One Thousand Dollars peg Hin


This is just about the amount of taxa
tion that the pcop!e'..of this country are
now called upon to pay for the support of
the ruinous policy of the Rump Congress.
Part of this money goes to pay enormous
interests on money borrowed during the
war, and one half of Which vas given to
contractors and other thieves.
Part Of this money goes to the payment
of thousands Of useless officials in every
city and town in the country, who are living
like leeches On the blood of the toiing Ia
borer Of the country.
Part of this money goes to maintain a
standing army m the South where it is not
needed. Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe, who
has lived i'll Florida, says ttat "the South
ern people are no more inclined to resist
the laws or foster the stilit of rebellion
than Vermont is. They desire peace and
the restoration Of the Union,
Part of the money goes to feed, clothe
and educate thousands of lazy negroes in
the South whose only occupation is that
of voting the Radical ticket.

s&y BY "life of the nation" Bingham
means Negro Suffrage. Don't John A..
take funny view of things. His theory"
is about as sensible as that of he ''jmmor-
tai j. NJ" Bingham has a crazy notion
that every time he runs for Congress there
is great war on hand, and that his elec-
tion is vitally necessary to 'the life Of the
nation" John A. says this is the 'sev-
enth year." lie is good on odd numbers.
In 1870 he will want to run again, and that
will be the ninth year of the great war, in
1872 it will be the elerenh year; in 1874 il
will be the thirteenth year, and so pm until
it reaches the ffheth year of the war for
the life of the nation" Bingham thinks
the "great war will last as long as he
wants to run for Congress, and then, we
suppose, we will have peace, unless some
other fanatic, running for Congress, may
imagine that the people think there is war
because he is running. 1t beats every
thing. The whig papers used to have
sport about localities voting for jackson al.

The Republican on Equal Tax

Doestieks is not dead. He is the author
Of the leading editorial in..the last RepuLIi-
can 1t would be silly to answer by argu-
ment such foolish article, as the article
could only influence fool aud such a one
could not understan an argument against
it.
Knox wouldn't write such an article. 1t
was written by Lewton. Lswton has bet
ter sense, but Lewton thinks such trash
viii hold the Republicans for Bingham.
In fact the Repabh bean editorial appears
to be written up by the firm of Lewton &
Sheppard-the Bankrupt Comt-ahl the
attorney who docs the practice before the
Judge, as Sheppard has ap article in the
same paper slandpring Mr. Esteh.
LeNton says, in his article, that Estep
wants TO tax the hoe, the shovel, the nlow.
the ak. and nitchforks the same as ,oI,sEev
by. the gallon, we suppose. Well. to an
pose Mr.. Estep would be humane enough
to desire the above articles to be exempt
except it would be the pitcht0rlt-it should
be'taxed by all means.
But the Bankrupt Court have an object
in view. They have the matter arranged
nicely. They hold Conrt in their own of,
fee, and one member of the firm is .Judge
and the other Attorney. Of conrse, the
Attorney meyer loses case. Why SHOULD
he2
They:favor the Radical policy because
they know that it will ruin the business Of
the country, mud make Bankaupts and then
they can have the Bankrupt act extended,
and have nice time holding Court and
making m6nCy.

Desperate.

The Radicals here are badly scared, and
they have good reason td be so. Bingham
will be beaten worse this time than he was
ia 1852. They are trying to divert the a.
santion Of the business men of the county,
The farmers and laboring men, from their
real interest, to slitterinp generalities. They
resort to all kinds of yilifeation and abuse
I won't win.
They are very kind to the Drafted men,
lust now, and the Republican repeats
'Cory's" silly twaaale, this week, about
he Draft and Mr. Estep, which we exposed
and replied to last week. Cory is Bing-
.hdm's 'poodle-dog" and is also sub-edi,or

A WagOM Train of 1929 Miles.
Hon. s. s. Marshall, of Illinois, in =
speech in Congress the other day said, in
speaking OF our national debt and the Re-
publican policy Of taxation:
You have taxed the people as no people
have ever been taxed before in any age or
in any country. In the three years oi peace
since the close OF the war you have raised
from their hau earnings, by the drag nets
you have spread out all over the land,
81, 500, O00,0O0, q sum SO enormous that
the mind can scarcely grasp or comprehend
it. Ii it were possible to raise this sum in
silver dollars they would load 46,875 wag-
ons, with 1000 pounds to each wagon and
if they were to be moved, allowing 20 rods
for each wagon and team, it would form
train stretching out two thousand nine hun
dred and twenty-nine miles. You have
raised from the people in one sirgle year
over five hundred and sixty million dollars
And yet, with all this enormous taxation,
the public debt is at this moment rapidly
increasing, as have already shown. It
has not required exceeding $l40,000, 900 at
any time to pay the interest on the public
debt. arraign you before the world as
guilty Of high crimes against the people.
| demand Of you to plead and tell us what
you have done with this money. You are
now upon trial at the bar OF an indignant
and greatly wronged People. 1t is imposs-
ible that this enormous sum could have
been expended 10 legitimate and honest

Esfep and Equal Taxation.

Mr.. Lewton, in his able editorial in the
Republican of August IA is terribly exercis-
ed about the doctrine of equal taxation.
.'Estep would tax the hoe, the shovel the
plow, the AK Oil dearl ''This ia the
democracy of barbarism. " We thought
you we're stickler for equal rights You
are in favor of negro equality, why not for
equal taxation? You have great love for the
poor, especially the poor Bond holder lie
says. by the present system OF taxation no
farmer mechanic or laboring man pays one
cent of taxes for National purposes unless
his income exceeds $1,000 year.' Is there
man in the county fool enough to believe
this? Don't tho laboring man pay taxes2
Don't the consumer PAY THE WHOLE
DiLI2
Who pays the tax on tobacco? Why the
manufacturer, says Mr.. I.ewion. But don't
he add the tax to the price, aud don't the
consumer pay it OIL in the end? So with
everything else. Is there family in Cadiz
that spends $500 per year that don't pay
eat least $500 of burden by way of direct
and indirect taxes? Is this fair? Then
look at the heavy tax on tea, coffee, sugar,
and all the other neccssaries of life which
ahe poor IRE compelled to cons ume. Why
don you make your tax light on the ncces-
earies OF life, and heavy on the luxuries,
under tho tariff system. Why do you tax
one of Manners ''Stogas,p worth one cent,
as much as Havana worth % cents? Is
ihis equality?
On eSf you Soy much Of this Wh5 does riot rot
consumer paysit. We admit it don't do
the government much good, because, al
though collected. the great bulk Of it is
stolen, or squandered in the cost Of col
lection.
VIII you please tell MS how much the
National Debt is lessened each year by the
sacome tax in this district? How much is
it over and above the expenses Of collection.
I'VE have pnt the taxes on the wealthy,
thosc that have tayge Incomes; but this
District don't pay much Income tax. Why2
Because YOU have made business 80 dull
thatthe people cannot make any income
Ard you 6rag OF that, do you2 You have
sDred th i'm from income tax. On the same
principle you lessen the tax on sheep

Your ruinous system has cost the farm
ers OF this district enough money IN the
last four years, to have pad their just share
Of National taxation under economical gov
ernmeDt, for FORTY YEARS
Go on with your policy" contract the
Currency, pay the Bonds In Gold, and ex
cmpt their holders from all taxation, then
you may brag largely that you have still
more lesseDed their income tax. Oh, how
kindl What generous policyl Have not
the farmers reason to be proud of your leg
isIation7 What happy times they are hay-

Nor many years ago. it was the stereo-

that South Carolina had not a republican
form of government, because her Presiden-

and not by the people. Now these same
Radical gentlemen propose that the Presi-
dental electors in the seven reconstruct
ed" Southern States should be chosen in
the same way, by their bogus Legislatures,
in order to make their electoral votes sure
