WHY?
The Democracy are In favor of taxing
United States bonds, because they are
held almost exclusively by Union men.
Scarcely any bonds of the various loans
were taken by members Of the democratic
party, and their refusal to invest in Gov
eminent stocks was for the purpose of
weakening the Government during its
struggle with rebellion.
The Democracy want the 81 commuta-
ton tax repealed because it falls prin-
clpally upon members of that party. Sol
dlers who served one year are exempt.
and Union men throughout the State
compose the National Guard. No won
der they resolve that the tax is oppress-
i've. 1t catches those who during the
rebellion refused to enter the service of
the Government and the State.
The largest p~each-grower in Delaware
Is Mr.. Anthony Reybold. He has a
peach orchard of thousand acres, of
which six hundred acres have trees Of a
bearing age. His crop last year amounted
to sixty thousand baskets, of which the
average price was one dollar per basket
sixty thousand dollars. Deducting TWEEN
ty-fve per cent for expenses, the net
profits of the year may be set down at
forty-fve thousand dollars. The aggre-
gate profits of his peach culture for the
last, and the three preceding years, may
be safely estimated at the snug sum Of
$4,000.
The Cincinnati Gazette makes the fol
very good hit
Some of the Democratic conventions
are assuming a virtue by resolving that a
national debt Is a national curse. It is
a heavy. curse. So is the Democratic
party that brought the debt upon the ma
tlon, the heaviest of all curses, and the
of all. 1t is the Satan in our repub-
lIcan Eden, introducing notification,
secession, war, pestilenee, famine, devas-
5atlon. debt, taxes, hate, barbarism; in
short Democracy.
