XIV Constitutional Amendment.

The Toledo Commercial, in COM
menting upon the pending constitu-
tional amendment, as to its connec-
ton with the present political can
vass in Ohio, takes the following just
views of the question
We have said that the Democrats
assume that this question comes up
again in the same shape as in '67 (;
but in this they are very much de-
ceived. There is scarcely a parallel
between the two cases, aside from the
fact that the same race is chiefly coz
cerned in the matter. In 1867 the
proposition was simply to extend suf-
frage in Ohio, and one strong point
made against it was, if passed, it
would hold out inducements for col
ored men to "food Ohio" from States
denying them the ballot. This cry
was rung from ore end of the State
to the other, and had no little effect
upon many. But no such objection
can lie against the present measure,
which is national in its bearing, and
cannot operate upon Ohio until it is
equally applicable to all other States.
Another important change in the
situation since 1867, is found in con-
nection with the condition of the
Southern States, At that time, Ten
nesee was the only one of those so far
reconstructed as to be represented in
Congress, and the question of their
becoming so restored was yet uncer-
tain. Whereas, now, all but three,
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
have been restored TO their proper
relations. and under the action of
Congress and President Grant, these
will l.be so at the opening Of the next
session. 1t is a fact pertiLent in this
connection, that each Of the ten
States thus restored will have endOrs-
ed the 18th amendment.
Still another important considera-
ton in this connection, is the fact
that at this time the approval Of but
three more States is needed to make
this amendment a part Of the organic
law of the land, and this will be
found in the action of the States
above named as soon to be recon
strueted, one of the conditions OF
which being such approval. Besides
these. Vermont and Rhade Island
two Of the strongest Republican
States in the Union, are yet to be
added, making an excess of two over
the requisite number. Thus it is seen
that the action of Ohio will in all hu-
man probability have no bearing
whatever on the question, since It Will
be decided in favor of the amendment
without her help. Hence, a vote
AGAINST that measure in this State
will have not the slightest effect on
the result. Impartial suffrage as a
national measure, is virtually estab-
Iished, and no resistance to it in Ohio
can avail to defeat it. This fact will
90 far towards dcpriving the mig
GER hating politicians of the Demo
cratic party Of their cherished rally
] ing cry.

Taxing of Bonds.

This from the North West is the most
honest and at the same time the most
damaging confession we have seen in
Democratic paper for some time
Speaking of the exemption of the
bonds from taxation, and the resolu-
tion of the Democratic State Conven-
tion to tax them, after declaring the
whole plan mistake, the following
reasons are given for the faith that is
In him:
1. Suppose the law was to be made
anew. The lender, if contracting
to submit to taxation, would estimate
his annual taxes, and add it to the in-
terest.
2. If he loaned it with the stipu-
lation that it was not to be taxed, or
if silent on the subject of taxation, it
would be exempted as q matter of
course and even if every member of
the Supreme Court we're Democrat,
the Court would be constrained to
follow the unbroken line of decisions
from the foundation of the Govern
ment to this day, and hold that the
State Governments can not tax Fed
eral bonds.
Therefore, the case stands: If the
bonds were contracted to be taxed,
the people would have to pay back in
excessive interest all that they receiv-
ed in taxes on this species of proper
ty; and if it were not a part of the
original contract that they should be
taxed no Court would impose taxes
upon them.
This proposal to tax bonds is is a
"policy dodge !" and is utterly decep.
tive. 1t is the suggestion of what is
called the conservatism of this hour;
and it will not stand the scrutiny of
investigation for a moment.
i: K x X X X x X x \
The outrage upon the people is not
that bonds are not taxed, for this has
been the fact ever since the Govern
ment was established. The outrage
is. that they wero issued to such a
stupendous amount, by iniquitous
means, and for bad purposes. Re-
PUDIATIcN is the word "
Now let the ne-horse Democratic
politicians who infest the street cor
ners, and go believing around the
county about taxation of bonds, an
swer who is right and who is wrong,
they or the North West.

Democratic Taxation Feast.
Everything to be Taxed.

"Col. Campbell then proceeded to
speak of the question of taxation.
He maintained that the expenses of
Government, Federal, State, County,
and Township, should be raised in
just proportions from the people, ac-
cording to their respective means to
pay. If a man is worth fifty dollars
let him be taxed on fifty dollars. If
he is worth a million let him be tax
ed on a million dollars. He would
tax the tnnle If tha-m mechanic, tho
cattle and farms of the farmer, the
goods of the merchant, the machin
cry of tho manufacturer, and the
bonds of the bondholder. He main
tanned the justice of this upon the
principle that taxes were for the sup
port of the Government which pro-
tects the property of all alike.-CoI.
Le10is ID. Cdmpbeps Speech at
Paddy's Run.
Such is the Democratic theory of
taxation, as proposed by one who is a
candidate for State Senator.
No tax upon the Injuries of the
rich, unless you tax the necessaries of
the poor. No tax upon whiskey and
tobacco unless you tax bread and
meat. No tax on beer unless you
tax milk. No tax upon the piano of
the rich man unless you tax the loom
of the poor widow.
No tax upon the costly furniture and
carpets of the millionaire unless you
tax the humble cot and necessary
furniture Of the poor man. No tax
upon the income of the speculator
and banker unless you tax the few
dollars which frugal industry has
placed in che Savings Bank, as a pro-
vision against accident or old age.
No tax upon the gold watch unless
you tax the old fashioned clock in
the corner.
No tax upon the foe carriage un.
less you tax the tools of the poor
shoemaker. No tax upon the splen-
did equipage unless you tax the plain
farm-wagon. No tax upon unpro-
ductive wealth unless you tax busy
machinery.
Taxpayers, how do you like the
prospect of Democratic taxation p
Farmers and mechanics, who, under
Republican rule, pay no taxes for the
support of the General Government
are you ready to assist in placing n
power those who assert beforehand
that you ought to be taxed on all you
possess?
| Do you believe the party honest
which is now so clamorous about enor'
nous taxation, when they themselve:
propose system of levying take:
which would subject you to burdens
which you are not now called upor
to bear2
Here we have their own authorita-
tive declarations as to what they will
do in the event of the Government
being placed in their hands. Are
you ready and willing to assist then
and thereby insure the taxation they
propose?
Are you not immeasurably better
situated now, under Republican rule
with all the burden of State and
County taxes, than You would be with
the additional taxation proposed by
this same party, who make the hypO
critical pretention of being the pool
mans friend. and yet only wait then
opportunity of crushing him under 4
weight of taxes from which he ha!
heretofore been exempt?

CAREY AND LABOR
Why he Was Not a Farmer.
A "Reminiscences of His Youth.

We believe the following story has
never been published:
In his youthful days, Samuel Fen
ton Carey lived with his father-he
was his fathers boy, in fact. His
father was a farmer and wished Samu.
Ibis darling bOy,to follow in his foot
steps, and gain his living from the
breast of mother earth. The smart
youth hardly wished to do SO, but de-
sired to live by his wits. However,
to satisfy the wishes of his father, he
continued to work as directed ; all the
time itching for leave of absence
We say he continued to work-by
which we mean that he worked when
under his fathers eye. 1t appeared
to be hard work for him to labor, and
he seemed to much prefer examining
himself in the glass, and to be brushing
back from his forehead his luxuriant
hair, and putting it behind his ears
Then, as now, he delighted in wear
ing his hair long, and seemed to think
he possessed an intellectual look.
He continued to labor-in his way
"a way that eventually threw him
into another sphere Of life.
Samuel always mana sed to shrink hi:
work. and did it SO adroitly that his
father, in his grumLling moods, was
wont to say that "that boy Samuel
required more looking after than he
was worth" ExpOstulation Tas in
vain, and the crisis came. This was
the crisis:
A minister was visiting the elder
Carey, one day, and after talking or
different subjects, the latter invited
his visitor to go over the farm. II
their walk they came to the field
where Samuel was engaged in drag.
ing in seme oats. For a team he
had yoke of oxen, and to drive then
he had beech "gad," some ten fee
long. When the minister aecostet
the labOring boy, he was only toe
glad to stop work. "Well, Samuel
[ see you are engaged in the mos
noble of all human labor, husbandry
You sow little aad reap much. d.
you not enjoy work of that kind ?
Samuel threw back the long hair from
his forehead, Strengthened himself up
and in a drawing tone answered
"Oh yes, l kinder like this work
1t amt very hard to drag, specially
with oxen, cause they walk slow
though too it's awful hard work tt
carry this CAD" Samuel" exclaim
ed the old man, his patience entirely
gone, "you jest unhitch them cattle
and I'll send you to school and see i
you have more wit than muscle. I've
stood your laziness lcng enough
Hard work to carry that CAD 1
you wasn't past redemption in lazi
ness, I'd make you carry the mark
of it on your back"
And ever since that time Samue
has been going to and fro through
the earth living on his wits and tn,
want of wit in other people. Jus
now he is a Democratic champion
aud is living at Democratic expense

Elections.

With unprecedented carelessness,
We have neglected to mention the re-
cent elections in Vermont and Maine.
OF course, both have gone Republi-
can as usual, but the result is partic-
ularIy encouraging in the latter, from
the fact that Temperance ticket was
in the field, from the effect of which
upon the Republican vote, the Dem
ocracy expected to carry the State.
Our majority was somewhat cut down,
and from that Democratic papers ar
que that they achieved-almost-a
victory. The New York Argus,
paper of the most intense Democratic
character, reads papers that are do
ing that, the following lesson
"It is pitabIe to witness the per-
verted ingenuity with which some of
our Democratic contemporaries, whose
zeal appears to be greater than their
wisdom, endeavor to wrest victory
from the jaws of defeat by the adroit
manipulation of figures. The stupen-
dous mathematical feats achieved in
this line by the World have done it
almost as much damage with sensible
men, who admire its ability and
would gladly give it their confidence,
as its extraordinary change of base in
the last Presidential campaign. For
Democrats to talk of gains in the re-
cent Maine election is sheer folly.
We have gained nothing there.
Through a division in the ranks of
their opponents, our Democratic
brethren were able to send few more
of their own number to the Legisla-
ture than usual, but this meager mi
nority will be utterly poWerless. The
State Government is thoroughly Re
publican still, in all its branches.
The proposed Fifteenth Amendment
will be ratified, and a pronounced
Radical, will be sent to the Senate in
place of Fessenden."
