ROBBERY UNDER FoRM OF LAW
viii the income tax be continued =
Most assuredIy it will, if the Republic
can managers in Congress think til"
people will submit to it. Their course
IN respect to it has from the beginning
been worthy Of II gang of repudia'ors. -
I'm 1862, when the tax was first impos-
ed, they voted that it should continue
till June 80, 1866, and no longer, 90
Next, two years later, they voted that
t should continue till 1870, and no
longer; and fuaIly in 1870 they re-
undated their former pledges and voted
tina, it should continue for the years
1870 and 1871, and no longer. Next
in 1871 they will, if they dare, vote that
il shall be continued till 1873 or 1874,
and no longer, and 50 on. No reliance
can BE- placed upon any declaration or
any pledge Of the Republican majority
in Congress respecting this subject
There is no safety except in forcing
them to keep their agreement by persist
ent agitation.
The income tax is clearly unconst'tu-
ioual, aud its exaction, without any
necessity for it, or any reason eXcep'
Inc foolish within of paying the debt be-
lore it is due, is nothing better than
robbery under the form Of law Of
Cousraas.

"Mr Barnum's new show has started

The Chicago papers announce that
the grave of Douglas in that city is to
be sold for taxes. 1t appears in com

upon the ground wherein reposes oil
that is mortal Of the Little Giant, and
that the courts having given Judgment,

We find the foregoing item in the

country to allow the honored grave of
the lamcnted statesman, the late >tcph

were given in our behalf in a bold, able

Thursday, May IL, 1871.

The failures in the United States,
during 1870, it is reported, amounted
to 1851, involving liabilities of $685.
$4,000, against failures during 1859
amounting to 2,799, involving liabilities
of $75,054,000.
The above item carries with itself
very unfortunate intelligence of the
business of the country. "Money is
tight" and nearly all of the business in
the United States is stagnant, and SUI
fering for the want of proper encourag-
ment. Just tax the government bonds,
and it will bring out much of the money
that is invested in them to be used III
active business.

The Boston advertiser, the leading
Republican orgrn of New England, thus
declares:
The South must be reconstructed, if
at all, by its natural leaders-the men
of brains, character and influence - most
of whom, of course, were in the late
war. This is sound policy. This opin-
ion is held by hundreds of unparalleled
people-old army officers and cilizens-
who have lived ard owned plantations
in the South, or have travelled there.
The present state of things is very bad.
We have been tryiug to create an unnat.
nral state of affairs, aud the result is a
failure, so long as the only Intelligent
men are DISTINGUISHED, and the ignorant
aud viscious are left TO control matters.
All accounts agree that the hostility is
not felt toward the National Govern
ment but toward certain obnoxious black
and white people. Now, it is certainly
too much 10 expect a very active Sentl-
mcnt against the Ku.KIux, if nothing
better is promised than the grotcsquc
travesties of governments which we have
seen in many Of these States, Let us
try new remedy, and give brains, and
character and decency q chance. First
Of all, let us stop this wretched congress,
sional fooling with great communities
as if they were babes or idiots. BY AT
tempting to subject whole States to the
control of ignorant blacks and whites,
who are both ignorant and vicious, VIZ
invite the very outrages Of which we
complain, The countryis sick of the
whole thing.

This is the right spirit. The more i'm

best, for of fifty thousand immigrants to

OF THE
Northern PACIFIC RAILROAD.
RAPID PROGRESS OF THE WORK.

RAPID PROGRESS or THE WORK.
The building of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
(begun July last) is being pushed forward with
great energy from both eXtremlties Of the line.
Several thousand men are employed in Min
nesota and on the Pacific coast. The grade is
nearly completed 2GG miles westward from Lake
Superior trains are running over 1870 miles of
finished road, and track-laying is rapidly
progressing toward the eastern border of Da-
kota. Including its purchase of the st. Paul &
Pacific Road, the Northern Pacific Company
now has Alb miles of completed road, and by
September next this will be increased to at least
$50.
A GOOD INvEsTMENT.-Jay Cooke & Co. are
now selling and unhesitatingly recommend, as
a Profitable and perfectly Safe investment, the
First Mortgage Land Grant Gold Bonds OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, They
have 80 years to run, bear Seven and Three
Tenths per cent. gold interest more than per
cent currency and are secured by first and
only mortgage on the entire road and its equip
merStS, and also, as fast as the Road is COM
pleted on
% 900 ACRES OF LAND to every mile of track
or 500 Acres for each 81 900 Bond. They are
exempt from U. S. Tax; Principal and Interest
are payable in Gold Denominatiins Coupons,
500 to 81, 900 Registered, 800 to $4,000.
LANDS FOR BoNDs.-Northern Pacific 1905
are at all times receivable at ten per cent. above
par, IN exchange tOf the IOmpanVS lanus, at
their lowest cash price. This renders them
practically interest bearing land warrants.
SINKING FUND.-Ihe proceeds of all sales of
Lands are required to be devoted to the re-
purchase and cancellation of the First Mortgage
Bonds of the Company. The Land Grant OF the
Road exceeds Fifty Million Acres. This i'm
mense Sinking Fund Will undoubtedly cancel
the principal OF the companys bonded debt be-
fore it falls due. With their ample security and
high rate of interest. there is no investment,
accessible to the people, which is more profitable
or safe.
EXCHANGING U. S. 5-2Os.-The success of the
New Government per cent. Loan will compel
the early surrender Of U. S. 6 per cents. Many
holders of Five-Twenties are now exchanging
them for Northern Pacific 7-30,s, thus realizing
a handsome profit and greatly increasing their
yearly income.
OTHER SECURITIEs-All marketable Stocks Il
Bonds will be received at their highest current
price in exchange for Northern Pacific 1905,
Express charges on Money or Bonds received,
and on 1905 sent in return, will be paid by the
Financial Agents. Full information maps,
