A Word to the WOrkingmen.

What party has controlled the affairs
of the nation for the past sixteen years?
The Republican party. Who has levied
and collected enormous taxes, given
away millions of acres of our public
land, plundered the National Treasury,
squandered our revenues, paralyzed our
Industries, closed our mines, rolling mills,
furnaces, forges, and workshops, and
brought our people to starvation, bank
ruptcy, and ruin; thrown thousands of
honest men out of work and banished
them from their homes to tramp" upon
every thoroughfare and highway in the
land in pursuit of employment? Is it
not the Republican party that is respon-
sible for all this stagnation in business;
for all this misery and woe?
Shall we give this party which has
been guilty of these crimes, of this
outrageous career, new lease of power
Shall we vote for Hayes and Wheeler
and thus perpetuate the reign of Grant
ism? Shall we be drawn into a decoy
movement and cajoled into the farce
of voting for Cooper and Gary, who
cannot possibly obtain single electoral
vote, and thereby aid in continuing the
Republican party in power? Or shall
we act the part of sensible men, and vote
in manner that our ballots will count
in the great battle for reform which will
come off in November? Is itnot folly, il
it not madness in us, who have suffered

military power. 1t is a mere question
whether President, who bas been told
by the Supreme Court of the United
States that Congress has never yet en-
acted q law that can be regarded as an
execution of specific power confided in
it, shall be permitted to tell his subordi-
mates to enforce as law that which is no
law. 1t is question whether we live
under a government of laws, or under
the will of dictator.-George TScknor
Curtis.
Mr.. TILDEN's strength with the peo-
pie, says the Concord Patriot, is founded
upon a rock of fact which no sort of
shams can shake. This is illustrated
very plainly in the experience of the gen.
tleman who rowed his skiff along the
shore of Lake George for five or six days.
He says: While making the journey 1
stopped at the farm-houses on the shore
of the lake to get my dinner and lodg-
ings, and altogether l met some thirty
different families. l invariably engaged
the head of each household in conversa-
tion on political subjects, and every one
of them said he was going to vote for
Tilden. One honest old farmer saids 81
have always voted the Republican ticket,
but / have come to the conclusion that
it is about time for change, and Gov
ernor Tilden seems to be about the right
sort of a man. Two years ago paid
sixty-eight dollars taxes on my little
farm here, and this year had to pay
only thirty dollars. That's the man for
u.s." 1t is against such rock of fact that
the storms of demagogue abuse can not
prevail

Official Crimes and MisdemeanOrs.

Reform is necessary even more in the
higher grades of the public service.
President, Vice-President, Judges, Sem
ators, Representatives, Cabinet officers,
these and all others in authority are the
peoples servants. Their offices are not
private perquisite; they are public
trust.
When the annals of this Republic
show the disgrace and censure of Vice
President;
A late Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives marketing his rulings as pre-
siding officer; 81
Three Senators profting secretly by
their votes as Lawmakers;
Five chairmen of the leading commit
tees of the late House of Representatives
exposed in jobbery;
A late Secretary of the Treasury fore
ing balances in the public accounts;
A late Attorney-General misappropri-
ating public funds;

barely escaping conviction upon trial
for guilty completely in frauds upon the
revenue;
ASecretary of War impeached for high
crimes and misdemeanors;
The demonstration is complete that
the first step in reform must be the peo-
ple's choice of honest men from another
party. lest the disease of one political or
ganization infect the body polite, and
lest making no change of men or parties
we get no change of measures and no

Tilden in Michigan.
Toledo COhio) Democrat j


A gentleman in this city received a
letter from Hon. Alfred P. Swineford,
Marquette, Michigan. and editor of the
ablest mining journal published in the
United States, which puts at rest forever
the unscrupulous charges against Samuel
J. Tilden, of having swindled, through
alleged shin-plaster issues, the miners
in the Lake Superior region. This we
have not now before us, but are prom
ised more detailed and definite statements
within few days.
1t was highly creditable to Mr.. Tilden
that he never himself authorized any
contradiction of this and other kindred
ISLANDERS that have been Illuminated
against him by some unprincipled Re
publican editors, who may be justly
characterized as "curs of low degree"
This triumphant refutation comes
from a truthful and disinterested source,
and states that the county of which
Marquette is the seat of justice, four
years ago gave General Grant eleven
hundred and odd majority while this
year it will not fail to give Mr.. Tilden
less than one thousand majority. This
shows the estimation in which Mr.. Til
den is held by the people whom it is
charged he plundered. On the good
authority of Mr.. Swineford, it is stated
that Mr.. Tlden made disbursement
during one year, of upwards of a million
dollars for the benefit of the toilers IN
the mines, and that their sense of graft
tude for these favors will certainly be
manifested in the November election.

An Attempt to Buy Victory in Indiana

The Republicans are desperate over
the loss on the German vote in Indiana.
Discovering that the great influence of
Schurz could not effect vote against
the Democratic candidates, they are now
trying to buy them I'D. The following
affidavit explains itself:
STATE OF IDIANA, COUNTY OF LAroRTE.
/, Charles Bauman, of the city of Michigan
City, being duly sworn, on oath say am
legal voter residing in Michigan City, and
that on the 2Sth day of August, 1875, / was
interviewed by Charles S. Winship, Frank
Doran, and q. J. Willetts, the latter Post
master of Michigan City, and the said Viii
let's and Doran offered me twenty-five dollars
in cash, and promised that DIR. Landon Rose,
the candidate for State Senator on the Re-
publican ticket, would give me ten dollars
more, and that Frederick g. johnson, Be
publican candidate for County Clerk, would
also contribute something more; and further,
that, at any time when wanted five or ten
dollars for political purposes, l could call
at the postoffie of the said Willetts, Post
master, who would give me the money;
and further, in case the State of
Indiana should go Republican at
the October election, l should have a
guardianship at the Northern Indiana
State Prison, and the consideration asked OF
me by these gentlemen was that was TO
give rly support and influence to the Repub-
hcsh party in this pending State and Presl-
Dental campaign.

The Skunk System,

For good, lively Sunday reading we
commend the following from the best of
Republican authority, the Chicago Tri-
bune:
Governor Hayes's friends are response
BILE for the precipitation of what may
be called the skunk system of campaign
ing. He must not, therefore, complain,
if he, like his betters, comes in for some
befouling. The chief of the New York
custom ring, stool-pigeon Bliss, the fellow
conspirator of Babcock, prints in his New
York paper reckless charge against the
personal honor of Governor Tilden. This
charge, which is wholly the result of a
forced construction by which every bus
iness man in Chicago could be accused
in the same-is refuted by the very doc
uments from which it is violently
garbled. The point is utterly worthless,
too despicable for patient discussion, but
as the organs of Hayes insist on ruthless,
ly prying into all the privacies of per.
sonal character, he must not be sur
prised that the guns are spiked with am
munition from his own magazine,

An open Letter to a I" Bloody.Shirt u
and Rebel Claim !" Editor.

Mural HaLstead, Esq, Editor offhe Commercial:
You are fond of assuming that the Gin
cinnati Commercial is an independent
paper, yet it somehow happens that, after
trying to convince your readers through
most of the year that the Republican
organization is rotten institution that
no longer deserves to be intrusted with
the management of the Government,
you turn up before the election advo-
eating its continuance in power. Of
course, some excuse must be offered to
induce the public to believe that the
same old added eggs on which Grant,
Chandler & Co. have been sitting until
the smell ascends to heaven will hatch
out the healthy chickens of Reform by
putting Hayes like fresh hen, on the
nest, championed by the same old cocks.
The solid South, the rebel war claims,
and, above all, the bloody shirt, in shak-
ing which you out herod Alex. Sands's
Times and all the lesser lights of the old
party machine, are your tom-toms during
the present campaign. These war-cries,
accompanied with vociferous reiterations,
are simply intended to divert the reason
and conscience of the people from con-
sidering the real issues of the contest
the responsibility of the party in power
for the shameless demoralization and cor
rupt peculation that have grown up un-
der its administration in every depart
ment of the Government.
The readers of the Commercial in the
Greeley campaign were furnished with
| substantial reasons why heSouth should
be solid against the Republican party, in
the speech of Governor Gratz Brown, an
original anti-slayery man, at Springfield,
Ill, on September 5, 1872, published in
your paper, in which he says:
Upon the termination of hostilities a
military occupancy was had of the State
that had been in rebellion, and by act of
Congress of March 2, 1867, they were
constituted into separate military de-
partments. Satisfied that there was every
disposition manifested there to acquiesce
in the result of the war, and confirmed
still further in that belief by the report
of the General of the Army, who made
an extended tour of inspection with that
view, Congress, by acts passed in June,
1868, began the work of reconstruction.
Prior to that time the Confederate debts,
local and general, had been repudiated,
so that the vast increase which has since
resulted is all -ehargeable directly to the
reconstruction policy of the President.
1t has been done entirely under the
auspices of Republican rule. thas been
sustained and fortified throughout by
the Administration at Washington.
What the measure of that spoliation has
actually been may be best realized
from the tabulated statement l now
| ouhnoit.

Startling, however, as this exhibit
may seem showing these impoverished
communities to have been plundered OF
$16S, ,O57 ,O1O in three short years of at
tempted restoration, it only represents
very small part of the injury inflicted.
The enhanced cost of conducting the
State administrations has fully kept pace
with the unprecedented imitation Of
debt, while taxation has gone in many
instances to the extent of stripping the
people of all means of living. Thus, in
Arkansas, the annual cost of con-
ducting the Government was, in
1860, $2O4,099, while in 1870 it
is shswn to have been 50, 14O,3 ,372.
The tax rate before the war was five and
a half mills it now exceeds forty mills.
Florida shows like increase of the gen.
eral tax rate from twenty-three cents on
the 500 to S1.50, producing $4,000 of
taxes then as against $471, ,S1l of extor-
tion now. In Georgia the expense of
administration was, in 1868, 1855, 800 /;
in 1871, $924,413, with tax rates in
creased from six and quarter cents to
$4.10 on the $100. The tax rate in Lou

issippi the conduct of affairs, which cost
annually about 100000 in 1860, is re-

an increase of five hundred per cent
Alabama likewise has been victimized
frightfully. The tax return there in
1860 was 1851, i'll, in 1870, s., 2,9S2, 1882
with an increase in the rates from twenty
cents to 50 on the 800. North Care,
lima, in like manner, has been necessi
tated to multiply four or five times bel
taxation to meet expenses, passing from
forty cents to $1.S0 on the $100. South
Carolina has been for carpet-baggers "s
field of cloth of gold"-the taxes levied
for State purposes being in 1861 only
S4O0, 900, while last year it was reported
as over S4,0OO,0 900. Texas, the last o
