The Rich Mans Country.

The Dubuque Herald has well said that
this has got 10 be the rich mans country,
where legislation is wholly in his favor and
against the poor man, Never was greater
piece Of rascalty committed than has been
done in the case of the bonds which are now
in the market. They are exempt from tax
alton, and pay g"od interest every six
months; consequently we see a great de-
mand for them by all who are able to invest
all their funds in them. Men are IN some
cases even selling their real estate to put
their money in them, and thus secure not
only good revenue but avoid all taxation
The poor man is therefore taxed double.
He has not only to pay his own taxes, but
those which the ri ch man shoull pay. He
has not only to support himself, bat the gov
ernment and the rich man as we'll.
When the tax gatherer comes rouHI, as he
does often and stays long-one of the bitter
fruits of Republican adminstration-the rich
m:n returns his property as SO much in
bonds, the tax gatherer writes down tex
empt," and passes on to the poor man, who
has no bonds and so must pay enough for
both.
We do not believe this will last long. 1t
is too manifestly outrageously unjust to be
continued. The rich man is continually cry
ing for protection and the abolition govern
ment is continually giving it to him, while
more sweat is oxtorred from the poor man.
1t will be the first business OF the Democratic
party to set these things right. That party
has always been pre-eminently the poor
mans party, aud to thai party must he look
for the redress of his wrongs.

e. The New York Tribune, IN speaking
Of Mason & Hamlin's CABINET ORGANS.
says: "Tbese instruments have been blown
by the wind Of genuine success from Boston
20 San Francisco. That Messrs Mason &
Hsmlin have succeeded in making superior
small Instrumentation little bandbox-hke
things, to those which, though portable, and
not larger than piano, can make themselves
felt in church-is the universal opinion OF
the musical profession. They agree that no
such mechanical works of the kind can be
found in equal perfection in Europe. The
tone is pure and full, and with an immense
body for so small provocative mechanical
force. They stand rough travelling, bad
usage, and will live in climates which will
kill American missionaries"

"No VACANCIES" "A large number of dis
abled soldiers have applied for offices in the
Treasury Department at Washington, but
the Secretary announces that 'no vacancies
exist" No, but it would be very easy, and
at the same time very just and humane, for
the Secretary to make any number of yacan-
cies. He ought to remove hundreds of those
cowardly stay at-home patriots who have
been such fierce war hawks while "serving
the country" in office.

offices, and sent here swarms of officers to
harness our people, and eat out their sub
