This what the people imperatIvcly de
mand. They have been demanding il
through their speakers and through the
press for the last four years to our certain
| knowledge; and yet Congress, having full
! power in the premises, have turned deal
ePr to the cries Of the people, and have me
inst nothing at all to tighten their burdens,
if we except the reduction of the whisky
tax, which never went into the public trea-
sury and how, although it came off the peo.
pie. On the contrary, with a perhdy and
baseness that has no PARALLEL in modern
times, they nearly doubled their own salar-
les and perquisites, and then turn round and
laugh in the faces Of an insulted and be-
traved constituency. cy.-The Republican car
didatc for Congress, John A. Bingham
SCOTS at equal taxation, and says that no
ono bat "knye or a lool' would ask for
equal taxation. Well, let us see how
the figures look, for figures, be it remember
ed, Won't lie:
We will suppose that a citizen Of Cadiz
has SIG, 600 in government bonds. These
are ex npt from taxation for State, Coun-
ty, Township, Road and School purposes,
by law of tfeir creation. "Oh," says a
Radc.ls, but there is an income tax to be
u.
an income Of 1000 exempt from taxation.
600 worth Of bonds tn interest on which,
at Spe1 cent, is $3.50, without paying any
income tax; but suppose he converts his
1860 (which you know is gold) into green
backs it will then be- say 81 400. He then
has taxes to pay on just $4O0,, which, at 5
per cert, is 800 So you see The bondhol l.
or can live among you like nabob and pay,
comparatively speaking, little or no tax,
and what he does pay is for national and
not local purposes. Is this right? Is this
jusR
But, let us pursue this matter "a little
further. We will take farmerfoT instance,
who lives in Cadiz township. He has, by
a life Of constant toll, accumulated enough
to puichaso 150 acres of land, which, al
present prices, is worth say $3.50 per acre.
1t is valued on the duplicate, however, at
500 per acre, and is taxed $2,S5 on the
500. This would amount to the sum o.
$427,50. We will spppose The farmer
whole income to be- 1000, which it might
be in prosperous year. He tnen has $50
additional income tax to pay This will
bring his taxes up to the snug little sum OF
$4T7,50. The farmer works constantly, but
the bondholdor tolls not neither does he
spin" The farmer lives near our town,
and at bis own request is included in cur
Union School District. His children like
those of the bondIholaer, get the benefit of
our school, but unlike the bondholder, he
pays for the education Of his children. Is this
right? Is itjust? Every fight-minded man
will say no. How are w8 to remedy this
matter? We answer, by turning out Chr

CLIMATIC CuRosITlEs. The changes in
counay's climate by settlement and cul-
tivation Of the soil often seem strange and
inconsistent. A letter from late traveller
in Nebraska notes some curious contrasts:
1t is equent subject of remark in the
OEio Valley, that settling the country,
clearing and ditching the land, constantly
makes it dryer, that old wells and springs
are drying up, and each succeeding summer
branches run dry which never did bsfore,
The French Agricultural Report makes tho
same complaint, and calls upon the Gov
ernmertto SIC TIE obstruction Of the 70 :
ests, as the means Of preserving the rivers.
But here, with settlement, exactly the re-
verse phenomena are presented, and the
qnantity of rain in Western Nebraska and
Kansas has doubled within the memory of
man. Perhaps this is due somewhat to the
trees planted on new farms, but | think al
so that the breaking up Of the sod allows
it to absorb more moisture than it could in
the prairie state, and in many instances
turning a hundred acres of sod will renew
an cd spring. Fresh branches are starting
in gulies which have been dry tor hun
dreds, perhaps thousands of years. Thus,
Springs break out in the thirsty wilder
ness, and streams Of water in the dry
ground Here is an important principle
at work. which will enable agriculture 10
make great advances on what is now the
American desert" Akin to these are the
facts of heavy iains this summer in Colora-
do and CelifJrni.., States where the rule 81
dry summers seems TO have, been invaliable
heretofore. Who iall divine the laws oi
such revolutions.
