IL successor is to be chosen; the Forty
third Congress to be elected.
&fhe peoples votes, white and black,
North and South, will thus decide the fa-
ture destiny of the Republic, select its rR-
lers, prescribe their course.
How to influence the peoples votes O.
By the newspaper--for it includes every
other agency. 1t makes known events and
faGts-among all influences the chief. 1t
assemblies the yaster outside audiences
which cannot gather to the State House,
the pulpit, or the stump. 1t is the con
slant interpreter of mems affairs, and of
error or truth is the daily seed-sower.
Next November is our political harvest
time. AS we SOW we shall reap.
The Worlds seed-sowing will be fruitful
to the extent that its circulation is widely
pushed by those who approve its aim.
The World will aim to represent and
combine tho labors and votes Of
I. All these who find best insurance of
the peoples prosperity, peace, aud pro-
gress in a government administered on the
principles and in the pure practice of JEFF
terson and Jackson, and who descry the
fount and origin of tho present corrup-
tions, extravaganza, misgovernment, sub
version of public liberties, and insecurity
OF private rights in our ruleFs' lawless
usurpation OF interdlcted and undelegated
powers-usurpation that today marches
deliberately on to the subjugation of pop
ular rule and the possession of dictatorial
power-for by acts Of Congress General
Grant may even now destroy the freedom
of State elections, invade the States at his
pleasure, and declare martial law of his
own mere will.
II. All those who would maintain the
honor of republics, and would preserve
public credit by punctual payment of pub
lie debts.
III. All those who would cut down to
fewer and fit objects all appropriations of
the peoples money (to-day more than dou-
bic, nearly treble, the appropriations of a
Democratic Congress eleven years ago,
not counting annuities to Indians, pen
sions to soldiers, and interest on debt, }
and who would oblige all spending of the
peolpe's money got by taxes to be with
honesty and thrift; likewise all those who
would spare little the peoples landed
estate for the landless millions hereafter
and stop its squapdering dominions in a
day upon those who already own too
much. ti.s ..a- ]t
". All those who would reduce the
number of commodities toXed by our tariff
iroW UncuSandS TO lew GoZenS, ana so
empty our Custom Houses of half their Of
ficials, rid the statute books Of half their
odions snares for honesty or brides to
fraud, and untetter scores of our native
Industries.
V. All those who would lower the rates
also OF our tariff taxes to the point of most
easily yielding the largest revenuo-who
would abandon the protectionist system of
reducing, the public revenue whilst in
creasing the extortionate profits of few
at tho expense of all other industries.
VI. All those who would abolish every
unlawful tax, like that on incomes; every
unjust tax like that which gives Banks the
peoples profits on national currency;
every unequal and indeterminate tax, like
that levied most cruelty upon the poor
the tax Of our irredeemable paper money
