funded bonds are by the law of their issue
to be kept forever free from all taxation for
any purpose, by any power. And Why,
you ask, are these leaders in Congress so
partial to the creditors of the Govern
ment? Two reasor for this-both strong
ones. First, all of them are bondholders
themselves. Second, hree-fourths of the
bonds are in the hands of New England
capitalists, who are nearly all Radicals and
support Congress in their legislating to
subject labor to ocapital-muscle to money

Look at Sherman, worth two millions,
and Bingham his hundreds of thousands,
both relatively penniless when the late
''glorious war" began. How is this ? How
got they this money ? Ask the financial
schemers in Congress and out of it; they
can inform you. Perhaps you can give q
good guess yourselves. 1t is charged, and
not denied, that Bingham in his late trip
to New England was given hundreds Of
thousands, by Yankee capitalists, to be ex-
pended in his reelection to Congress, that
he might f.id in pressing through this ne
farious funding scheme whose character

And here, let me say in conclusion, is a

used to be so plenty and made business so

virtuously indignant-to think of this, and
especially does it amaze him to see men
who ought to know better, vote to sustain
such state of things, at the same moment
they are suffering therefrom, and these
Congressional demagogues laughing in
their sleeves at them for so doing.
Then, farmers, will you read what say,
and hand it to your Radical neigbors, that
they, too, may read, and disprove it if they
can. Ex QUIs Quo.
