Plain Questions and Answers.

In what part of governmental ohliga-
tiol,s have the Radical party developed
the American people. and shown their
ability To exceed that of any other nation
on earth. In the humbug Of paying
high taxes!
Why do we have to pay such high
taxes: That rich Radicals. who have u
monopoly in the National hanks. and in
New England manufactures. may have
plenty of money 10 live in splcndor. AMI
spend in elections. to maintain the Radi-
sal party in power.
Who PAYS the highest tax IN proper
tom? The poor man, who has Ia buy
faxed tDo,s and shoes. made out of taxed
heather. and taxed clothing of all kinds.
and taxed plowS, harrowS. and all other
articles in which iron j. consumed.
Who goes nearly scot free of taxes !:
The rich Radical bond holder and man
ntacturcr. whose l.omds are exempted
from taxation. and who wear clothes
made of fine wool and silks. which are
taxed but lightly. who labor not with
i,aGir hands. and consequently do not
use taxed farming implements.
What party proposes To Keep up this
state OF affairs. The present Radical
party. who have forced negro suffrage
upon the country. contrary to the wish
of tho people. and who hope by the use
OF TIM ignorant negro vote To still ttrtli-
cr p,s,k,ng their power.
What party PROPOSES to reverse tli
state OF things The Democratic party
under whose guidance the country flour
i-lrd ior half century happy and
lightly taxed and who hope by the aid
of Intelligent white votes To be able &c
,lircc legislation for the good of til,
masses.

The story of an Old Maid.

! know the story Of her life,
Too sad and yet too common;
She might have been ere now wife
A happy, honored woman.
But though she loved him well, her heart
Was faithful 20 another;
She broke those later ties apart
Because ste loved her mother.
He turned away with angry words
And sadly wounded feeling
Doubling the love which was above
Al power Of words revealing
De went whore wealth with naughty hand
Her golden standard carried,
And mid the tair and youthful band
He chose airesh, and married
II must have been heavy load
She had. with none to guide her,
Along seeming endless road
With no young heart beside her.
She turn a, and left behind her there
Youths dream and youthful beauty;
Hrucei1gth she SAID her feet must tread
The higher path Of duty.
She loved, and lived noble life
OF daily cares and trials
on p,aceul calm in toll aud strife
OF v0iccless self-deuials,
So lives she ou this side the stream,
But when she gains the other,
shall not her crown more brightly beam
Because she loved her mother.
