N. I , correspondent to the New York Su: . I Hiring the last presidential campaign dem ocratic orators everywhere among these report. Whatever rea son existed in 1882 for a reduction of the tariff has not spent its force. The poor people can hear no better now than then the burden of unnecessary taxation. Con gress is no more likely now than then to witstand the temptation of an overflowing hilh woke the eehoe,s in denunciation of treasury. The annual expenditures die internal revenue laws, and In manv in- — > 1 — — 1 l '-— *•’** stances were equally denunciatory of the .Ulcers themselves. Thus the moonshiner ivius wooed and won. And when the liies- vnre flashed along the wires that n demo cratic president was elected, and the country printing offices had set up and mailed it with the other news of the week, it was taken by horseback, by muleback, ami by hand into the mountain highways and byways, and reaching the hands of the highland distiller, he read with delight the glad tidings and was thrilled by the thoughts of the liberty that now would be his. The months rolled by, and the moun taineers who could not read were told of the new president’s inauguration. The tires that had been out, perhaps, for years were again kindled under the picturesque structures far up among the mountain dells and gorges and eaves, where is horn sparkling dewdrop of the illicit variety, and the curling smoke went up from a thousand little val leys. The vigilence of government offi cials began to be better rewarded than pensions have Increased from $28,000,000 to #ii5,(Xi0,000; for rivers and harbors from #tl.- 000,000, in lSTIi, to #13 000,000 in 1885. The | total ordinary expenditures have increased from #131,000.000 in 1870 to #208.000,000 in 18S5. and the river and pension bills now pending before congress, and which have passed either the house or the senate, call > for expenditures which could not he made except by adding to the present burden of j taxation. Meanwhile our commerce is de clining. Since the revision of 1883 our foreign trade has decreased #200,000,000. I The farmer is losing the foreign market fi r his grain, and the manufacturer, burdened with taxes upon his materials, cannot send I his surplus product abroad. No steamship ! subsidies,however lavish, can surmount the i obstacles which our tariff laws oppose to ' foreign trade. We believe that extrava gance in public expenditures should be i checked, that commerce should be encour- aged, and that no tax should lie laid upon the people which the government does not I need. Because it tends to secure these objects : u A V U THE WITNESSES. formerly, and scores of defendants' were I we believe that the present Morrison bill bound over at the commissioners’ court to make their appearance at the circuit court. It is remarkable how open and how gen eral these violations immediately grew. A United States deputy marshal who for rears has been in the service recently told Vour correspondent that the violations have been more numerous and easily dis covered than ever before. On one occasion when the officer was passing through a rather remote section of the highland backwoods lie chanced to follow a somewhat unfrequented road, and found a small distillery on a little brook not fifty yards from the wav, and in full view of passers-by. The establishment was in full operation, and a huge, good-natured highlander was presiding over it, endeav oring to coax the evaporating maize into exhilarating stimulant dear to the mountaineer’s heart. He was instantly arrested, and in his astonish ment he only observed: “Then I reckon, cap’ll, hit’s a mistake about a dimicrat president bein’ ’lected?” The impression seems to have been so-called ought to receive the favorable at tention of congress. By putting wool, salt, fish, hemp, lumber, aiid other articli a upon the free list, and by making a rea sonable reduction of the duty on certain manufactured products, it secures a rea sonable reduction in the revenues, a need ed relief to the consumer, and a living chance for certain important indurtries, notv too heavily handicapped by the tax upon their rnw material. If enacted we believe it would promote domestic indus try and foreign trade alike, and do much toward closing the long period of business stagnation and idleness of labor which the war tariff has so signally failed to pre vent. We respectfully remind our repre sentatives in congress that while the bill touches very lightly the protected inter- England, the important in dustries which it relieves will be quick to feel and to recognize its benefits, and that j the consumers in whose interest it is fram ed comprise the entire body of voters. It appears to be in its main features quite in harmony with the recently expressed A Crippled Confederate Says: I only weighed 128 pounds when T commenced GUINN’S PIONEER, and non weigh 117 pounds.

But these unlet tered sons of tbe mountains who are the manufacturers of illicit whisky are not of the worst type of criminals. They believe that they have a right to do as they choose with their own, and hence distill their corn instead of hauling it over almost im passable roads fifty or a hundred miles away to market. The moonshiner calls in his neighbors, and with their aid and that of bis wife and sons and daughters there is soon built the rude structure now so eom- r.:nn in this mountain section and popular ly called a “blockade still-house." The 1 salt is: pounded into a powder by means of a mortar and pestle, which is operated by the water in the brook always hard by every still. A beam like tin old-fashioned well sweep is arranged on the bank of the stream and poised on a fulcrum. On the end of the beam furthest from the brook is the mortar, large enough to hold several bushels of malt, and into this falls the huge pestle, a three or four feet section of a tree's trunk some eight inches in diameter. On the other end of a beam is a bucket, sufficiently large to hold water enough to be heavier than the pestle, and this, be ing in position to eaten the dimiu- tive waterfall, gently presses downward when full, and bearing the pestle aloft, sinks until it rests upon the inclined plane, where the water pours out and the pestle Calls, only to be pulled up again as the bucket takes in water anew. This is the sort of pestle thut will beat and pound away whether the rnonshiner be with it or l not, in fear of tbe coming of the officer of n w the law. has hied himself away among the higher hills. When a sufficient number of gallons of whisky have been made to justi fy a trip to market, the muscular moon shiner and his force carry the precious fluid by the jugful to his humble home far down the mountain side, where tbe road begins. Into the canvas-covered wag ons the kegs are rolled, and down the mountain go the oxen or the mules, carrying into the pale of civilization the highlander’s tribute to commerce. Away across the Blue mountains, the boundary line between the Carolinas, this freight is borne until driver and team are amid the cotton fields of the Palmetto ‘date, where the thirsty planter hails with gladness the moonshine wagon, while the gay and festive villager, oppressed by local option views, extends the heartiest wel come to the contents of the kegs, and eon- ‘ Uders the dispenser of the dew n veritable ■ alchemist, whose magical distillation flings over tbe commonplace of life the glamour of gilt edge. The moonshiner thus distills and dis- j tributes until some revenue official over-, takes him in his traffic. Then a trial at court, and, if he is convicted, a term at Albany# but if he is acquitted, as fop lack of sufficient evidence he is likely to be, the moonshiner returns to his remote habitation, and, far up among the pro- t(sting mountains, kindles again the fires whose embers are scarcely cold. Hu lives ‘ with smail crops and a large family, with little information and many wants, with the least of ambitions and the soundest of appetites, until he passes away and sleeps with his fathers under the shadow “f the mountains where he first saw the light, and where his uneventful days have been spent. and we ask them to weigh the matter carefully before putting themselves under the necessity of explaining to their con stituents a tote against the consideration of the bill. !

Some of the daily newspapers are ven turing their ignorance by recommending that the labor difficulties would be settled if the discontented mechanic would take up the business of agriculture and “become the contented owner of a farm.” This isa renewal of the principle in force half a century ago, when the dull boy was kept on the farm, and the bright intellect fitted for a profession, But now it takes a mighty smart man to make money at farming. Ttie average mechanic lias not the brains and experience to successfully carry on a large farm in the eastern or middle states, while in the far west the low prices of the few staple crops that arc grown would make the me chanic farmer more disoonted than ever. If the mechanic will rough it in the far west, and be contented while he is learn ing to farm it and while the country is de veloping around him, well and good, but most of them are not made of that kind of stuff. We are reminded of a remark of a master mechanic in a large foundry, who had worked his way up to a good salary and then left it to go to farming, only to return to tbe shop in disgust, for as he snid. “I am smart enough to make a living comotives, but 1 find I can’t run a farm.
