tJve Warhurton of Washingt >n, a
newly-elected Republhan Insurgent in
the hounf, barged congress today
with letting millions of dollars go to
waste that It might collect in in?
ternal revenue taxes on tobacco. II.?
attacked the pendln* wool tariff re?
vision offered by the Democrats, de?
claring that thelf plea of needing
revenue for the government treasury
was not a serious argument for keep?
ing high duties on woolcr. goods.
'if the government would put a
reasonable tax on tobacco, which may
be considered a lu\ury," said Mr.
Warhurton. "it r^uld let In woolen
goods, cotton v ?ods and sugar with?
out any tariff whatever.
"If this country taxed tobacco as
England or France does, we could
close the dm.r.i of all the customs
houses, except as to the importation
of liquor and tobaccos."
Mr. Warhurton said the Democrats
had been afraid to re-dUCS the duties
on wool any further, for fear of the
consenounces at tho ""\t election if
the 'woolen Industry u prostrated by
removal of protection. lie said tho
Democrats had been compelled to
adopt the Republican doctrine of pro?
tect! ?n and excused themselves on the
ground of needing revenue.
"And In the meantime." said Mr.
Warhurton. "American people arc
paying six times as much tax to the
government on sugar as they are on
five real clears; 30 times as much on
Sjugar as on 25 cent cigars, and 60
times as much on sugar as on 50
cent cigars.
"The rich man who smokej a 35
cent cigar pays one and two-tenths
fonts on each dollar's w i th of tnem; !
-while his gardener, who rmokes five j
cent cigars, pays six cents tax on his
dollar's worth: and his washer w*>man
who buys a dollar's worth of itsjar
pays 36 cents tax on It "

STRANGE TALI: FROM PRIVA?

l>iaappeared.
From The Daily Ite, June I*.
A strunge tale of doings down in
the Privateer section was brought to!
Magistrate Wells this morning when
i warrant was sworn >m by J. l\
dge i that place against several
men f- r maltreatni a' ?>?' once John
Browder, and what miglii possibly
tarn out lo be mure. :.
The tale t<dd Judge Wells p ..$ a mie
thing like this: Browder came to ihi
Privateer section several weeks ago
and secured a 1? on) at the b ?use
Borengo Chevls where he stayed f??r |
aboui two weks. During bis stay in
Privateer Browder becamo very inti-:
mate with the negroes Ol the section 1
and began g?'ing about with them.
On Sunday afternoon, while preach
ing w as going on, Browder si cured a
. . ggy ind induced one of the negro i
alrla ol the place tc go vlth him for
:i ride. On the way he am. the girls'
were met by a white man who. after
they lu d passed, went on and secured
. number of other whit.- men t-. go
v Ith him to attack Browder. It
hi ems thai the men were enraged
that Browder, w ho was trying to pass
U v a white man, should go with the
I egro woman.
? nv'dei ars eaiirrl ' whipped
Chevls' house that night or an> nine i
thereafter. Lrowdcr haa not turned
I up since tha< time and it was thought
1\ y tin cltlsens of the ptatce that he
I had been murdered and buried some?
where out in the woods,
shots were heard aoon after Bi w
der's conductor sot out with him for
i
I is home and no one could locate
^Ihem ">r And out w ho hod ffri d them.
This added to the belief that Browder
bad met with further foul play alter
I the w hipping and be had started for
j home.
The parties supposed to be Implicat
? d in the plot against Browder are
seven in number, but their names
could not be secured this morning. It
J was stated that this same account had
i been told the sheriff several day ago,
but that he had refus-d to take any
'action until the namea of th< parties
I concerned in the affair were given
i I
him by the gentlemen wanting an ln
' I ve3tlgation of the affair.
it was learned that Browder is a
! mixed breed, of the clam known as
' j "redbone" and la from the section of
! Willlamsburg county below Greeley
; j vllle.
j It is impossible to tell yet what d< -
: pendence may be place l on the story.
! but it is supposed to be substantially
correct,
