How the Republ leans Have Re
duced Taxation,

duced Taxation,
The opponents of the Republican party were
unwise in bringing the question of taxation be-
fore the people. They have been met on their
chosen ground and defeated. The record shows
that as soon as it could safely be done after the
war closed the Republican party began to re-
duce taxation; and but for Democratic opposi-
ton bill would have passed at the last session
of Congress reducing internal taxation $780,
100000 annually. In the debate on the Inter-
nal Reve 1ue bill in the House Of Representa-
tives June "a, 1882, Hon. T. B. Reed said
By the act of July 10, 1866, we took off taxes
to the amount of $65 900, 00e. That was a gen.
eral reduction of taxes, especially on manufac-
lures and reduction of the tax on cotton to
8 per cent By the act of March 2, 1867, we
took off $40 0O0, 900, reducing the cotton tax by
one-half of per cent, and making a general
reduction of taxation on business.
By the act of February 8, 1868, we took off
1923, 600, 900 of taxes that is, tie tax of n per
cent on cotton. By the act of March 81, 1868,
and of July 20, 1868, We took off $45,0OO, 600;
which was from manufactures and from liquors
and tobacco. By the act of July IA, 1880, we
took off $50, 100000, stamp taxes and the taxes
on incomes and dividends and other general
subjects of taxation. BY the act of June 8,
1879. we took I IF $20,651,0 900 more of taxes.
The grand total of taxes taken off in pursu-
ance of these several acts of Congress was
$24S, 651 900. &.
In the last session of Congress the Demo-
crats, led by Senator Bayard, opposed taking
off the tax on matches, while other leading
Democrats would not consent to any further
reducti on unless the tax could be taken off of
whiskey and tobacco. The facts are, therefore,
that not only have the Republicans steadily re-
duced taxation, but that the Democrats are
now on record as opposing further reduction
unless they can have free whisksy and Tree to-
bacco. The Republican party can safely APP
peal to the people on this record.

Sending MULES" to Maine


General Roecrans of California, Senator
German of Maryland and one or two other
members of the Democratic Congressional COM
mittee met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Mon
day night to consult in regard to the congress
sional canvass in the various States and prin-
cipally in Maine. E. Q. Hill of Washington,
who said he was on very intimate terms with
Chairman Hubbell and Secretary Henderson
of the Republican Congressional committee,
stood guard at the door on the INSIDE ana re-
fused any information to the numerous report
ers who besieged the entrance. About mid
nloht General Rosecran sent out word that
the committee were consulting with Maine
nolit.ciaps in regard to the canvass in the
State, and that the reports left no doubt OF
Democratic Greenback victory. The commit
tee were at later hour heard in consultation
in regard to the best method of carrying the
State, and how the necessary means could be
provided for that purpose. The plan adopted
in 1880 under the supervision of Chairman
Rarnum, of the national committee, was con-
sidered the best one for this year, the only
question being one in regard to the number OF
mules that could be sent into the State for
that purpose. Senator German was under
stood to be doubtful of the Barnum "mule'
plan this year, as he was afraid the Republic
cans, from past experience, would be prepared
for such an attempt; and also that mules IN
the shape Of 81 900 bills were too scarce in the
Democratic ranks this year to be spared Tor
such wholesale use in Maine. The weight OF
opinion, however, was plainly against MI
German, who is young in experience as a DEM
ocratjc committeem an, this being his first year
of service in that way. Mr.. Hill, who served
in the rebel army, when asked what the COM
mittee were doing in Washington said that SO
far as he could see they were not doing much

"Tinne is Flying"

The polling places will be opened in few
hours. Whatever of political work remains
to be done must be done quickly. The
most must be made of the short time left to
us. This day is leisure day with many. 1t
cannot be better passed than in promoting
the success of the Republican ticket. Good
Republicans to whom Saturday brings some
spare hours can improve those hours, emu
late the busy bee, forego their pleasure and
work for the cause in which they profess to
believe and which they all acknowledge is
of so much Importance to the country and
to them. Tomorrow is day of rest. Let
Saturday be day of labor for the success
of right principles and honest men.

Look to the Returns!

1t ought, in view of the attempted count
out three years ago, to be unnecessary to
urge upon town and city officers the neces-
sity of making absolutely correct returns.
The Fusionists are prepared to take advan-
tage of the most trivial defects, and will
count out every Republican candidate they
possibly can, even if the candidate has
thousand majority. We must remember
that we have to deal with rogues, with
whom fair elections are jest and an honest
count stranger. We cannot too earnestly
urge the utmost care upon officers in charge
of the ballot-box Thieves are around.

Our REPRESENTATIVE Ticket.

The Republican candidates for Represen-
tatives to the Legislature from this city can
not be too strongly commended to the voters
of Portland. The ticket is one of great
merit, and its success should be sought for
by all our citizens. Without disparaging
the worthy gentlemen whom the OPPOSE
ton have nominated it can be sincerely said
that the Republican ticket is the stronger
and the better framed to further the inter-
ests of the city
The Portland daily press., 1882-09-09

ELLSWORTH American: 1t seldom hap
pens that every candidate on the ticket is
perfectly satisfactory to every voter in the
party, aud personal feeling too often infu-
ences the voter in scratching a name from
his ballot, and in some instances in voting
for the candidate of the opposing party. 1t
probably does not occur to such an one that
he is venting his spite at the expense of his
friends. The scratcher or bolter is fighting
his friends in the very camp where he wants
to remain, and the work which they are do
ing their best to build up, he is trying to
pull down. The effect may or may not be
felt by the candidate whose name is
scratched, but it is always, and in far
greater degree, felt by the party to which he
belongs. To Republicans, therefore, who
have sincere interest in the success of
their party, we would say, be sure that you
throw only straight Republican ballots. 1t
not only pays sin the long rum" but leaves
decidedly better taste in the mouth at the
time

Buckle to It.

Republicans of Maine, your State calls up
on you to come forth in your strength and
do your duty. In county, town or village,
bear in mind that there is an imperative be-
hest for you to bend your utmost energies
to the work of making the coming rout of
the Fusionists as complete as possible. That
obligation begins noac and ends only upon
the closing OF the polls ne1t Monday. Every
vote will tell in raising the figures of the
Republican majority. Be sure to bear in
mind that the vote of Maine will be watched
for eagerly throughout the land, and that it
Is incumbent upon every one of you to do
his best to make the overthrow of the Flu
sionists most overwhelming. Let them be
convinced by the logic of the ballot-box that
the voters of Maine want no more of them
and theirs, that they are branded before the
people as empires and charlatans, and that
their petty schemes have mfscarried Maine
has decided to send these pinchbeck politi-
clans and their clap-trap demagoguery to
the rear. Let no Republican fail to do his
utmost to make their coming lesson as Sc
we're as possible.

BATH Times: Cannot everybody see that
the Fusionists fully accept Plaisted's arbi-
trary and unlawful acts, and not only this
but they are endeavoring to make respect
able precedent of the infamous proceedings
of the Garcelon gang; else why have they
brought back Pillsbury and put him and
Garcelon and Fogg upon the stump? And
is there not a purpose in all this? With an
endorsement of the "eight thieves at the
polls next Monday, who can doubt that Su-
preme- Executive-Power-Pl aisted will at
tempt in some way to follow the Garcelon
example? His publicly declared principles
certainly tend that way.

RocKLAND Free Press: In this section
of the State the unnatural alliance between
the Democrats and Greenbackers is one of
form and not of fact. Scion Chase will re-

hand many hard-money Democrats and Flu
SION Greenbackers will cut and slash the
tickets without mercy, while many others
will absent themselves from the polls in dis
gust. At last the thrall of doubt and apa-
thy has fallen from the Republicans, and
they are as strong as ever before in the
faith that their principles are worthy of
their devotion, and are coming up grandly
to the work. We have the enemy at dis
advantage, their ranks are in confusion, and
we are as sure to overwhelm them on Mon
day next as the day is to come.

The County Ticket.

The Republicans of Cumberland County
have put into the field one of the best tickets
they ever nominated. All the men whose
names appear on it are eminently fit for the
positions for which they are named. The
ticket should be voted as whole by Repub-
licans, and they should not permit them
selves to be led to cut it by solicitations Of
opposition candidates, no matter how strong
the personal liking they entertain for those
candidates.

LEWISTON Journal: The Argus arraigns
Maine Republican Congressman for not pre-
venting the passage of the River and Harhor
bill. Yet they voted against it and were
PRESENT during the preliminary ballots and
contests and participated in the fights against
it, at some considerable personal discomfort,
as those know who observed what tre-
mendous outside pressure there was to Sc
cure the passage of this 'divide." 'It was
about as much as a mans life was worth to
oppose this bill against the outside pres
sure,'' remarks Washington correspond
ent. Yet, during all this time Congressman
Laid was in good health and in Maine, at
tending to his political fences, and did not
even take the trouble to pair with member
opposed to the bill, while Congressman
Murch was being applauded by his Rock
land organ for his efforts on behalf OF the
bill-fnally pairing with Missourian who
hadn't been in Washington for months
and pairing at time when one nay vote
killed two yeas. The A.gus's protuber-

IG A. Sala i'll Illustrated London News
During the last ten weeks / have had con-
siderable experience of the relative noisiness
of different European cities. Brussels l
found extremely quiet The plateau on which
stands the Hotel Bellevue and the Hotel de
Fiandre is very hermitage In the way of
hushed traquility the Montague de La Cour
is so steep as to render furious driving and
its consequent buzz most impracticable !;
and the Galleries st Hubert, although always
thrOnged, are never noisy. Paris on the
other hand, although owing to its asphalt
pavements- much quieter than it used to
be, is to the nervous almost intOlerable from
the screeching of the "Marseillaise' by tipsy
patreits reeling home from "PAssommoir." I"
The screeches-Gae1drdsb braillarcs, as the in
censed Citizen Gambetta called them at
Charronne- are quiet as .ear-splitting under
the arcades of the Rue de Rivoli as on the
great lines of boulvards Marseilles is one
of the noisiest cities in Europe. The Came
biere is in chronic state of vocal and rOtal
tumult and innumerable cafes and wine
shops are so many stables full of roaring
bulls of Bashan Nice, on the contrary is
one of the quietest cities of the Mediterra-
mean Very different from Genoa, where
the people are perpetually bowling, yelling
and shriekiag at each other and at their
horses. Leghorn is desperately noisy. Cor
sica is quiet--a little too quiet; and in Pisa
you might hear pin drop, as the saying
goes
