PROGRESS OF IIBERAL IDEAS IN EUROPE,

PROGRESS OF LIBERAL IDEAS IN EUROPE
Liberalism has taken great strides upon
The other side of the Atlantic within few
years. The whole population of the con-
tinent seems TO have been inoculated with
the ideas which lie at the foundation of our
Government This has occurred, however,
more especially since the rebellion was
crushed. Up to that time the Republic
had been popularity deemed an experiment;
the ruling classes had taken pains to insdl
that belief. But when the eager, painting
peoples of Europe saw that American De-
mocraey was strong enough to seize and
strangie a rebellion precpitated by the
aristocratic element; when they saw the
young nation rise from her struggle
with the nervous activity of a
new life, then they took courage
and began to move forward to the accom-
plishment of their liberties
Carlyle saw the inevitable result of the
American victory when he wrote his
'Leaping Niagara"
1t may seem strange that Spain should
have been the first TO move; but there are
two influences which bring about revolu-
lions: Desire of increased liberty aud the
resistance to oppression present and felt.
Spain was ruled by an absolute and un-
scrupulous monarch; the reaction came
the sooner. Among those peoples who do
not experience direct oppression the other
influence is working its way.
In call for National Peace Congress
at Berne, in September, it was asserted
that the united States of Europe can have
no organization except one founded
upon popular Democratic institutions.
having federation as its basis. At this
Congress women were to have the same
rights as men.
Throughout all Europe the popular
cause is becoming stronger. In England
it asserts itself in demand for universal
suffrage. 10 the parish..ot Ashford, in East
Kent, the women have been registered as
sufragans. In Germany the popular idea
takes the form OF demand for German
unity. Everywhere the people are assum-
ing their sovereignty.
Thus has the monarchy and aristocracy
of Europe been repaid for the moral sup
port extended to the rebellion. Yet we
blame not. The slave master and the
were natural friends; theirs a
common cause; theirs common fate.

BOW TO REDUCE TAXES,

How the burden Of taxation may be
lightened is problem in which the whole
country is interested.
The war debt exists it must be paid
paid by taxation. No political party can
permanently lessen the weight except by
adopting such policy as will foster the
productive energies OF the country. When
our people produce more wealth, and not
till then, will the assessments be less felt.
The rich fields Of the South invite cult
vation. They are capable of yielding ten
fold the amount presently produced.
For want OF capital whole States are
neglected, nearly desolated We're these
lands cultivated as they should be, how
much would the tax upon the products 60
toward reducing the general rate?
The South can have no prosperity, can
obtain no assistance until peace reigns
within hor borders. The disorder in her
midst is incident to the political condition
of the country-our problem then becomes
political question,
Grant and Colfax give US pledges of
peace; their opponents threaten violence.
Nothing but the success of the Republican
party will end the contest, whose continue
ton has so protrasted the country. Then
a new era will dawn. Turning to the arts
of peace. the whole people viii divide the
burden Of taxation, and soon forget it in
discovering those untold mines of agri-
cultural and manufacturing wealth pointed
to by oar past prosperity.

By command OF Lieut.. Gen. BuoKSER. I
AS. Adit, Cen,
Upon the reverse of this interesting relic
is the following manuscript apparently a
portion of an editorial of recent date:
Unhappy people, black as well
1 as white. After three years of absolute
peace in which to restore the material and
social wreck of the war, we find state of
affairs ten fold worse than at the begin
ming.
Bitter as are their internal dissensions we
find no hope of amelioration. Every week
adds to wretchedness and misery of the
people, and draws them nearly to the
bloody struggle which now appears in
evitable. Eighty thousand white men
the Intelligent and taX-paying class-have
40 voice ia :he councils OF the State, and
they have supplicated in vain. Their efforts
toward peace are met with derisive seolr,
and preparations are made for more
active and crushing despotism. The men
in power are about to arm their party
against their opponents. The State is on
the very verg- OF an intestine war.
The Democratic Senators and members
of the House will be rather surprised to
find that they have no voice in the councils
Of the State, and the public generally will
be glad to know when aud where the
efforts Of the Democracy coward peace
have been met with derisive scorn"
In New Orleans. at least, with our pres
ent Judges and city government, the Demo-
Gratis seem to run the machine.
Willsomebody tell us how much "voice'
the Republicans have in the councils of
The State of Kentucky, by way of illustrs-
ton Yet we do not hear them talking
about intestine war; But down here
the doctrine Of the minority seems to be,
Let US govern, or fght.'

the way to the rightful authorities to restore
order and inaugurate peace on a permanent

THE nAMpA1aN


Let the Republicans Of Louisiana wake
up. We are approaching election day too
rapidly to waste one moment. We are
none too powerful though we have an I'M
doubted majority of the votes of the State.
Our opponents are strong in numbers and
wealth, compact in organization, and dan
gerous in their unscrupulousness.
Organize thoroughly with the object Of
getting every Republican registered and
voted. Pay less attention 10 making
speeches and passing resolutions than To
practical hard work. There are few votes
to be won BY pretty words, thousands to
be had by perfected organization.
We presume that nearly every man in
Louisiana has made up his mind how he
will vote. A majority of 10000 have
chosen Grant and CSllax. A desperats
and determined minority will seek By
every means fair or foul to defeat tina
majority. They are laboring with untiring
zeal. They have every advantage but
that Of being engaged IN a just cause.
The Republicans will carry Louisiana i
they do their duty.
