NaGGre'S Speech.

We have an idea that f. H MOORE
harranCne to the people will consist OF
about this:
"FELLow CITIZENS: I'm 4 Congress-
man I'm President Of a National Bank.
I'm Director of another National Bank.
My money is invested in Bonds. 1t is
to your interest to pay my taxes and my
bonds in gold.
The welfare Of this country demands
that the Negro shall be allowed to vote.
I'm in favor of Negroes voting and hol-
ding office"

Rcdeesning the Bonds--EiOyv il Is
ft s. nnnn

Under the law large amount of the
$40 bonds arc now due and payable.
Secretary BouTwELL's plan of redemp-
ton is novel one, and one which eau
ses taxpayers to labor increasingly.
Eor example: A person arrives at the
Treasury Building with ten one thou
sand dollar bonds for redemption, upon
which the Government has yearly paid
from ten to fifteen per cent. interest in
currency and in exemption from taxa
ton. The principal is now demanded.
!, boutwell, counts out the ten thou
sand dollars, which his customer seizes,
and is about to depart But he is called
back by the Secretary, who tells him
that, although his bonds only call for
ten thousand dollars, he wi1l, in order to
strengthen the public credit, gire him
TWELVE THOUSAND TWO HUN
DRED DOLLARS. This sort Of busi-
ness is gong on every day at Washing
ton.
The grcenback law says that green
hacks are convertible into United States
six per cent. bonds at the will of the
holder. When the holder does will it
when he sends thousand dollars to
Washington to exchange for thousand
dollar bond-he is told that the exchange
cannot be made He must give two
hundred dollars more in order to perfect
it. Thus the money Of the people is repu-
diated: thus the lac is set at defiance, IN
order TO ogqrand,ze the home and the. for
eign 6ondholder.
Are the taxpayers willing to continue
this plundering? IF not, vote the Dem
ocratic ticket in October and, by so do
ing, assist in removing these perpetra-
tors Of wholesale fraud and corruption
from official position.

The Radicals are evidently hard up
for speakers. MOORE is President of the
National Bank at Athens and one of the
Directors of National Bank at Pome-
roy.
Of course, MOORE is in favor of op
pressing the taxpayers to pay his Bonds
in gold; and goes for Negro Suffrage.

pointing to teach them how to vote.

Tax 6ATION IN IHE
UNITED STATES,
ENGLAND,

and FRANCE,
The question of taxation is one that
interests the people Of the whole coun,
try. In the following we give the total
taxation in the United States, England
and France for the year 1858:
United States, SSOO,00O,O00
England, S4O,0OO,0OO
France, 3O0,000,000
Our taxation for the year 1868, reduc-
ed to gold standard, was equal to both
England and France.
The wealth of England and France is
FOUR TIMES AS GREAT AS OURS,
while their population is TWICE AS
LARGE.
England pays interest on e larger
debt than ours, and France maintains a
standing army of ii million men. Both
of these Governments have their corrupt
courts and royal dependents, not half
as corrupt as the present Administra-
ton, yet rith one. fourth of their wealth
and one half their population we pay

who pay the Taxes.

We heard the other day mechanic, OF
the Republican persuasion, remark
"They may talk of taxes as they please,
but we workingmen do not pay them.
We are not sorry to see them taxcd-to
see them fleeced out Of their surplus
earnings-to contribute literally to the
support of the Government"
We approached our friend, for he was
an acquaintance, and asked if he was Ger
tain of that; adding that if it was so, it
whould make a material difference in our
political issues. A conversation ensucd
in which was embodied, upon our part,
the following statements; Are not all
the taxes at last really collected out OF
labor? Is it not the basis of all our
wealth? The mechanics and laboring
men, who live in rented houses, do not
see the tax gatherer for State and local
taxes. They are paid by the landlord, =
who owns the tenement. They amount
this year, in this city, to nearly three
and-a-quarter per cent. The landlord
pays them, but does any one believe
that he does not collect them back from
the persons who occupy his houses? He
admitted this. The house cost SO much.
The interest on the investment amounts
to this, and the taxes yearly are so much
For what can | afford to rent it, and re-
ceive fair return on my original invest
ment, with the annual costs added? The
tenant, therefore, pays the rent at last
and not the owner Of the property
La Il similar manner the income tax
falls at length upon the same population
The capitalist who pays it, adds ito his
other taxes, and re-collects il from his
subordinates. '"a' ~
Under the tariff the process is quite as
well, if not more strongly marked. The
importer, in Boston, New York, and 9TH
er Eastern cities, in the first Instance,
pays the tariH'upon tea, coffee: sugar,
cloth, and other articles Of foreign growth
and make. But, after paying it, he adds
it to the first cost, collects it back from
the retail dealer, with fifty or a hundred
per cent. profit On the taxes, as well as
the prime cost, and he in turn receives
the same profit from the final customer
of his wares. SO
Thus, upon the broad back of labor, in
the end, nearly all the taxes fall. The
merchant, the manufacturer and the cap
italist find some means to recollect their
taxes from those with whom they deal.
But the laborer unfortunately, has none
upon whom he can shift the burden. It
falls upon him with powerful force.
More than all others, indeed, as the
prominently interested parties, the far
mer. mechanic and the laborcr are con-
cerned in frugal and economical Gov
ernment 1t is the design of the wealthy
to convince these classes that they are
exempt from taxation, when. in truth,
they bear nearly all its burdens. ALI
taxes fall upon food and clothing, and
there are thousands of the middle classes
who, in both of these respects, consume
as much as the families, Of VIM B. Astor
or of Stewart, or Comolore Vanderbilt,
the Cresus of America. We repeat,
the overwhelming taxes that now op-'
press us fall almost entirely upon the la
boring men. The capitalists and men Of
money wish to be exempt. ,u

of disaffection, not TO say Generalization

not do to count any longer on that The
nomination of Pendleton shows their
alarm; but it also means business"
The World responds to the above as

"For just once we see things with the

The Reputation ofTaxes.

Inc new 1OTk tribune, aIGer SOHc
abuse of Mr. George E. Pugh for his re-
marks at the Democratic ratification
meeting ON Saturday night week quotes
him thus: ''That we had never known
what it was to be taxed until after the
election of Lincoln. But now every bo-
dy is in distress to know how to make
their income meet their expenses. These
things could only be remedied by the de-
feat of the republican party" Adds:
''Please tell us, Mr.. George E. Pugh,
how the defeat of the Republican party
will lessen taxes? :? We are not Mr.. Pugh,
but, as one of his Democratic friends, we
will answer. In the first place the Dem
ocrats would take the taxes off of sugar,
tea, coffee, salt and other necessaries.
1t would not continue the income tax.
1t would reduce the tariff upon manufac-
tured articles, such as clothing and 9th
er fabrics, to one third or one-quarter
their presents duties. 1t would pay of
the bonds in greenbacks, and so speedily
reduce, and i'll a short time annihilate the
interest we pay upon them, which consti
lulcS lliOIC lllili OLC-GIliNi VI Jul SiitiiO
expenditures. This would be great re-
lief indeed to our overbnrdened tax pay
ers. The Democracy would repeal all
those restrictive provisions in the Inter-
nal Revenue Law which now constitute
such a drawback upon business enter
prise and industrial labor.
In order to make up for the taxes thus
removed from the people, it would save
thirty millions of dollars annually by dis
pensing with the National Banks and by
issuing greenbacks in their place. Then
they would tax the bon0s the same as
other property is taxed, and in that man
ner collect fifty millions of dollars. more
Here are eighty millions saved at once,
which is more than the Democracy, In
the days Of their power, required to run
the Government.
But this is not all. The Democracy
would cut down the army from forty or
fifty thousand men, with an array of Cen
eral officers sufficient for half million,
to eight or ten thousand. Instead OF
costing fifty millions, they would make it
cost about eight or ten millions. In the
navy they would make large reduction.
They would abolish the free negro board
ing house in the South, and oblige the
negroes, like the whites, to earn their
own living. Through these and by 9TH
er means the Democracy would consider
ably lessen taxes. The Tribune may
consider itself answered.-Cin., Eaqair-
