OFFICI AL CITY g. COUNTY PAPER
INEQUALITY OF TAXEs.


When Senator Morton rested the chiei
claim of the republican party to the conf
deuce of the Senate of Indiana on the
reduction of taxes he certainly had not
examined the trick of his Eastern colleagues.
II is the last resort when an able statesman
who has enjoyed the confidence OF his state
can lsud its betrayal Therefore we feel
certain that Senator Morton was innocently
Ignorant of what he so strongly applauded.
We,bave shown that in the reduction of
internal taxes. one single district the Third
of Massachusetts was relieved double as
much as the great State OF Indiana The
Western Congressmen who had the power.
but went blindly with the tricky Eastern
monopolists, either betrayed their State
wifully or were too blind to see the Eastern
tricks
We will to day further show to the State
of Indiana, and to the Senator Morton in
particular, quite a new phase in this glorious
reduction of taxes. After the first of May.
next we shall have an internal revenue tax
on only two articles, viz, spirits and tobacco o
From these sources We expect to raise
something like one hundred million dollars
We will now show that, although single
district in Massachusetts is relieved double
as much of taxes as the State of Indiana
when taxes are removed by Congress, when
taxes are left on to be paid the State of
Indiana is made to contribute more than the
six New England States, including Massa-
chusetts. And here are the facts:
During the fiscal year ending June 30,
1869, the following revenue was collected
from the subjoined States upon spirits and
tobacco:

Was Senator Morton aware that in future
the internal taxes of bis State will bear a
heavier burden than the whole SIX New
England States? Was he aware that the
Eastern monopolis,s were playing the game
OF f"Heads | win and tails you lose" with bis
State
There can be no doubt that Indiana does
not consume either the whole of the spirits
or tobacco she produces. They are there
fore to her articles of pure manufacture, the
same as woollen blankets, cedar buckets,
and her pins are to Massachusetts, and
Connecticut. The burden has been taken
off from every conceivable article manufac-
tured IL the East, while on the only articles
such as tobacco and whiskey-which the
West and South manufacture it is left, and
the chief internal tax in future ia shifted
from the rich East, overlooking with capital,

der the new regulation of lpaylng pensions by
checks drawn to the order of pensioners, to be
delivered to them 10 person, or forwarded by
mail to their post flee address as given in
their respective vouchers, the Pension Bureau
is making arrangements to furnish each Pen.
sion agent in the country with special pension
checks. of new design, to be drawn on such
U. S. Repositories as will best convene the
pensions paid at any given agency. There are
fifty nine different agencies located id the diff
ferent States and Territories, all of W oich are
to De provided with special pension check,
and many of them with two one to be drawn
upon the local depository, aud one upon some
one ofthe large cities, as Boston, New York,
Cincinnati. &c, acc riding to the loo ality of the
pension agency. So that pensioners may be
sure of receiving undoubted and convenient
funds in payment Of the amount due them at
each quarterly payment, which takes place on
and after the 4th days of March, June, Sep
tember and December in each year,-that shall
be easily negotiable in any part of the couu-
try.
These checks are of a new and beautiful pat
tern SO distinctive in character that there can
be no doubts as to their genuineness, by any
party receiving them, supple ment of which
has been shown US by Hall L. Davis E>q, of
this city who has secured the contract for fur.
nishins them to the government, requiring the
delivery of about million checks at one tine,
and involving therefor the use of about four
tons of paper manufactured specially for this
work.
Mr.. Davis has within the short space of less
than two months completed all the arrange
ments for executing this contract, and is now
ready to deliver these checks as fast as they
can be printed, one case of which has already
been forwarded by mail to the Commissi oner
of Pensions.
