The income tax is retained
for the benefit of the taX-gath-
erers, and not for that Of the
taxpayers. To maintain a few
office.holders in their places
this tax, annoying and oppres-
sive, and expensive in its col
lection, is retained for two
years and "no longer" as the
law reads, in mockery of the
old laws which expressly lin
tied the collection Of the tax
to the year 1870. The Radi-
Gals reimposed this tax. Not a
Radical Senator voted against
the reimposition. They cared
nothing for the people or their
interests. The oifice-holders
must be taken care Of at all
hazards, and to do this the peo,
pie have to meet a useless and
Infamous tax for two years
longer. Nor is there a GER
tainty that the tax will be with
drawn then if the Radicals are
in power. If the people in
dorse the imposition Of the In
come tax at the coming cleo
tions, they must not complain
if it rides the business Of the
country for the next ten years.

The Radical policy permits
the Railroad corporations to
steal the poor mans land and
John Chinaman to steal bis
labor.
The Radical leaders are in
favor of protected capital and
imported labor-high tariffs
and cheap Coolie labor is their
aim.
Grant is at Long Branch and
once more feels at home. The
Government at Washington,
undisturbed by his presence,
runs smoothly again.
The leaders Of the Republi-
can party have stolen more
since they came into power
than it took to carry on the
government during the half
century previous.
The indications point uner-
ringly to great Democratic vic.
tories all over the North this
fall. The people are with us at
heart; let us rally them with
us at the polls.
The Radical leaders are ca
ger to naturalize the Pagans
from China and introduce them
into our manufactures. They
will be plant tools at the bal.
lot box, and American labor
will be protected.
A Radical exchange says
1t is proposed to run Red
Cloud as the Democratic candi.
date for the Presidency. Even
that would be preferable to
having Red Eye'' rule at the
White House.
Import labor to make it
cheap" says the Radical poll
tician, "but put a probibitory
tariff on what the laborer con-
sumcs." The working man can
find no support in party that
is owned and controlled by cap
ital in it's own interest.
