Meglecting tho People.

The Radical party has been in posses.
sion of the Government for the last ten
years, during which time hundreds OF
millions of dollars Of the peoples mon
ey has been stolen and squandered.
Millions Of acres Of the public lands
have been given away to railroad rings,
thus creating huge monopoies whose
area of territory is greater in extent
than kingdoms.
They have collected nearly enough
by internal revenues, and by sale of the
public lands to ex.inguish the public
debt.
They have created an army Of office
holders, eating out the substance Of the
people.
They have passed unjust and oppres
sive laws, in opposition to and in spite
of the will of the people
They have ignored the rights of the
people aud legislated for m0nopolies,
in opposition to all former theories of
the government.
They have Iegislated against the
rights and privileges Of American la
Dor, by encouraging Pagan immigra-
tion to this country, thereby substituting

workshops, to the exclusion of Ameri.
can artisans and workmen, who must
find other employments or starve, be-
ing unable to compete with laborers
who can subsist week on a few cents
worth Of rice, and the privilege of
catching rats.
The labor interest of this country is
waking up, as may be seen by the mon
ster meetings of workingmen in the
large cities. They see it is tine that
the people should arise in their strength
to arrest the evils now threatening our
CO untry. Do not forget this: that the
Radical party is responsible for the
wrongs and injuries the people are now
groaning under, will so continue unless
they are hurled from power. Let all.
therefore, who are in favor of an honest
and just administration Of the laws, an
economical expenditure of the public
money, remember that the only way to
do this Is to vote for Democratic men
and measures. .-Er.

High Taxes,

Everybody complains OF high taxes.
The merchant, the manufacturer, the
mechanic, the laborer, feel the burdens
and groan under them. Property Is
loaded to the waters edge with govern
mental exactions, and labor robbed Of
its just value by the iron hand of the
tax.collector. Each year secs an increase
in the demands Of the party in power
The taxes paid in 1870 will be in excess
OF those demanded ia 1869, in the large
sum Of thirty millions OF dollars, and
there are good reasons to believe that
they will Inc largely augmented in the
coming year. The internal taxes cOlIec
ted in 1869 amounted TO $3.50, l2i, 1876
those Of 1870 will exceed one hundred
and eighty four million Qf doddrs, while
the people from 1851 to 1865. during the
entire period of the war, paid only seq
ten hundred and ninety-t,Co million Of
dollars In taxes. Since the close ofthe war
they have been called upon to pay two
thousand three hundred and forty three
million of dollars. Thus the stream is
increasing with fearful velocity. In a
time OF peace, with a small army, anda
navy reduced to the peace basis, the col
lections from the people, in the shape OF
taxes, are heavier than when there were
half a million os men in the field, and
the war valve open to its fullest capaci
ty. Why is this? Why should taxes
be more onerous now than during the
war? Why should Income tax agents
poke their noses into every mans busi-
ness, and collectors their hands into ev
cry mans pockets? Because the gov
ernment is corrupt, wasteful and ex.
travagant. Because an army of Office
holders is quartered upon the treasury
to eat out its substance. These are the
leaks in the treasury boat which, if not
plugged, will founder the nation into a
sea of absolute bankruptcy. They can
be stopped if the masses will act togeth-
er at the polls. Elect majority of
Democrats to the Forty.second Con-
gress, and in twelvemonth the taxes
will be reduced to some extent, and
such a broad and general system of re-
trenchment and economy introduced as
will make further reduction certainty.
The poor man now gives one days labor
in five to the government, in the guise
Of taxes and increased value of all arti-
cles used by himself and his family.
The capitalism is squeezed in all ways
by the government, and merchants and
manufacturers find it difficult to make
small per cent. upon their invest
ments, owing to demands made upon
them by tax gatherers. All classes are
interested in this tax question, and
they should act en- mdsse against party
which, in time Of peace, levies and
collects greater than war taxes.-Er-

THE TEHUANTEPEo CANAL-The
chief engineer of the Tehuantepec Ca
nal Company has just made his report
on the subject Of the feasibility of the
route surveyed by him in company
with Commissioner deputed by Mex-
leo. He states that no tunnel will he
required on the ent ire route, and that
no deep cuttings will be necessary. The
sum NIT level-tive miles long--passes
through a nearly level plain, with a
large extent OF contiguous territory,
containing sufficient supply of water.
The cost Of the canal, including sixty
to sixty eight locks on each side Of the
summit, is estimated mt $3l ,636 600
the calculations being based upon the
work done on the CaledOnian Ship Ca.
nal. The dimensions OF the proposed
canal are: breadth at top, 122 feet at
bottom, so feet; and depth, 20 feet. The
value OF the cargoes belonging to the
United States, England and France
which would pass through the canal
when completed Is estimated At $685..
653, $50 ; and the vessels with an agpre.
gate mel surement of 3,049 515 tons, and
worth $50 per ton, are estimated at

Radical stealing.

AT the present time, the Radical par
ty is on trial before the American peo-
pie The bill Of indictment contains a
great number of counts. They are all
supported and sustained by the strong
est and most indisruiable evidence.
Among these counts is one, charging
the party in power with having stolen
near six millions of the peoples money,
since the advent of the Grant admins
tration. In proof Of this charge, Radi
cal testimony Is offered The Radical
House of Representatives, under the
whip and spur of public opinion, adopt
ed resolution in March. 1870, reque-t-
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to
furnish the House statement of the
balances due from Collectors of Internal
Revenue, "as such balances appear on
the books of the accounting officers of
his department" Mr.. Boutwe replied
in communication dated May 3. 1870,
and gave the names of three hundred
and forty defaulting collectors, every
one a Radical, appointed to office by
General Grant or retained in Office un-
der President Johnson's administration
by the tenure-ofo Office law, passed ses-
pecially to continue Radical plunderers
in paying positions We give one in
stance to illustrate: President John
son wished to remove Callicutt, a de-
faulting collector at Brooklyn, New
York, but the Senate refused its assent,
until he had been convicted of embez.
element and bribery, sentenced to pay
fine of 10000, and imprisoned five
years at hard labor. Ten Of the Radi.
cal thieves named in Mr.. Boutwell's re.
port had plundered the government out
OF $5,933,ll3 The remainder had a
smaller share of the spoils, What was
done in such an appalling condition OF
affairs? The Treasury had been rob
bed. The thieves were known. The
Secretary of the Treasury named the
guilty parties. He reported them to
Congress, with the amount stolen set
opposite to their names. But no ap.
propriate steps were taken by that body.
or the three hundred aad forty default
ing revenue collectors, only thirty have
been subjected to civil suits, and not
one criminal prosecution has been com
menced. So far as is known, at the
present time, not one cent Of the stolen
property has been recovered. Tine
thieves are living upon their ill-gotten
gains in splendor and affiuence, while
business men are compelled to make up
the deficiency, in the shape Of increased
taxation. This Is a specimen of the
present Radical administration of puo-
lie affairs, and the people are called up
On to indorse that party at the polls.
They will not do so, and thus enc urage
more stealing ON the part of the govern
nent officials. Age.

The Public Lands.

In voting away millions of acres Of
public lands to Railroad corporations,
Radical Congressman did not forget to
take care of themselves! 1t Is charged
that some own thousands of acres Of the
lands thus appropriated, some hundreds
of thousands, some townships, some
whole counties, and possibly some own
more territory than is contained in
some of the States
Is 1t not high time for the people to
arouse themselves to this state of affairs.
If the elections have passed, let Repub-
licans who disapprove such action use
their personal influence to prevent their
members from thus sacreligiously
squandering the public domain. Let
them use their influence to induce Re-
publican meetings to instruct their rep
resentatives against it. Let them con-
denim 1t in every way by which they
can be heard.
Let the public lands be retained by
the Government, not only as a source
Of revenue to relieve taxation, but es.
pecially for the use Of the actual settler
as nursery for Independent men, and
as the most practical means by which
poor men may acquire real estate and
become independent proprietors.
