Facts to be Noted.

The last Republican Legislature
Of Ohio reduced taxation SO as to
make saving of three millions of
dollars to the people of the State.
The first session Of the XXXIXth
Congress reduced taxation 60 mil.
lions Of dollars aud the second sos
sion, same Congress reduced it Al
millions more. The XLth Congress
reduced federal taxes to the amount
Of 80 millions.
Since the war closed the Republic
can Congress has stricken the taxes
from about ten thousand different
articles of domestic consumptious,
reduced the volume of taxation over
l67 millions of dollars, paid off $50
millions Of the national debt aud re-
duced the annual interest on the
debt more than fifteen millions.
AT the same time Congress has
met the enormous expense Of paying
of aud mastering out an army of
over a million of men, and has anIu.
ally paid over 60 millions in boun ties
aud pensions to the nations soldiers
and their widows aud orphans.
Though the Republican party in
horited bankrupt treasury, a dis
honored credit and gigantic rebel
lion the..Ordiuary expenses of the gov.
erumeut paid in paper are less, in
proportion to population, by many
millions than they were az gold
under the administration of Buchan
an. The army actually cost much
less per regiment in paper than it
cost per regiment IN gold under the
last Democratic administration.
lC the expenses of the navy were
up to the standard of those of the
last Democratic administration they
would reach 40 millions, whereas the
actual appropriation for the navy
are now but Is million.
The Post Office Department during
the last three years of Buchanan's S
administration made drafts on the
Treasury Of over seven millions of
dollars, whereas during the whole
time the Republicans have been in
power the drafts for the postal SER
vice have not averaged two millions

backs, lot us see what the opinion of
their candidate for President is; On
the llth of March, 1868, just four
month prior to his nomination, in a
speech delivered at Albany. N. Y, he
made the following assertion;
"If your claims were all wiped out
tomorrow by an issue of greenbacks, ,
it would not relieve tho fear of pa :

Yet the Democratic party are s.ill
keeping up the howl about paying

Was the War a Failure 2

It will be remembered, (and that
very wildly by tho boys who were
pounding away at the rebels in front
of Atlauta,) that in the summer Of
'0d, the Democratic party assembled
in Convention at Chicago, resolved
that me tcqr ,cas a failurei The
Union army kept on aud on, making
now conquests and gaining new vic.
tories and resolving that the oar ioas
not a failure ! The surrender Of Lee
at Appomatox aud the scattering of
Hoods forces in the southwest, de-
cidod that it was not failure.
This was in "wnr times, and now
in "thosc weak, piping times Of
peace" thiE same. question is sprung
upon the country, by the same party,
indirectly making the same resolve
that they did in ca, Soldiers, you
gave it then the emphatic lie with
your bullets, aud now that you have
laid aside the armor of war, we ask
you to come forward, as peaceful hus
baudmon, and give it the same indis-
putablc negative with your ballots,
bet it not be said that the Union
soldier proved recreant to his past
deeds of hcroism and deprivation
that tho Republic might live, by now
voting to place into the hands of its
enemies the Republic that it may
die. .a

human being Of shc present age shall

it to havc been a failure, or to be

Taxation ofBonds.

Hon. f. L. Spinner, Treasurer of
the United States, in letter to a
prominent citizen of Boston, says of
the taxation of b)uds
Any Government that taxes its
own stock is a repudiatior to the ex-
tent of such taxation. If it permits
States or municipalities to tax il, the
Government would always be at the
mercy Of the States and municipali-
ties for they might at auy time tax
it to such an extent as to virtually
tax it out of existence, and thus, for.
ever after, prevent the Government
from negotiating loans, however much
they may be needed for its own pres
ervation, Once grant to the States
the power to tax Uuited States stocks
secession will have an easier road 10

that could be opsaed by an armed
rebellion,
