Vic shall Pay the Taxes &

The Vallandighammers and seymourites
cry out, fierce and long, of the burdens Of
taxation which the war is putting upon
the people of the North, and charge the
whole of it upon the Administration and
the " radicals" when the fact is that
these same peace Democrats are the ones
who are in favor of greatly Increasing the
taxes which the people have to bear. They
want the war stopped at once, and are in
favor of compromising with the rebels. If
this was done, the United States would be
obliged to assume the entire rebel war
debt in all its vast proportions. The
North would then have the most Of this
debt to pay, if assessed pro rata upon pOpu-
lation or wealth. So that these peace
men would throw upon our shoulders not
only our own debt, but that of the rebels.
How would the tax payers like that? How
much would their burden be lightened2
The "radicals" are for making the reb-
els pay a part Of the expenses Of the
war, by the confscation of their property,
thus relieving the loyal North Of the
amount thus obtained. The Democrats
oppose this, and charge that it is unjust to
the South, forgetting entirely, in their zeal
for their Southern friends, that they are
thereby unjust to the North Which party
has the greatest claim upon the support of
the tax-payers2
