Another Radical Job.

The Radicals having pretty much
finished up the work of white-washing
the darkey, breaking down all s'prejn-
dice" against, and all distinctions on
account of race or color, aDe turning
their attention III another direction,
and are about 10 undertake another
little job. They have plan on foot
to disfranchise large portion of the
foreign element. For this purpose it
is urged upon Congress to amend the
Naturalization Laws that only United
States Courts, few, in number, and
which meet but twice year can issue
certificates of naturalization. There
are but two United States Courts in
Ohio. How many poor foreigners
woriiita. q le e able to come from the In
terror of the State, and spend d hum
dred dollars or SO, in order to get
their certificates, which can now be
obtained within a few minutes, in any
courtof record The object, and the
sole object, of those who propose d
change in the law, is to throw obsta-
sles in the way of naturalization that
viii, in large degrAe, defeat its aims.
An increase Of the time required,
from five to ten years, would hardly
produce more disastrous results to the
applicants fortheir papers. II would
be, however, far more honest and
manly. ssttf y -! eii5iii'ts Ss 3'''
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1870-02-24

THE Radicals are denouncing Chief
Justice Chase in unmeasured terms
for His late decision in the legal-tender
case, inwhich that act was held un-
constitutional SO far as it related to
debts created prior to its passage.
They now begin to fear that when the
case comes before the Court inv diving
the question, the whole act will
be Pronounced unconstitutional and
swept from the statute book. This
they regard as a great disaster, an I'M
suRerabie hardship for the people to
be required to pay the debts which
they contract with one smother in
specie. But then it is all right to
compel the people to pay the two and
a half billions of dollars to the bond
holders in gold, although the same
was, contracted in currency worth but
forty to sixty cents on the. dollar in
coin, That in the eyes of these Rad
icals is all very proper, They are very
tender of these pets, 55
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1870-02-24

There may perhaps, be, drawn a
distinction between the operations Of
ordinary robbers and the efforts now
being made to pay the fve-twenty
bonds tpar in gold, but it is not
founded on any principle. The only
difference is the greater magnitude of
the robbery. The question is almost
too plain to need elucidation. We
have eighteen hundred millions of
five-twenty bonds, for which the
holders gave in gold about forty-fve
cents on dollar, on the average. In
other words, the Government received
eight hundred and ten millions of dol
lars, no more or no less, if we adopt
the gold standard. This eight hum
dFed and ten millions was all we
promised to pay, we reserving the
right to give back the same currency.
Foolish as the country was when the
debt was created, it was not mad
enough to agree to give eighteen hum
dred millions of dollars for eight hum
dfed that had been loaned to it. or
our debt, therefore, one thousand
millions Of it only exists upon paper.
1t is altogether fictitious. The ques-
tion is whether we shall repudiate it,
for there is nothing to repudiate |!
How can one repudiate that which he
does not owe p sa5'ssi3 M. '..ia
Now, let us see what we have al
ready paid in interest to the holders
of this debt: First, there was the
foffyleight millions Of dollars year
paid upon the debt that we really
were bound to pay. That amounts in
seven years to say three hundred and
fifty millions Of dollars in gold. In
addition, we have paid, for six years,
six per cent. upon one thousand mil
lions fictitious debt. This is sum
equal to three hundred and sixty mill
ions. Then, for six years, we have
exempted the eighteen hundred mill
ions of dollars from State and local
taxation. This, at two per cent, is
thirty-six millions a year, or two hun-
dred and sixteen millions in six years.
Total already paid for interest and
taxes, nine hundred and thirty-six
millions of dollars! We have paid
thus in interest;a sum equal, to, that
which we borrowed. We propose
now to pay, them the eight hundred
millions of dollars that they loaned
US, but they refuse to accept it, and
demand eighteen hundred millions.
Was there any thing ever heard of SO
monstronsly extortionate? It is not
only right not to submit to it. but it is
the bonden duty of every honest man
to refuse tepay 2 cent if it is persisted
in, 0 Those who are engineering it in
Congress and through the press are SO
rasealiy dishonest that no, thief who
ever lived wopld suffer by compari.

Nor SETTLED.-The Constitutional
Convention of Illinois propose to sub
mit the question of e impartial" or
"negro suffrage" to vote of the
people. of that State for their decis-
ION. So it seems, that, although the
Legislature of that State has ratified
the iniquity, and the Radicals claim
the 18th Amendment as already a part
of the Federal Constitution, and the
control of the subject of suffrage is
transferred from the States to the
Federal Congress, the Constitutional
Convention of Illinois are not quite
willing give it up 80, but claim that
the people of that State have some
thing to say upon the subject as to
who shall be permitted to vote within
her borders. II "a SCI d ST.,
