Tax Payer, Which Party Is Your
FriRnbp

President Hayes last official act
was to veto the Funding Bill. This
Bill provided for funding about
S7OO,O0O,000 Of the Public Debt in
three per cent. bonds. The debt is
now drawing five and six per cent.
thus reducing the interest nearly one
half. A New York capitalist made
the assertion while the Bill was
pending, that he would be willing to
guarantee that the bonds bearing 3
per cent. interest would all be readily
taken. But the trouble was that the
National Banks, if this Bill becomes
Il law, were to use these bonds as Sc.
curity for their banking capital, in
stead of five and six per cent. bonds.
They couldn't see quite so much cou
pen ease in this and put the pressure
on the President to cause him to veto
the Bill. Now citizens aud tax-pay.

manded ten andtwelye per cent, and

These are facts and prices recognized
and recollected by all, for twcnty-four
months time would carry us back to
them. To-day, the lands of this State,
of the distant western States, of all
States, are selling rapidly to actual
settlers and farmers at good prices;
tenemant houses in cities and towns
no longer stund vacant wanting ten
ants, but are in demand at an ad-
vaneed rental; lumber is worth from
fifteen to twenty dollars per thous-
and; nails are four and FIVE cents; coal
is worth from eight to twelve cents
in Cincinnati by the barge load; hay
is worth from twelve 10 fifteen dollars
in the stack; hogs bring from four to
six and half cents gross; horses sell
from one hundred 10 one hundred and
fifty dollars piece; good labor, ifnot
generally high, is in demand, and
lteamboat deck-hands get from two to
hree dollars per day on the lower
rivers; railroad stock has advanced
more wonderfully, is paying more
enormous dividends, is attracting
more capital, and is altogether one
of the most paying and exciting
stocks of the world. A bill is now be.
fore Congress to refund a large part
Of the public debt at three per cent,
if it fails now it surely will be done
by the next Congress; private capital
is abundant and in many places seeks
safe investments at six per cent,
while the banks now always have
funds on hands awaiting good bor-
rowers. These are some of the pa
tent, plain and practical changes and
evidences of better times for all,
which afew short years have brought
about.

The Inauguration OF President
Garfield.

Gen, Garfield was inaugurated
amid very imposing ceremonies, an
interesting feature of which was the
marked consideration shown Gen,
Hancock who was there under EN-,
barrassing circumstances, and who,
though not elected President accord
ing to our electoral system, had
nevertheless received a majority Of
the popular vote.i The preliminaries
for the inauguration had been sys-
tematically arranged, and were exc.
cuted in admirable style. Such a
Military parade may seem inconsis.
tent with republican institutions, but
being sanctioned by custom was
doubtless enjoyed alike by civilians
and soldiers. How an affair of such
magnitude could have transpired un-
der Republican management without
the presence Of Gen. Grant, is some.
thing wonderful.
Gen. Garfield enters upon his Pres.
idential term with an unclouded
title, and the country has cause for
congratalation that through him the
third-term folly received blow from
which it can never again rally.
The indecision he has shown in
the formation Of his Cabinet is not a
very hopeful sign, and only seems to
confirm the popular impression Of
his inability to adhere with frmness
to his own convictions, thereby JUST
flying the apprehension that when
perplexing questions may arise in
which the interests of the whole
country are involved he would be toe
timid under any circumstances to
antagonize his party. He is a poll,
tician in the broadest acceptation Of
the term, therefore, his Administra
ton can not in any particular be
foreshadowed
