The cue of the Radical politicians
for the campaign is to be tic re1uc-
tion of taxes, which for ten years
they have so unsparingly laid on us.
There is undoubtedly some credit
due even to the malcfactor If he
makes restitutiou; and had the res
titution for which 50 much credit is
to be taken been made fairly and
sauarely, we should have been the
first to hail it with delight.
But the indeccncy and unfairness
with which our Congressional task
masters have made what they call
their "rcductions' is equalled and
even surpassed by their iDdecency in
claiming credit for them The Dem

Since the radicals claim that the
point Of economy has already been
reached, it is presumed that they do
not intend to make any further re-
duction in the expenditures of the
government. 1t would be superAu-
Gus to suppose that they intended to
be any more than "economical.'
We may, therefore, set down $17O,-

on the public debt. What do the
Taxpayers say to that? Does $170,-

come up to the standard Of honesty

Democrats have the old fashioned
idea still in their heads that this gov

expenditure of $10O, 100000 a year.

government would put these ideas in

the apprehensions Of our Illinois
brethren of the radical persuasion,
that to permit that control to pass
into the hands Of the democratic
party "would be public calamity"

trary, that the people and all the
rest Of the "public' would have good
reason to congratulate themselves on

Some Radical made the assertion
that not session Of congress b.: been
held since the war without reducing
taxation to a greater or less exteut.
Is this the truth ? Look at the facts.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1869, the people paid in taxes to the
government 1910, 943,747 For the
year ending June 80, 1870, they paid
o.0O0, 900, or thirty millions in
excess Of the previous year. The
internal revenne receipts alone show
an increase Of about fifty millions,
and yet the people are told that tax.
alton has been reduced, and that they
arc paying less now than at the close
of the war. The Presidential election
ofls6o showed about 4, 700, 600 votes
in the United States. For the five
years ending June 80, 1861, the Fed
eral taxes per capita, for each voter
were but S52.76, or an average of
but $1O.55 year. The. Presiden
tial election Of 1868 showed about
800, 900 voters. including the me-
groes. For the FIVE years ending last
June, the Federal taxes, per capita,
for each voter were $39o.37, or an
average of $7s.O7 year. Has tax
alton been reduced by the Radicals
since the war?

Tie people Of Iowa are asked to
vote for 9. 9. Cole for o"c cf the
Judges Of the Supreme Bench, at
the coming election, which is some
thug that never should have been DC
manded by amy political convention.
Judge Cole may do no particular
harm to any one as political shy
ster, but as one Of the Judges cf the
Supreme Court Of the State, in aa
dition to what he has already done,
he may inAict incalculable injury ur-
on the people of the State by his co:-

for some time that ho was Indirectly
interested in tax titles, and, to put
money in his pocket, he has recently
made decision which if adhered to

titles to real estate in Iowa. Re-

cause he has been nominated by their

the position. The judicial determine
alton of any question that may arise
under the constitution laws Of the
State, does not involve political is
sues; it does however, involve ques-
tions oflife. liberty, and property,
without regard to the political faith
of the individual whose rights arc in
jeopardy, and hence it becomes the
duty of the citizens to see to it. that
no corrupt Judge shall disgrace and
debase the highest position in our
State government. Judge Coles
character was known when he was a
practicing attorney, and while he
may not be to blame fon the dishon.
esty which inheres IN his nature, Ro.
publicans are to blame for placing
him in position which he cannot
