Tax the Bonds,


Boutwell, argues, says the Cincin-
Enquirer, against the repeal of the
income tax, because if that tax is
abolished something else must be tax
ed. We'll, whether the income tax is
abolished OF not, that something else
is ready at hand, the collection of the
tax on which will not be consumed
by the tax-gatherer for his services.
Tax the bonds. This tax can be col
leeted without any additional cost to
the Government, so that the whole
amount will be clear gain to the
Treasury, which is not the case with
the income tax. Tax the bonds
those i'll the hands of foreign holders
as well as those at home.
The Financial Chronicle, high
authority, in noticing the feature of
the proposed new loan to exempt the
new securities from taxation, says it
is privilege not conceded by any
first class power of Europe, and
doubts whether the exemption from
all taxes is allowed by the Constitu-
tion of the United States. But wheth-
er it does or not, the Chronicle in
sists that it violates fundamental
principle of finance, and that the spir-
it of our institutions forbids that pre-
cedent should be established for free
ing any set of capitalists of any spe-
cies of property from the inalienable,
paramount and universal obligation
to support the Government.
1t would seem as if the Republican
party and its Congress and Executive
had but two great purposes in view:
to perpetuate their own power, and
legislate against the taxpayers and
business interests of the country, and
for the especial benefit Of capitalists.
''The aristocracy of the slave power"
has been succeeded by the aristocracy
of the money power, whose repre-
sentative the party of modern Repub-
licanism is. To tax the earnings of
industry and the profits of business,
and exempt the bondholders from all
taxation of their capital, is the prom
inent financial feature of the Repub-
lican party. Possibly Grant, Bout
well & Co. will be able to perpetuate
it. They are determined on trying.

More Temperance Legislation.

A special from Columbus to the
Cleveland Leader on Friday last,
says:
Mr.. Corcoran, of the House, has
prepared and will shortly introduce a
bill to amend the liquor law, SO as to
provide that i'll each and every prose-
cution, under any or all of the liquor
laws, the persons who bought, reeeiv-
ed or drank the Intoxicating or spirit
uous liquors shall be made-co-defend-
ants with the persons who sold or
gave away the liquor, and shall be liza
BILE to all the fines, penalties and pains
now by law imposed on persons who
sell intoxicating liquor. This makes
the people who drink liquor equally
responsible with those who sell it,
This bill when taken in connection
with Mr.. Schirck's bill, which propo-
ses to modify the liquor law, will
bring the temperance question fairly
before the Legislature.

THE 4lst Congress closed its wicked
career on Saturday and the country
has great cause to rejoice thereat.
1t has been one of the most infamous
Legislative bodies that has ever had
an existance in this government. 1t
has done those things it ought not to
have done, snd left undone those
things which shonld have claimed its
attention. Coming into power hypo-
critically expressing an ardent desire
for peace, it has kept alive the spirit
of strife and discord Processing a
sacred regard for the Constitution of
the fathers of the Republic, it. has
stripped it of its essential features
and converted the Federal Union of
the States into an imperial despotism
in which the reserved rights of the
States have been utterly disregarded
and nadIy trampled upon. Claiming
to be the friends of the equality of the
people they have run the government
in the interests OF the privileged or
der of bondholders, bankers and
Manufacturing monopolists, and made
the toiling producing people the mere
'shewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter" to the favored few. Protesting
to be in favor of economy they have
crippled the trade and industries of
the country by system of taxation
the most oppressive the world ever
saw, by which the labor of the coun-
try is robbed to pay tribute to set of
heartless monopolists, thus making
the ssrich richer aud the poor poorer
The public lands held by the Govern
ment in trust for the people have been
lavishly used in substituting Railroad
Corporations. II has been profuse in
its promises of reform and has accom-
plished nothing. 1t has plundered
the public treasury, and refused to
prosecute the plunderers of the pub
lie moneys. 1t has corrupted the
ballot-box and usurped the control of
the elections in the States against the
uniform practice of the government
in its better and purer days. 1t has
taxed every species of property of the
poor man while it has exempted the
bonds of the rich. 1t has paid the
bondholder in gold and the soldiers
who periled their lives in defense of
the government, in deprecated paper,
and committed other outrages against
the rights and interests of the people
which should consign it to infamy.
May the country never look upon Its
like again.

The Radical Congress got sick OF
negro rule in the District of Colum-
bia, and passed a law establishing q
territorial Government there, with the
power of appointment in the hands of
the President. Grant appointed Mr..
Henry d. Cook, of the firm of Jay
Cook & Co., bankers, Governor of
the District, but he has declined the
honor, and recommends as his sue
cessor Hon. A. G. Riddle, formerly a
Representative in Congress from the
Cuyahoga District in this state.

THE bill for the repeal of the in
come tax law was voted down in the
House of Representatives on Thurs
day last by la nays to 81 yeas. The
defect of the measure is attributed to
the interference of Secretary Bout
well TO retain the tax. There is no
doubt that the income tax is very un-
popular, still it is about tie only tax
that reaches the bondholder, and but
few if any farmers, mechanics and la
boring men are effected by it.

MORE IMPEAcHMENT.-The Nebras-
ka House of Representatives has pre-
ferred articles of impeachment against
Governor Butler of that State, charg-
ing him, in connection with other
State officials, with being guilty of
corrupt and criminal practices in the
abuse of his official power for his own
pecuniary advantage. The Legisla-
ture holds that during the tendency
of impeachment the Governor is sus-
pended from office and have empow-
cred the Secretary of State to act as
Governor. The RAIDS are having a
"high old time" with their officials
about these times. Three of their
Governors-Holden, OF North Caro-
lima; Clayton of Arkansas, and But
ler,.of Nebraska--are being impeach-
ed for corrupt practices. In view of
these facts who can doubt that that is
the party possessing s.all the honesty,
all the morality, all the piety and all
tAe intelligence in the lind.

The Ohio House of Representatives
a few days ago passed bill to prevent
the great and growing evil of allow
ing school boards and teachers from
changing text books every ninety
days or oftener. This bill, which will
probably become law, provides that
the text books can only be changed
once in three years, and then it re-
quires two.thirds vote of the board
to make the change, While the bill
was under discussion, the member
from Fayette stated that in one dis
trict in his county the text books were
changed twice in three weeksl These
sudden changes do not grow out of
the necessities of the scholars, but the
greed ofeootsiders, who receive COM
missions upon the books that are
sold

SECRETARY BOUTWELL, publishes the
statement of the public debt for Feb
ruary, claiming decrease during the
month of S7,317960. The debt on the
1st inst, less cash in the Treasury is
given at 81, ,320, ,70S,S46. In his letter
to Mr.. Hooper, when he was protest
ing against the repeal of the income
tax he stated the debt at 1900, 600, 900,
which is right? and is the Secretary
showing his ingenuity in making fig
ures the instrument of deceiving the
people?

ACCORDING to a Washington CORES

ACCOKDING 10 u W aSnIngtOn COrreS-
pondent the counter claims of Great
Britain for damages to the property
of Englishmen in this country during
the war of the rebellion, and Canada
for the injuries received by the citi-
zens of the Now Dominion during the
Fenian raids, will probably be insist
ed upon and pressed in mitigation by
the British members of the High
Commission of the Alabama bill. 1t
is even intimated that the total of
damages from these sources on their
side will foot up considerably more
than the total ON our side.

THE strongest evidence that the
Radical party possessed all the intelli-
gence in the country, is furnished in
the fact that they have enfranchised
all the negroes of the country, and ta-
ken them into full communion in the
Radical church, while the intelligent
white men have been DISTINGUISHED by
them.

AN EXPENSIVE LUxURY.-The late
Congress paid to contestants for seats
SIS, 900, and $2S.0O0 more in the shape
of costs relating to the same matter.-
This enormous expense was put upon

retain the rule IN opposition to the
will of the people that they might
Africanize the country, and perpetu-
ate the power of the privileged or
ders.
