"Wili you walk into mysparlor7
Said the Spider to the Fly;
suNic, tho nraftiast little DarlOr


That ever you did spy"
The fate of the poor fly is similar to the
fate which awaits the taxpayer and pro-
ducer, if ahe should aecep. thesinvltatlon OF
the bondholder, and vote against his own
interests.
It's all very nice to take Bingham theo-
ry-as nicely told as was the story by the
spider, Mr.. Bingham will tell the poor
man that he pays no taxes--that the taxes
are oil paid by the rich bondholders-But
the poor man, if be have any sense at all,
Aa,o,os that bonds are exempt from tdrdt1on
of all kinds. But Mr.. Bingham will say,
the Income tar. Why bless your soul-the
whole ipcome tax of the United States is
but sixty million, and even that is paid by
the producer.
Well, if the poor pay no taxes, and
bonds are exempt as every one knows, pray
WHO DOES PAY THE TAXES?-
Where do THEY COME FROM?
Bingham and the bondholders tap the
poor man on the back, and say--"Come
along my fine fellow-you amt going with
Wade Hampton are you? You and | are
loyal. We stand by the Government. We
are in the seventh year of the war-fght-
ing all the time. Wade Hampton and
Forrest were in the N. Y. Convention, and
this by itself ought to 'make you vote tor
anything which we propose. Estep and
these rebel Democrats talk about finance
and taxation, but ha! ha! such things are
side issues-taxatlon and finance are Of no
interest to anybody who is loyal. Why the
poor pay no taxes.
Yes, it is by such silly stuff as the above
that the Spider, Bingham. asks the poor
flies to step into his loyal parlors. 1t is by
such trash that they would deceive and de-
coz heignoraEt, and even some who ought
TO know better seem to ignore all common
sense, and labor to continue in power men
committed to such folly. ~
If the taxpayer is deceived by such sto-
ries-if he ignores his OWE interests, and
votes to continue in Office such men as
Bingham, his late will be lamentable in
deed
The bondholder may well afford to treat
questions Of finance and taxes with disdain,
and call tfem ''side-issues." as he well
knows he ,ciU not hare to foot the tH-his
bonds are eremph The burden will tall up
on the Producer--the poor men of the
country and the benefits will all accrue to
the bondholder, Every hour of sweat and
toll will have to pay its toll to the bond
holder. Every dollar earned by industry
win be compelled to contribute to pay the
bondholder; and taxpayer the Bondhold>
er will help pay NONE oFrHE DEBT, it is he
who, holds the mortgage, which your sweat
mtst release. H
Honest man, ponder before you vote.
Voting is serious business. Don't be carri>
ed away with hurrah, with rockets nor
torches, but reflect upon the issues involv-
cd in the election
IF Bingham and his party are successful,
it will be the beginning Of long night of
gloom to you. You will see harder times
than was ever felt before. Many will be
compelled to go to bed hungry who are now
comfortable. Many young man will wear
away his life in hopeless struggle for po-
sition, and long before Old age overtakes
him, drop off in the stream of death, worn
out in despair, There will then be but one
hope to the poor man, and that hope is,
that when the last feather is pat on the
Camel back, it will be more than the peo-
pie car, bear, and it win lead to that dread
resort -rpudiatioa. a
The bondholder must not be too grasp
ing. Let him take greenbacks for his
bonds. They are at least twenty-five per
cent. more valuable now than they were
when he expended them for bonds. 1t is
to his interest to voto for Estep and this
policy. Let him remember the fate Of
lShyloct, and take warning by the exam
ple s.. n,
Itis to tho interest Of the Countryside
the interest fthe producer, and it is the
to the real interest Of the bondhoder to
defeat Bingham.
Look at facts--known facts, Study your
interests. Vote quietly, and may God aid
yc1to clocsc wisely. .il
