THIS PAPER RIWNRI^EKISS .UrwtMas ftnwm no RprOM 3tAwh«nl a.l V..rtl Jr,« Bwr be -j»Uo tor It IN KKW VOUU. THE INTERNAL REVENUE LAW AND TJI£ TARIFF. i- (lor more than high highly esteemed contemporary the Wilmington Shir has been pleased to differ from the views we .expressed the olhei week on the Inter nal Revenue and the Tariff. We arc glad uf it from the fact that the Star is to level beaded and well posted that it will or ought to be able to tell us the reason why the abominable aud dostcs tably executed Revenue law is kept up. The Star says: "This writer hav known fine tobacco to fetch from $3 i to $75 per hundred pounds fifteen years before the •'lnfer nal Revenno" was over beard of in North (Carolina." eo, before tjje Revenue existed to opprcs# the planter and manufacturer fine tobacco fetched good prices. We woujd ask the Star if it ever knew any thing called tobacco in those days to sell at 25 cents, 60 cents and SI.OO a hundred pounds. If the Star does'nt know this fact we ean inform it that thousands .of pounds are uow selling at these prices aud not Pig-iron Kelly monopoly but manufacturing establishments arc sell ing this tobacco after it passes through thair bauds at 20, 30, or 40 ceuts per ponnd for which according to the Star fifteen years aijo when an "Infernal Revenue" law had not boon beard of in the State the country manufacturers hauled their product to Wilmingtou and sold it at 10 to 12 cents'per pound. Tbo Star says : "The tnan who con sumes pays." Aud so he does indirect ly, hat iu a double indirect vi.-w the planter is the real sufferor; every manu facturer in buying a lot of tobacco counts the tax and the cost of hauling it to say nothing of the risks he must run to keep oat of the clutches of un principled Revenue officers, who for the merest technical violation of this oppres sive law, scoup everythiug into their own pockets. We said and stick to it that the Internal Revenue is the most unjust and oppressive law with which a free people has ever becu cursed, and pe add that when the day comes if it erer does, that the people of the South particularly in tobacco sections are free from it they may look bank upon its exis tence as little less than a roign of terror Our contemporary says : "What honest, law abiding 1 class is oppressed ' It is true it interferes with aocret conspirators aud sneaking viola tors (f law, but that is all. Shall the the financial system of sixty million peo ple be regulated and planned tu adapt itself to the demands of the moonshin jora' wbo violate law." We must inform tho Star that 'nioon f'liners" are tho parties who care least for it. They get for tho product of their •tills nearly as much as they could it the tax were paid, for "mountain dew," ; whether stilled fr«:u corn or fruit, sells readily at from §I.OO to $1.50 per gal lon and block tobacco cannot be bought for less than that upon which tho tax has been paid. Those who pay the tax pr try to abide by the law are the on. i upon whom it beam heaviest. We have known parties to be innocent of the in tention of violating the Internal llevo nne who have suffered from tho manner ID which the law wa« executed Yes, we are pleased to tell the Star , it is not fun, it is not irony when we say the Infernal Revenue is the most unjust and oppressive law with which a free peoplo h,i# evrr been cursed. Will the Siar inform tho people how many millions of dollars are stored •way in the vaults of the U. S. Treas ury, after evory chicken rogue up North ■ho lost an eye tn the dark or a hand : )n a steel trap, has been pensioned it be happened to as muoli as have seen 1 lb* inside of a Yank or camp. Yes, it. ii oppressive on huudreof our moun-1 tain people who have planted orchards, and who let the fruit lie on the ground and roL It is oppressive on our far mers because they canuot sell their to bacco in any quantity, to any body. Men ought to havo a right to chew ! tobacco raised at homo by their neigh bor* as the | fjtar has the right to buy a bushel of corn from its neighbor. KB I J*C tally ii this so when we consider that 1 there is so much money hoarded in the U. S. Treasuries and sab-treasuries that (lie last one or two sessions of Cod ' gress have spent a Urge part of their time pondering what '.o do with it. I | As to the Tariff the Star say* of the i Revenue that the uian who neither , smokes, chews nor drinks, (outs is most-; j ly blockade), docs not pay a farthing of the tax, so say we of the Tariff, that the ! tnan who neither eats, wears clothes,' rides on railroads, nor enjoys any of the 1 ' other luxuries or necessities uf life, and when he wants to get away, ties a rock around his neck with a grape vine and jumps into tlio deepest mud hule he eati j : find pays no Tariff, Hut to be in earn- j i est, from necessity, custom or i-nue oth j er cause, the Star knows that the price of labor in some of the countries of Europe is less than our people consid- | oring the surroundings can live on here. | To give free trade will be to put our! goods at a less price thau they can be manufactured ou this side of braucb" aud our manufacturers will be : compelled to close their shops and thusj throw out of euiployuieut thousands of j our people who depend upon their labor I (or Ihcir daily bread. While we are uot for "Pig-iron Kelly 1 monopolies, we are not for tobacco and whiskey monopolies iu the South. We j say give us a Tariff to run the govern- ; ■neut, but away with the Infernal Hcv-' ! euae law, at least until the time comes! when there is not ao much money lioar ded in the United States that Congress does not know what to do with it, and the people North South cannot get i enough scattered among ilietn to carry ' on their legitimate business. Austria has finally filled its vacant ! legation in the United States by sending ' Baron Tavara to Washington. The oir- ! j cumstances of the case are briefly as j follows. Iu the beginning of the pros- 1 ! ent administration oui government ap- I pointed Mr. Keiley United States ! Minister to Austria, but the Royal and ' imperial Apostolic Government intiuia i ted to our Secretary ot State that there ! would be an objection to the acceptance J of Mr. Keiley's credentials owing to his j wifo boiiig of Jewish birth (Mrs. Kcily, however,was a Christian by couver»ion) | for the locg established rules of the i expire ostracise any oueof Jewish birth : from being presented at court. This ' condition of thing* would have made it very unpleasant socially for Mr Koilcy ! jto reside there officially, l'he Great! | Republic took marked exceptions to the ■ action of feudal Austria in the iuatter, jand the result has been that both the | Austrian legation at Washington ana | the U. S. legation at Vicuna bare rc | (Darned vacant during the present ad-1 ministration. i The Jeffors'in *lppulnchinn Phiioso• i j pher suggests the following possible i | eifect of the decision of the U i'ed! I States Supreme court declaring that it | is unconstitutional aud a violation of the interstate coiumersc clause uf the Cou- : ' stitution for a State to lay a tax on | | commercial travellers or "drummers.'' i' jltsays : "The States must rai«e revenue to' cairy on their governments, and if home j merchants are taxed it ia no mora than right that those from other States who seek the privilege of so ling goods should piy for their lioenses, foi in reality it ia not the goods that are taxed, Dut the ! privilege of selling them. The quoation/l can be viewed teeknieally with as uiuoh propriety this way as the other. If AUe • decision were to have fall scope j/ould it not be in order for to go into any State from another' and sell samples of liquoi free, by the bottle, barrel or any wav thoy SJW fit, ID con travention of all State or looal law 1" The Stewart art gallery having been disposed of, the Stewart bric-a-hrao is nuw being sold at auction. A pair of; rases in pate tendre, whatever that ii, j brought $'2,900, Monday, and this i 5 the highest prico so far obtained for any ; sat or any single one of the cosily bau- j hies.— llaleigh Aews Observer.

I We meet a great many people who ! seeiu to lmve expected the Legislature lo mahe "times bolter." We »re sorrv ! they were predoomcd to disappointment, j but suoh is the case Our State Ltyii-' lam re docs aot control the coining or 1 1 circulation of money. Taxes are at about as low a point as our government can lire upon, and '.here is nothing that' , wc can see for the Legislature to do to' I relieve the finaucial distress of our peo-! j pie. It may be that a modification of our homestead laws would help matters. ! —Clinton Caucatiai. One of the saddest eights ever seen in Georgia was a wood wagnu hauling ; Northern cabbage out into the country. It wu.i enough to make a mortgaged mule lean up agaiust the stablo and weep tears of deij^air.—Macon Tele-' urtrph. What then shall be said of North | Carolina wagons doing the same thing ' 1 They not ouly haul out of our towns » i few cabbage heads, but thousands of bushels of western raised corn, Irish po tatoes ot northern or eastern growth, thousands of pounds ot (restern bai-bD, and many other articles whioli might be .! produced at home. There can be no i permanent cure of "hard times" while I this slate of things oootinues. Our pco | plo have the means of rclf-sapport can I raise from the soil all that is needful for their health and comfort—but if they will not do it, "bard times" are sure to couie, not anly to the farmer, but tu j others, who may be expected to share ' j his fortune.-—Salisbury t >f'a/cA»Kin. 1 The Agricultural Department cannot prevent.armors from beiug humbugged \by these fellows. A year or two agn these long wagons with sharp talking j i men went all over the easteru suction j selling a sixty-five dollar stove, taking ] mortgages upon gcvery solitary thing j about the house. The folliiwtngjfall the | collector was around and the mune/ had | to come. Out of seveu hundred sold in '; the counties adjoining Craven they did •' not fail collecting in more than a dozen i cises. Iu every case where a farmer! ; purchased one ot those sixty five dollar ; stoves he absolutely threw away at least fori; dollars, for any one of the stcve ' dealers in New Bern or Kiuston would I have sold liitif • stove that would have served his purpose just as well, if not . better, lor from fifteen to twenty-five | dollars. Suppose there were one thou sand of them sold in the counties ol Jonis, Onslow, Orcven and I'auilico, i' > was simply taking a tax ot forty thou ) sand dollars from these Semitic) without : returning one cent of it cither in cash ! or in any other way. There are more! of these long wagons going in every j | direction scooping in the farmer.—Aev j ' Bern Journal. l'ity is one of the aweetcst rittues of j ' the butuati heart, but its falling tears of i wannest tenderness for human woe J should not well away the icy bars ol j 1 justice, ard turn the captive felon free. J | The law must be respected. Its uia i jesty must be vindicated. The laws are I oiadu for the good of the community ; their enforcement is presumed to punish j ! ihe offender and protect the innocent, j Wilful violators of the law Imve lived from the time that Cain imbued his hands with bis biothirs blood until now. On that first great crime in the world's \ history God sot his seal of condemnation, md proclaimed tue great law "That : whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man . shall his blood be shod." This is the | ! fiat jnstitia of Jehovah, and the inau or | comuiuuity who opposes that edict sets ; a hand against find's law and places at defiance the judgment of tho Great I j Am.

MODERN COOKING AND MOD ERN LIVING havo brought it on. It comes tt]>on us una wares. The patients havo pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth lias a bad taste, especi ally in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collect', jdxnit the teeth. The appetite is jxjor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough at first dry, hut after a few months it is at tended with a greenish colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest After a time he be comes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebod ings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up sud denly. The bowels become costive; the skin is diy and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions becomes scanty and high col ored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is fre quently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is fre quently attended with palpi tation of the heart and Asth matic symptom*; the vision be comes impaired, with snots be fore the eyes; there is a feel ing of great prostration and weakness. All of these symp toms an; in turn present It is thought that nearly one-half of our jwpulation lias this dis ease ins«}f.ieof its varied forms. Shaker Extract of Koots (Sei gel's Syrup) changes the fer ments of the I )igestive organs so as to convert the food we eat into a form that will give nourish ment to the feeble body, and good health is the consequence. The effect of this remedy is simply nirrvelous. Millions upon millions of bottles have been sold in this countfy, and the testimonials in favor of its curative jowers are ovei whelmin','. Hundreds of so called discuses tinder various names are tha result of indi gestion, and when this ouo trouble is removed the other diseases vanish, for they are but symptoms of the real malady. * I Testimonials from thousands of peojile sjjeaking highly of its curative properties prove this beyond a doubt.
