Tbe sume coííee is worth in tbe interior, in currency, 21 to '23 cens. In other words, every pound of coffea, before it enters into tlic market, is taxed by tlie governmetit from íive lo si iu gold, and this tax is mid: liy (he iiuporter lo the original cost and charged to the country uierchact, and by him collceted fruui t:io cousmner. üut fuy iliis ta.iff, Ui cofTee would bo sdld heru al iiftoen aud sixtcen ceuts a pound. aKJ the cousumer would gave the differenoe, v-ay from ix to seren cents. The Radical uational adiuiniülrati m colleets iu each ycar uiany mülious ol dollars tbrough this iari'1' dovice, anü becausa the tax gathercr does uut aesess ihe ain .uut üpou each individual taxpayer, Ihe people are 1 ardly aware of the burden ihey beur, or, it awaio of it, they attribulu it to other couses. Tbe labüring man who paja the grocery meruhant iti Solma twenty-three eens a pound for c-iffee, does not knotv tbat he is paying ono-fo:irth of ihat puui as a t:ix to the GoverLJinoiit ; but he does koow thut hia coil'ee and his ax aud big plow and bid nünu'nt oost him a gruat deal moro than they nved to beforo the Radicáis obtained power nnd made the laws. The collector of the tariff on any articlo, colleets the eutiro amount ou each importatiou from tho iaiporter, whieh couipels the iiuporter to put u bighef prico ujion the article taxed, and thijn the jobber first, and afterwarda tho retiiiler, must add the turiíT to what it wo ,ld otherwisê oost lliom, and, ulso, a percentage of profil on tho taiiff as viell as the cost proper. So the conumer, in t he end, paya the tariff mpóflëd by the Government, and to the eever.il dealers a protít piircent'ige thereon. Iu fact, it is tbrough the tariff th:;t the gevornmeut inaiiily reaobes tbo labering man, who huS DOtbins ih.-it the direct tax collector cim rtaoh, and who, tbcroforc, in blissful gnorahoe ;f the caaae of hia burdem, imagines that he paya no taxea.
