounding wealth of our people. He re-
veiW3 our former experience in endeavor-
ing to collect revenue from distilled spir*
its, showing that beyond a certain point an
increase of the tax resulted in a decrease
of revenue, and at the same time swelled
the profits of the distillers by hundreds
of millions of dollars. He recalls
how a reduction of the tax from $2
to 50 cents a gallon put a stop to illicit dis-
tillation, how many Industries requiring
alcohol as a material at once revived, and
how the revenue of the government from
this source rose in two years from about
$22,000,000 to nearly $50,000,000. He doe3 not
remind us, but it Is well for us to recall
the fact, that this fortunate chnnge was
brought about by the unanswerable argu-
ments from experience which he laid before
congress. The difficulties in the way of
sound fiscal legislation were much greater
then than now, but the wisdom of the pol-
icy recommended by Mr. Wells was so
clearly demonstrated that it was irreslst*
ible.
After carefully reviewing the changes in
Ahe tax and the vicissitudes of the distilling
industry, Mr. Wells concludes that a mini-
mum tax of 330 per cent upon spirits is
dangerously near to or in excess of the
W. maximum revenue point, and that "any In-
crease in the existing rate will favor a re-
currence of the disastrous and disgraceful
results that characterized the period of
experimental taxation in the years im-
mediately succeeding the termination of
the war." We can not state the details
of the argument advanced, but it appears
to us unanswerable. It is especially to be
noted that, whatever might be the case In
the future, an advance in the tax upon
spirits would be followed by the present de-
crease in revenue, whereas what the gov-
ernment requires Is an Immediate increase.
Passing to the tax upon fermented liquors,
Mr. Wells shows that it has been practi-
cally uniform at the rate of $1 per barrel
of 31 gallons since it was first imposed in
1863. The tax is about 20 per cent ad va-
lorem, and amounts upon every half-pint
glass of beer to about one-fifth of a cent,
under this moderate excise the product
taxed has Increased from 62.205,000 gallons
In 1863 to 1,071,183,000 In 18?3, which signifies
an increase of consumption per caput from
1.86 gallons to over 16 gallons, and an in-
crease of revenue from $1,558,000 to nearly
$32,000,000. Upon this Mr. Wells bbserVes:
"If it becomes desirable at this or any
other time for the Unittnl States to ma-
terially injrease its annual revenue by
additional taxation, such a result can not
be obtained more certainly and with so
little of expense, effort or industrial fric-
tion, as by a moderate increase of the
tax upon fermented liquors. The existing
tax—20 per cent ad valorem—Is lower than
upon almost any other Industrial product
entering largely into domestic consump-
tion." At the same time, it seems, the
brewing of malt liquors is an extremely lu-
crative occupation, while "it is also rea-
sonably certain that In the distribution of
industrial products for consumption, there
is no branch of business that returns a
larger profit on the labor and capital em-
ployed than the retailing of malt liquors,
a small retail store often supporting a large
family, besides paying a high federal and
stato license." Mr. Wells does not hesi-
tate to maintain that if the tax upon beer
were doubled, the revenue of the govern-
ment would be correspondingly increased,
from $32,000,000 to $64,000,000 per annum.
As to tobacco, many interesting partic-
ulars are presented. Our internal revenue
taxes upon tobacco are lighter than those
elsewhere imposed, having been materially
reduced in 1883. These taxes produce now
about $32,000,000, the same amount which is
derived from malt liquors. Had the tax
remained unchanged, the revenue would
now be probably $60,000,000. "Were the same
ratio of taxation on tobacco as exists to-
day in the United Kingdom established
in the United States, the annual revenue
accruing to the federal treasury at the
present time would be $85,000,000. If the
rates existing In France wore adopted, the
annual revenue from this source would be
$112,000,000." Mr. Wells, however, does not
consider the effect of high taxes upon such
articles as beer and tobacco in deterior-
ating their quality. It would, perhaps, not
be detrimental to health were the beer
sellers to add sufficient water to their bev-
erages to compensate themselves for the
Increased tax, but it would be a deplorable
thing to see our people condemned to the
use of the infamous quality of tobacco In-
flicted upon their subjects by the paternal
governments of Europe.
It is hardly necessary to point out the
bearing of Mr. Wells' pamphlet upon the
reform of the tariff. That bearing will
become the great subject of debate jus'
so soon as obstruction to the popular will
ceases In the senate, and until that time
It will be Impossible and undesirable to
fix the attention of the public upon any
P$er-,S?.eme ,than the repeal of the silver
bill. When that shall have been broupht
about, our revenue system will be thor-
oughly revised, and for this work no as-
sistance can be more valuable than that
furnished by the facts and arguments that
Mr. Wells has presented.
A SERIOUS FALL. ! j J '
New York Herald.
"You are very late this morning, Mr.
Baldwin," said a dry goods merchant re-
cently to one of his clerks. "Do not let It
happen again."
"Very sorry," said the clerk, humbly, "I
met with a serious fall."
"Indeed," replied the merchant, relent-
ing. "Are you hurt much?"
"Principally, sir, In your estimation,"
answered the clerk respectfully.
"Oh, never mind that," said the mer-
chant, kindly. "I am very sorry, and had
no Intention to be severe. We are all lia-
hle?to accidents. How did you get the
''Well, you see, sir," said the clerk, con-
fidingly, "I was called quite early this
morning-earlier, in fact, than usual."
"Ah!"
"Yea, sir; but somehow or other I fell
asleep again."
"Go to your desk, sir, anil don't try that
on again," exclaimed the merchant, with
an air of severity, which was belied by the
twinkle in his eye, which denoted that he
enjoyed thejoke.

THE TEXAS COLLEGES.
HOW THEY COMMENCED THE FAIL
AND WINTEE TEEM.
The Attendanoe Is Good and There Seems
to Be a Good Increase Promised.
School Society Notes.
College Station, Tex., Sept. 10.—The col-
lege Is now In full working order, and
the cadets make a splendid appearance in
their new uniforms. The morale and
physique of the boys is higrter than at
any former session, and a greater number
have entered the higher classes.
Prof. Spence, Prof. Price and Surgeon
Gillespie each secured unto himself a wife
during vacation.
The cadets will publish a semi-monthly
paper, to be called The Battalion Cadet.
E. T. Bruce will be editor-in-chief and
Prof. Philpott supervising editor.
The Austin and Calliopean societies have
been reorganized and are holding their
regular meetings.
The artesian well has been subjected to
a thorough test by pumping three or four
days In succession, and it gives a flow of
100,000 gallons per day. The water is a
white sulphur and Is pronounced by phy-
sicians to possess great medicinal virtues.
The temperature of the water Is 107 de-
grees Fahrenheit. When the bath houses
and natatorlum are completed, the agri-
cultural and mechanical college will pos-
sess all the attractions of a health re-
sort.
Work on the foundry and ice plant Is
being rapidly pushed. Material for the
standplpe will shortly be on the ground.
New students are arriving dally and
large numbers of applicants write that
they will enter later when cotton begins
to move more freely.
The jiumber of visitors tlje past .week
has been too great to attempt to give
names.
The Ross volunteer guards have been
reorganized with the following officers:
Miss Bessie Ross, sponsor; Joe Gilbert,
captain; Will Dazey, lieutenant; B. C.
Plttuck, second lieutenant; R. L. Ward,

E. C. Jonas, captain company C, has
presented Austin society with two large
crayon portraits, 22x27, of Governor Ross
and Sam Houston, drawn by himself. The
society already had a crayon portrait of
Stephen F. Austin, and through the skill
and generosity of Captain Jonas they now
have a trio of Texas' benefactors.
ST. EDWARD'S COLLEGE.
Austin, Tex., Sept. 16.—The first semester
of 1893-94 opened on the 5th, Tuesday. For
several days every incoming train brought
its quota of students, generally new com-
ers, for most of the "old boys" hang back
until the very last day of vacation, and
some of them longer.
Contrary to the expectations of many,
based on the hard times and the scarcity
of money, the attendance at St. Edward's
this year is up to the average, opening
with 125, to which dally additions are be-
ing made. College Hill is as lively and
full of animation as In former years, with
military drills, baseball games, etc.

organized for the session, with Thos. O.
Hunter as captain, J. J. Whelan, first
lieutenant; J. B. Stoner, second lieuten-

the latter the Cornet band has taken the
lead, practicing daily.
Baseball, the great national game, has
still as enthusiastic a following as of
yore. Of eight games played with outsiders
by the college first nine, the latter suffered
only one defeat, and that when the vic-
tory seemed secure. At the end, of the
second Inning the college rfien had a lead
of 8 to 0, but they were defeated. Follown
ing are some of the scores: i

FORT WORTH UNIVERSITY.
Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 16.—The increase
In attendance on the opening day was a
third greater than that of one year ago,
and new students are constantly arriving.
Many former ones have returned, bent on
pursuing their course to its completion,
so that the classes in each department are
quite large.
The military company, Colonel B. Boet-
zinger commanding, was formed from
a third more cadets than filled Its ranks
last term. Note In connection with this
Item that the rhetoric class of girls took
for the subject of their essay this week,
"The Awkward Squad on Parade."
The Athenian and the Orophillan literary
societies met on Friday afternoon and
elected officers for the ensuing term. The
Orophlllans have a large new hall to call
their own, and to fit and furnish for use
The young men in connection with the
young women of the college Christian asso-
ciations gave a social on Friday evening as
an introductory move in their campaign
for new members and workers in the asso-
ciation. The welcome address was deliv-
ered by Miss Josle Terrell, president of the
Y. M. C. A. It was highly original and
given in dactylic hexameter verse, which
was very pleasing and effective. Follow-
ing a song by the associations, Prof. I. C.
Chase addressed the young men of the
audience In a very earnest and touching
manner. He addressed himself to the
young men not because he loved the girls
the less, but that he loved the bovs the
more—a greater proportion of them not
being Christians. After his address the
boys and girls spent an agreeable hour
shaking hands and getting acquainted.

Floresvllle, Tex., Sept. 17.—A colored citi-
zen named Henry Smith has been getting
supplies all the year of Mr. C. A. Ware, a
merchant at Pleasant Valley, on orders
signed by Columbus Sykes. Ware was glad
to have Sykes run such an account with
him, but thought he would send him a
statement on the 1st of September. He did
so, and Sykes was astonished. He had
given no orders. And now Smith Is in jail
for forging Sykes' name.
W. D. Gltherwon of Georgia was married
last Tuesday near Marcellna to Miss S. A.
Moseley, formerly of Georgia, but who has

WEATHER AND CHOPS.
Laredo, Tex., Sept. 17.—A shower of rain
visited this place Friday night.
Goldthwaite, Tex., Sent. 16.—The past
three days have been the hottest of the
year.
Huntsvllle, Tex.. Sept. 17.—Some cotton
is coming in, though farmers who can are
holding It for better prices.
Floresvllle, Tex., Sept. 17.—Cotton has
been coming In lively the past week, and
business with the merchants has been fairly
good. Cotton sold Friday at 7.G6c.
Velaseo, Tex., Sept. 16.—The weather Is as
near perfection as ever was anvwhere for
gathering the crop already open and for in-
creasing the yield from late matured bolls.
Margaret, Foard Co., Tex.. Sept. 13.—
The thermometer at 4 o'clock this after-
noon stands 110 in the shade. Vegetation is
burning up and peaches cooked on the trees.
Laurel, Tex., Sept. 17.—The continued dry
weather has prevented people from plant-
ing fall gardens, besides injuring the cot-
ton, cane and potato crop. People who
claim to know say there is a splendid mast
this fall.
Carrlzo, Tex., Sept. 17.—The past ten days
have been among the hottest ever known
at this point, running up to 102 in the
coolest places. The hot winds are drying
the very life out of the county.
Pendletonvllle, Tex., Sept. 17.—Each gin
is doing Its share of ginning, considering
the small crops, which will not average
over one-third bale per acre. Rain is
needed for stock and drinking water.
Benehley, Tex., Sept. 16.—The farmers in
this vicinity are very busy pic-king cotton.
Prairie cotton will average about a bale to
every five acres; bottom cotton yields one-
half bale to the acre. The dry weather still
continues. Stock water has given out and
all stock is suffering.
Belton, Tex., Sept. 17.—The farmers are
responding to the advanced price of cotton
and bringing it in and selling it. The past
two days have looked more like the cotton
season was on than any this season. The
receipts Friday were 179 bales. Total re-
ceipts this season up to and including 15th
Instant 1075; same date last season, 1474. It
should be borne In mind that cotton is
much earlier this season than last, and a
larger per cent of it has been picked and
ginned and Is ready for market.
Jacksonville, Tex., Sept. 16.—The weather
Is now hot and dry as midsummer; the
'roads are one mass of dust. Cotton will
;soon be all opened and picked out. Since
picking has began it tells the tale of the
shortest crop for years. It will lie safe to
say there won't be more than half as much
cotton shipped from tills place as was last
year. Lots of crops seem to be no more
than a foot high, and the leaves are about
parched up by the hot sun. For the last
few days the mercury has run up nearly to
100 degrees and the winds are almost as hot
and the streams are gelling low.
Bremond, Tex., Sept. 17.—The heat for
this week has passed the record for the
year, 102 to 106 degrees from 2 p. m. to 6
p. m„ with hot winds. Grass Is dead.
Cotton has thrown off its foliage. Cisterns
ale dry and wells are falling. Two gins in
town are hauling water, and distress
caused by the dust and shortage of money
renders things very blue. The farmers are
generally holding their cotton at home, and
little merchants who advanced to ther, are
In a precarious condition and must have
relief from the farmer, nil extension from
the jobber, or go to the wall.
Cuero, Tex., Sept. 17.-A great deal is
being said in regard to the farmer holding
cotton for better prices In this and other
portions of Texas, and to ascertain what
people are doing In this section The News'
correspondent Inquired of ten farmers as
he came to them. The answer came from
eight out of the ten that at present they
are not. The other two were, but no more
than Is usually held by tliem. There are
always some who hold, even though the
price be 10 cents instead of 8 cents, as
there are the few who believe In higher
prices; and here every season and at all
prices there are those who look for the top
and hold their cotton for it, and drop out
at the bottom at last.

Of th<? condition of a bilious stomach and
sluggish liver is the human countenance.
Not only the ukln, but the eyeballs are
tinged with the yellow hue when the bile
gets into the blood. Besides this, sick
headaches ensue, the tongue becomes
furred, pains, are felt In the liver and
through the right shoulder blade, and diz-
ziness is experienced upon rising from a
sitting or recumbent posture by the bil-
ious invalid. For these and other Indica-
tion of biliousness, Iloytetter's Stomach
Bitters is a sovereign remedy. It is also
efficacious In chills and fever, dumb ague,
ague cake, Inactivity of the kidneys and
bladder, rheumatism and nervousness.
It stimulates, restores digestion and sleep,
and tends greatly to mitigate the infirmi-
ties of age.
