How the COpperiFcads Propose 10
Pay the Farmers.

The New York Democratic Convention
announced that upon the elevation of their
party to power, they will "tar equaliy' every
species OF property, including national
bonds, according to its value.
The value of the taxable property of every
kind in the United States in 1870, will not
fall short of $50, 100000 900. OF this sum
three.eighths or $l3,000,0 900, 900, are inyes
ted in farm lands, and SIS, 600, 600 600 in live
stock, farm Improvements, machinery and
implements.
The national bonds amount to about So.
100000, 900.
Neither the lands, live stock, machinery
Eor implements the farmers, nor the bonds
are taxed by the United States.
The Democratic party propose, in order to
equalize taxation, to collect an equal tax for
every species of property, including Govern
ment bonds, according TO its value. The
annual wants of the United States for reve-
nue., including interest and pensions, will be
S350,OO0,O0O, or one per cent. upon all the
taxable property IN the United States.
The practical operation of the Democratic
system of taxation will be that the Govern
ment bonds will yield annually tax of
$2l, 900 900, and that the farm lands, fences,
horses, hogs, sheep, chickens, cows, wagons,
machinery and implements of the farmers
will yield $l60,000,0 900 annually. That is
the plan of equal taxation proposed by the
Democratic platform. In order to reach the
Sc, 100000 of bonds with d tax, in defiance
of the contract, the Democratic party pro-
pose to put tax Of 100000, 900 ON the
farmers.

Missouri for ssrnnt.

The st. Louis Democrat of Oct. s, says:
Conversation with prominent radicals
from every part of the State, who are here
attending the Fair, warrants us in saying
that Missouri is as safe for Grant as Massa
ctusetts or Iowa. We shall carry the First
Congressional district by 500, the Second by
1000, the Third by small majority, the
Fourth by 5000, the Fifth by 1000, the
Seventh 10y 5000; total, 24,5Oo. The Eighth
10 close, and in any event will not give a
large majority to either party, but we hope
to carry it. The Sixth and Ninth are doubt
iul; both Colonel Van Horn and Colonel
Dyer have fair prospects and strong hopes
of success. But those two districts alone
must overcome twenty five thousand MAORI
ty before the Democrats can hope to carry
Missouri
From every paft Of the State we have the
same tidings-the radicals are gaining rapid
ly. Hundreds of men who have never he.
fore voted any other than democratic ticket
are sick of the obstinate rcbclism of that
party, sick of its persistent hostility to law
and disposition to resist law, sick of its tur-
bulent and revolutionary tendency, sick of
its pg-headed adherence the dead ideas and
'iurlcd Banners sick of its narrow preudices
and unworthy appeals to the mcanest pas
SiOuS, anu Will NOlC lOT bTuuL dHt peace.
Counties which gave considerable demo
cratic majorities in 1865 arc reported to us
as safe for radical majorities.
Again, the immigration to the state has
been enormous, and in many counties it
swells the radical vote remarkably. We
have memoranda of many counties in which
the registered radical vote has trebled since
1866, and many more in which it has dou.
bled. These facts are not met by any coun.
teracting democratic gains, except in few
counties where a large rebel vote has been
registered, and these counties we have in
cluded in our estimate of districts. There
is no part of the state where the radical
voters of 1866 in any number have changed
to democracy; the changes are almost wholly
the other way. And we see no reason to
doubt that the state will give over twenty
and perhaps over thirty thousand majority,
il the radicals in counties and districts where
they are strong, take pains to poll their full
VOTE

Forty Miles Of snow sheds

The Pacific Railroad Company arc now
engaged in erecting sheds over the cutting.
and other exposed points. They are Of
heavy timber framed work, with pointed
gable roofs, and look as if they could with.
stand almost any pressure of snow. Nearly
forty miles of the track will have to be thus
covered, and the quantity of timber required
will be enormous. Not less than twenty
two saw-mils, most of them worked by
steam, are run night and day, employing
nearly two thousand men; and yet they elo
not work up to the needs of tue Company
It's estimated that it will require no less tLan
eight hundred thousand feet of lumber to
construct a mile of sheds. SO great is the
demand that the country on both sides of the
track is being rapidly dcnudcd OF its forests.

BY reference to our telegraphic columns
1t will be seen that the official majority for
John B. Packer in this Congressional dis
trct is two thousand six hundred and
nnety.six. In the five counties constitu-
ting the district-Dauphin, Northumberland,
Union, Snyder and Juniata-the majority
for the Republican State ticket is two thou
sand and thirty four. 1t will thus be seen
that Mr.. Packer runs six hundred aud sixty
two ahead of his ticket. This tribute to
our able representative in Congress elect is
one which he fully deserves. We are not
invidious in drawing this comparison be-
tween Mr.. Packer and General Hartranft.
We desire simply to point out what the
Republicans of this Congressional district
can and have done when the choica of their
hearts is placed in nomination and they are
not controlled hy clique politicians. We
congratulate Mr.. Packer on his handsome
majority. y.-HurrisJurg State Guard.

Democracy is Revolution, Alike IL"
victory and Defeat.

II would seem that whether the Democra
CIV succeed or not, they intend to enter on
revolution to upturn and again attempt tno
destruction of the Government. For lh-
stance, in recent speech made in Washing'
ton city, Tom Ewing, a noted rebel sympa-
thizer of the Frank Blair School, uttered the
following ominous language: ,-. oo.
"on The Sd Of November next the hherM"h ,I.i poU

TI,EAVEi, OF CIVIL WAR, and then, should
CONGRESS sustain The blacks, ashes ''iH corer me
This Is threat repeatedly INDUCED in
nv southern men, to resist the will of the
peope as expressed at the ballot-box.-
Ewing declares cmphatically that the
Southern people are prepared for another
war to resist the election of Republican
President, just as they did in 1861. For
this we must wait and watch.
On the other tack, the New York World
boasts of what the Democracy will do in
case of their success. There is something
charming in the bravado of the World. Hear
it:
"Whcn the Democratic party has elected the next
President, it will be manifest to everybody that n
negro government cannot bo permanent. If he
Senate and the Southern negroes shall Men yield
to the 1ciH Of the country we shall have immediate
tranquility But if they choose TO make factious
opposition THE SOUTHERN WHITES WILL
PROBABLY CUT THE GoRDIAN KNOT
WITHOUT WAITING FOR CHANGE IN
THE SENATE TO HAVE IT UNITED"
One cannot resist the conviction, after
reading these counter declarations, that De.
mocrstic orators and organs have gone mad
become stark crazy. They are for war,
bloodshcd, anarchy, the total destruction OF
all grand national affairs, the obliteration
of all the laws deemed necessary to safe re.
construction, and the organization of con
dition of affairs all over the country such as
now exists in Texas, where life and proper.
ty are at the mercy Of ruiiianism. We leave
the intelligent voter to consider the Ian.
guage on the subject, uttered and printed
by Democratic orators and organs.

Gen. Grant has issued fewer proclamations
and manifcstoes than any other American
who ever filed so large a space in the public
eye; yet each casual revelation of his char.
acter increases the respect and confidence of
his fellow citizens. He never volunteered
any advice to his countrymen with regard to
their political duties and pcrils and we owe
mainly to the fact that Committee of Con.
gress summoned him before it as a witness
and sharply catechised him our knowledge
that his comprehension Of the whole subject
Of Reconstruction was clearer and his grasp
of the whole matter tirmer and stronger thar
that of any of our vaunted statesmen. He
could not have known beforehand what
questions would be asked him; for his an.
swer to one question often suggested the
next; and, if the former were asked by a
Republican, the latter often cmanated from
a Democrat and the two qucrists certainly
had no mutual understanding AS to the drift
of their several inquiries. We doubt whether
there is another man in the country whose
ideas as to the proper treatment of the late
Rebel communities would command sIcl
wide acceptauce-n0w. that the passions

CHIEF.JUsTICE CHASE on THE RESULT
Intimate friends OF ChiefJustice Chase say
that he has recently spoken very freely in
regard to the pending election. He thinks
that Grant viii carry all the States, with the
exception of six or eight, and that after he
becomes President the country will surely
prosper. In his opinion Grant will make a
prudent and honest officer; will assume no
powers that do not belong to him will call
good and trustworthy men around him, and
will, by his management of the affairs of the
country, make reelection in 1872, an easy
matter. He will he the means of uniting
the Republican party and keeping it on the
offensive. Mr. Chase adds that the present
political campaign clearly demonstrates the
fact that the Democratic party of the North
cannot remain united with the Democratic
party of the South and hope for success.
