one half of the representative being
men who were not members last year. The

The Views of Alexander Hamilton.

The question whether the general government
can rightfully rob its creditors by taxing It's
bonds, was up, it seems, during the Presidency
Of General Washington, Alexander Hamilton
was then Secretary Of the Treasury, and very
able and successful Secretary, and. he had some
very definite IDEAS on the subject some one
has looked up his argument and Reproduced It
IN a YER, valuable and timely contribution to
'he d scussion Of the subject now in progress,
"hl' h we copy elsewhere.
Mr.. Pendleton, who will be Mr. Seymour's
Secretary Of the Treasury if, by any ill-starrei
fortune for the Republic, the Democrats should
carry the coming election, Is making speeches in
which he declares that he would have the gen
eral government give its express consent to the
taxation Of the L. 5. bonds by the State govern
ments, adding that he does d" not believe there Is
anything in the law, or the nature Of the case.
amounting to contract, that the government
bonds now extant shall not be taxed above Ger
tain rate, and that - if the general government
cannot legally give its consent to State taxation
Of its bonds after they are once sold, then the
general government ought itself to tax its bonds
to an amount equal to the average tax, both
federal and State, levied On other property"
Against such declarations as these, the views
Of statesman ike Hamilton, who, in his time,
revived and firmly established the credit of the
United States government On a very different
fnsneisr theory and practice. may well c st,

The Democratic Ia, Gatherer.

The taxes now levied by Republican Con-
sryss are confined to spirits, fermented liquors
and few articles which cannot be classed as
necessities. Congress has relieved tie country
Of the tax on over ten thousand different articles
in common use, and the total decrease has
already relieved the property of the country Of
two hundred millions Of taxation. and will re-
lieye it helceforward Of over one hundred and
fifty million dollars annually But the Demo
cratic platform calls for a. Equal Taxation on
every species Of property according to It's real
value including Government bonds and other
public securities In other words Democratic
policy would restore all the taxes, and impose
additional burdens on "ererg other species Of
property
The Albany Evening Journal describes point
clly the operation Of this rule If Seymour is
circ,ci, the Democratic tax gatherer will stand
on every street corner and road crossing in the
