WHERE WAR TOUCHES ALL
Those people who had an idea that
war would be a good thing for the
country and put money into circula
tion will soon have an opportunity to
see how the thing works in actual
practice. It is true that a vast ma
jority of the people of this county
will not come in touch with actual
hostilities, and so for as the daily
routine of their lives goes,would never
know that war is in progress. But
we have all heard of the “sinews of
war,” and we will all have a hand in
providing them. War is an expestve
luxury. It costs money to carry on
war. Vast numbers of men have to
be equipped vith arms, have to be
supported and have to be paid for
their services. Ships have to be
bought, and many others hired: rail
roads have to be paid for transport
ing men and upimunit'on and guns.
Coat fortifications have to be equipped
and our navy kept an a war basis at
vast expese Millions have to be ex
pended by the government So far
so good. Where so much money is
paid out and put in ciruculation, there
is the chance that some of it will come
our way.
Bat there is the other side of it.
Where is the government to get all
this money to pay out? Only from its
citizenj, We have to pay it in before
the government can pay it out That
is a view of the case which many peo
pie forget in rejoicing over the gov
ernment's expenditure of money. In
the last analysis the people are the
government, and from the people
must come the mouey the govern
ment spends. It is well known that)
for a long time the government’s in- j
come has not eqnlalled its expenses,
and we have been carrying a deficit ;
in our revemus With the tremend
ons increase of expenses caused by
this war in an increase of revenue is
imperative, and hence it is that con
gress has now before it a special reve
nue bill to raise money for the extra
ordinary expenses of war,
The leading provisions of the bill
are the increase of the laxes on beer,
tobacco mi 1 cigars: the levy of stamp
taxes; provision for an issue of SSOO,
000,000 in coin bonds running for not
less than ten nor morn than twenty
years, bearing interest at IS per cent,
and provision !or not more than SIOO,
000,000 of certificates of indebtedness
also bearing interest at not exceed
ing three per cent.
ft is impossible to estimate defini
tely what this bill will raise, but it is
believed that it will produce some
thing more than one hundred millions
front the increased revenue taxes on
tobacco, beer, and the stamp taxes.
These stamp taxes take effect on
the first of Juno and leave the inter
vening period of five weeks for the
preparation of the necessary stamps
and lnarhinery by the Internal Rev
enue 15iire.ni. The increase in the
license tax upon dealers in tobacco
and cigars takes effect on July 1, at
the beginning of the new fiscal year,
and the portions ot the bill increasing
the taxes or. beer and tobacco take
effect noon the passage of the law.
It i provided that the increase on
beer and tobacco shall be levied upon
retailers as will as wholesale stocks
in existence at the time when the act
shall take effect, and a force of rev
enue agents is authorized for the pur
pose ot the discovery of such stocks.
The stamps authorised under the
stamp tax may bo sold by any post
master where the faiiities for procur
ing them from the internal revenue
officers are not sufficient - With the
exception of licenses and tonnage
dues,"both easily collected, all the
taxes proposed are stamp taxes, the
eaisestto collect and the most readily
diffused through the cnthe commun
ity-
Express packages, steamship tickets,
bank checks for more than §2O, anil a
long list of financial instruments and
legal documents will pay stamp taxes
from two cents up to substantial am
ounts, and his method ot taxation
i lias for the government the great ad
vantage of being eaisly and cheap ap
plied.
Failure to affix the proper stamps
] invalidates the instruments upon
which the stamp is required, but the
securities thus affected may be given
validity by voluntaty pfiym lit of the
price of the proper stamps, with a
penalty ol ten doilurs. With the S see
tion providing for a tax upon the is
sue and transfer of the securities it is
intended to cover sales upon margins
by prov.dmg for a stamp upon any
memorandum or evidencs of the
transfer for sale, entitling the holdir
! to the benefit of the house stock or to
| secure tiie future payment of the
I money or the future transfer of stock.
United States, Hate, county aud mu
nicipal securities are exempted from
tiie ;t imp taxes, and the same rule is
applied to the stocks and bonds issued
by co-operative building and loan as
sociations. JThe tax upon bank checks
or drafts is framed to meet the objec
uons of some members of the comtmt-
tee by miking it applicable to checks
for sums exceeding S"2O only. Small
checks employed in retail transactions
will not be subjected to taxation,
the tax upon telegraphic dispacthes is
not applied to press news dispatches,
but applies to the inquiries and in
quiries and instructions which are
constantly exchanged between editors
and their correspondents.
Express packages are also taxed at
the rate cf 1 cent where the charge is
not over 25 cents, 2 cents where the
charge is not over }sl and 5 cents
where the charge is greater. The
stamp taxes upon legal instruments
like mortgages and personal bonds
run to large amounts The smallest
of such taxes is sl, and a mortgage
for the moderate sum of $5,000 u
subjected to a tax of $5. The rate
runs about SI per thousand upon
higher amounts. The manufacturer
of patent medicines are authorized to
prepare dies f>r their own stamps
which shall be in the custody of the
c munissioner of internal revenue, and
such articles intended for export are
exempted from stamp taxes under
proper safeguards.
There will no serious difficulty in
getting through this tax and portion
of the revenue bill, but there is likely
to be considc-racle objections and de
bate over the portion providing for
the issuance of certificates of indebt
edness 'o the amount one hundred
millions by the secretary of the treas
ury, bearing three per cent interest,
and the issue of fi7e hundred millions
of three per cent coin bon s. The!
talk of gold bonds was dropped and J
coin bonds substituted, but the silver
men and Democrats prefer to coin
the silver in the treasury, to issue
greenbacks, or to impose an income
tax—-either or all of these to issuing
half a billion of bands. Thero wil
likely be considerable debate in the
senate over this measure though it
will probably be raihoaded through
the house at once. It may be found
necessary to expediate things by pass
mg the tax portion of the bill and
putting the bond issue in a separate
bill.—Augusta Chronicle.

The discovery of Mi-Elree’s Wine
of Cardui has brought a revolution in
the t reatment of the common coin
plaints, from which all women some
times suffer, called “Female Diseases'
The belief that these troubles couid
only be treated after examinations by
physicians, and frequently oniy cured
by the surgean’s knife, was once wide
spread. The dread ot such treatment,
and exposure kept thousands of mod
est women silent about their suffering,
They preferred the pains and the
torture to going to a physician about
such matters.

Grass Lake, Mich., Dec. 28,1894.
I have been troubled with heart disease 15
years cr more. Most of the time I was so
bad it was not safe for me to go out alone,
as dizzy spells would cause falling. I had
severe palpitation, shortness of breath and
sudden pains thatrendered me helpless. All
physicians did for me was to advise keeping
quiet. In August last I commenced taking
Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure,
and before I had finished the first bottle I
found the medicine was a God-scnd. I have
now used four bottles in all and am feelins
entirely well. lam 73 years of age and have
held a grudge against patent medicines all
my life, but I will not allow this to prevent
giving my testimony to the great cure your
valuable remedy has wrought in me. Ido
this to show my appreciation of Dr. Miles’
New Heart Cure. SAMUEL O. STONE.

THE HORSE’S SHOES.
HOW OFTEN THEY NEED REPLEN
ISHING AND WHAT THEY COST.
Resetting Old Shoes Costs About Kl*lf u
Mach M New Ones- Tho Use of Robber
Psili-Csrrisge Horsin' Shoes Cost Mere
Than Thoee of Work Morses.
A work horse’s shoes cost a good deal
more than its driver's shoes do. Truck
hursts, delivery wagon horses and tho
great number of horses used for vsrioa."
working purposes, including many
horses driven to hacks and cthtr putlio
carriages, are ordinarily shod once
month at a cost of $2.30, so that tho
work horse's shoes are likely to cort
S3O n year anyway, and there m*y be
some additional expense for sharpaalng
and resetting.
Sharpening costs sl. GO. \ThsMter this
is necessary or upl dspends, of coat**,
primarily upotl thg weathw. It may de
pend i&nefa upon the time of day tho
horse is driven. There may be season*
in which sharpening is not necessary.
Not all drivers get tho shoes of their
horses sharpened even when ths going
fs slippery. Such geffig may com® about
suddenly aDd unexpectedly, and it may
be of brief duration, and then there are
drivers who under ordinary circum
stances take the risk of the greater cost
of a broken shaft or an injured animal
to save the cost of sharpening. Of work
horses ip general probably something
more than half have their shoes sharp
ened when the going is slippery. There
are some, how-over, whose shoes are al
most all kept sharpened at such times,
these being the horses that work at
night and in the early morning before
the sun has softened the ice or melted
it away. These iucludo burses driven
to milk wagons, bakers' horses, and so
on, bow often tho shoes aro sharpened
depending on the going.
Usually when a horse is shod he is
shod all around. Sometimes there is oc
casion to put on a single shoe, as when
a horse throws a shoo. Tho cost of a
single new shoe is one-fourth the cost
of a sot—in the case of a work horse 63
cents. Tho charge for resetting the old
shoe would ho 35 cents. Resetting in
general, from one shoe up, costs about
otje-haif, or a little more than half, as
much as fitting a horse with Haw shoes.
In putting on a single shoe an old shoe
would commonly be used, to make it
match those remaining on. If it is not
too much worn, the shoo the horse has
cast would be- put back if the driver
picked it up. It is suitable and it fits.
If it has not been picked up, then a
slipper is put on from tho pile in the
shop, slipper being tho shop name of
the worn suoe taken off and thrown
aside when a horse is resLod.
Horses bavo peculiarities in wearing
their shoes, just as men do. Some wear
them off more at the toe, some more at
the heel, and some wear them more on
one side than on the other. Horses’
shoes wear off more quickly on granite
pavements than they do on asphalt, and
the greatly increased use of asphalt
pavement has led to a correspondingly
increased use cf robber pads in haer.m'
shoes to givo the licrses a better foot
hold. Rubber pads, as well ns the shoes,
are fitted to the horse’s foot and mailed
on with the shoe. Shoes with rubber
pads of this kind for work horses, cost,
put on, $4 or $5 a set. They are likely
to wear longer than shoes without pads,
but they are commonly replaced or re
set at tho end of a mouth. The necessi
ty for reshoeiug the horse at intervals
of about a mouth is. due in a considera
ble degree to the natural growth of the
horse’s hoofs, which require trimming
or other attention about ouce in so
often. In the case of iron shoes, at the
end of a mouth, when they ore taken
off, they are likely to bo too much worn
to go another mouth, and new shoes are
put on. In the ease of rubber pad shoes,
if they are not too muoh worn, they are
reset, and this may be done in porbaps
40 or 60 per cent of the cases. Some
times tho old shoes may be put back
with now pads, sometimes the old pads
with ii6w sbos*. It depends a good deal
on the manner in which tho horse wears
them. So that while the first cost of
rubber pad slices is cousiderably greater
than that of plain shoes the net cost is
not so much greater.
The price charged 3br shooing a pri
vate coach or carriage horse is $1 more
than for shoeing a work horse, or $8. 50,
and rubber pad shoes, such as thus® de
scribed, for carriage horses cost $6 or $0
a set. Such horses are reshed ordinarily,
like most berets, once a mouth, and m
a rule their shoes are also reset in the
middle of the nioath. And the shoes of
private carriage horses ere more oom-
Bioniy kept eharpensd in slippery weath
er theei are those of work horses. Wom
en ore more likely to fcs disturbed by
the (Upping c A a horse than a man
would be, and the carriags horses are
usually more valuable than work
hors**, and less risk Ot injury is taken.
In some eases it might 'll® that the
charge for shoeing a horso, either a ear
ring® horao cr a work horse, would ba
according to the time required rather
than by the Job, as. for example, in
tbe ease of a lam® horse, in shoeing
which more than the usual time would
be needed. Shoos are made and fitted
to *3eft any requirement, and the cost
might be, according to the amount of
work and time expended, from $1 to $6
fo# a (ingle shoe.—New York gun.

A Few Requisites.
The hired girl out cf a job cast bet
eagle eye over the want notices of the
newspaper. “Wanted, Wantod, Want

straight down the column, shaking her
head at intervals as if disappointed in
her searoh. Finally her faoe lightened
as she saw a leaded notice in another
column of more pretensions than its fel
lows.
She turned to it and read eagerly.
Then she threw the paper from her.
“ Wbkt’a the matter?” asked the girl
with her.
"Seed that." And ebe gathered up
the sheet and baude'd it over to the ott

“Well?” said the reader.
“It’s not well at all,” responded the

Flue sponges are used by physicians
in surgical operations and are sometimes
very expensive. Our finest sponges come
from tbe Mediterranean sea and the
Red sea. They aro obtained by divers,
wbo search for them under rocks and
oliffs, and who removo them carefully
with a knife, that they may not be in
jured. The Turks, who carry on tho
trade, have between 4,000 and 5,000
men employed in collecting sponges.
Tho value of the sponges annually col
lected is estimated at SOO,OOO. Coarse
varieties are found in tho Gulf cf Alexi

scraped off tho rocks with forked instru

remarkable cures of asthma. Cases
that have been considered beyond

this remedy. We give two examples
of such cures out of the many on
record: —
“My mother htis been a gre.?t sufferer
from asthma for the past ten years, and her
recovery is almost without a parallel. On
account of her advanced age—over seventy—
we had but little hopes of ever seeing her
well again ; but we are sincerely grateful to
inform you that she has been entirely cured
by the use of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.”

“I was a sufferer for a long time from
asthma, vainly endeavoring to procure relief

much benefit that I continued the use of the
remedy until entirely cured.”

jptSSlfSji to think “ fe- 5
ma le diseases ” a
if&'ty oould onl ybe B
i treated after “to- Ej
/ 4 > ca 1 examtna
jjjfl \V tions” by physi-
Hf A clans. Dread of
WgxZ! such treatment
) kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their
suffering. Thein
troduction of
Wine of Cardin has now demon
strated that nine-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician’s attention
at all. The simple, pure
taken in the privacy cf a woman’s ra
own home insures quick relief and fcy
speedy cure. Women need not H
hesitate now. V/ine of Cardui re- gj
quires no humiliating examina- H
tions for its adoption. It cures any gl
disease that comes under the head
of “female troubles”—disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
“whites,” change cf life. It makes
women beautiful by making them ;
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. SI.OO at
