Despite the Intensely hot weather, tho
people Of Chicago muzt laugh at the venora-
bic old gentleman who owns tho Chicago
Times, md who Is advising everybody not to
pay taxcs declaring TINT SHREWSBURY, SIN
NET, "and their compecrs," no less than
uAMppEN and CnoMwEIr., GEORGE WAsrl1No-
TON, SAM ADAMS, md 1IANcooK, refusod to
pay their taxes, and TINT tho Chicago tax
fighter may expect to 1.-Two in tho worlds re-
nown with those historic porsons. Let us
look into this pieco Of hlstory: Did OLIVER
CnoMwkLL, JonN HANCOCK, HAMpoEN,
GEonaE WAsn1NoroH, Shrewsbury, SIDNEY,
and Sam ADAMS, when called upon to con-
tribute, aay, 31o0 oach, to pay their local
ta1os employ m attorney, stating that, II
ho could by any legal ingenuity and device,
my technical error in the proceedings,
any mistake on the part Of tho public
officers, defeat tho collection Of tho
tax, they would each give him 10
per cent OF tho Sum anyel; that il to say,
tlatjf he could by legal ingenuity awindlo
tho Government out OF its lawful revenue,
they would give him 10 per cent Of tho pro-
cceels Of tho robbery? Did CROMWELL and
GEoRaE WAsH1NoToN, HAapnEx md Jouv
HANCOCK, resist tyranny by any such potti-
Jogging IS tl1isS Are thoy to be held up rs
examples for mon who Tepudiate debts, and
refuse to pay rntablo contributions to tho Or
t1inary expenditures of thoir local Govorn-
ment2
We think there aro other historical o1am-
pies who will nt the caao bottor. Suppose
wo substitute JAKE REuM for GEORGE WASH.
1No1ox, aud tho Whisky Ring for CROMWELL
md this compeers." and periapa We will
aud that the Chicago ta1-hghtor ia moro
htly represented Tho whisky men owed
| the Government 90 conts per gallon tar in
stead of paying tho tux, thoy paid JAKE
REHM 20 cents, the Gaugors j, aud sorne other
PERSONS 20, and the other 40 they kept. The
Government lost all, and for this COIL
| duct the American people hold them
Justly punished by conviction aa
criminals md imprisonment in jail
and Penitentiary. The Chicago tux
fighters mako similar arrangements; they
hire aomp ono for percentage Of tha tax to
defeat lis collection, md thon pocket 80
much Of the tax they avoidpaying as may DO
left aftcr division with the attorney. And
