Briefly, this income-tax measure is
simply the boldest and latest move OF the
Democracy In their cotnmunistic scheme
OF organizing the poorer sections of tue
country against the wealth and capital OF
the large cities and thickly settled and
established communities. Let US look al
the measures of Democratic statesman
ship this winter, and see how clearly and
distinctly they all point in this direction,
Relieve whisky and tobacco, the luxuries
Of ignorance, vice, and Democracy, of all
taxation;reduce the import duties SO thai
the pauper-made goods of Europe may
be seld ID the South and West at paupel
prices, saddled the industries Of the
North with grievous burdens, distribute
several hundreds Of national money
through the south, under the guise Of
railroad and levee subsidies; initiate the
currency.in which debts. may be paid ;ant
lastly, now, and most desperate Of all
leayy direct tax on the wealth and pro
ductive labor Of the North and East.
Look over the analysis of this vot,
and see how clearly 1t is a marshallinE
of the debtor sections against the cred
itor sections OF the nation, the drawing
of sectional lines as dangerous ant
more wicked than those drawn OIL
slavery. In this 1ist of shame the non
paying States are ID solidly arraye'
against the taxpaying. and this organ
ized army OF plumber, is boldly led b.
the acknowledged Democratic leader
of tine north, Hester Clymer, Of Penn
sYlvania, amsng them. ,asra 6
A corrupt alliance with the slav
powers corrupt alliance with ignol

munism-this is the brief, bad recor
of the Democratic party in recent hi.
tory; and this cGmmunistic phase c
Democracy is the worst and most dar
gerous of all its assaults on the Reput
lie.

terror and CONSERVATION into the homt
of all the land, but greater dang,
awaits us when this blind mass of il
noraIce and brute force, no long,
powerless, ipcoberent, and disjointe,
advances on us, organized, marshalle'
and skillfully led by the malicious II
telligence and malignant ability of e,
