Taxes in the Eighth District.


The National taxes collected IN this
| (Eighth) Congressional District dur
ing the fiscal year ending June Both,
1857, amounted to sI60,043 So The
taxes collected for the following year
amounted to S115,959 being a reduc-
ton from the previous year of S44,-
O94. These are figures we have OBJ
tanned from official sources.
In one year, therefore, the RepubG-
can Congress has relieved the people
Of this District Of taxes amounting to
fortg-four thousand dollars. Not
single article produced By the farmer Is
long tared IN this District for the sup
port of the National GoUerRment.-
Congress has relieved labor of all such
burdens aud placed them on capital.
Now we challenge the Democracy to
show that the Legislature. controlled
by them last winter, has reduced tax
alton half or quarter as much IN this
District IF they cannot show this
they ought to cease bawling about tax
alton by Congress. But no Democrat
ic paper or speaker has yet had the te-
merity to even attempt to show any
reduction of the kind. The taxes
which the farmer and laboring man
feel mosta are those levied for State and
local purposes. These the Legislature
alone can remove. Have they done
it2 The poll tax, for example, they
have increased from tl0O to three dol
lars, and this tax alone is felt more by
the laboring man than all he pays for
the support of the National Govern
ment, directly or Indirectly, in the
course Of an entire year. That is the
way the Democratic Legislature has
relieved the people Of taxes and yet
the Democracy never cease their howl
ing at Congress, though it has made
immense reductions in taxes every
year since the war closed.
Take, for example, the Seventh Dis
triet, for the Eighth is by no means an
isolated case. In the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1866, the national taxes
levied were 81 ,194,789. The next year
they were 1899, All, or $3O5,318 less
The next year, 1868, they were $504,-
O92, OF 1896, ,389 less. Thus it appears
that in two years Congress has reduced
taxation nearly seUea hundred thous-
and dollars in the Seventh District
alone. We presume every District in
the State has experienced like reduc-
tions.
Our Democratic Legislature certain
ly had time enough to do its best at
retrenehing. Let as now see the fig
ures by which they can show anything
like respectable comparison with the
work of Congress

ing over again the glories of their

a terrible earthquake visited the
cities along the coast of Peru and
Ecuador on the 18th inst, By which
81, 600 lives were lost, and property to
the amount of 300 millions destroyed.
OF Arequipa, city of $4,000 inhab-
itants, there is scarcely yestige left.
OF africa, town of $4,000 inhabit-
ants, there is not house left standing.
The earthquake. caused a tremendous
tidal wave, forty feet high, which
swept on shore with terrific force The
United States store ship Fredonia was
eapsized and all on board lost. The
United States steamer Wateree was
carried half a mile inland, and left
high and dry. A large number Of
towns were destroyed and thousands
of families rendered homeless. The
shocks lasted but five minutes.

Special Dispatch TO the Gin. Gazette.
NEW YORK, Sept. IA,
The Maine election has been marked
with more than ordinary excitement,
and the largest vote ever cast has been
polled. The Republicans in all the
large towns, as we learn from our dis
patches, are engaged in rejoicing over
their immense gains. The majority is
believed to be between 5000 and 25,-
900, far exceeding the outside esti-
mates Of our friends.
Representative Blaine sends US the
following from Augusta: Gas nearly
as can now estimate, the total vote
will show "a, 600 for Chamberlain, and
5000 for Pillsbury, Republican ma
jority 22,OOO."

Nationality of Our Army.

During the late war it was a favorite
practice of English writers and other
persons sympathiziDg with the rebels,
TO assert that the federal army was al
most wholly composed of foreigners,
with only trifiing proportion or native
Americans. From the advance sheets
of Professor B. A. Gould's new work on
statistics we condense the following
official statement of the nationality Of
white soldiers in the Union army from
the loyal states and territories, exclud-
inc the Pacific coasts

COLORADO.

The Republican victory in Colorado
is very decided and gratifying. Denver
City, which elected a Democratic Mayor
last Spring, gives Bradford, the Repub-
Iican candidate for delegate to Congress,
221 majority as far as heard FROM
Bradford is over 500 ahead, and his ma
jority in the Territory is estimated at
from 500 to 1000, the largest ever given
in a party contest.

The editor of the Herald still pro
fesses to be greatly distressed because
we have not answered certain ques-
tions in regard to the Legislature. We
are always happy to enlighten the ig-
norant, and refer our neighbor to the
files of the GAZETTE of June 26th
and July Sd, in which he will find ar
ticles answering his questions we think
to his entire satisfaction.

BOSTON, Sept. Is.
J. G. Blaine, Chairman of the Maine
Republican State Committee, telegraphs
from Augusta: 1--WE have carried EV-
cry CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
even where the vote is closest, by over
$500 majority. We have carried EVE
ERY COUNTY, regaining the three
that were carried by the Democrats last
year. We have elected EVERY SEN

have rolled up a popular majority for

good authority that Mr.. James Thomp-
