who has had his garden or orchard rob

place on the jury when Mr.. Owen is
brought to trial. We do not know of

MAINE ELECTION is nothing
new to add to the Maine election. 1t is
clear union republican victory, carry
ing every county but one in the State,
and the doubtful" congressional dis
trict elects the union ticket by over q
600 majority, white the union majority

5000 more than last year, which of
course must be rcckoned as tremendous
democratic gain !"

MEN OF Our DAY.-A peculiar fea-
ture of republican society is the rapid
advancement of men of talent and abili-
ty to positions of trust and responsibility
There are, at this time, many men prom
mently before the American people whose
career is but partially known. We read
eagerly the words of counsel and cheer
they speak, and catch glimpses of their
| character. DIR. L. P. Brockett, the pop
ular biographical editor of Appleton's
Cyclopadia, has prepared concise and
interesting biographies of those men, and
| we have now before US proofsheets of
the work which is shortly to be issued
from the press. The position and repu-
tation of its author is guarantee of its
strict and impartial accuracy. The work
is written in a clear, terse and interesting
style, and is interspefs ed with incidents
and anecdotes where ever they can il
lustrate the character or peculiarities of
the subject. 1thas been prepared with
great care, and gives evidence through
out that the time occupied by its author
in collecting and arranging its material
was not spent in vain.
We notice biographies of GRANT, Col
FAX, WADE, STANTON, and about fifty
other of our foremost men in this com
plete volume.
CThis work should not be COMPOUNDED
with one of nearly the same title, but
containing only eighteen Biographies
A valuable and interesting feature of
the book is in its fine steel portraits,
torty-two in number, and as likenesses un.
surpassed by anything of the kind We
have seen. Those who desire an inter
esting work should embrace the first OBJ
portunity of securing a copy of this book.

YOU'VE AMERIcA.--A political colo
quy.-Young America and the boys are
very naturally for Grant and the union
party. They find there much more
free scope for genuine patriotism. The
following is sent us ashaving taken place
not a thousand miles from Bridgewater
Two democrats and boy of decided re-
publican proclivities meeting the other
day, the following conversation ensued ;
LIST Dem.-Well, Mr.. d., have you
heard from Maine?
I'd Dem.-(dejectedly) Yes.
LIST Dem. Well, how did it go?
I'd Dem.-Oh, black as HI. Twen-
ty thousand for the republicans and more
coming in.
LIST Dem.-Well, always knew Maine
was id black. But then, Vermont
and New Hampshire, Maine and Massa-
chusetts are of no consequence. We ex-
pect them to go that way.
I'd Dem-Ye'es.
Rep.-Well, the states that go repub-
lican soon't be of any consequence till
the last one has gone that way. Then
you Cops. will begin to open your eyes.
LIST Dem sneeringly) You boys amt
of any consequence / never pay any
attention to what they say.
Rep.-Well, we won't say much now.
Next November we'll have flea for
your ears.
LIST Dem.-(changes the subject I'm
expecting New York will do the right
thing. There are a good many changes
there, (musingly.)
Rep.-Yes, Sir, there was consider
able change there when Horatio Sey-
mour's native State wouldn't elect him a
second time to the Gubernatorial chair,
but chose instead black republican.
list Dem.-Ahem, we'll, boy, you'll be
older sometime.
Rep.-Yes, Mr.. A., and you'll be
g:eat deal younger before Seymour is
President.
Grand Finale-1st Dem. drives off,
rauttering, "that's pretty hard boy"
Rep. Solo-"I suppose that's true
enough, but they'll think Grants hard
er one in November" b.

From the Burlington Free Press
Democratic Honesty.
EQUAL TAXATION"

placed upon him that the "bloated bond
holder" may go untaxed. Equality of
Taxation" they cry. Let us see what
this would be. As it is now, every man
who has an income of $1,000, or less pays
no direct tax towards sustaining the u. S.
Government or its credit. This exemp-
ton covers the entire class of what is
called The poor laboring classes" Now
if we had equality of taxation" as the
democrats demand, the day laborer who
earns 5000, per year by constant toll in
the sunshine and storm would have to
pay Government tax of $50. The poor
mechanic who now earns $500 per year,
and pays no Government tax, would have
to pay $40 per year for his " democratic
equality
As it is now the great burden of nation
al taxes fall upon the rich, upon the i'm
portation of luxuries; while the necessar-
les of life. and the earnings of the poor
man are subject to no burdens.
"TAXEs EAT UP THE FARMERS
So say the democrats. Let us see how
far this is true.
l have brother who carries on a
farm of 200 acres. He is democrat. |
don't know when he caught the disease,
but it has become chronic and suppose
nothing but the earth will take it out Of
him. However, he agreed that the fol-
lowing was the exact state his affairs
were IN under this oppressive republican
rule: his town and State taxes amount
to s56.42 per year. He sells an average
of two tons Of butter year at 40 cts. a
lb., bringing him the sum of sixteen hun
dred dollars. This he says is $500 more
', than the same amount brought before the
war, while his taxes have been increased
only 1912 by actual figures
This is but one item, but it shows how
false is the idea that the farmers are
taxed excessively and that they feel it
as great burden. There are few of
them who pay any Government Income
tax, but if the democratic idea of equal
ity OF taxation was carried out their taxes
would be doubled at once. Thus, this
brother of mine, who now says his income
amounts to but 5000 per year, and pays
State and town tax of $50. 40 cts. would
have an income tax as assessed by the
democrats of 101.42.
eff you let niger vote, YOU must
let him sit at your table, marry your sis.
ter, and be your equal in every way"
This was the logical remark of demo-
crat the other day, and l answered:
Would you invite to your house every
white man you meet at the polls, or ac-
cept them as your equals ?"
He admitted that he had seen some
white men he should hardly wish to
have as associates, and should not toler-
ate them for a moment in his house.
But suppose you have no objection
to their voting?"
Certainly not"
And you do not deem it necessary to
invite them to your house and marry
your daughter them"
by no MEANS"
why then is it necessary in the case
of the black mann"
Well, damn niger anyway. l
don want to go to the polls with them
If you do you may, that's ALL"
And that is the end of all such demo-
craic logic" Damn Niger a,,y,cay. II. |
