sugar, spices, fruits, aud the like.
TO show you how perfectly hollow
and hypocritica are all these Demo-
cratic professions, we refer you to this
vote on the final passage of that bill.
There is the test One vote in favor of
reducing taxation is worth a hundred
speeches in favor Of it. They have
made hundreds of speeches, but when
the time came to vote they either vo-
ted the other way or were not there.
They demand this change to Demo-
cratic rule so that corrupt and dishon-
est men may be removed from the pub
lie offices; but their last National Con-
vention indOrsed the administration of
Andrew johnson, who not only refused |
to remove, but on the contrary became
notoriously, unyieldingly and almost
aVowedly the champion, protector and |
ally of that army of villains of his OWE
appointment, whose frauds upon the
Treasury, shown to him by sworn tes-
timony, with name, place, time and |
circumstance given, amounted to per- |
haps hundreds of millions per year, and |
rendered the most important of the |
revenue laws a dead letter.
These very frauds under Johnson,
George W. Morgan charges on the Re-
publlcans because he was once Upion |
man. .-r" r af.. "h
DEMOCRATS VOTE AGAINST REDUCED TAX
We want to call your attention to
the fact that, Notwithstanding our DEM
ocratic friends are complaining contin-
ually about the tariff, not one of them,
in either branch of Congress, voted for
this bill that reduced taxation eighty |
millions of dollars-not one them The
work has been done, but they did not
do it it has been done by the Repub-
lican party in Congress. Some of you
will wonder at that--that these DEM
ocratic politicians, who have been talk
ing SO earnestly about the burden of
taxation, when brought to the test not
one of them would vote for the bill on
the final passage! The most of them vo-
ted against it, and some of them dod-
ged; but if there is one man that voted
for it we do not know it,
... REDUCTION IN TAXATION. .r.a
Is it not audacity in them to deny that there
has been any reduction in taxation, while the
following reductions were made, with the Dem
ocrats in Congress voting against them?
The taxes have been reduced,
BY act OF July 49, lS06........... S65 900 900 40
BY act of March 2, 1867 67,.-..~"Y,"~. 40,0009eQ 90

By act Of July Ii, lSIO............ 55,2l2,0OO 90
Net total reduction internal taxess22S 2l2, 700 90

The net proposed decrease of duties
on imports by the act of July
IA, 1870, is 2j,636yS2I 30
Aggregate annual decrease, $252sIsS27 80
by Republican legislation in five years.
Notwithstanding which, the public debt
has been steadily and rapidly reduced,
all current liabilities promptly discharg-
ed, permanent Improvements, as public
buildings, forti6cations, river and 'har-
Dor, have been amply provided for, and
the public credit materially appreciated.
The Republican party needs DO high
er tribute to its economy, wisdom, and
fidelity, than these facts present. They
put to shame the malicious talsehoods :
of the opposition, and stand out in hon
orable contrast to the many schemes of
reputation which have been advocated
by the Democracy. ,s".
The receipts into the Treasury dur.
ing the last eighteen months of Johnson
were S87 ,213,765 60 less than during
the first eighteen months of Grants ad-
The expenditures of
Johnson during the same time were
$82. 853 900 n more than during the
same, eighteen first months of Grants
rule making the difference against the
Democratic administration of Johnson,
and in favor Of the Republican adminis-
uation of Grant, in eighteen months, of
$40, ,O66, 826 81. This must be a
strong lnducement to change back
again from Republicanism to Democ-
TaCy' DulluS the sdLio CiihS VOhhsou
reduced the national debt only 81 1888,
AGO 81; Grant in his first eighteen
modths reduced it Sl69, 542, lO9 60,
and over S143, 100000 of this payment
was on the interest bearing debt, al
though Morgan and VOORHEES, say no
interest bearing debts have been paid
bv Grants administration.
The above statements are certified by
the Secretary of the Treasury-there-
fore, reliable. ~ .l
The last fifteen months of Johnson,
and first fifteen Of Grant, as appear on
the books of Commissioner Dolano,
show equally well. ~ 2' p
