RADICAL SYSTEM OF TAXATION.

Having plenty of money. thers in
great temptation. to spend plenty.
and the restraint upon proAigacy is
loose. and but lightly felt. In view
of this fact the New York Eren,ng
Post. Radical newspaper. says:
.sThe government now collects. by
taxation Sl0O,ooU,o00 per annum more
than 1t needs for current expenses, In
clttiing the interest on the public debt.
This vast surplus of two millions of
dollars every week Ia a perpetual
temptation before the lobbyists and
congressman. and liz the main inccn-
tive to every extravagant scheme. So
long as 1t continues to he collected, all
the resources of human ingenuity will
be employed to bring about the uso of
it for the promotion of private schemes,
by grants, subsidies. local improve
-ments, new offices, increased salaries
and general wastefulness."
And this vast surplus is extorted
rom the people by system of tax.
.tion that is little better than rob-
'ery, and by means that are applied
to no other people under the sun
An attempt to tax matches. in Eng
land, has recently produced an out
oreak of publicsfeeling that disturbed
the peace. and eliminated in riot.
while it so threatened the safety of
he party in power that they were
compelled to withdraw it in Parlia-
ment. But the American people
submit to an odious aud inuuisatarial
,ystem of taxation devised by Radi-
cal legislation, and they do not rise
II riots and they keep in power the
party that invented and enforces it.
Are we freer than the people of Eng
and or not?

RADICAL CONSISTENCY,

When men reject principles and
allow themselves to be governed ls
only selfisE motives, their conduct
must ineyitably exhibit glariny in.
Dis s.stencies and fat contradictions.
This is the fact with reference to the
Raiical leaders. Their object is !,
retain political power at all hazards,
and they do not scruple at the means
to he used, or as to the pretexts put
forth to justify such use And their
course Is as crooked as that of a
Sdranken man, and their positions,
ut different times, are as inconsistent
as possible. For example. at one
time they insist that the South ar,
conquered provinces, and he South
eIn neonle are to be treated as con-

they were not guilty of treason; yei
in the very next breath. perhaps, tn.
Radical leaders insist that these peo-
pie are guilty of treason aud shall b.
hung for 1t. These positions ar,
utterly Inconsistent with each other
Men cannot be traitors and alien Ell
emies, at the same time and to th,
same government. But the Radical
take these opposite and contradictor,
positions; anu make the Southern,
people traitors for the purpose %

their political rights under the col

In similar manner these Radical,
