The Public Credit.

The Democratic platform calls up
on the people to put Democracy into
power "to restore the public credit"
This sounds like huge joke. Re-
store the puplic credit? Restore it
to what? If it be restored to what it
was when the Republican party came
into power there would be weeping
and wai!ing among those who hold
our national securities.
The fact Off it is our credit never
stood higher. Our bonds are quoted
at from 1870 to 1875, and hard to get at
that Our credit is so good that the
Government finds no difficulty in
funding its loans at four and a half
per cent. All this in time of general
depression when securities of all kinds
have fallen SO greatly in value.
To hear the Democratic party talk
ing of restoring the public credit,
hen it stands higher than ever be-
fore in tina history of the country is
very much like a quack doctor insist
ing upon giving healthy and robust
man dose of medicine to restore
him to health.
1t is possible that the Democracy
may find some individuals credulous
enough to believe that the public
credit needs restoration, but their
numbers will be very small, and COM
posed of men who know about as
much about public credit and what it
means as an oyster does about ASTON
omy.
Our credit is number one; our cur
rency is the best we ever had our
Government was never more wisely
ruled; our laws never better execut-
ed, and our national reputation never
stood higher throughout the world.
What more do reasonable men want?
If they look for perfection they will
never find it. 1t does not belong to
this world, certainly not to that por-
ton of that finds Judgment in the
Democratic party. To seek for it
there would be equal to fishing in
rain-barrel for mountain trout. The
country was never better governed.
Let it alone.

How Democracy Taxes its Counties
in Wisconsin.

The charge of extravaganza
made against the Republican party
proves to be without foundation
where ever fairly tested. The figures
show plainly that Grants admin.
istration has done its work the
cheapest and with the least loss,
compared with the work. done, of
any administration since the organ
ization of the Government. 1t has
been charged that Republican State
administrations are extravagant and
cause heavy taxation. Examination
shows that Republican States tax
the people less and have by far less
debt than Democratic States.
Democratic cities and large towns are
invariably burdened with debt while
the opposite is the rule with Repub-
lican cities. New York city, always
il Democratic possession, is always
groaning with debt, and increased
that debt one hundred million dol
lars while Tilden was in the position
of tho highest influence in his party.
The test applied to the Union and to
States and cities applies equally
favorably to tho Republican party in
the government of counties. Below
are classified the Republican and
Democratic aud the politically vari-
able counties, in separate tables.
That of the Republican counties
shows that upon an average the
property of their citizens is taxed
three AMI t,co-tenths mills on the dol
lar Of valuation and 81 cents per
capita. That of the Democratic
counties shows that their citizens are
taxed fve and eight-tenths mills on
the dollar and 1872 cents per capita.
Observe that this tax is the COUNTY
tar. The State Government has NO
hand in making it. Every county
evies for itself. We see that $780,
500, 1873 worth of property in Repub.
ican counties is taxed only $445, l22
while S134 ,06O, $50 worth of proper.
ty in Democratic counties is taxed
$777, 1897 The Democratic counties
have s2,5O8. 40 less property than
the Republican counties but are tax
ed 1922 more. The same test
applied to the towns and cities shows
that those counties, towns, and cities
in Wisconsin which choose Demo.
cratic government, pay million
dollars year for the luxury, more
than they would have to pay for Re.
publican government The table OF
counties of changeable pcliticsl COM
plexion is interesting also. They
pay higher taxes than the steady Re.
publican counties but less than the
democratic.
The figures of valuation aud tax
are taken from the Secretary Of
States Report for 1875, page I56.

OHIO was carried by the Republic
cans. last week by an increased ma
jority over last year and with gain
of five Congressman. Indiana, with
the help of Plug UgIies and roughs
of Baltimore and other cities out of
the state, was carried for Blue Jeans
Williams, but the Republicans gain
four Congressman and have majorit-
les in both branches of the Legisla-
ture. As the united majorities on
Congressman make Republican ma
lority in the State there is hope of
carrying it for Hayes.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1876-10-19

DEMOCRATIC papers think it strange
that Indiana should elect Republican
legislature and o Democratic Govern
or at the same time. The solution of
the anomaly is very simple The hired
Plug glies could do their work only
in the large Democratic strongholis.
Their votes would give large majori-
ties to the members in those districts
and would count on the State ticket,
but would not count where honest
voting was done. The same anomaly
often happens in New York and Con-
necticut.

THE Republican party believes in
free thought, and in tree labor. 1t
is the champs of human rights,
and has done more for the substant-
ial advancement of liberty and civil
ization than all other parties tc-
gether. 1t believes in the church
and school-houso as the best defence
of the Republic. Il is the party OF
right, justice, and truth. To defeat
so grand a power for good would be
an act of suicide.

The Democratic party says tb.

The Democratic party says The
Republic is a confederay; the Re.
publican party says that it is nation.
Tilden represents the confederate
idea, Hayes the national idea. To
vote for the form er is to endorse the
rebellion, while to vote for the latter
is to endorse the justice of suppress
sion.

THE WRECK OF GOVERNMENT


THE WRECK OF GOVERNMENT.
When the national resources and
credit have thus teen exhausted, ard
bankruptcy and dishonor have fol>
lowed these multiplied bounties TO
traitors, then, and n t until then,
will the nation have paid the debt of
Southern restoration and content
ment demanded by that section and
contemplated as certain under Dem
ocrstic ascendency. Are loyal men
prepared to give up the warfare and
surrender to the enemy after having
sacrificed so much of life and treas
ure upon the field to avert these evils,
or will they again rise in their might
and forever destroy this new con-
spiracy while yet it is within their
power Require the terms of Con-
federate surrender to be strictly kept
without compensation for past trea-
son or reward for future loyalty, and
demand that life, liberty, and perfect
political freedom be protected
throughout the South at any cost,
to the end that the faith and integri-
ty of the nation may be maintained
unimpaired, its honor untarnished,
its loys!ty unreproached and unre-
proachable, and the enjoyment of
peace and prosperity assured by
loyal, enlightened and economical
government be secured throughout
our fair land, as the best inheritance
of the people, and the highest attri.
butes of the Republic.
