: Thomas Jefferson iu, 18i5 found
an overflowing Treasury, with both
internal and external taxing sys
terns at work, and what did he re
commend t .: i . - " ' ! '5 ' ' ;'
The suppression of unnecessary
offices, of useless establishments
and expenses, enabled, us to dis
continue our internal taxes. UThese
covering our land with officer, and
oneniuerour doors to their iutru4
sions, had already begun that pro-.
cess of domiciliary vexation, which,
once entered,, is scarcely to be re
stained from reaching successively
every article of produce and pro-
perty. The remaining revenue, on
the consumption of foreign articles,
is paid chiefly; by those who can
afford to add foreign luxuries to
domestic comforts, being collected
oh our seaboard and frontiers only,
and . incorporated with the transac
tions of our merchantile citizens, it
may be the pleasure . and the pride
of an American , to ask, what
fanner, what mechanic, what la
borer ever sees a tax gatherer of
the United States f Theso . contri
butions enable us to support . the
current expenses of the Govern
ment, to fulfil contracts with for
eign nations, to extinguish the na
tive right of soil within our limits,
to extend those limits, and to apply;
such a surplus to our public debts
as places at a short day their final
redemption, aud that redemption
once effected the revenue thereby
liberated may, by a iast repartition
among the States,. and by a corres
ponding amendment, of the Consti
tution, be applied to rivers, canals,
roads, artsr manufactures, educa
tion, and other great objects with
in each Slate." .
In hvs message to Congress in
December, 1806, President Jeffer
son, after recommending abolition
of some special taxes, says : -;
There will still, ere long, be an
accumulation of moneys in . the
Treasury beyond the installments
of public debt which we are per
mitted by contract to pay. ; They
cannot, then, without a modifica
tion assented to by the public cred
itors, be applied to the extinguish
ment of this debt ; nor, if our peace
continues, will they be wanted for
any other existing purpos. jThe
question, therefore, now comes fori
ward, to what other objects shall
these surpluses be appropriated
and the whole surplus of impost
after tlie entire discharge of the
public debtt Shall we suppress
the impost, and give that advantage)
to foreign over domestic manutac-j
tarejr8T On a tew articles ot more
general and necessary use, the sup
pression, in due. season, will doubt-,
less be right ; bnt the great mass,
of the article' on which impost is
paid are ioreign luxuries, purchas
ed by those 6ly who are rich
enough to afford themselves the
use of them -"uns patripusnw
would certainly pryoflrtfwiAnn-
nance and appliealet ciU' great
purposes of the pubil.yu.Hication,

jects of public improvemenL77,. 1
Jenerson then goes on to uescnue
the advantages to the; people to lie
Grained' bv public improvements.
Notice how well he states the case,
that even when we do not absolute
ly need the money it is better to
levy the tax, for the advantage to
domestic over foreign, manufac
tures, and to expend the money in
proper works of improvement.
That is Jeffersonian Democracy,
and good enough for me. Now, let
us-turn to Jackson. In his first
message to Congress (1829) j he
said: -'" ' ; ' i.- : !"- i
j The agricultural interest of our
country is so essentially connected
with every, other, and so superior
in importance to them all, that it
is principally as manufactures and
commerce teud to increase the
value of agricultural productions
and to extend their application to
the wants and comforts of society!
that they deserve the fostering
care of Government. Looking forf
ward to the period not far distant
when a sinking fund will no Longer
be required, the duties .on those
articles of impprtation which can
not come in competitiou with our
mm ivrodnctions. are the first that

lnharmonloaa Doctors and Apothecaries
According to a contribution of
Dr. A. J. Howe, of ! Cincinnati, to
one of our medical journal contem
poraries, the doctors and druggists
of that city have been having some
differences.; ,,Tbe, past, season has
been : Mtoo healthy," i and i people
liaveJ been "going ito the drug
stores for the treatment of minor
ills, calling for castor oil, cathartic
pills, qninine, cough lozenges; and
even for salve to cure an eruption.
This habit made physicians jealous
of the practice druggists are doiug.
and they called the latter to give
an account of their doings, each
party choosing a committee tOihold
a conference in regard to the issue.
The druggists claim! the. right to
sell 'little things over! the counter,
ami denounce the impertinence of
the doctors' interferences ,!

never saw the 'patient but once -that

fee of; only one dollar .was j paid.
Now, ! this : is rather hard on the

the higher courts that a patient
who obtains a prescription from a
doctor, and paj's for it, secures
ownership in the recipe, and can
demand it of the druggist at the

means1 that the natieut owns the
prescription and can have it refill

keen the original prescripti&fHn

this is not in keeping with the let
