Translation from the Demokrat of Aug. 23J
The JOURNAL of yesterday ventures
upon an article against the houses of

are kept in our midst In such imper-

Gals to begin at last taking earnest
steps against the same. As it cannot
be supposed that paper would have
done or said anything in this matter
without the advice of Mayor Baker,
we have reason to hope that this
worthy official has at last conquered
his incomprehensible aversion to the
energetic prosecution of such institu-
tons. He may have come to the con-
clusion that his opinion hitherto, that

Taxing Government Bonds.

We hear much from Democratic
politicians about the injustice of the
exemption of Government Bonds from
taxation. We commendsto them and
to alEour readers the following ex-
tract from the speech of Hon. JOHN
SHERMAN, at Canton, Ohio. last week.
1t is the clearest and most satisfactory
exposition of the law and facts rela-
tive to the taxation of Government
Bonds that has ever been given in so
few words. After reading it no one
can honestly charge the Republican
party with any injustice in the matter.
Senator SHERMAN said: =. g
q It is said that this debt is not sub
ject to taxes. and that this discrimina-
ton is unjust to other tax payers.
Now, this debt. as property orincome,
held by our citizens, is subject to
taxes by the United States. Con-
gress may impose taxes on it, as it
does on other property eor income.
These bonds now pay income tax, but
1T is not subject to State tax. This is
true, but whose fault is it? Did the
Union party make this exemption?
Not at all. It is made by the Consti-
tuition of the United States, for which
our Democratic friends, when it suits
their purposes, profess such profound
Difference. The Supreme Court of
the United States, as early as 1919,
decided that bonds of the United
States are not subject to any tax by or
under State authority. This decision
has been followed in a multitude of
cases since. 1t so happens that
every Judge that has sat on the Su-
preme bench from 1919 to this time
has had this question before him,
and each one concurs in the same
opinion. The principle is obvious
that the power of Congress to bor-
row money is paramount and cannot
be taxed or interfered with without
destroying it. To allow a State to
tax national loans may enable State
to prevent the nation from borrowing
money. All United States bonds
have been exempt from local taxes
since the foundation of the Govern
ment, by the Constitution itself, and
this has been acquiesced in by every
Administration, including the Demo-
cratic. The first loans during the
war contained no reference to this
Constitutional exemption, but in sub
sequent laws, after a recent decision
by Judge fancy, in December, 1862,
that United States bonds could not
be taxed, we inserted a declaration
in one of our loan laws that United
States bonds were not taxable by or
under State authority. This did not
change the law but simply declared
the law. In view of this very ques-
ton and of the certainty that when
the war was over our restored credit
would enable us to borrow money
on more favorable terms, we always
kept in view in issuing bonds the
principle of redeemability at the
pleasure of the United States, on
short time
