Homeless and peDniless he who aiored her
Stricken in youth by the cold hand of death;

The Centennial Near,

| The foundation Of this government Is. and
has always been, the capacity Of the people
10 see things as they sre, and to adapt their
/ legislation to the actual facts Of their oondi-
| iiOn- This lies below all constitutions aud
laws, and the success Of the government, no
matter of What form, depends on the amount
of it the people possess. There has been
| temporary loss or decline Of this faculty in
the United States during the past seventy
years, under the influence Of the eager desire
! felt very soon after the revolution to put the
/ doctrines Of the Declaration Of Independence
into actual practice, which iy.l frs; TO the re-
modelling % all tie state constitutions, and
next to the agitation against slavery. 1t is
! safe TO say that nothing short of actual
demonstration would have satisfied nine-
tenths Of the American people Of the extent
of the ch nge which the growth Of manu-
faciures and Of large cities, and the spread Of
rapid immigration by the aid Of steam. have
wrought IN lie character and circumstances
Of the population. There are many who are
still nos convinced, and talk iondly of this
city as if 1t were simple New England
tJwn where the ieaecns and the minister
and the a. fore handed men " could have
things all their own way if they would only

II this knowledge OF the charges in the pro-
bIem wrought since The revolution had come
sooner, the anti-slavery agitation would have
prevented its bearing much fruit, so long
and 50 thoroughly did that agitation absorb
the Thought and attention of the class into
whose hands reforms. IA uraliy fall. Indeed,
it is safe to say that 1t is only within fve
years that the mind Of the country has been
waking up TO the fact that republican insri-
tu,i0ns, like others d. not work Of them
selves, and cannot be 50 constructed as to
serve for all time; and we shall probably
witness, during the next quarter Of a century,
vigorous effort to regain tho ground we
have undoubtedly lost in all that relates to
the administration Of jIstice, the punishment
Of crirne, the collection and disbursement Of
taxes, the procedure Of legislation, and tho

Partisansnip vs.. Patriotism.

We stated incidentally that the amount OK
taxation borne at this time by the American
ueople was actually greater than the usual
savings of the country. 1t is proper that
this. aud all that it involves, should be very
seriously considered, for no grayer OF more
menacing fact ever compelled the attention
of a nation. Virtually it implies that our
scheme of government is a failu-e- The only
defensible ends of government are such as
ameIiorate the general condition, afford Sc
curity from oppression, aud give full play to
all the energies and productive capacities OF
the people. When, therefore, II appears that
the outcome of our governmental system thus
far has been to absorb all and more than all
the excess Of new capital produced over ex-
penditures. it is clear that the system Is rot
fulfilling the purposes for which 1t was es-
tablished, but that on the contrary 1t has de-
veIoped into an agency of oppression aud
tyranny. The ideal conditions attaching to
good government have In fact become re-
Yer-ed in this country, and instead OF the
government existing for the sake Of the peo-
pie, it is the people who exist for the sake OF
the government. Between such state OF
things and absolute and consienceless despo-
tism the distinction is far more fanciful than
real. When people have been so overborne
by the burden of governmental machinery
that the expenses OF maintaining the system
not only absorb all their savings but Land
them further in debt every year, they are
suffering evils the same in kind as those en-
Gured by the French masses before the reyo-
luton, al d though ths mere brutality OF
absolutist agents is absent, the ultimate in
iury inflicted is not the less real and acute
Had the harshness and insolence of old-time
tax-gatherers accompanied and emphasized
tho growing drain upon the public treasury
and the public productive capacity, it Is in
deed probable that 1t could never have reach
ed the present inordinate figure. The forms
Ct freedom has therefore in this case operated
to mask the progress Of spOilatiOn, and the
delusive belief in a general independence has
contributed to blind the MASSES to accumulat-
ing wrongs. What the actual growth OF
taxation has been during the past quarter OF
century a few figures will show, We take
the following table from Governor Tilden's
message:

The New York Bulletin has added TO the
facts collected by Governor Tiiden a series of
tables giving startling exhibits of the com
parative growth Of taxation and population
since 1860. During this period the popula-
tioa of the whole country hes increased 40
per cent, while the ordinary expenses of the
federal government, exclusive of interest on
the debt, have increased 200 per cent The
population of New York State has increased
81 per cent the taxes have increased 200
per cent. The population of New York city
has increased 30 per cent. and the taxation
800 per cent. Massachusetts, shows "a per
cent increase in population, and 217 per
cent increase in taxes. Boston shows % per
cent increase in population, and 3l4 per cent.
Increase in taxes. PhiladeIphi. has gained
80 per cent. III people, aud 3I7 per cent. IN
taxes. Chicago has gained 262 per cent. in
population, and L;65 in taxes; and 50 in
like proportion throughout the list of states
and cities. Mr.. David Wells estimated a
year or two ago that the annual amount OF
new active capital produced was S546, ,0OO,-
OO0. Since that calculation was made the
local debts have grown and the federal taxa
alton has been slightly reduced, so that about
the same average Is maintained. The fact,
therefore. remains constant that the expenses
Of government are eating up the savings OF
people and involving them in debt, and II Is
beyond doubt that the continuance Of this
process must result in general rum and hank
ruutcy. In view OF such a state of things
the partisan wrangles of our politicians N
Congress acquire a new significance. 1t Is
but too apparent that with d large element,
and that the most active and influential IN
public affairs. the good Of the whole country
Is quite g subordinate consideration, and the
interests of party are the domInat IN
flrences. The democracy has now the oppor-
tunity for which it has been yearning for 80
many years. Not only has it the power OF
initiating reform measures, but OF forcing its
opponents 10 adopt Its lroPosais::or take
ground in opposition 10 reform. Instead OF
improving It's opportunities, however, II ap-
pears TO be chiefly desirous OF manufac' uring
q two-faced, non-committal policy on the
currency question, and the test which II ap-
plies to every proposition L. will II help us IN

tnat he prospect FOR relief frora the burden:

i spirit firm, erect and free,
That never basely bends a knee;
That will not bear feathers weight
OF slavery chains for small or great;
That truly speaks from God within;
That ne, ,er makes league with sin;
That snaps the fetters despo;s make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God, and Him alone,
And bows no more than at His throne
And trembles at no tyrant's nod;
A soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can snile at enrse or ban
