intelligent man. Wife will not have to
pay income tax on her batter unless it
pays her over 81 600 a yeSr clear of all
expenses, and then sire is not an object
of pity. Grandmother will not be
troubled about her feathers, unless,
they yield her over 81 900 year, and
then she will be more patriotic than
Mr. Thurman,
The tax on incomes over 81, 900 is the
fairest tax on the list, and from this
source we receive $36, ,000000 OF this
tax last year. Ohio paid 81, 549, 1923, by
1868 persons, out of population of
near three millions. The National
Banks pay to the United States as
taxes $10,009,0O0. besides paying an
equal amount to the States We levy
a tax on certain employments, com
monty known as license tax, which
yields US $20,000,000. We levy a
stamp tax. mostly on commercial
paper, and nearly all of which is paid
IN the cities, and this yield us $l7 ,000-
COO. We leaYy tax on railroands and
other corporations, which yields US
So, 900, 900, and other miscellaneous
taxes, such as billiard tables, gold and
silver plate, carriages &c, which
yields us s. 500, 900. These taxes will
yield US, this year, $95, 900, 900, and all
or nearly all, Of them may be repealed
as the extraordinary expenditure,
growing out of the war, diminishes.
THE FUTURE.
Now, fellow citizens, it is for you to
say whether the Democratic party is
likely to improve upon this system of
taxation and finance. Will they de-

the people than we have done The
entire actual expenses of collecting
$263, $40, ,261 of internal revenue, last
year, was $7,712,089, or only 2.92 per
cent.-less than three per cent. This
is less per centage of cost than for
collecting the customs, or for collect

State or county In the Union. Us it

not pursue this matter further. THE
party of this country is
composed of the great mass of the
farmers, the professional mechanical
and laboring men of the Northern
States. They will not have to go to
the Democratic party, constituted as it
is. to learn lessons Of honor, honesty
or enconomy. Ia the future, as in the
past, we will be able, under the pru-

new questions as they arise, and de-
eide them so as to promote the hODor
and welfare of the whole country.

BILL AND JOE.


Come dear old eomrade, you and I
VIII steal an hour from days gone by
The shining days when life was new,
And all was bright with morning dew
The lusty days Of long ago,
When you were Bill and was Joe.
Your name may Haunt a titled trail,
Proud as c0cksre1is rainbow tail;
And mine as brief appendix wear
As Tam O7Shanter3s IuckIess mare;
To-day, old friend, remember still
That am Joe and you are Bill.
You won the great worlds envied prize,
And grand you looked in peoples eyes,
With H o N and L L. D.
In big brave letters, fair to see
Your fist, old fellow or they gol-
HOW are you, BIZ! How are you, JoeE
You've worn the Judges ermined robe;
You've taught your name to half the globe
You've sung mankind a deathless strain;
You've made the dead past live again:
The world may call you what it Wtlls
But you and are Joe and Bill.
The chamng young folks stare and say.
g See those old buffers, bent and gray
They talk like fellows IN their teens!
Mad, poor old boysl That's what It means, y
And shake their heads they little know
The EhrObbing hearts OF Bill and Joe
How Bill 6orgets his hour OF pride,
While Joe sits smiling at his side;
How, joe in spite Of Times disguise,
Finds the old schoolnats in his eyes
Those calm, stern eyes that melt and III
AS Joe looks fondly up to Bill.
All, pensive scholar, what is fame2
htful tongue of Ieaping fame;
a g1ddy whirlW1ndls 8 nckle gust.

Which dust was Bill and which was Joe?
The weary idol takes his stand,
Holds out his bruised and aching hand,
While gaping thousands come and go
How vain it seems, this empty show
TIL all at once his pulses thrill
'Tis poor old JOe's 8 God bless you, Bill y
And shall we breathe in happier spheres
The names that pleased our mortal ears,
In some sweet lull Of harp and song
Z or earth born spirits none too long,
Just whispering of the world below
Where this was BIZ, and that was Joe2
No matter; while our home is here
No sounding name is half so dear;
When fedes at length our lingering day,
Who cares what p0mpOus tombstOnes say ?
Read on the hearts that love US stflI,

him. The men who whipped Moore
were his neighbors, and he recognized

We beg an attentive reading of the
| following extracts from Senator Sher-
mans late speech at Hillsboro, Ohio,
relating to public expenses and taxa
ton. Mr.. Sherman being Chairman of
the Finance Committee in the United
States Senate, the subject is one with
which he is intimately acquainted, aud
the figures be cites are drawn from Of
fetal sources, The facts given are a
complete refutation of thousands of
outrageous falsehoods now being cir
culated by the Democracy in relation
to public expenditure and taxes.
Mr.. Sherman said:
Now L propose, fellow citizens, to
examined little more carefully our an
nual expenditure and our system Of
taxation, for think it the right and
duty of the citizen to watch closely all
questions of taxation and expenditure.
Our financial statements are made up
to the Both of June IN each year, that
being, for convenience, the close Of the
fiscal year, as distinguIshed from the
calendar year. 1 have the statements
foFseEer2i years, but will take the one
ending june Both, 1868: .
The national receipts Of -reyenue
ending June Both, 1868, were as fol-
lows:
CuSlOIlS ksOluj r1OosJJus1lU
Internal Revenue (curreney1.. 193,0O0,OOO
Miscellaneous (currenCy 1--....... 100000
Public lands and direct TAX. 100000
Total =.....s s408 800 900
The miscellaneous item is made up
mostly of premium on the sales of gold
and the proceeds Of captured property.
Now let us see what becomes of this
sum. The great bulk Of it is expended
for causes growing directly out of the
war and every dollar of these items is
properly chargeable to the Democratic
party, which IS responsible for the
war Still they are the obligations of
the nation and must be met.

WASHINGTON, April 20
 Brevet Major General Buchanan, commander of the Fifth Military Dis trict, and Assistant Commissioner for the Freedmen's Bureau for Louisiana, has issued an order forbidding agents of the Bureau from taking any active part in politics, he having received in formation that certain agents were so engaged. It directs that they cease at once to meddle in any manner with politics, or forward their resignations, and that any agent failing to comply with this order, will be summarily dis missed.
 General Grant, this morning, receiv- ed dispatch from General Canby, commanding the Second Military Dis trict, announcing that in twelve dis tricts, registering 5000 votes, partial returns from the poll lists give 26,0OO votes polled. Partial and unofficial re- turns from nine districts give 15,636 for the Constitution and 5,747 against it. The heavy rains have so much imped- ed travel that these returns are mainly from points at or near the telegraph lines.
 Horatio Bridge, paymaster United States navy, and chief of the Bureau of Prisoners and Clothing, has been retir- ed, under the law of Congress retiring officers at sixty-two years.
