IT was the PROGRESSIVE Age, William M.
Rust, editor, that in 1867, talked thus con-
cerning government bonds:
The only laws exempting this property from
taxation, passed BY Congress, are those prohib-
iting States from taxing it. This law is entire
ly superfuous; for the supreme court OF the
United States has repeatedly decided that the
States cannot tax the borrowed money OF the
government. So the issue, if any, is not with
the Radical Congress, but with the Constitu-
tion and the United States supreme court.
Congress and the loyal people are in favor OF
the equal taxation of all the property OF the
country. But they are also in favor of the
governments discharging its honest obligations
to its creditors. The government was COM
PEELED to borrow money to put down Demo-
cratic rebellion. Not Copperhead in the land
would lend it dollar. They all declared that
it was going to smash, and never would be
able to pay. In order to obtain the money it
agreed that its bonds should be exempted from
taxation. Every honest man is now in favor
of doing as it agreed. 1t is false that these
bonds are in the hands of rich aristocrats.
More than one half Of them are in the hands OF
people of moderate circumstances. Secretary
McCulloch proposes to fund these bonds as
they become due, issuing therefor bonds bear
ing five per cent. interest This acU remedy
the inequality achich now erists In the only acay
it can be done
Well, the bonds have been funded at four
per cent, and the Age is dissatisfied. Queer
critter, that Rust.

THE Biddeford Union and Journal says:
From all sections of this county come the
most cheering reports concerning Republi-
can prospects for a sweeping victory in Sep
tember. Not only are the Republicans pull
ing harmoniously together, but they are all
at work-zealously and enthusiastically la
boring for the good cause. Gentlemen who
have not been active in campaigns for years,
are now seen with their coats off and are
found in the van, earnestly doing their whole
duty. This feeling, which pervades the par
ty in every town, hamlet and nook, will add
largely to the Republican vote of last year
and insure brilliant triumph.

''E. V. 81 REPORTS the results of recent
interviews with politicians whom he has in
terviewed for the New York Tribune. They
think the ''Grant boom" is over and ''the
prospect is, therefore, that Grants name
will not go before the Convention at all. He
cannot afford to go into scramble for the
nomination. If he should only be q candi-
date instead of the candidate, with large
vote, but not enough to nominate him on
the first ballot, he might be beaten, for the
Blaine men and the Sherman men would be
pretty sure to combine against him. Sup
posing Grant to be out of the fight, inn
agine the South will be pretty evenly
divided between Blaine and Sherman, with
two or three States holding off at first and
voting for Washburne or some mere compli-
mentary candidate. Blaine will probably
have Virginia, the two Carolinas, Alabama
and Arkansas, and Sherman may count on
Georgia, louisiana Mississippi and Ken
lucky. In the North Mr.. Blaine may eX-
pect the support of all the New England
States except Massachusetts, and possibly
Connecticut, and may also depend upon
Pennsylvania, Iowa, Kansas and the Pacific
Coast States. Massachusetts is evidently
leaning toward Sherman. Ohio will OF
course back him up stoutly, and with her
will probably stand Michigan and Indiana,
unless the latter State presents Gen. Harri-
son as candidate. The heavy New York
vote, we may expect, will be held aloof, for
time as least, from the close struggle be-
tween the friends Of Blaine and Sherman,
and all politicians will see that it is among
the possibilities of the situation that fresh
New York candidate may be brought into
the convention if the contest is prolonged.
Vice President Wheeler, Secretary Evarts
or Hamilton Fish would be highly available
in such an event.

Boston Herald: eff the Democratic
party wants to carry single Northern state
next year, it should hasten to repudiate the
course of those Mississippi Democrats who
drive off opposition candidates by violent
measures. The federal bayonet II, posse is a
much less formidable danger to the north
ern mind than the bulldozer's shotgun IN
esse. If it gets to be understood that the
Democratic party in the South will not al
low of the existence of any political oppo-
sition, the average Northern man will de-
eide that it is not the party to rule this coun-
try. 1t ceases to be a question of party, and
becomes one of civilization and free govern
ment. We do not hesitate to say that the
course of the Mississippi Democrats, if per-
sisted in, merits the extreme penalty appli-
cable to state which fails to maintain q re-
publican form of government, and justifes
the employment Of a federal army, If neces-
sdry, to enforce obedience to the constitu-
tiOn"

THE Somerset Reporter adds an annex to
some remarks it made on the feeble state of
honest Major Smiths memory, and now
says: ''We have remarked that Candidate
Smith needed an annex for the develop
ment of his memory. If his friends had set
at work building such an attachment to
the Oldtown Statesman, he would not have
denied that letter. Before he will be called
upon to draw up message those friends

Remember that the only reason why your
State taxes were not reduced this year was the
Republican deficiency of three hundred and
ten thousand dollars last year.-Mdine Stan
ddrd.
| REMEMBER that the deficiency" not
caused by increase of expenditures, but by
the mistake of the Legislature in 1877 in
levying tax of only three mills on dollar,
will be paid out of the tax levied by the Re-
publican Legislature of 1878, and turned
into the Treasury this year. Remember
that it does not come out of the tax levied
this year. Remember that the deficiency
has nothing to do with the non-reduction of
the State tax by the fusionists this year.
Remember that the fusionists imposed tax
this year as great as was imposed last year,
though they had no deficiency to care for.
Remember that the Standard has misstated
the deficiency" multiplying it by the mys-
tic number three.
THE Argus will doubtless be pleased at
the following remarks made by its Green
back orator, Blanton Duncan, at Bath the
other day:
The Democratic organization is useles, and
it is going to pieces. That party will be beaten
in every Northern State this year. The quar-
rel between Tilden and Tammany will lose
New York by 100000 majority. But there are
10000 Greenbackers in New York, who next
year will have as good a chance to win the
State as anybody. The Tilden men may have
electoral votes enough to throw the election of
President into the House. The Senate would
elect the Vice President in that case, and jeff
erson Davis might come to be President
through the death of the Chief Magistrate.
The Mississippi Bourbons will certainly elect
Jefferson Davis to the Senate, unless they are
beaten by the Greenbackers, and Bourbon
Senators will make him president of the SEN
ate.
The Bourbon mob allows no man to run for
office in Mississippi without the consent of the
Bourbon leaders. The Democratic party has
inverted its former principles.

The Stark County Democrat says that
while it is true Mr.. Ferrall is money
lender, yet he is not one of the grabbing
kind, never in fact having been known
TO deal usuriously with anybody. Now,
how is this for usury. He buys from a
poor man who was nPcessitated to sell
to him, a note for $50, due in three
months, on a good man, and refuses to
give more than $50 for it. We happen
to know that that note was promptly
paid one month before due. Figure on
that Archie, and then tell us if the rate
of Edwins per centage is always within
the statutory bonds Carroll Free Press
We learn from Mr.. Ferrall himself
that the note was not paid zone month
before due"-nor has he received the
money on it to this day, although about
four years have passed.
The note referred to was signed by an
irresponsible party, and was wholly un
saleable. Mr.. Ferrall gave the money
only to relieve the necessities of the
man, who was in straitened CirCum.
stances, and who had large family to
support, and who promised to return th'
money and lift the note b. fore il waS due
The note, it will be seen, was not "gilt
