life was spent-removing to this city
about twenty years ago. His mind was

EKFRANcnTsEMENT OF NEGROES

Ethas been the custom of leading
Radicals to demand negro suffrage
on the ground that it was in ac-
cordance with the principle laid
down in the Declaration Of indie
pendence, that all men were created
equal, and that the services of the
negro in the late war Of the rebel
lion entitled them TO receive polit-
cal equality at the hands Of the ma
ton. But from the following cX-
tracts taken from an article in ihe
Cincinnati Gazette, the most infu-
entail Republican paper in the
West, opposing the annexation OF
Hayti, a negro State, to the Union,
because its people, the negroes, are
incapable of self government, it
will be seen that it never expected
the negro would enjoy the rights
which the party has been struggling
. to confer on him. lie waseNpcctcd
to assist the Radicals in the elec

a negro becoming law-makel
himself never was contemplated by
the party. The question of the ne
gro becoming law-maker is now
presented, and the editor revolts a
the idea He says:
We suppose that the reason which gov

NICK TAXES AND DEAR LIVING.

Commissioner Wells, in his Re-
port, proves most clearly that in
this country the poor are growing
poorer and the rich richer that
the laboring man and his family
cannot live as'well on his earnings
now as they could in 1860. The
Springfield Republican has an
article upon the growing rate of
expense to families, and cites as
evidence of its views the annual re-
port Of the Oneida community,
which shows a constant increase of
the cost of living for several years,
until it averaged S485 per week to
each person, in 1868. Assuming
that on the average, every Ameri-
can laborer supports four persons
besides himself, it averages the cost
of families at s25 per week. We
are certain, it says, shat the con-
dition of the masses of the Ameri-
can people is much worse in many
respects than in 1860. They live in
smaller and more crowded tene
ments; they eat poorer food; they
clothc themselves and their child
ren less decently, and find it more
and more difficult from year TO year
to maintain the social position they
once held. With this deterioration
ofcondition comes necessarily q GER
tain moral degeneracy, not SO easy
to describe, but painfully obvious"
Congressman Kelly, of Pennsylva-
MIA, in his speech against the report
of Mr.. Wells, affects high degree
of indignation at this view Of the
case, and declares If that is so,
then the country Is on the eve of
an aristocracy and of social con-
dition such as the world has never
seen" There is much truth in this
declaration Of Mr.. Kelley. But he
will not face the facts, and endeavor
to bend legislation in a different
direction. He and the party to
which he belongs are the champions
of class legislation. They are in
favor of a centralized government,
and the accumulation of power and
wealth in the hands of a few men.
How far they have progressed
in that direction in a few years
all can see and feel. The
States are mere playthings Of CEN
trail authority, and capital is fast
centering around the privileged
class. Large corporations are de
claring fifty and seventy-fve per
cent. on the capital employed, while
the employees are eating coarser
food, and wearing poorer clothing,
These are facts which cannot be
denied, and as they have followed
the elevation of the Radical party
to power, it is fair to conclude that
this disastrous change is iegiti-
mate offspring of their principles
and policy. The Radical party
has debauched the currency, in
creased debt and taxation, loaded
labor to an unfair degree, and al
lowed capital to escape with a
feather-w weight on its back, and the
result can be seen in the present
condition of the working classes.
The erich are grown richer and the
poor poorer" and the evil will in
crease until the Radicals are driven
from power, and the government
and business Of the nation restored
to their old ruts.

In the Political Interests of
the People

THR UNION AND AMERICAN will take the Con-
stitution and laws for its guide. adhering to the
teachings Of the founders Of our government. 1t
will guard with vigilance and frmness the
rights of all the people. urging upon all. mOdera-
ton. forbearance and a steady adherence to
and order. thereby enabling the people to
develop the resources and advance all the mate
rial and other interests of our State and com
mon country. Feeling that these are endan-
gered by the revolutionary schemes of the Radi-
cal politicians. who now hold the legislative
power Of the government, we shall abate moth
ing of our past.oppOsitiOn to theirmeasures.
