Republican elected
The great evil OF the south is its ig-
norance When the Senate passed the
Blair bill Democrats pretended to sup
port il, hut three times has this bill been
defeated in q Democratic House, and the
beuighted south stands waiting for this
bepefcient Measure which their represeD-
tntives have promised them.
They say the surplus ought to be re-
duced So 1t ought. Bat where WAS
there better opportunity than to refund
the direct tax paid du,ing the war by the
loyal states The Republican Senate
passed such bill, which would have
given S2D, 900 to the State OF Delaware,
but the Democratic House killed the bill,
leaving the $40 900 it appropriated in the
treasury; and still they are whining about
the surplus.
The Republican party Is willing to re-
duce taxStion 1t is willing and anxion7
to take cff the tex on tcb eco and snuff
thus saving $3l 900, 600 and the tax On
alaohul used In the arts, amounting to
IS 600 600 more We are wiling to do
this, notwithstanding the fact that your
fellow. citizen, SecreTary Bayard, did not
want the tax taken { Il VI matches.

everything they promised. There has
been no rtdusiion of the internal revenue
