by his untaxcd interest.
The favorite thieves In Office are

The prostitutes who live in the
coat-tail pockets Of pious Congress

The carpet bag snoopers at the
South are richer by their stealings
from the blacks and whites.
But what have the people gained by
Grants administration 7
Taxation !!
And days run into wceks-weeks
into months-months into years, as
the country is being run in debt, as
the administration strides with reck-

speculative, ignorant, deceitfnl greed.

welfare of our country Grant is
President.
The Republican party is in power
The present administration is about
closing books for the year.
Who is the better of?
Not the millions who toll TO add to
their happiness-to the country's
greatness--to the beauty of their
homes-tho adding to the fruit Of
their genius, labor, economy and
enterprise. The plowholders-thc
laborers-the farmers Of the West
the operatives in mills-thc miners
and loorkers for wealth! These men
are no better off in the great aggre-
gate.
But the bondholders are richer.
The President is the richer from turn
ing the Executive mansion into a
"Gence" for stolen property-for
making his office a broker-shop-for
making his administration a huge
black. mailing swindle.
The thieves of the great God and
morality party are richer, for the
rocipient Of their gifts has protected
them by law and by bayonet. The
stolen by Grants ofiice-hold-
ers from the people have made his
ther.cormorants fatter, bat the
people have as their portion
Taxation,
The national bank owners who re. |
ceive interest on their untaxed bonds |
interest on their currency untaxed
profits on their stamps and gold for
paper, are the richer by millions upon
as they will grow richer till /
we have n uniform currency given us
for The labor.robbing bonds, and that
in sufficient amount 10 carry on the |
business Of the country.
What has Grant done for the
Nothing!
His war was but an inhuman
butchery Of poor men, of honest men,
of patriots, to enrich army thieves,
,pcculators, bondholders and cock
eyed plumber hunters generally.
His butchery of troops-his squaD.
lcring of millions did not restore the
Union Then where did it benefit
Ihe nation? Did not lessen taxation
Then where did it benefit the people
Did not equalize the burden Of taxa
lion. Then where did it protect
abor? Did not exempt those who
ionght and were wounded Then
where did it benefit, reward, or en-
courage palriotismg Did not give
,eaco TO the nation Then where did
I closer bind interests, friendly till

His war was a swindle-his great
less a delusion. His success in the
strength of his armies, toss.

lrawn by an insane, reckless, fanatic,
nfuriated national mob over the very

heir backs TO the draught and leaving
legacy of debt 10 their children, while
