Bond Taxation.

The Republican press and politicians
who are running the campaign, so far as
they are concerned, in the interests of the
Bondholders, say:
1--WE have pledged the national faith that
they shall not be thus taxed, and we must
keep our word, no matter what it costs"
These partisans seem to overlook the fact
altogether that the people in this country
have some rights-that there are obliga-
tions due them which it is not safe to re-
pudiate. A faithless Congress- Congress
that acted as though there was no Consti
tuition to restrain and no people to call
them to account-undertook to create
moneyed aristocracy. They so managed
the affairs of the Government that they
we're compelled to sell the Bonds of the
Government in many instances for less
than fifty cents on the dollar. These Bonds
were invested in because they promised an
extraordinary profitable investment, and
nowit is insisted by the Republican politi-
clans that the money thus invested must
go untaxed, and that it is perfectly right
that it is the height of honor and Justice to
take from the hard earnings of the poor
man, the mechanic and laborer, the defici-
ency created by this exemption.
This is Republican honori This Is Re-
publican justice ~
Are the poor, the Industrious and the en-
terprising to be hewers of wood and draw
ers of water for men who have accumulated
capital and have that capital invested IN
Bonds that pay Gold interest?
The poor man fought in the army. Cap
ital skulked. It bought substitutes. The
poor man could not do so, and he was COM
PEELED to march-compelled to leave his
home-his wife and children. Home was
as dear to him as it was to the capitalist
He had no greater stake in the preservation
of the Union than had the capitalist; and
he braved hardships and dangers to save
the Union, while the capitalist remained
safely at home.
Now, capital invested in Bonds-Bonds
bought when the Government had been re-
duced to an extremity to accept any terms
demands payment in Gold and an exemp-
tion from taxation.
They want men who bravely fought
through the War-who endured its hard
ships and sufferings, to contribute from
their labor certain portion that these
Bonds may go untaxed.
They must be taxed-they shall be taxed
they will be taxed-that's the long and
the short of it.
1t will not do for a set of party leaders
who have plundered the people, to tell the
people that honor makes it necessary that
they should stint their families and deprive
themselves of even the common necessaries
of life, that Bondholders may put money
in their purses and fare samptuously every
day.
Honor demands nothing of the sort.
The people would be false to themselves
false to their families-did they continue
to sanction an outrage so grievous upon
themselves.
The Bible-that Book of Books-which
points the way to Eternal Life, says that
he who provideth not for his own house.
hold is worse than an infidel and denieth
the faith.
The poor man who bas the ballot and
shall not vote for the taxation of Bonds, in
these days of heavy taxation, omits to do
that through which some support will re-
suit to his household.

be compensated by fixed salaries not to
be diminished during their term of
Office, thereby making the tri-
bunal as independent and impair
tial rs possible. 1t authorizes this
Court to decide on the constitutionality
of all laws that Congress shall pass.
Can there be any doubt but that the
trainers meant that the majority of that
Court should be competent to decide in
conformity to the universal practice,
that the concurrence of a majority
should be competent and if they lad
intended any exception to this long
established practice in declaring law
of Congress unconstitutional, would
they not have said sol 1t seems to me
there can be but one answer. If then
such was the meaning and intention of
the trainers, Congress, submit, has TO
right to disregard it any more than it has
IN express provision of that instru-
ment.
In the same way we are to arrive at
what the trainers meant when they said
"the President shall be Commander-in-
Chief of the Army and Navy of the
flying or restrictive terms. They meant
to confer on him all powers then prop
erly belonging to such an officer, to be
determined by the practice and usage
of the mother country and public
law. If they had not 30 intended,
they would have made qualifications,
but some members of Congress
say the proposed law does not
abridge his power as Commander-in-
Chief, although the proposed law sub
jects the President to fine of not more
than $4,000 and imprisonment for not
more than two years if he issue any
order or interferes in any way with
General Grant or any of his subordi
mates. Others pretend to justify by the
clause in the Constitution authorizing
Congress to make "rules for the govern
ment and regulation Of the land and
naval forces" Congress gave con-
strHction to this clause soon after the
government was formed in eBacting
what is known as the Articles of fWsr."
The long and established acquiescence
in and practice under these rules
show what authority the trainers meant
to give Congress by this clause. The
Constitution also says each Hsuse of
Congress may establish "rules" for the
regulation of its body. The assump-
tion of power derived from this clause,
to take the command of the army and
navy from the President, is toopalpably
unanswerable to admit of comment. If
Congress can take it in part, it can take
it in whole, and thus usurp all power
and means which the President pos
sesses to execute the laws.
Concluded Tomorrow.
