- Every now and then some ultra Radical pa

the Conservatives all want to bring back ''sla-

lowing from the radical organ in Georgia, the
Atlanta New Era:-'sT The colored man who can
be bought up to vote for the Democratic ticket
ought to be 'remanded back into slavery. 1t

"That child has got q petticoat at

So said a young lady, as a middle
aged woman and her daughter

They were neighbors of the young

ness of her remarks, when she pro-
ceeded to say ~ never saw that
child with apetticoat on until now" "
The family had been known to the
writer for years. The husband and
father was intemperate before the
war, but the family had always
been comfortably provided for.
But now the mother had just been
saying it took so much to pay for
Georges whisky, her children were
bare-footed, and could not go to
school, and they had no money with
which they could buy the necessary
supplies for winter. She had done
what she could herself; sold a little
butter to add to their scanty clo-
thing, but now wanted to sell her
COW because she did not have the
means to keep her, She id not
allude to the circumstance that she
had been unable to procure an under
garment for her child Tor montha
after its birth; it was too mortify.

too plainly a tale Of suffering. This
sad story shows the workings Of

are made suffer for the depraved
appetite of the fathers; and how
many such cases, and even worse
ones, there may be throughout the
length and breadth of the land
Heaven only knows. Bondholderi

TICKET. The Democracy OF
Madison Township have nom
mated a ticket worthy the
earnest support Of every op-
ponent of the Bondholding
Mongrel Radicalism and the

and we'll qualified for the re-
spective Offices. Let every
man go to work and see that
the whole ticket is elected.
1t can easily be done, if
every Democrat will stand
firm, The Democracy of the

and theyscan do just as well

forward to the good work.

secure the Trustees with a
view to having a majority of
the election board at the Oc-
tober and Presidential cleo
tions; but our gallant Demo-
cratic friends there should not
let them secure this advantage
when they can very easily
prevent it. The candidates

Potition Aeainst the INCOME Tar.

~ AA|IA4AAA8e
We are glad to see that the out
rageous unconstitutional, despotic
and inquisitorial income tax isabout
to be publicly protested against,
Let every man and every woman
subject to its infection, move for its
repeal. A glance at the principle
will show its evident unlawfulness.
A man with a family cannot live on
$1,000 per year. His income is
$4,000; and with all his stragles to
economize he spends every dollar Of
it. and finds himself in debt, when
the tax gatherer notifies him to step
up to the Captains Office and set
tie. Now, he does not pay on what
he saves per year, but on what ex-
pends, He is taxed on everything
be buys and is then again taxed on
the footings of his expenditures.
If he laid up his surplus over $1,000
per year. there might appear TO be
a show Of Justice in making him
pay an iucome tax but henot only
expends all his income for ilecessi-
ties, but is left in debit yet he is
called upon to pay another tax, on
his expenditures not on the savings
or increase of his little store, for he
has none. This income tax is un-
constitutional. There are hundreds
of individuals in the United States
who have resisted its collection.
There are several wealthy men in
New York who have done so, and
there has as yet never been q single
suit carried into the courts on the
question. The masses haye meekly
borne this outrage, as they have
others, but it is time 10 protest
against it, Let a million Of names
go to Washington, and demand the
repeal Of the infamous Income tax.
