They Did Not Fight For That.

Republican polititions ask soldiers
who fought in the Federal army
against the Confederate army, tfDid
you not fight to maintain the Union p
and with this question they couple
the intimation, that in doing so, they
put themselves under obligations to
vote the Republican ticket.
True, they fought to maintain\ the
Union !; but they did not fight to
build upia party that takes the pub
lie lands, which belong to the people,
and gives them to railroad monopo-
lies, They did not fight that the mass
of the people should be outrageously
taxed through Tariffs to make rich
New England manufacturers
They did not fight to lift the Negroes
out of Slavery and TO invest them
with equal political privileges with
themselves before they gave evidence
of some qualification for the exercise
of those privileges. They did not
fight that the money loaned the Gov
ernment, on big interest, the pay
ment of which they mades4good by
fighting the War to a successful con-
clusion, should 20 free of taxation,
while they are compelled to pay tax
es on their accumulations. W. Co.

SENATOR SHERMAN, in his Dele
ware speech, i'll defending his clients,
the land thieves, declared that the
Union Pacific Railroad was voted for
by every Democratic member in Con-
gress, and was supported !" acithout

simply a Justification of the record.
The Union Preific Railroad Bill, max
ing gift of fifty millions of acres of
the public lands, passed Congress on
the 9Th of April, 1862, and was sup
ported by every Radical Congress

Will Vote The Democratic Ticket This
Fall.

Several days ago. number of men
were at work threshing in one of the
townships in this county. The num-
Der as stated TO us, was ten. But one
of that number had heretofore been a
Democrat, and out of that ten only
one proposed to vote the Republican
ticket this fall. Among themselves,
they argued in this way
why should we work and slave
from early in the morning until late
at night, and help pay the taxes,
while the holders of Bonds in large
numbers live lives of ease and pleas
ure, and pay no taxes on their Bonds !?
The republican leaders insist that
this is right-right that we should
work and slave to make up the taxes,
while the Bond Holders go free of
taxation. To us it does not seem
right-it is not right-and we will
not longer by our votes be understood
as asserting that it is right. The
Democrats maintain that it is wrong.
As party they have always opposed
everything like privileged classes in
this country. They contend that the
blessings and the .eXactions of the
should descend equally upon all.
We will help put them into power,
try them, and if they do not legislate
as we think they should, we will have
the privilege of voting left and we
can exercise that privilege. to vote
some other party into power that will
serve US as we think right
1t appears to US that is very SEN
sibIe talk. Wayne Co. Dem.

riotism of our iilustrious. fore fathers.
[Applause.l
In the language of one of our most
eloquent statesmen, if disastrous war
sweep our commerce from the ocean,
another generation may renew it; if
it exhaust our treasury, future indus
try may replenish it; if it desolate and
lay waste our fields, still, under new
cultivation, they will grow green
again and ripen into future harvests.
1t were but trifle even if the walls
of our proud capitol were to crumble,
If its lofty pillars were to fall and its
gorgeous decorations be all covered
with the dust of the valley. All these
might be rebuilt. But who shall re-
construct the fabric of demolished
government? Who shall frame to-
gether the skillful architecture which
unites National Government with
State Rights, and individual security
with public prosperity? No, my
countrymen, if these columns fall they
will be raised not again. Like the
Coliseum and the Pantheon, they will
be destined to a mournful, melan-
choly immortality. Bitterer tears,
however, will flow over them than
were ever shed over the monuments
of Roman or Grecian Art; for they
will be the remnants of more glori-
Gus edifice than Greece or Rome ever
saw, the edifice of Constitutional
American Liberty! [Applause.]

MORGAN and Garfield Discuss.

Gen. Morgan and H on Rev. Gen.
Garfield recently held discussion OF
political questions at Newark. The
special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
thus tells the result q e y
''The joint discussion between Gen
eral Morgan and General Garfield
took place in this city this evening,
in Walace's Opera House. A vast
assemblage of both parties was pres
ent. 'irs 7eZ 80 li'',.'t'~ +.l
General Garfield opened with an
hours speech. General Morgan fol-
lowed in an hour and three quarters
speech, and Garfield closed in hall
hours speech. Garfield opened with
a feeble defense of the administration
of General Grant, which defense con-
sisted in a mere comparison between
Grants and Johnson's administra-
tions, claiming a more economical adj
ministration and honest collection oil
the internal revenue, entirety tignor-
| ing the corruption i'll the country.
| After defending the National banks,
the bondholders and the protective
tariff, he fell in the same old rut about
the war in which Republican orators
| invariably founder. q ''t-i' g. 7-4
" When General Morgan rose,
never did red-headed George appear
in more glorious relief than he dii TO-
| night, and when he said General
Garfield stands here as the ingenious
and powerful champion of the Ma
tional banks, of the wealthy bond
holders, the. tariff and the land mo-
nopolists, while I stand here as the
representative of the brawny hand oil
labor, and of the people, sucha shout
Of applause was never heard here be-
fore. Under his ponderous blows,
Garfield's sophistry about Grants
economy melted into the air. 1t was
as unjust to compare Grants admins
tration with JOhnsom's, as it was to
| compare JohHson's with Aincoln's.
Garfield had asked him why lie
voted against the tariff bill (? L.I-tit
| He said, 81 voted against that bill
because it was swindle upon the ma
tion ; because it robbed one-half of
the people to enrich the other half /;
because it was the essence of injus-
tice because it was bill OF abomina-
tions, and because 7 wppld not act as
the feed attorney of New England"

ocratic victory in discussion since the
great debate here between Sam Cox
and Lucius Cass, 16 years ago.

IT is estimated that the whole
amount of money derived from the
income tax this year will not exceed
$IO,OOO,0OO, and that TO collect this
amount will cost $4,000 Oo00-the same
as last year. This will leave only
about 100000 for the treasury. The
balance will go to support an army OF
office-holders. These estimates are
based. on figures furnished by such
loyal men as Commissioner Rollins
and Congressman Schenck, and are
not far, probably, from the truth, Is
it any wonder that taxes are high, OF
that the proportions of the public
debt are slowly, very slowly, cur
tailed !? t@.

western Republiean congressnen.

Western Republican Congressman.
The Western Republican Congress
men are having decidedly u hard
time of it on the stump. There are
several things which bother them
exceedingly TO explain /;
1. To their German Republican
freinds how it happened that ma
jority of the Republicans in the House
of Representative voted for such a
change in the naturalization laws as
would make it almost impossible
hereafter for foreigner to become a
citizen.
?. Why did the Republican Con-
gress adopt, and the Republican Pres
ident sign, the present high tariff law,
by which the masses of the people
are plundered for the benefit of a
few Eastern manufacturing eOrmo-
rants
3. Why did not the administration
of Grant recognize the independence
of Cuba, which had been gallantly
maintained for two years, and would
have been finally successful if the is
land could have had the benefit of
our moral influence in its favor.
4. What has become of the Ala
bama claims against England, which
the Administrator came into power
to collect
5. Why was funding bill passed
in relation to the national debt, sur
rendering, upon the part of the Gov
ernment, the right of Federal taxa
ton of the bonds, and paying them
double the rate we originally agreed
to give ?
s. Why do the National banks have
the privilege OF issuing their notes as
money, said notes costing the people
nearly OF quite S20000,000 year.
when legal-tender notes could have
been issued for nothing?
Z. Why is the army not reduced to
the peace standard of 1900, instead
of 250O0 men? Why does it. cost
| $500O0,000 annually, when it should
be but S25,000,000 !!
| S.'fWhy is our navy in such an in
efficient condition, that it is admitted
by Republican Congressman that the
| $500,000,000 spent upon it since 1861
have been worse than thrown away
How was. that money squandered
g., Why was not General Grant, toi
his shameful and illegal agreement
entered into with the dictator, Baez
for the cession of San Domingo to the
United States, promptly impeached
and turned out of Office, which would
have been the case if it had been
done by Andrew johnson

FISK ON GRANT.-Jim Fisk, Jr.,
furnishes the New York -lSun inter-
viewer with a detailed account of the
manner in which he aud Jay Gould
paid Grants thousand dollar subscrip-
ton to the "Rawlins fund" The
check was exhibited to the interview
er. and the. Colonel is preserving it
for the benefit of future historians.
To all exclamation of surprise that
Grant allowed a stranger TO pay q
subscription in honor of the memory
of his dearest friend, Fisk responded
with forty-horse power as follows :
"Grant is not only greedy little
wretch, but he's a fool. He don't
know anything. He hasn't brains
enough to comprehend the position
in which such thing places him be-
fore the country, All he can see in
the matter is that he saved thousand
dollars by it. He is too destitute of
sensibility to comprehend what you
say about the subscription beng a
sacred Offering upon the altar of
friendship He is incapable of true
friendship, and never felt any of the
sentiment which true friendship in
spires, To sum him up in one SEN
tence he is the nations hog"

How the Funding Bill Defrauds the
People.
The Funding bill passed by the Re-
publicans at the last session of Con-
gress swindles the people in three
ways:
/. 1t defrauds them of the right to
tax the bonds of the Federal Govern
ment.
2. 1t defrauds them of the right to
redeem the bonds at their option. and
thus put stop to their drawing inter.
est.
3. 1t defrauds Il ttinesAA, Of their right
to pay the bonds in greenbacks, or in
gold at fifty cents on the dollar.
This last item makes on the 81, ,500,-
100000, of bonds funded by the bill, o
difference of S75O,0OO,OOO, out of
which the people are swindled, and
will have to fork oyer 10 the bond
holders.

what win You do wien ne

What will the Democrats do with
the Government when they obtain
the control of it is a question occa-
sionally asked by Radicals. In the
light of the past it would seem un-
necessary to waste time in answering
that question, and it is only necessary
to say that they will do as they have
done in the past.
They will administer the Govern
ment for the benefit of the people,
and not for the privileged orders.
They will levy taxes for the collee-
ton of revenue and not to fill the cof-
fers of the manufacturing monopo-
lists of New England, and the iron
mongers of Pennsylvania.
They will have the Government
create and regulate the currency of
the country, and not farm it out to
the privileged capitalists. @
They will pay the bonds of the
Government exactly according TO the
agreement, and not pay the bond
holders gold for bonds which they
purchased with deprecated paper,
nor pay hundreds of millions dollars
premium for bonds which the Gov
ernmant has the right to redeem at
par.
They will put a stop to the squan-
dering of the public lands which the
Government holds in trust for the
people, aud which the Radicals have
been partitioning out among favored
corporations and monopolies.
They will equalize taxation by COM
pelling those who have been exempt
ed by the Radicals, to bear their equal
share of the public burdens.
They will look, to the interests OF
the laboring men by prohibiting the
importation of race of Pagan rat
eaters to compete with them and
finally drive them from the labor
market. 3..f7.4za s, aas.g.i .,1t.s
They will recognize the supremacy
of the Constitution of the Fathers OF
the Republic and the doctrine that
true loyalty consists in obedience to
its injunctions and not to the Yagaries
of Wendell Phillips, Lloyd Garrison.
Abby Kelly, Steven s. Foster, Charles
Sumner, and men OF that ilk. /.
And by these and like measures
will the Democracy again make the
Government what it was under theil
rule ere Radicalism obtained control
of it "the best government the sun
ever shone upon" and return to the
people their wonted prosperity
This was the boast of the people be.
fore the rule of the Jacobins, and to
this complexion will it come again
when the Government shall once
more pass into the hands of the Dem.

The Democrats OF the Second Con-
gressional District of Minnesota have
nominated Hon. Ignatus Donnelly as
their candidate, and are making a
square fight on the tariff issue. Two
years ago Mr.. Donnelly ran as an
independent Republican, and the re-
suit was the election of E. M. Wilson.
Democrat. Since then DonneIly has
gravitated towards the Democracy:
and finally strikes hands with the
party on the tariff question. 1t is
believed he will be elected.

says:
Sixty-eight Chinese coolies arrived
at Beiieville, new Jersy, last night,
for the laundry of a. III. Hervey. He
employed about one hundred women,
but became disgusted with the wages
he had to pay them and started for
San Francisco. At Omaha lie met
Koopmanschap, and tried to obtain
laborers from him.
Koopmanschap said that he had
contracts now on hand to supply
Eastern capitalists with over 100000
coolies, and had, within six weeks, re-
jected applications for over 10000.
The first installment of three thou
sand coolies for j. Is. Simpson & Co,

Important to Foreigners

The Radical Congressional Natural
ization Law renders it imperative that
all aliens who desire to vote at the
next Presidential election must take
out their papers during the next five
weeks, in September or October. The
Presidential election will be on the
first Tuesday of November, two years
hence; and the first papers must be
taken out at least two years before the
second papers are issued.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1870-09-29

Could anything be more disreput-
able than the above, from the law
making power of the National Gov
ernment? Although the amount may
seem Insignificant, yet the object OF
the expenditures is degrading to the
representatives of the people, and
gives unmistakable evidence of the
alarming degenerdcy of the times.
