Irish Republicans.

The Irishmen are coming out for
Grant and Colfax in large numbers in
Chicago. A strong Irish Republican
club has been formed, which Mr..
scanlon, the we'll known Fenian, ad-
dressed as follows:
They wish it distinctly known that
the members of this club withdraw
themselves entirely from the imputa-
tion cast upon the Irish people that
they always acted with the Democratic
party. They wish it distinctly under
stood that they were on the side Of
the right and could no longer even
countenance the dOings of the Demo-
cratic party, and so had withdrawn
themselves from the bulk of their
countrymen, and proposed to stand
out boldly in favor of justice to all
men. The Democrats Of Chicago were
resting in fancied security as to the
Irish votes next November, but when
that time comes they will find much
to their surprise, that the Irish had
been wheedled and deceived long
enough and had taken the matter in
their own hands, determined to right
it. Mr.. Scanlon then spoke Of the
manner i'm which the Irish had been
treated by the Democratic party, and
briefly reviewed the issues as presented
in the present political contest, drawing
the conclusion that it was the interest
of the Irish people in America to con-
meet themselves with the Republican
party.

Let the soldiers rememberer, that
the only Democratic Judge of the
Supreme Court, decided the Soldiers
voting law unconstitutional, thereby
doing all in his power to prevent
them from electing loyal men to Of
fee, while they were lighting for their
country.
That Seymour, when Governor Of
New York, vetoed the soldiers voting
law, thereby preventing them from
voting, while the stay-at home sneaks
and rebels did the voting and held
the offices.
That all the bitter and unrepent-
ant rebels are working for the eleo-
tion Of Seymour and Blair. expecting
again to be restored TO power and
Office with their election.
That these rebels openly boast that
they will gain their ''iost cause
which they lost on the battlefield, if
they can only elect Seymour and
Blair.
That the Republican party has
always been the friend of the soldier,
while a majority Of The Democracy
have been his bitter enemies.
Who will you vote for-your old
comrade and commander, Gen. Grant?
or the man who did not want you TO
vote-Seymour?

The last-Republican Legislature Of
Ohio reduced taxation so as to make
a saving Of three millions Of dolIans.
to the people Of the State.
The present Democratic LegIsla-
ture has cost the people s166, 900, and
will increase the taxation S2IO 600
this year.
The first session Of the XXXIXth
Congress reduced taxation so millions
of dollars and the second session,
same Congress, reduced il Al millions
more. The XLth Congress reduced
federal taxes to the amount Of 50
millions.
Since the war closed the Republi-
can Congress has stricken the taxes
from about ten thousand different ar
ticles of domestic consumption, re-
duced the volume Of taxation over
167 millions OfdOllars, paid of 250
millions of the national debt and re-
duced the annual interest on the debs
more than fifteen millions.
At the same time Congress has met
the enormous expense Of paying of
and mastering out an army Of over
a million of men, and has annually
paid over so millions In bOunties and
pensions to the nations soldiers and
their widows and orphans.
Though the Republican party in
herited a bankrupt treasury, . dis
hOnored credit and a gigantic rebel
lion, the ordinary expenses of the
government paid in paper are less, In
proportion to population, by many
millions, than they were in gold un-
der the administration Of Buchanan.
The army actually cost mueh less
per regiment in paper than it cost per
regiment in gold under the last Dem-
Ocratic administration.
If the expenses Of the navy were
up to the standard of those Of the
last Democratic administration they
would reach 40 millions, whereas the
actual appropriations for the navy
are now but Is millions.
The Post Office Department during
the last three years Of Buchanan'5
administration made drafts on the
Treasury of over seven millions Of
dollars, whereas during the whole
time the Republicans have been in
power the drafts for the postal SER
vice have not averaged two millions
per annum.

How the Democracy Propose
10 Tax the Farmers and Ne.
ehamics-Read! Read
The Democratic National Conven-
ton at New York adopted the 4th
Resolution of its Platform, as follows:
equal taxation of every species of
property, according TO value, includ-
ing Government bonds and other
public securities.
The revenues Of the United States,
under the laws Of a Republican Con-
gress, are mainly derived from the
tariff, sale of public lands, internal
revenue from tax on incomes over
81, 600 per year, tax on the manufac-
ture whisky and tobacco. The taxes
on all other manufactures have been
repealed, relieving manufacturers
from a tax of $167, 1000, QUO per year,
which they have heretofore paid.
They have levied no direct tax upon
lands and chattel property.
For the benefit Of the fortunate
owners flands aud chattels, we will
show them what taxes they would
pay the United States, in addition to
those now paid, if the Democratic
party succeeded in getting into pow
er, as proposed in the above resOlu-
ton. We take the valuation of real
and personal property from the Audi
tor Of States report for 1867:
For Ohio land, in country, ,S5OI, IA, ,5s4
For city and town lOts............ l72, S49, ,I73
464, 76l ,0z2
$l,1Ss, ,764, ,779
If a tax Ofone per cent. were levied
upon the amount for United States
purposes it would amount to Sl1 ,387,- :
546 79, which is nearly three times
as much as Ohio collects for State
purposes, which was in 1857 on the
above valuation S3.981, ,099 79.
The above valuation of real proper
ty was made before the war, or in
1859. Another valuation must be
made in 1869 or 1870. That the
value of all lands and city lots has
doubled since then no one will deny,
and doubtless much has quadrupled
Say the next valuation of real estate
will be only double whatit was in
1859; then it was S683 993.757, in 1870
it will be S1,347, ,987,5 ,514. Say the
chattel property will be only $500,
900, 1000, or a total of$1 ,847, 1897, ,5I4.
One per cent. on the above would
add to the taxes of the people of Ohio
in 1870 under Democratic rule S18,-
479,875 Il By far the greater por-
ton would fall upon the farming in
terest and other owners of land.
Seymour, the representative Of Au-
gust Belmont, and the other bond
holders of the East, altogether over
reached their rural brethren in the
West, when he agreed to "equal tax
alton Ofevery species Of property ac-
eording to value"
Any owner of a house and lot in a
city, or of a farm, large or small, in
the country, can readily calculate
from the valuation the Assessor places
upon his property, what an addition
to his taxes the Democratic party pro-
poses to make.-CCOlumbus Journal.
