indebted to the Abolition party. grinding
taxation Is not the smallest. It has Great
Cd an enormous national debt. which ia
daily increaAing. and which must be- paid
by the laboring classes. The New York
Tribune agues the ability Of the country
to pay oH the debt from the following
cheerful premises
I'VE raised less than two hundred millions
BY taxation during the hscAl year jnst clOaed i;
we shall raise nearly or quite four hundred
millions in that way dGring the year just open
ed-psying about half our expenses ~ we go, ,
instead Of less than quarter. We shall pay
in taxes moro than one million dollars per day
during the current 6scal year"
A bright prospect for the laboring

rate Of one million dollars day; and for

An ALARMING PICTURE. Our National
debt alone is estimated at four thousand
millions Of dollars. This, being more
than one.fifth Of the property Of the peo-
pie Of all the States, is in any view sniff
cientIy startling and when we take int"
view the peculiar relation to it Of q por-
tion Of the States, the prospect is ahso
lutely overwhelming. AS to the interest
of the debt, this, taken in connexiOa with
the current expenses Of the Government
will require an annual income Of more
than four hundred millions for national
purposes alone. The prospect OF national
taxation. therefore, is a terrible one and
We must add to the catalogue Of burdens.
the interest on State and municipal debts,
as we'll as the fact that. a> the law now
stands. the vast amount Of permanent ma
tional securities is exempt from taxation.
The inevitable depressing effect of oil
these burdens upon the laboring poor. in
time to come. is dreadful to contemplate.
The laboring men will have to pay every
cent Of it, and the longer the war lasts
the greater will be their taxes. A vote
for Lincoln is a vote for increased taxa.
