The Tax-Payers' Revolution.

All over the length and breadth of this
broad land we see and hear of changes
changes from bad to good, from Radical
ism 10 Democracy.
Everywhere the taxpayers, the people,
are leaving the ranks of the destructive
party, are Withdrawing from under the
black flag of the Jacobin pirates, and mar
shaling themselves under the protecting
folds of the Democratic standard.
Everywhere you go, and the more you
travel the more you see, you will become
convinced of this most important fact -
The people do not talk so much Radical
ism now as they did; they do not talk so
much about ''rebel'' and ''traitor," and
use such shallow arguments in an effort to
controvert the straightforward charges
made by the Democracy, of corruption,
fraud and yillainy in the Radical admins
tratiun of affairs.
The people have become disguised with
these weak, senseless TRADES, and have
left them solely to the leaders of Jacobism
the petty editors and orators of the party
IdreS-
Bonds
Tariffs
Negro Bureau
Standing Armies
Radical Thieves
Radical injustice and dishonesty gene1-al!yy
These are the questions that now en-
gage the attention of the people of the
United States, and from East to West,
from North to South, throughout the
length and breadth of this land, upon the
hill-tcps and deep into the valleys, go ev-
| erywhere, and you will find that the tax
payers unanimously
Demand ckanJey
Heretofore it has been their custom to
attend closely to the business of the shop
or the farm, resting securely and prosper
ously under the good and economical ad-
ministration of the Democracy. With
the advent of Radicalism they suspected
nothing wrong, but they now see much
that is not right They have opened their
eyes to much within the past year or two,
and they have discovered Radicalsm in
| all its corruption and rascality.
They have discovered that while they
were busy in the field with the plow Rad
]
money they had paid into the treasury in
the shape of taxes and tariffs.
They have discovered that while they
were working from twelve TO eighteen
| hours each day in order to meet the de-
mands of the relentless tax gatherer, the
Radical Rump Congress was Industrious
ly engaged in concocting schemes to in
crease the burdens of taxation and put on
more tax gatherers.
''The muliitudes in all countries are pa
tient to a certain point" The patience of
the American people has been severely
tried, but it can endure no more of the
rule Of Radicalism-no more of taxing the
poor for the support of the rich no more
of taxation to support three millions of
hardy, idle negroes; no more of taxation
to keep useless and expensive army in
time of peace no more of taxation to
support in Office the Radical pirates who
have destroyed governments and constitu-
tiOns made by JEFFERSON and WASHING
TON, and their compatriots of that revolu-
ton which bought, through fire and sword,
our freedom from tyranny, our national
existence no more of taxation TO fill the
pockets of Radical thieves who hang about
the peoples treasury no more of taxation
that Radical Congressman may have mon
ey to vote away in worthless appropria-
tions. Of these things the people are
wearying.
AGAINST THESE THINGS THEY REBEL
Radicalism has taxed, and bied, and
burdened them. until they viii no longer
stand it, hence we find them taking their
! places beside the yeoman Democracy of
the land, and demanding for themselves
and their posterity:
Equal TAXATION.
ONE CURRENCY FOR ALL.
| SOvEREIG NTY OF THE STATES.
ECONOMY IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS
UNION, AND PEACE, AND REPUBLICAN
| GOVERNMENT FOREVER.
These are the live issues of the pending
canvass. Upon these issues are the peo-
pie arrayed in solid opposition to the Rad
ical thieves and shOddyites at Washington,
and in opposition to the bondholdcr and
aristocrat, the enemy of the laboring men
everywhere
This is THE TAx-PAYERs' REVOLUTION.
Let Radicalism beware
