The Great Local Question.

The Great Local Question.
1t is this Can there. be raised in |
this county $4,000 to supply the de- |
felt of about that amount which is
not available OF the original subscrip-
ton of$100, 900 in this County to the
st. Louis L Cedar Rapids R. R? This
deficit has arisen by reason of remov>
ais Of different parties from the coun-
ty and State, and the failure Of 9th.
ers, since the subscription was taken
now some two and a half years ago.
The deficit is not an unexpected one,
or rather it is not matter ofwonder;
include tho collection Of 81 per cent.
and thesubscription may be said to be
as successful collection, all things
considered, as is generally made in.
such cases. This deficit does not in
clude the cases now in litigation, but
is only the really worthless subscrip.
tions.
The Railroad Committee appointed
some time ago have now completed
2 their labors 80 far as raising the ready
money needed for tho next two
months in the grading, and tho work
is to be vigorously pushed, common
cling with Monday next. While some
of the old subscribers have removed
from tho State and others have failed
in business, many now men have come
among us, and othors are able to sub
scribe more than they were two or
three years ago.
We must grade, tie, bridge, and
drain the road in tho south half Of
this county by about November LIST,
and in order to do this the deficit
above named mustbe made good with
new subscriptions, and the compile
ton of the road to this city in SIX
months with all its benefcent results
is no longer dobatcablc question.

II Is a favorite theory Of the Radical

1t is favorite theory of the Radical
party that the poor man pays no taxes;
that because he does not, at annual pc
riods, draw a check for so much money
due the government for income tax, or
tax on real estate, that therefore he is
free from all burdens of this character.
This view is proclaimed by Radical ora
tors from the stump, and repeated in
the journals of that party. But there
was never a more erroneous position as
sumed or stated. In point of fact, the
poor laboring man pays as much, if not
more tax, in proportion, than the rich
man. To be sure the tax is not direct,
but is none the less certain and burden
some. As taxation is imposed upon
land and money, the price of all kinds
of goods advances. The laborer buy
ing them at the retail store has TO pay
not only the original value ofthe thing,
but all tax on it that has been paid at
each stage by the manufacturer or inn
porter, the wholesale dealer and the re-
tail storekeeper. The tax is shifted
from one to the other, with additions at
each stage, until litcomes to.the customer
the one who buys thegoods to use and
not to sell. And here the burden rests;
he must pay the whole accumulated a
mount of taxation, aud get none of it
back. As long as the goods are being
sold and tranferred from hand to hand,
so long the tax is kept shifting from
one man to another; but when the ar
ticle ceases to be turned over and be-
comes applied to the use for which it
was designed, then the tax can be no
further shifted. The man who wears
the shirt pays the tax ofthe storekeep-
er who sold it, of the wholesale dealer
who supplied it to the store, and of ev-
cry man who has handled it, back to
the cotton-tactory millionaire in whose
mills it was woven. As Jefferson says:
Taxation is like ball rolling down
stairs it bumps Oh each step, but it fl
nally rests on the lowest" That is the
working man, and he therefore is the
most deeply interested in having an
honest, economical government in or
der that taxation may not enhance the
volume of all he use sand supplies to his
family. The Radicals are wastefuI,
eAtravagant, corrupt They have in
creased debt and taxation, and will con-
tinue to do so. Is such party enti-
tied to the support of workingmen >

TO THE FRONT

''lt is agood thing to bea Democrat"
We were never prouder of the name.
We are especially proud to belong to
the Democracy OF Bedford county. 1t
is an iron Democracy. Itean neither be
bent nor broken. Misrepresentation
and falsehood cannot mislead it. Bri-
berry and corruption fall harmless at its
feet Even John Cessna with all his
boasted power, and with his unlimited
corruption. fund, ran only few paltry
votes ahead of his ticket.
To this gallant Democracy we say
once more to the front
The battle We fight is for principle,
for the liberty and free institutions of
our fathers. Our enemies are the enc
mics of this liberty and of these insti-
tutions. Let US fight them manfully
on the Sd Of November as we did on the
18th of October.

ORGANS. We have ourselves both seen

chased by the Congregational Society
of this place. 1t is very superior in
strument in the mechanical perfection
ofits various parts, and in the resem-
blance of its tones to those of pipe or

heard. 1t contains ) sets of reeds and

qualities of tone can be used when de-
sired, and when the whole are combin-
ed, richer, grander volume of tone is
produced than can be by other instru-
ments not thus voiced. 1t is just what
we should say that this Organ was Sc
lected by the committee, after a careful
study and trail of the most celebrated
reed organs, and is believed by them
to possess more of the requisite quaili-
ties to make UP a good Instrument, than
any other kind of organ manufactured.

The Radicals are much worried over
Mr.. Delmar's figures, showing how
Radical extravaganza is fast leading
Us TO bankruptcy, and the New York
Tribune and Times reply to his expo
sition with abuse-that only weapon
now left them. Mr.. Delmar's figures
are drawn from the Treasury books.
viii these papers show us where the
figures are wrong? If the facts are a.
gainst them, they cry out so much the
worse for the facts. The country can
not longer be deceived. There is the
patent, indisputable fact that the pub
lie debt is swelling month by month.
The debt is growing, and at the same
time the sources of public revenue are
drying up. The South is not restored,
politically or financially. That broad
land is to be used as an Outrage mar
ket' for sensation purposes, and to
keep the present proAigate Congress in
power. Even at the North trade de-
clines, taxes press heavily on the poor,
and no one is comfortable save the
bloated recipient of Congressional
bounty and the Republican office-hol-
ders. This is the system which must
be swept away. There is no hope of a
change until Congress shall bechanged
and the JacObins turned out. When
we are rid of Hem-the Radical lead
ers-we may hope for better days
We cannot expect retrenchment and
reform from desperate and inveterate
spendthriftS generous, not with their
own, but other peoples money. If
we are ever to have back a free Con-
stitution, it will not be from the per-
jured Wretches who have openly "re-
pudiated' it. We may not look for
liberty from those who have stricken
down the courts, and substituted mill
tary commissions for the jury trial
nor for peace from party which con-
fessedly thriveS by public disorders,
and Systematically fans and promotes
sectional hatredS as the surest means
of perpetuating its power. They have
no interest in bringing about peace,
for with restored peace and harmony
the Republican party would no longer
have pretext for its organization, or
a policy for the future. The leaders
are, therefore, in no hurry to sign their
own death arrant.-Ndti0Aai Hatell-

THE BALTIMORESUN.-- affords us
pleasure to notice the enlargement and
improvement of this peerless newspa-
per in both its daily and weekly edi-
tions. As newspaper the Daily San
has but few equals and really no SUI
periors in the United States. 1t is Pc
peculiarly the family or popular daily
journal Of the middle tier of States. Es-
chewing everything like intolerant
partizan feeling, it has come to be look
ed up to as reliable authority and is Ia
ken by all parties without regard to po-
litical preferences. In its cOmpendi-
um of news it is prominently catho-
lic-Omiting nothing of general inter
est-and presenting everything at the
earliest moment. In its editorial con-
duct it is notwithstanding all prac-
tical subjects with freedom, but with
dignity and sense of propriety which
are thoroughly understood. AS an adj
vertising medium the sun is unrivaIled.
What we say of the Daily San may
with equal force be applied to the
WEEKLY Sun, which indeed is a COM
pendulum of the dailies with the addi-
tiOn Of sOme original matter. The dali
ly is furnished at six dollars per year
and the weekly at one dollar and half

Local candidates and local causes
brought out vote on the Radical side,
which will not be polled at the Presi
DENTAL election. Besides, colonization
from other States, was briskly carried
on by the enemy. The meagre ma
jority against US III Pennsylvania, was
made up of imported New Workers,
Jerseymen and Delawareans. On the
first Tuesday of November, these car
pet-baggers will be needed in their
own States. Hence, if the Democrats
poll as many votes as they did on the
thirteenth OF October, they will carry

S0gGEsE DEFEATED.

The notorious political trickster, the
immaculate investigation, John Covode,
who has, hy the basest frauds ever per
petrated upon any community, been
permitted heretofore to misrepresent
the people Of the WeslmorIand district,
in Congress, was quietly sheIved at the
late election. But it was not his fault
that this was done. He eudcavored to
repeat the infamous colonization Of
1866. which secured his election, en-
grander scale in 1865. All The scala
wags in the political market were
bought up by him and his agents, and
shipped to convenient points TO be u
sed on the day Of election. Fraud,
bribery and corruption, in which sub
tie arts John is an acknowledged a.
dept, were used TO sufe the voice of
the people, bat the sturdy yeomanry
of his district were determined to be
disgraced no longer, and they went to
work like true men and elected that
gallant Democrat, Henry ID. Foster in
his place. We congratulate the people
ofthe Twenty-frst District, and, indeed,
the people Of the State, that they have
rid themselves of this political nui-
sance. The alligator" is squelched!

LIKE a dog pits vomit, the Radi-
Gals Of this county return to their mis-
representations and falsehoods. Some
of them, just now, are trying to make
the people believe that the Democratic
party are in favor Of abolishing green
backs, and that we printed an article
to that effect. OF course nothing of the
kind ever appeared in our columns,
and a lie so absurd on its face, scarcely
needs denial. Go on with your lying,
gentlemen, it is your only stock in
trade But you will find in the future,
as you have found in the past, that the
Democracy cannot be fooled with such
gudgeon bait as this.
The Democracy is the greenback
party Of the country. On this issue
mainly we fight the present campaign.
TWenty-siX hundred millions of dol
lars are locked up in Government
Bonds. This sum is incomprehensibIe
and fabulous. 1t is nearly one third
Of the value of all the assessabIe prop
erty Of the country, according to the
census Of 1860. 1t is more than the
whole expense Of the Government for
fifty years before the war. Yet this
immense sum is exempt from taxation,
the bond-hoIder~ paying not one cent
OF taxes. The interest on these bonds
is two hundred millions OF dollars in
gold every year, and this sum is paid
by the people. Everybody helps to pay
it except the bOnd-holders The farm
er, the merchant, the professional
man, the laborer aud the mechanic pay
it. They pay it on their tea, coffee,
tobacco, sugar and on everything they
eat, drink and wear. The Democratic
party say that the bondholdcrs must
be made help pay the taxes. The
Democratic party demand that these
bonds shall be paid off in greenbacks.
The people would thus save two hun
dred millions Of dollars gold interest
annually. Is there anything wrong in
this? Choose ye whom ye will serve.

State Ticket in this Congressional dis

mighty fallen! Time was when John
ran thousands ahead Of his party tick

through by "the skin Of his teeth"
and instead Of giving strength to his
party. as some people supposed he
would. it required all the power Of that
party to prevent his ignominious de-
feat. No wonder John is so grabbed.
He goeth about the streets, "scolding
like very drab." The idea drumming
100 votes behind his ticket is very gall
ing to the little fellows pride. Poor
