# working men and men with small capt
tai will honesiv consider radical legislation,
and the measures to which the party in pow
or stand pledged, they will see that its poll.
Ci4s directly tend to the building up of classes
aud the Impeachment of men dependent
upon their labor for support. When demo-
Gratis say that the burden Of our nation.
al debt falls haaVest upon the workingmen,
the radical press will present long array Of
figures and income returns, showing what
bankers, aud merchants, and corporations,
and manufacturers the latter are now re,
leased from taxation-hsve paid into the
treasury. From these statements, 1t would
appear that the laboring men and men with
little capital contribute nothing TO the sup.
port of federal income.
The profits OF all the classes named come
from labor in some form or other. Wealth
is the representative of labor. 1t is the ca.
pacity to purchase the results of labor. As
an illustration, take the income returns OF 4
banker. Say merchants, and lumbermen,
and packers, and grsin.deslers are his prln
cipal depositors. The merchant sells goods
to the laboring man, and makes profit on
them. On this profit he pays an income
tax. The lumbermsn hires laborers TO go
into tue woods and cut ssw.logs, and raft
them and saw them, aud ship them. He
makes profit on their work, and on this
profit he pays en- incometax. The business
Of packers and grain.dealers is profit derived
from the labor OF farmers. Thus it is seen
that income from the classes named is de-
rived from labor.
1t is an indisputabe rule in political econ
omy that the consumer of any article taxed
pays the tax. Laboring men and men Of
small capital compose more than nine.tenths
OF the population of the country The
weather. classes, in proportion to their
| numbers, are greater consumers than others !;
| but what are called the working and middle
classes are those who consume most Ofwhat
Is bought and sold in the United States. On
every article they buy they pay tax. On
all they eat, and drink, and wear, they pay
tax. Every Saturday night. when man
pays his grocery bill, it is at least one-third
heavier from taxation. Taxation, direct and
through our custom laws, doubles the price
OF coats, and pants, and vests, and all arti-
cIes OF clothing for men and women.
1t a farmer during the course of year
has bought eight hundred dollars Of goods
and groceries, he has paid, in making his
purchases, at least three hundred dollars in
taxes: The banker gets his incometax
from his depositors. They get theirs from
the men with whom they deal. Labor pays
it ell.
The crime Of Jacobin financial policies is,
that the people are taxed for the benefit of
classes. Bondbolders have 81, 00O, 100000
on which they receive an income of per
cent in gold They pay no tax. The ma
tional banks are unnecessarily paid by the
government SIS, 900, 900 yearly. Manufac-
turers are exempted from taxation, and the
country is taxed for their benefit $l63,000,.
600 in gold,-the amount derived from Gus.

How the Hon. W. w. 0'Brien Polished off,
Radical RufRan st Nation.

CHARLESTON, Coles, Co., Illinois, Aug. %.
On Saturday last, the Hon. W. W. O'Bri-
en- adore ssed an immense multitude OF the
democracy at Mattoon, in this county.
True to the instincts of the radical persua-
sion, every effort was made by their roughs
to disturb the meeting and bring on another
riot. The speaker himself was insulted by
Col. G. A. Mitchell OF Charleston, who is
sheriff of the county. He obtained an intro
ducton to Mr.. O'Bren, and, after convers-
ing few moments, took occasion TO turn
the conversation on politics, and, in dissent.
ing from some remark of Mr.. O'Brien, call
ed that gentleman I'D liar" and made
pass at him with his fist Mr.. O'Brien
parted the blow, and planted his fist be-
tween Mitchell's eyes, following the ticks up
iR such quick succession that, before any
one could interfere, the Jacobin ruffian was
knocked into a state of utter helplessness
Mr.. O'Brien received but one blow, and that
was given by a bully by the name OF Tom
Jeffreys, whom Mitchell takes with him on
such occasions to help DO his lighting.
notice that some lying radical telegraph
ed to the Chicago Tribune that, II the men
had been left alone little while longer,
there would have been democratic funeral
at Nation. 1t would have been just the re-
verse, Judging from the appearance: OF Mitch,
ellis face which is beautifully illustrated
with cuts, while O'Brien does not show a
scratch will venture to say that this Col
onel Sheriff Mitchell will never go twelve
miles to another meeting to thrash demo,

not be Bill 0'Brien-

DRUNKEN DICK YATES ADVISES JOHN
R. EDEN.
And then Publishes His MeanuOss In a
Letter.

In his Springfield speech, last Saturday,
Mr.. Richard Yates said, among other rhe-
torical balderdash, that the negro Fred Doug
lass was as much above Mr.. Eden, the demo.
cratic candidate for governor of Illinois, AS
the highest point in the heavens is above the
earth.
Since delivering the speech, Mr. Richard
Yates has published card in a Springfield
paper, stating that this language was used
"in the heat of debate, and he therefore de-
sires to repudiate it.
Verv WE'LL Mr.. Richard Yates speech
was carefully written out and revised by Mr..
Richard Yates himself; and then, to further
| make it known that this was the authors
edition, published by authority" it was Civ.
en- to the public in Mr.. Richard Yates own
newspaper.organ Of this city. Upon read.
| ing Mr.. Richard Yates "card,' one natur.
ally turns to the authors edition Of Mr..
| Yates speech to find what the reformed in
ebriate" wrote himself down as saying about
the negro Douglass and Mr. Eden. Here is
the phrase, as corrected and revised by the
| author:
ave may suppose an eRglet to ay thousand
miles q day until he reaches the sun or the high
|
| that high elevation from which Fred Douglas.
would notlook down upon such man as the dem
ocrntic candidate for governor, John r. Eden
Upon language so gross, vulgar, and in.
| decent, from the mouth of a man who albeit
drunken vagabond and whoremonger, is
nevertheless a senator Of the United States,
comment would be superiuous.-C Chicago

or as virtue is of vice. The trouble with thu
country, to-day, is that there are not more
men like Mr.. Eden in control of the people

The universal genius of Shakespeare was
never better attested than by the following
dialogue, which foretod the chief character.
istic OF Mr.. Hiram L. Grant
"Hamlet-IIow long will a man lay i the earth
ere he rot?
"Frst Grarca,ygc.-- Faith if ne be not rotten
before he die, be will last you some eight year or
nine year A tanner will last you nine year.
"HamIct--Why he moro than another
"Ftra Grarsdtggcr--W sir, his hide is so
tanned with his trade that he 'cW keep out tgafer
q great rh'te'
Now read what Shakespeare, in Hamlet,
says Of Horaho:
"Horsto, thou art cen as just man
As e'er my conversation copied withal.
Nay do not think hatter.
Blessed are those
Whose blood and judgment are commingled
That they are not a pipe for fortunes finger
To sound what stop she pleascs Give me thai
man
That is not passions slave, and will wear him
In my hearts core, aye, in my heart of hearts,
As l do thee.
Every democrat in the land re-echoeS the
sentiment of the great dramatlst and al
though he has long since passed from the
earth, the heart Of the American people
throbs with delight, at his words, and ap'
plies the sentiment to Horatio Seymour, the
next president of the United States.
