il might not be repudiated and that Its en-
forcement might be the better assured
President Hayes was compelled to abandon
his first and only step toward the civil SER
vice reform to which the party stands
pledged. II is by the political assessments
upon the enormous force of placc-holders,
and not out of anybody's "barl" that the
great corruption fund employed in our poll
tics is raised. The bottom of any "barT'
such as was ever yet rolled into a canvass
would be reached before the sum taken OUT
would amount to q fraction of that raised
by political assessments upon federal
place-holders, employees and contractors AS
compared with the corruption fund thus
exacted from everybody in receipt OF pay
from the general government, from the
great Indian, army, navy and building con-
tractors to department clerks, all other cor
ruption funds must be reckoned as insight
fcant
The effect upon our politics of the use
of these enormous corruption-fund levles
need not be discussed. Should the day
ever come when the question can be dis
passionately considered it must be admit
ted that the corruption of the ballot from
this source is quite as perniclous and far
reaching as that which vast array OF
deputy marshals and supervisors is em-
ployed to guard against. And should the
day ever come when the question can be
dispassionately considered it must be adj
mitted that so long as such vast cor
ruption funds are employed in politics all
the marshals and supervisors must fail to
establish and protect the purity Of the bal
lot-box. The curse Of our politics to-day
is the extent to which money is used to
corrupt politics, to carry elections. And
it would indeed be an extraordinary parti-
san blgotry and mendacity which could
pretend that the enormous official assess.
ment levies can be used in oul
politics with other effect. The bill
is aimed at the cutting off Of this fund II
is nothing to the purpose to assert that die
| the Democrats control the national admin
istration they would tiercely oppose sucl
cutting off of the supply of corruption fund
The Republicans control the national ad
ministration; and in opposing the bill thu
Republican side of the house arrays itself al
the champion and defender of the infam
Gus political assessment system. 1t is al
assertion OF the right of the party to levy
its corruption funds upon the general gov
eminent, through levies upon the Official
salaries and the prices on government con-
tracts paid out of the national treasury
| The salaries are fixed with view to these
assessments. So are contracts awarded
and accepted with view to the payment OF
these assessments. The whole is taker
out of the treasury, and these partisan
a tax upon the whole people as any that
are levied. They represent the amount ad-
ded to official salaries and to official con-
tracts to furnish that fund It's signif-
cant of the audacity bred Of heated politi-
cal discussion that the Republican minority
in congress has the termerity to array its
self in defense of this most shameless
corruption in our politics.
