 In connection with the policy of making State bonds non-taxable-so much com mended by the Courant-it will be we'll to consider what the average day-laborer is worth to himself as an investment, com pared with one of these non-taxable bonds. The latter at per cent. interest will show @ net gain of $1 ,O00 in about Il years to its owner. Now where is "the common day laborer" that can say he can show the same net profit from his labor, in the same time. If not, what is the inference-Why simply, that as an investment $1 ,000 ID bonds is worth more as source of profit than his whole body-In other words, If g capitalist could absolutely OWE you, you " common day laborer," body and soul, for $l, ,OOO, it would be poor investm ent as compared with 8 $1,O0O non-taxable bond-Now the question for you wage. slave to consider is, should this poor in. vestment which you hold in yourself be subjected to high rate of taxation, while @ better investment in bond goes free ?
 Do you, as citizen derive greater ben eft from the expenditures of the State ol General Government than the bond-hold- erp Do you derive greater benefit from the schools. the iails, the prisons, the pub lie roads, the protection of life and prop erty than her Then why should your in-

vestment in yourself be taxed more that You never are seen riding upon the public parks and paved roads you are taxed to pay for in splendid equipages-No. ''The rich can ride in chaises, but the poor must walk-." You pay the police to guard the rich mans property from thieves-you do not need their services to guard yours. Your children do not attend the high school you are taxed to pay for. No, yours work so theirs can attend. By this non-taxable bond theory, you are made to pay aU the expenses, while they receive the benefits
 Pause a moment and reflect: This in- vestment you have in yourself, is paying the expense of the whole machinery of gov ernment, State and National, from the highest official to the lowest. More to the President alone each year than $1O, 1000 if you can save from your meagre pay. The labor investment is paying into the hands of non-taxable bond investments all it's gains and mortgaging the gains of genera tons to come. And why is it. Simply because you will persist in the suicidal policy of electing these same bond-holders to rule over you whose interest it is to rob you and free themselves from the burden of taxation. Tney reap all the benefits, you pay all the bills, aye even for the very whiskey drank on presidential funeral ex- cursions.
 How long will you consent to be slaves when your votes might make you free2
 In conversation with gentleman from the South, he admitted that the act of freeing the slaves was great blessing to the South, for, said he, we can get now the same amount of labor, without risk or in- vestment, for 75 cts per day that formerly cost us from one to one and one half dol ars as interest on the cost and support of the slave, and we run no risk of losing by his death, or the accident of sickness, or in- capacity of old age. Our surplus can now be invested in non-taxable bonds. which exempts us from the burden of taxation and leaves the slave to pay the larger por- tion.
 This reasoning ought to awaken thought in the wage-slaves of the North. For the non-taxable bond theory is fixing the same yoke on their necks. Will you tamely sub- init that the investment you hold in your. selves in your labor-shall be subjected to heavier burdens, than an investment in bonds. Before deciding the question just think what you are worth as an investment compared with $1 1000 non-taxable bond PoQuossnock, Conn. REPos.

The Hartford Tunes true to it's instincts and it's desire of forcing the wordngmen of this country down to " the condition to which" (according to the patriarch of the democratic church-the NesO York WorldD "it has pleased God to call them, takes sides with its aristocratic brothers of republican persuasion in vail ing over the passage of the Anti Chinese bill by both houses of Congress-. and forgetting it's assumed role of "democra- cy," pleads for the !" one man power" of Guiteau's president to thwart the express will and sentiment of the whole country, by interposing that relic of monarchy, the ssveto."
 Into what sad straits 8 democratic journal must have fallen, when in order to to it's nature it invokes the assistance, yes the virtue of one who it has heretofore denounced as 8 thief and fraud.
 It also assumes the audacity of compar- ing Chinese and Chinese emigration with that of Germans and Irish, and the circum stances under which they emigrate, as ii there was a shadow of 8 parallel in the case,
 Let us eeamsae.
 The Ohinesesare peculiar race, which history showsSaever could assimilate with another. If there are any foolhardy enough to gainsay this, let them consult the history of the Philippine Islands. In this agitation here, history is only repeat. ing itself; and if they are permitted to effect Judgement, history will repeat itself again in their absorbing all the positions of art and industry in this coun' try as in that; and then the American may hear another 7" cry" though of 8 still small voice, which will admonish him that the time for him to ego has arrived.
 In reference to the comparison, which ii so insultingly made by that class eternally hunting for "oheap labor," of the Chinet with the Irish or German emigrant, ths difference is this, that one is imported for the express purpose of 1EssEN1Na the rewards of labor, while the other comes tt escape oppression and is invariably found in the van of those who strive to secure for labor something near it's Jssu resOard One is used to depress-the other strive to elevate.
 But there ia little to gain by arguing with political sneak-thieves, for although they discern this difference as we'll a others do, they discern also that it i against their selfish, subtitle, plunderint schemes to recognize it, and they will con tinue to deal out their sophistry and throy dust in the eyes of the workers just s' long as the workers can be induced t, listen to them.

A Connecticut Farmer on the Situation

ED. EXAMINER extreme to which this gush and nonsense is being carried on over the memory of our late president must begin to be about nauseating to well-balanced, observing minds. The Hon. Blaine, of Mulligan fame, makes the most of the occasion to spread and display himself before the American people, and our Congress seems to delight in lavishing the peoples money on all who were Tn any way connected with the sad affair, and it is even expected that the honorable gen. tlemen who strove to drown their sorrow at the funeral by the aid of whiskey will also be rewarded for their services; and the taxpayers will pay the whole bill without murmur. I believe we should do suitable honors tosthe remains and memory of the late president, but can Hon. Blaine or any other man tell what great loss the people have suffered. Gan the farmers or the laborers say that they lost 8 friend when the president died. Does any productive industry experience a depression How out of place to call him 8 "martyr" and place him beside such man as the great and noble-hearted Lincoln. One labored for the emancipa- tion of race, the other to letter all races in subserviency to the money power which aided in his elevation.
 If we had any spare cash it seems that monuments to Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Franklin and other illustrious names in Americas galaxy of benefactors should receive our first attention, but with great public debt that robber legislation has forced upon us, perpetual mortgage on ourselves and intended for generations to come is it not time that we who have Halt " or at least until these debts are paid.
 If this raid on the treasury is to con- tinue the American taxpayers will be the basest slaves and most consummate fools if they do not repudiate the whole nefari- ous scheme. Just think of it, the people, the j~d6cious people, furnishing all the means of carrying on the war to 8 success full termination, now find themselves in debt to few bondholding no's-producers, millions of dollars for the privilege. We farmers never could pay our debts if we gave away our yearly income, and these gifts that Congress lavish so freely are only the results of our self-denial. We wear poor clothes and deny ourselves many comforts that we may discharge our debts, and are even obliged to work nights and rainy days to do it.
 l am surprised to see how few of my brother farmers understand the situation, yet feel it my duty to do all in my power in my humble way to arouse them to a realization of the situation.
 The meanest passion of man is avarice and that is the power now ruling us. However we must not despair, for some time wickedness will compass it's own destruction aud while we rebuke the doings of our present unworthy taskmasters we shall look to brighter days in store when the party of Reform comes into power and guides the destiny of our great republic.

Governor Bigelow's Fast Day Procla

The wisdom of our forefathers recogniz- ed the divine law as the basis, and the di- vine favor as. the indispensable condition of all public and private prosperity. Pen- etrated by these convictions, they were accustomed at appointed times to seek to deepen their sense of the majesty of the law of God, to acknowledge and repent oi their transgressions of it, and to implore the forgiveness of Him Sin whom we live, and move, and have our being."
 In accordance with the venerable usage which they have bequeath ed to us, here by appoint Friday, the seventh day ot April next, day of public fasting, humil- iation, and prayer. And I recommend the people of this Commonwealth to refrain on that day from their usual employments, and, ID their homes and places of public worship, and in such ways as may seem to them most fitting, humbly and penitently to approach Almighty God with supplica. tions for his pardon and blessings.
 Let us endeavor to obtain 8 profounder sense of the greatness of the divine law, and the necessity of our obedience to it. Let us thiuk upon, and confess with shame and sorrow, the transgressions of our peo- pie, and their departures from the faith and principles of our pious ancestry, and from the ways of duty and virtue. Partic ularly let us reflect upon, and consult to- gether with reference to the best means of abating the intemperance, hcentiousness, corruption and crime which are alarmingly prevalent among us. And from that holy life and sublime self sacrifice which the whole Christian world will on that day of hallowed association unite in tenderly and solemnly commemorating, let us draw as. surance of divine forgiveness and love, in- spirations of higher devotion and noblel living, confidence in the future of our sin. full but glorious country, and that hope which books beyond the heeting years, and lays hold of life eternal.
