WEDNESDAY, May 5,
GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNI
TED STATES.
Much attention has been drawn of
late to the comparative financial con
dition of France the United States.
To all who have taken an interest in
the matter, a contrast between Great
Britain and the American Union may
not be unattractive. The New York
Express has taken the trouble to con
dense an immense array of figures to
accomplish this purpose, and we avail
ourselves, in a great measure, of the
presentation, made by that paper. We
find, for instance, that the following
table of British receipts and expendi
tures is a good starting point in the
treatment of this subject:
Receipts. Expenditures.
1874 $386,698,285 $882,832,550
1875 374.610,000 371,640,000
Here is a comparatively large sur
plus. When such a thing occurs in
Great Britain the invariable custom has
been to correspondingly reduce taxa
tion. This policy has been adopted
ever since the inauguration of free
trade, and it is found that every reduc
tion of taxation is followed by an in
crease of the consumption of the other
commodities.
During 26 years, there have been only
four years when the expenditure sur
passed the receipts and these were
years of war with China, and Abys
sinia; a temporary increase of the tax
on incomes making good very rapidly
all losses. The Express shows that
“from 1862 to 1874 the annual reduc
tions of taxes in excess of increase and
in addition to the tax list aud rates ag
gregate 8109,000,000, and the revenue
has Suffered no diminution. The Gov
ernment retains a small rate of tax on
incomes, but since 1842 this tax has
been altered eighteen times. It began
at 7d. in the pound; for the Russian
war it was raised to 14d. in 1854, and
to 16d. in 1856. Next year it was re
duced to 7d., and in 1858 to sd. In
1859 it was raised to 9d., and next
year to 10d., and was reduced in
successive years to 4d., and then
advanced to sd. and 6d. A year
ago it was reduced to 2d., being only
%of 1 per cent. A year ago the taxes
were reduced §25,000,000, including
$10,000,000 of tax on sugar, $7,500,000
on incomes, and $2,000,000 on horses.
Notwithstanding this large reduction,
there will be another probably made
this year, the revenue exceeding even
the estimates, though the year being
of less than ordinary activity, especial
* ly-in tho sal9 of manufactured goods,
an interruption in the coal and iron
mining districts, and a general de
pression. Nevertheless, by a reduction
of taxes equal to the surplus revenue,
there ? lias been no loss of revenue. The
measure of prosperity is the food,
clothing and other articles purchas
able bj the people. This is day by
day increasing, with no loss of reve
nue.”
Coming to a comparison with the
United States, in the values of import
ed goods, the subjoined tables speak
for themselves :
Value of goods. Tax thereon.
Great Britain, $1,113,876,660 $103,359 690
United States .. 684,633,736 184,929,042
As only a few articles of luxury are
taxed in Great Britain, while woolen,
worsted, cotton, iron, steel and other
great raw materials are free of import,
the reader may understand why Eng
land, with her free trade, is thriving
and the United States, taxed and pro
tected to an extremity, are falling into
commercial decay. We quote from the
Express concerning the relative ex
penditures of Great Britain and the
United States :
Great Britain $371,640,000
United States 282,238,700
These figures include for Great Britain
the postal and telegraph service, costing
$25,000,000. but yielding $35,000,000, or $lO,-
000,000 profit. The appropriation for the
American postal service was $35,750,000,
and the receipts $29,000,000, leaving a defi
ciency of over $6,000,000. Other items of
expenditure wero:
Gt. Britain. United States.
Interest on debt... $133,000,000 $103,000,000
Army 65,000,000 42,313,927
Navy..* 51,000,000 30,932,587
The British army consists of 129,000 men
and officers; that of the United States is
24,000 men and officers. The British navy
has 240 ships in commission, with 60.000
officers, seamen and marines. The United
States navy has less than 40 vessels in ser
vice, and the number of officers and men
does not exceed 12,000. With her large
army and navy, and expensive royal fam
ily, the whole expenditures of Britain do
not much exceed those of the United States.
When Mr. Hugh McCulloch gets
through with proving the immense su
periority of France to the United States
financially, it is to be hoped he will
give his countrymen a lesson from
John Bull. The hardest blow the
British ever gave the United States
was grafting the Wilberforce theory
of abolition upon the Puritan mind.
That was the dead-fall which, as Brit
ish statesmen calculated, would crush
the prosperity of the American Repub
lic, by dividing the sections, compell
ing war for false issues, resulting in
the emancipation and franchise of ne
groes, who were thereby unsphered
from their proper orbit and given per
mission to die out gradually after hav
ing crippled the great Republic’s com
merce and industry—all for the benefit
and salvation of English supremacy in
trade. Gradually this important truth
is creeping into the minds of Nor
thern men, and they will discover
finally, if they have not already done
so, that had Garrison, Phillips, Ger
bitt Smith, Greeley, Sumner, Wilson,
Trumbull, Thad Stevens and men of
that ilk been bought out and out by Brit
ish gold, they could not have inflicted a
direr fate upon the negro population
and so completely, in the demoraliza
tion of their own brethren, played
into the hands of far-pervading Euglish
policy and ambition. Great Britain is
not, in a diplomatic sense, to blame
for moving every muscle and every
spring of action to put a formidable
rival at a disadvantage. How far she
was morally to blame, the reader may
judge for himself. It is the Puritan
statesmen though who cannot escape
censure and condemnation. But if
there be an made* now the North
ern delusion has been exploded, to
resurrect the South, this section, so
quick to forgive and so generous in all
of its instincts, wiil extend the right
hand of fellowship to all men, of what
ever creed or nationality, who come
among us to help make our waste
places bloom again and our stricken
hearts rejoice, to the sweet strains of
revived industry and the music of
peaceful pursuits.
KELLEY & CO.
The Philadelphia Times says :
Judge Kelley is a little late learning
what any intelligent statesman should
have known several years ago. but it is
something to have one of his strong par
tisan proclivities to bear testimony to the
truth when it costs something of the favor
of power to tell it. Of course Judgo Kel
ley won’t go into the Cabinet now, nor
will he bo sought for to give political ad
vice at the White House; but as truth will
outlive not only the incumbent of the White
House, but the White House itself, he has
made a profitable investment, and he won’t
have long to wait for the dividend. If there
is one thing that the people of the country
mean to have, at any cost to ambition, it
is—Peace!
The Judge is a knowing rat, and de
serts a sinking ship. He is no Casa
bianca. Before Kelley & Cos. com
menced their Reconstruction abomi
nation, which has disgraced and im
poverished the country, Grant recom
mended a perfect restoration of the
Union, but was over-ruled by Johnson,
Sumner, Greeley and Kelley. He
afterward made himself master, and
executed their laws so rigorously that
they have all been compelled to squeal
when the result showed that curses come
home to roost when darkness falls upon
the cursers. The country could have
had peace, in 1866, easily enough, if it
had not been for men like Kelley &
Cos., who forced their vile legislation on
the South, which is now reacting on
the whole country, and finds its too
faithful executioner in Grant, who
originally opposed the whole scheme,
but made it eventually a stepping stone
to power and dominion. Now the au
thors of Reconstruction are sick at the
very sight of their monstrous progeny
and ease their bile by abusing their own
President who simply carries out, with
an iron hand, their execrable policy.
The policy of tho Democratic party is to
4 war upon the laws which Kelley & Go.
were instrumental in framing and
Grant is now executing as he conceives
it to be his sworn duty to do. Strike
down the deadly laws, and the whole
fabric of ruthless Radical misrule and
destruction tumbles like Daoon prone
to the dust, never to rise again—
When the law breaks the party wifi fall,
And down will go Kelley, Grant and all!
The Crop.—The Financial Chronicle
ventures to make the following rough
estimate:
1874-5. 1873-4.
Receipts at ports in
cluding this week.. .*3,820.000 3,576,307
Stock at our li Interior
ports to-night* 95,00) 99.500
Overland direct
for year 2ie,000 937,572
Southern con
sumption for
year 140,000 350,000 128,626 366,098
This we may call visi
ble. 3,765,000 4,041,903
Total crop
*These totals Tare inserted before our tele
graphic figures are made up, and may vary
slightly from the actual totals.
How much there maybe in other interior
stocks and on plantations we do not pro
pose to determine; it is sufficient for our
present purpose to take a low estimate;
one which we think no one will consider
too high, and call it 100,000 bales (against
129,478 bales last year), bringing up the
total crop to S.ses.OQQtbales.
This seems to be the general estimate.
Mistakes were made on both sides the
market, but, it is to be hoped, that
they were not made, either too high or
, too low, for any sinister purpose.
Barbarism. — Whenever a case of vio
lence occurs in the South, the extreme
Radical papers of the East or West
point to it as an evidence of Southern
barbarism, and the impish pencil of
Mr. Thos. Nast adds additional hor
rors to the original crime. We have
never been at a loss to more than
match any examples of cruelty in this
section by outrages beyond us. The
latest infamy happened at Wilton,
lowa. A young girl did not behave
very properly and was tarred and
feathered by ten married women and
one spinster. The wretched girl was
half dead when the terrible women got
done with her, and now father is
attempting to get $50,000 damages.
There is, alas ! too much crime every
where. But we should not be held up
to execration, when for every infamy
perpetrated here, four outrages equal
ly atrocious are perpetrated by the
saints of the East or West.
Wine is King. —The Philadelphia
Times says: “The money value of the
wine produced in France last year is
reported at 3,250,000,000 francs, or
§650,000,000. The yield of wine in 1874
was below that of 1865, 1866 and 1869.
But it is beyond that of any other year
since the advent of the present cen
tury. It is far above that of 1873. At
the lowest price of wine, it would rep
resent a gain of about §270,000,000 over
the last crop. The whole quantity of
wine produced in France in 1872 was
1,389,214,750 gallons, and the home
consumption in 1874 amounted to
1,200,000,000 gallons. It was said by a
late writer that France is provokingly
rich. The money she receives for her
wine alone is more than the whole in
come of her German conquerors, and
the entire German indemnity could be
paid by the wine crop of two years
such as that of 1874.”
A Short Sermon. —A special to the
Cincinnati Enquirer runs thus :
Kelley seems to have been rather un
favorably impressed with the negro gov
ernment of thieves set up by him and his
party in the State of South Carolina.
Even the devil is reported to have
been shocked when confronted with his
own offspring, S:N. Pig-iron Kellet is
in the same fix.
The Cause. —Commodore St. John
committed suicide, at 75 years of age,
because he had been superseded in
office by a younger man. He was
worth §2,000,000. Daniel Drew’s only
son was the successor of the Commo-
and the innocent cause of his
death.
Odious Comparisons. —Col. Donn Piatt,
who has eaten more good dinners and
imbibed more good liquor than any
man in America, except Sam Ward,
says a gentleman friend of his remark
ed the other night, upon how the first
cry of his youngest cherub awakened
bis wife from a sound slumber. She
said : “ Nothing is so sensitive as a
mother’s ear for the wailing of her in
fant.” “Except,” he growled, “a wife’s
nose for whiskey.”
We dare say tho Colonel evolved
that anecdote from his own “ true in
wardness.”
A Conundrum.— Many papers say
that the new Attorney General did con
demn the Louisiana policy of Sheri
dan and Williams, and that he is
opposed to a third term for the Presi
dency. The Chicago Tribune and Cin
cinnati Commercial assert to the contra
ry on both points. Where is the truth ?
At any rate, Mr. Plerrepont is an in
effable improvement, even by Demo
cratic testimony, upon Mr. Williams.

ANALYSES
OF THE
LAGER BEER
FROM
E. ANHEUSER & CO.,
IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI!
U. S. NAVAL LABORATORY, I
New York, September, 1874. j
The “ST. LOUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser <fc Cos., at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specific Gravity 1.02 per cent.
Extracted Matter 7.32 "
Carbonic Acid 0.16 “
Alcohol 4.89 “
Ashes 0.24 “
From these figures it will be readily seen
that the “St. Louis Lager Beer” proves a
heavier specific weight than all other beer
uow manufactured in our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid is superior even to
the Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
schweiger llunime and Munchener Lager
Beer; its substance of alcohol comes near
the “Munchener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between the “Zp cherl
Doppelbier” and the “Salvator Beer.”
CONCLUSIONS FROM THE ANALYSIS OF THE
QUALITY:
The quality of this Beer, as shown by our
analysis, is superior by its pureness, as no
extraneous matter could be detected. The
large amount of extract substance (malt be
ing used in extraordinary great quantities,
which, having been roasted, gives the beer
tha*- peculiar flavor of fresh bread) makes
this beer a very nourishing and highly re
commendablo drink for medicinal purposes.
Another good quality of this beer is that it
keeps in good condition under all circum
stances. .W. C. CONRAD,

Shadines are put up in hermetically seal

pleasing, appetizing sauce, palatable to all,
free from oil—so objectionable in sardines—
retaining only the natural richness of the
Shad, and ready for tho table at all times,
for dinner, lunch or evening meal, by
merely opening the box. Many complaints
having been made that irresponsible par
