The work OF Congress.

As the party organs and bar-room loaf
ing stump orators throughout the country
are labOring TO create the impression that
some vast piece of mischief was wrought
by Congress at its late session, we wish to
put on record in brief what it really did.
This Republican Congress reduced the
domestic taxes to the extent of seventy
i've millions of dollars per annum.
1t provided for the gradual reduction of
The great volume OF paper currency, at
certain fixed rate, so that financiers and
business men might know how to calcu-
ate the future and be relieved OF all the
hanger of a commercial crash, on account
IF the currency.
It provided for the protection Of the
revenue from foreign imports, by more
stringent enactments to guard against
systematic under-valuation, thro' which
The Treasury had been defrauded OF count
less millions of dollars.
1t secured the equality before the law
to all citizens Of the United States, of
every race and color, under the protection
of the national government, and made
every native born adult citizen, so as to
oe able to claim national protection.
1t secures a homestead to all settlers on
the public lands in the Gulf States under
the national laws, and so provided for the
poor whites and blacks of the south fu-
ture of their own, better than any they
could have otherwise hoped for.
1t reduced the number of Supreme
Court judges by radical process.
1t secured the election of United States
Senators against the future action of fac
tious minorities.
1t admitted the reconstructed State Of
Tennessee under the circumstances which
point out the way in which other recon-
structed States may return to their old
places in Congress.
1t restricted the standing army to not
more than fifty thousand men, against
the urgent appeals of. all who wanted
force of one hundred and seventy-seven
thousand
1t gave to each soldier who had not
previously received full bounty, an addi-
tional bounty of 500, which will take
very large sum from the treasury.
1t gave to each widow who has chill
dren under Is years of age, 81 per month
Tor each child additional pension.
Such are few of the doings of q Re-
publican Congress. If to these be added
the fact that the same party in a few
years changed an irresponsible banking
system under which every noteholder
was liable to loss to one which secures =

of members from 500 to $1,000, thus rob-
