WHO RULES 2

In the administration papers lately,
articles have appeared in which the
enormous expenses borne by the people
OF Great Britain for the support of Queen
Victoria and her family. are paraded and
commented on. So far, this is all very
we'll; but there is another curious feature
about the matter, and it is this. All the
articles that refer to this subject end by
making a comparison between the enor-
mons sum allowed the British Queen
and the salary of General Grant, as
President, and then wind up by intimat-
ing that Grants services in ruling the
nation, are dirt cheap at $50, 900 per an
mum. We should think they were dear
at any price, but the remark these
hunkeys make causes one to ask the
question: Who rules the nation? Is it
Grant or the people? The American
people have long chung to the notion that
they ruled themselves through their rep.
resentatives; but these papers say no,
that Grant rules the country. One
would suppose that they ought to know,
for they have been acting as his lickspit-
tie long enough to learn what he is do.

ATTENTION, SERFS.

"To hear is to obey" was the ex-
clamation OF the followers of the Calph
when receiving orders from their chief.
This style of literature appears to suit
fool fellow named L. NJ. Foulke, whom
Grant, with his usual stupidity, appoint
ed Supervisor of Internal Revenue.
The following are some extracts from
document that the Revenue mountebank
has seen fit to emit:
Attention, taxpayers! Hearken! Read!
Obey! Else abide penalties of the law!
Wholesale and retail liquor dealers,
brewers, malt liquor dealers, cigar manu-
facturers, tobacco, cigar dealers, drug
gists, apothecaries, comply or stand
prosecution. Supervisors Office, Inter-
nal Revenue, California, Nevada, Oregon,
Utah. Idaho, Arizona and Washington
Territory, San Francisco, Cal, July 10,
1874.
Taxpayers and local officers, hear this
last warning. Government must have
the ,taxes-the law must and shall
be obeyed-smoothly if possible, roughly
if necessary. l.. M. Foulke, Supervisor
Internal Revenue.
This reads like the highwsyman s
usual demand, your money or your
life" Yet this is done in free America,
where the President, assisted by his ac-
completes in Congress, doubled his sal
airy, and each one Of them had his little
grab. No wonder they want money
when there is horde of plunderers like
the present Congress ready to steal the
peoples money, no matter what misery
or grief it causes. They talk about
wringing taxes from the people in mon
archical countries and nations ruled by
despots, what do the above elegant ex.
tracts look like? Ninety eight years
since Boston harbor was turned into a
huge teapot because of the taxes levied
on the tea. If things go ON as they have
lately, there will soon have to be another
brewing,

The PHOEBE RECORD Complains that
we ignore the questions of finance and
common school system. The RECORD
is partly right. We have turned the
common school business over to the De-
mocracy, inasmuch as that organization,
through all the years of its powers,
showed such anxiety in behalf of general
education through the medium OF free
schools.-[yirg. Enterprise.
In the first place, the RECORD did not
complain, but remarked that the Enter
prise, like all other Administration
hacks, talked about everything else but
the questions which were of real advant.
age and interest to the people. Now, as
to the intended sneer at the Democracy,
with that We have nothing to do. We
are not fighting the Democrats battles,
not forgetting that they are abundantly
able to protect themselves. But the Ad-
ministration and their accessories in
Congress and of the press. having done
their best to destroy the school system
OF the country, we then and would still
like to hear what the Enterprise, and the
rest of its tribe. has to say about the
matter. This question purely concerns
the masses. The rich do not send their
children to common schools, but those
in poor or moderate circumstance do,
and frequently it is the only means Of pro-
curing any education for their offspring.
The men that at present disgrace the Sem
ate Chamber OF the United States passed
a bill, the practical effect of which was
to destroy the school system Of the
country. Under the provisions Of that
bill white children would be compelled
to associate with and attend the same
schools as those of the blacks. This
would be most unpleasant and hurtful
condition of things for the whites with
out giving any appreciable benefit to the
blacks. The bill, nevertheless, passed
the Senate. The House did not dare
touch it at the last session, because cleo
tons took place in most of the States
this Fall, and they did not care to have
the additional load of this bill on their
hands. 1t now stands as part of the I'M.
finished business of Congress and can
be taken up at the next meeting. As we
said before, the mater is one that
peculiarly affects the poor man,
and We would like to know
whether the Virginia Enterprise or any
other administration hack is willing to
tell the hardy miners of Virginia and
other places, that they must make their
children associate with and be the
schoolmates of negroes. This is plain
question which, with others touching the
gag bill, the salary grab, ETC.. must be
met during the present canvass, and the
thick and thin supporters of the admin
istration will have to answer them with.
out equivocation. so they might as well
come to the scratch at once.
