In tie last number of our paper we

licsn rulers were arranging matters SO
that the poor people of the counry-those
who have to depend upon their daily labor
&C. supply themselves with Tie necessaries
of llle-wonld have to pay the vast expen-
SEES of Government and at the same time
pay tribute to sustain a scrip nobility,
more despOtic and tyrannical than can be
found in any of the kingly Governments of
the old world.
Since our last paper, we have seen q
statement of the amount received by the
Government from income taxes-which is
supposed to come from the wealthy-and
lt is less than half a million per year,
about enough to pay One-fith Of one days
expenses of our Government.
Thus the wealthy men of the country
those who have their Thousands Of Govern

ther GoVernmeDt nor State nor mnniciual
taxes pay tie expenses of the nation but
one-tifth IF day out of the wear. while

If the people would open their eyes they

greenback aristocracy. They do not care
for the happiness of the people, they are
deaf to the walls Of the dying and the
grief Of the bereayed, caused by their war
but look only to their own sgraDdizement

! But let these men remember that their
gresn-bued evidences of wealth, being, a!
they are, the offspring of villainous greco
