The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-10-08

The receipts from internal revenue
during the first quarter of the pres
ent fiscal year were ten millions lOr
% per cent? greater than during the
corresponding period of 1868. This
is attributable simply to an honest
and efficient administration OF the
law, for during the interval not only
have imposts not beer increased, but
one tax, that on manufacturers, has
been altogether abolished. Last year
the tax collected on only 6,7OO,OOO
gallons of whisky; for this year over
62,0OO,OO0 gallons have been return
ed as subject to duty. This again
because the revenue is now none Ell
ciently collected. If the Democracy
want to make a question upon the
success Of Grants Administration,
we certainly are willing.
The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-10-08
Look To The Legislature.

Whilst the Democrats are ostensi-
bly, making their greatest effort for
the State ticket, their hardest work is
really for the election of Democrat
ic Legislature. They have seen by
the experience of the last two years
that, whatever may be the political
complexion of the Executive branch
of the State Government, the posses
sion of the Legislature is good thing
for the Democrats. The possession
of the next Legislature they rightly
esteem to be a still better thing, as it
can be turned to good account in Civ
ing the Congressional delegation for
the next ten years to the Democracy.
On the Legislature to be elected
this year devolves the duty Of re-dis-
tricting the State. "Gerrymander-
ing" is q science not unknown to
Democratic managers, and he must
have unbounded confidence in the
self-denying virtues of Democratic
politicians who does not believe that
this opportunity for making things
comfortable for the party would not
be improved to the utmost. The
State of Ohio is strongly Republican;
najorities on State issues has proven
this beyond controversy. But skill
fnl Hgorrymander" could so combine
the counties into Congressional dis
tricts as to give, with almost absolute
certainty, large proportion of the
districts to the Democrats, aud make
all of the remainder, outside of the
Republican strongholds in the Re-
serve, at least doubtful.
Ths success of the Democrats in
electing their legislative tickets two
years ago has given them confidence
in the present campaign, and conf
dence goes a great way toward sue
cess. However much they may be
divided on national issues, and with
whatever dissatisfaction a portion of
them may look on the head of the State
ticket or on the platform of the party,
there is sufficient unanimity for prac.
teal purposes on the subject ofelect-
ing their legislative candidates. For
that end they are working quietly
like beavers, whilst making the great
est noise over Pendleton and general
issues.
We are not given to idle alarms,
but we assure our Republican readers
that unanimity and hard work are re-
quired to prevent the return of a
Democratic State Legislature, whose
action will be more misshievous and
lasting than that which has disgraeed
the State for the past two years. All
other considerations with regard to
the Legislative candidates must bend
to the one great fact, that on the next
Legislature depends in great measure
the complexion of our State represen-
tation in Congress for the next decade.

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-10-08

The New York World, the leading
Democratic paper of the country and
the organ of the National Democrat
ic Committee, has come out boldly
in favor of paying the bonds in gold.
Its latest argument on this point is
worthy of far more than a passing
notice. In late issue the World,
after denounoing the Ohio Coz tha'
head plan of issuing a stock of, Il
greenbacks with which to pay The
bonds, says that "if the debt is paid
in greenbacks without materially in
creasing the currency, it can be done
only by heavy additions to the taxes
and the people do not want the taxes
increased even for the sake of paying
off the debt in greenbacks. Before
greenbacks can be paid out of the
Treasury to the bondholders, they
must be got into the Treasury by
taxation; and the impatient desire Of
the Democratic party to reduce the
taxes will prevent the greenback theo.
ry from doing any damage in that
sense. Every man of intelligence
knows that the burden of the deb
upon this generation can be dimin-
ished only by reducing the rate Of
interest. The refunding of the debt
by the issue of new bonds is the geat
practical question which is destined
to eclipse the greenback controver.
Isy.",

able to pay, and, under President
Grant, are actually paying off their
debt at the rate of 500, 900, 900 per
year, and after eight years of such
administration the entire national
debt will be reduced to one-half what
1t now is, or only twelve hundred
million dollars.
The weak pretense that the debt
can not be borne is certainly left with
out support, and if the people of
Pe1nylvania believe the Democratic
cry, that the political campaign this
year is the trial of President Grants
administration before them, they can
not fail to render their verdict in his
favor.
