The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1870-08-11

THE South has ''red-hot press that
turns out sort of Democracy even worse
than the Chicago article of that name.
One of these journals, that is influential
in its State and section, takes the follow
ing view of the European war:
''There is another and much greater
hope looming up in the distance, and
that is Southern independence For be
1t known we Tour individual self have
never yet given up this idea. We still
insist that the North and South car
not permanently and peacefully i've to-
gether in the same household! While
this is true, it is equally true-having
been demonstrated-tha we can not I'M
aided, achieve our own independence.
Should Europe, however, engage in uni
versal war, European possessions in
America must become involved and
through these complications the United
States must inevitably be drawn in the
contest. Then it will be seen and known
that the South will join fortunes with
any European power that will guarantee
us freedom from tie thraldom of the
North"
This is one of the more candid of the
men who would control the destinies of
this republic, if the Democratic party
should be restored to powerl

AMERICAN SYMPATHIES.

Germany and the German americans
have every reason to be satisfied with the
spirit of the Anglo-Americans in the
present German-FreHch war, for, without
any special pains having been taken to
enlighten public opinion, these affairs
have developed themselves since the
commencement of the conflict in such
manner that among all really educated
native born Americans, among all such on
whose judgment any real value can be
placed, ninety-nine out of every hundred
are for Germany, the cause of Justice and
public welfare and against the brutal,
Celtic-Romanie autocracy Of the French
Emperor.
The one fact, that the most cor
ruptible sheet of the North, as void of
honor as of shame, the Chicago Times,
which called the assassin Booth martyr
and our murdered President Lincoln
turdnt, comes out in support of the
French butcher, is sufficient to place the
sympathies which the French find in
America, in their proper light. birds
of feather flock together" 1t is a nat
ural affinity which places the scamp of
France, who waded through the blood of
10000 peaceable men, women and chill
dren to the throne, and those worse than
beasts who martyred to death l 300 brave
sons OF the North in the slaughter pens
of Andersonville. into one and the same
confederation.
Just as that man is worthless, who has
no enemy even among the bad and mean,
so it would be an evil sign for the cause
of Germany. if such dishonorable scamps
in America as the friends of Booth,
Surrat and Capt. Wirth were to be founu
on the side of its supporters. To such
sympathies the French are perfectly
welcome. True Americans are with
Germany, to establish and strengthen
American Institutions in Germany.

The Secret Treaty.

The hypocrite on the throne Of France
has overlooked two things in this affair,
with which he now wants to compromise
Bismark, which testify decidedly against
him, and which must convince the most
single-minded that he is the one who
has been. and still is telling a falsehood
about that treaty In the first place, we
must observe that his secret proposition
contains only provisions which were to
the advantage of has dominion, and un-
der the circumstances it would be just as
absurd to suppose that Bismarck could
make such propositions to France, as
that Napoleon would have refused to &C
cept them.
In the next place, that proposition is
deposited in the archives of the Prussian
Government in the hand writing of the
French Ambassador, and that it has new
er been the custom of a French Ambas-
sador to become the scribe of Prussian
Minister. In spite of these facts, Napo
leon insists that the treaty was proposed
by Prussia and declined by France.
No honest man can doubt that Napo-
leon is once more telling falsehood and
that he is only defaming his own reputa-
ton, if such thing is still possible.
The time for disclosing these Napoleon
ic intrigues has been well selected. Prus-
sia has thus far kept silent for the sake
of maintaining Peace if possible. The
present was the appropriated to reveal
the perfdy of the Emperor, which will
not fail to show this robber chief in his
proper light to the powers of Europe and
the world at large. Napoleon is doomed
20 destruction by his own contemplate
acts of perfdy and treason.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The reduction of
the public debt for July amounted to the
enormous sum of $l7,O34, 1874. The
large monthly decreases of the public
debt which have characterized the ad-
mini stration of President Grant. and
which have done more than anything
else to strengthen the public credit, en-
title the administration to the confidence
OF all honest men. The monthly de-
crease of the debt will doubtless hereaf
ter be much less, owing to the reduction
of taxes at the recent session of Con-
gross. The New York Tribune has ar
ranged the following interesting table.

InternaI Revenue Taxes.

The law passed just before the adjourn
ment of Congress will reduce the amount
efInternal Revenue taxes about $50, 0O0,-
600, We notice some Of its important
changes.
The tax on dividends by railroads,
banks and insurance companies expired
on the frstof the present month. The
five per cent. tax on the interest on rail
road bonds was reduced two and half
per cent. at the same time. The FIVE per
cent. tax on salal les of government Off
GERS is off from the first of August, and
the difference to that date between five
and two and half per cent. is to be de-
Quoted next spring.
The following taxes cease from and at
ter the first of October next; All taxes
imposed upon carriages, watches, piano
fortes, yachts, billiard tables, and gold
and silver plate together with the taxes
upon boats, barges, flats, legacies and
SUGGESTIONS, passports, and gross receipts
of railroads, insurance and other compa'
MES; the tax on sales except that paid
by stamps Croker tax, together with
the stamp tax on all receipts, on promis~
sary notes for less than one hundred dol
lar, on transfers of mortgage, where the
original paper is properly stamped, and
on canned fish.
The new tariff goes into effect on the
first of December next.
After the first of May, 1871, the special
or license tax now imposed upon all
kinds of dealers. physicians. lawyers,
brokers, claim agents, etc., will be dis
continued, except that paid by distilers,
brewers, cigar and tobacco manufacturers
The law is construed to mean that as
these taxes have already been paid in
advance for the current year, up to May
LIST, 1871, they will not be collected again.
The income tax will not be collected
next spring, and in the spring of 1872,
at the rate of two and half per cent.
$4,000 and house rent being exempted.
The incomes taxed will be those derived
during the two years ending January
first, 1872.
The taxes on spirituous and malt liz
uors and tobacco are unchanged.

dent is called

The Prussians have captured the first
cannon, the first flag and the first fortress
of the war and have broken the enemy s
communications, and made an important
Judgement upon one side of his quadria-
teral. From these advantages, it is
rashly inferred that the Crown Prince
will actively take the aggressive, and
strike vigorously for Nancy, on the south
ern line between Strasbourg and Metz.
Several fortrcsses still lie between the
Prussian army and Nancy. The most
formidable of these is at Hagenau, town
of ten thousand inha bitants, on the
northern railroad, between Metz and
Strasburg; and before Nancy can be
reached, either this or Neiderbronn, a
village higher up on the same line, must
be taken.
