JUST so.

At this time the South and West
are the great national burden-'-earers.
BY reason of the determinations of
the internal revenue law, whisky and
tobacco annually pay one hundred and
eighteen millions of dollars, while the
tariff duties on imports for the pro-
lection of Eastern interests realize each
year one hundred and thirty millions.
These vast amounts arc the tribute
stately paid by the producers and
consumers throughout the South and
ayest.
Representative Tucker, of Virginia,
in the House few days since snid:
"In 1867, before the tax on incomes
was repealed. Maine paid tax of ten
millions; now she pays one hundred
thousand dollars. At that time the
New England States paid forty-six
millions; now they pay four millions.
Virginia, battle-scarred and trodden
down by the war, then paid two mil
lions, and now she pays eight millions.
The burden has been rolled off of New
England and placed on the South and
West"
The ingenuity Of eastern capitalists
is constantly exercised to the shaping
of federal Legislation that capital may
be placed beyond the reach of the tax
,atherer. The Ways and Means com
nittee recommend no decrease of the
tax 0n whisky and tobacco. Herein
the Fast Is again victorious. Eastern
commercial circles raised such howl
over the subject that southern and
western delegates we've forced to yield.
This is the old song. La plain speech.
we are again cheated OF our rights
through the heavy artillery tactics of
adroit eastern leaders

LET THE EAST SLIDE.

We are unwilling to see the South
lashed to the stern Of the gotham ship
of stake again. Three times have we
gone forward to the battle line with a
leader from New York, a representa-
tive of the monied men of the east !;
and twice have we met overwhelming
defeat, while the third time our vic
tory was snatched from the tiInid
bands of our candidate. In the next
contest let us try bold western man,
such as Hendricks, or Voorhees,, or
Thurman, with a southern man for
Fice-Presidcnt, and let the east with
its bondholders and its gold bullion
lists slide. Memphis appeal.
The above direct utterance was
pcnncd last week by cur present
sound cotemporary. The scales are
fallen from its eyes. No longer hitehed
to the merciless car of eastern dictation
in party concerns, the Appeal is COM
ing to the front in espousing the
GAUGE of the people against the ex-
actions of the bondholding class. One
of its edit.rs, who has been sojourning
at Washington for some time past,
has grown wise, and hence the changed
policy Of this worthy organ. We have
nothing in common with the east.
The south has been used as = com
mon stepping-stone to serve the pur-
pose Of an aggrandizing east.
No beautiful mosaic work OF mere
partizanry divides the parties as for
merly, but leading domestic questions,
intimately akin to the life of honest
labor and the self-dofcnce inherent in
society,
We are moved to cut loose from tie
, east, because there is no common
ground Of union or harmony with that
section.
We have been used by it to render
the east strong and overbearing. The
south is drifting into the open sea of
resolutc independence she is deter
mined to be more practical, not to be
content with political phantoms, but
with living tangible realities.
Let us organize to resist the en-
croachments of eastern capital. We
will have no peace until it secures q
Waterloo defeat.

Gen. Ewing at the Cooper Institute
Silver Meeting.

He said that the repeal of the re-
sumption act could take the nightmare
off the land. We are the debtor ma
ton of the world, and our currency
must be cut down to less than two
hundred and fifty million dollars to
make it redcemable in coin. Ii the
resumption act was not repealed taxa
ton, next year, would be increased
fifty per cent, and then the cry would
be reputation. Greenbscks are the
best currency we ever had and should
not be tempered with. Three thous-
and Incorporated institutions, holding
four or five billions OF wealth, have
imposed the resumption scheme on the
country, and if carried out they can
rule and rob US and our children for
ever. The apple Of discord about the
status Of the negro and danger from
the southern whites enabled that power
to manage our legislation and finances,
and the resumption scheme was put
through a Republican caucus without
a moments consideration. The oppo-
nents of it wanted the New England
people to join them, but the papers here
seem to be wound up in the money
power. In conclusion, the speaker
commented on the danger TO our free
institutions if the press Is owned by
unchecked wealth, SO that it becomes
an enemy instead of friend of the
people. He did not mean to make Il
TRADE against wealth, but organized
wealth acting On political questions
was as hostile to our free institutions rs

tan civilization in Europe.
