His Reasons For It

a correspondent ot the lSuflalo Covrkr receiitly interviowed a tobáceo man, wbo intendod to vote for Greeley, but didn't wunt the fact known. Ho had his reasons for dosiring to keep still : "Well," saiil he, "my business would be íhjuied. You seo this infernal revenue business is half tax and half bluckmail. It's a perfeot despotism. I am entirely in the hands of the assessor. No matter how honestly I. strivo to keep every requireinent of Uio law, the Btatatea are so compheated and bis powers so ampio, that tho assessor can ruin mo when he likes. He can elose up my factory take my booke, and keep mo from doinK lm ness for is ntontha or a year on the i) frivolosa charge, and no matter liow mnocent I may be thero is no redress. Now I have everything íixed. I know just what ones to bribe and how to fcribo them. I pay tho brother of one the nephew of another, two sona of still another high salaries for doinK nothiní at all in m y store; in fací, I should not allow them beliind tho railing. If Grcolcy goos in thoro will ba a complete sweep. It will bc six months or a year before I can gct ni y biuúness to running ngain. I assuro you thut I pay tlio gor eminent overy cent of tax due it, und that overy oent I pay out is blackiuail I da not oomplain. I would losotrobl what I pay out."
