Hewett was committed to Jail. 1t was

HOW TRADE rs TAXED.

1t is surprising that such intelligent free
trade papers as the EUsnisg Post and Daily
Bulletin should print an array of tables
protesting to contrast, though never so un-
fairly, the expenses and taxes of the Ma
tionsl, State and city governments of New
York for 1860 with those of 1874, and then
ask the question, Chow long is trade to be
depressed by these enormous burdens3"
1t has been supposed by a great many
that the labor, rather than the trade, of the
country paid the taxes for the support of
Government. Political economists have
for long time taught to this effect. 1t is
only since the war that the EoeRiag Post
has become so demoralized in political
economy as to talk about the taxes of
country being burden upon trade. But un-
fortunately, some of our New York journals
are SO exclusively devoted to trade and stock
interests that they appear to forget that
labor has anything at all to do with the
wealth and thrift of the country. The
Esesing Post, under the control of Mr..
Bryant, was forever reading homilies upon
the wickedness and folly of hampering La
bor with taxes upon foreign productions,
because it was sure to come at last out Of
the pocket of the consumer for the benefit
of the manufacturer. The Post of those
days labored to indoctrinate the whole
country into the principles of free trade as
sedulously and industriously as Horace
Greeley and the Tribune Of the same pc
Rod endeayored TO inculcate the doctrines
and practices of protection to American
National Republican., 1875-12-04

industry through high tax upon imports.
Behold the contrast of to-dayl The Tri-
5nns, reduced to the level of stool-pigeen
and capper for o stock-gambler, and the
Esen!ng Post to eopying and indorsing the
flippant and unreliable statements Of
trade journal three or four score of years
its Junior In the ways and knowledge of
commerce. "How trade is taxed. indeed
How labor is taxed, SO that it prowls about
your streets between begging, starving and
stealing. The recent inflated prices ana
oyertrading were entirely due to the popu-
lar desire to get living by trade rather
than by labor = selling on time Tor the
sake of selling, and encouraging men to go
into trade without sufficient cash capital,
and putting enough on to prices to pay for
the average risks involved in these credits.
Small traders follow this example, and add
twenty-five or thirty per cent. to their
prices TO cover risks Of the credits they
give. Now, when these additional prices
are all combined together, those of the i'm
porter, the jobber, the wholesaler and the
retailer, the aggregate forms the imitation oil
which we hear SO much, and which has
resulted in the starvation of the laberer-
the consumer. He is the camel on whose
back the burden is placed-not the trader

National Republican., 1875-12-04
An EXPLANATION AND AN UNDERSTAND
TNn

The Republicans are quite Indifferent as
TO the course which the Confederate power
in the American Congress may elect to
take in the organization of the House. The
issue as Joined between the National Re-
publican party and the Confederate Democ-
racy is q simple and clear one. The Con-
federate power cannot maintain recog-
nized political foothold anywhere within
this Union. We refused to recognize the
power during the late war; we refuse to
recognize it now. Inside of the Union
as outside of the Union we have no COM
promises 10 make with it. We demand
unconditional surrender" and the North
viii yet make this demand as good on
the arena of national politics as she did
on the field of battle. Confederate repre-
sentation in the American Congress will
be wiped out. Confederate power in the
electoral college will be broken. Confed-
crate domination in the late slave States
of the Union will not be submitted to.
We trust that this explicit explanation
will lead to clear understanding between
those who fought to destroy the Union and
those who fought to preserve it. A Con-
federate South within the Union, resting
on negro serfdom as its cornerstone, is in
finitely more dangerous to the cause of Re-
publican institutions in the New World
than Confederate South out Of the Union,
resting on negro slavery as its cornerstone.
The Republicans are prepared for the
emergency and ready for the struggle
which is rapidly approaching.

for the caucus to-day, was not it is under
stood, entirely harmonious. When q
Kerr-sory suggestion was made Cox
Woodn't agree, but invariably declined,
because he knew what it was intended for,
and all time would not have been long
enough to convince him to the contrary.
AT last accounts, it is understood that Kerr
thinks the safety of the Democratic (Ways
and Means) committeeship depends much
upon its having good Cox-wain, and pro-
poses to secure one if he is elected captain

THE Turkish Legation here contradicts
recent allegations that headless Christian
women have been found in towns of Herze-
govina, and that bodies have been seen
floating in the river Sava. 1t is also init
mated that the failure to give the name of
the author of these allegations, as we'll as
the omission of the naure of the town al
luded to, leaves room to question the au-
thenticity of the assertions. Besides. the
Saya river does not run through Herzego.

Mr.. 7. W. PARK publishes card ex-
posing the trick by which the Tribune, in
the interest of Jay Gould, obtained certain
documents from him relative to the Emma
Nine affair, and then violated its written
promise in the matter by the publication of
garbled extracts of them instead of the
complete testimony. The extracts selected
were, of course, such as would play into
the hands of Jay Gould and his Union
Pacific speculations as opposed to the Paci-
fc Mail interests of Park and his friends.
Park now threatens the Tribune with q
libel suit, which will bring out all the
transactions regarding the Emma Mine. 1t
is therefore very pretty quarrel. And
we shall see some sharp practice.
