Hearken. Dye Republicans!
The Bedford Inquirer, of last week,
prints a double-leaded editorial, in
which it pronounces fairly and square
ly against tho just and honest doctrine
of Equal 'Taxation. It proceeds to ar
gue in this style:
"Let us see how Equal Taxation
would work. Equal Taxation would
require that every man who owns a
dollar's worth of property should pay
his exact proportion of the amount of
tax requisite to pay the debts of the
nation."
Thus reasons the Inquirer. Well,
isn't that right? Isn't it wrong that
the man who owns but a dollar's worth
of property is compelled to pay more
than his proportion of the taxes, on ac
count of the bondholder, who owns
millions, being entirely exempt? True
the man who owns but a dollar's worth
of property, is not visited by the Fed
eral tax-gatherer in person, but he
pays his share of taxes in everything
he buys from the merchant and the
manufacturer. The importer pays a
duty, or tax, upon every article he
imports; that tax is added to the price
of his goods ; the wholesale dealer pays
it to the importer, the retail dealer
pays it to the wholesale dealer, and in
turn and finally, the retail dealer adds
it to the price of his wares and com
pels the consumer, who owns but one
dollar's worth of property to pay it.
So, the manufacturer pays a federal li
cense and in many cases a direct tax.
lb- adds the amount of his license and
tax to the price of thearticles he manu
factures. From a cigar, or a plug of
tobacco, to a web of muslin, from the
cradle to the coffin, these taxes follow
the purchaser, even if he owns but one
dollar's worth of property. Now, if
the bondholder, who pays no taxes,
were required to pay his just propor
tion, if taxation were made equal, it
inflows, as a matter of course, tnat li
censes and taxes upon manufacturers,
and duties upon imports, could be less
ened, and thus the poor man and those
of moderate means would become the
gainers.
The Inquirer says further:
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress has not made an equal tax law,
hut it is a just, fair, righteous and lib
eral one."
Now, there's an admission for you ! !
"The Republican Congress has not i
made an equal tax law!" Write that. ]
down, reader! Make broad vourphy- j
lactones, ye who swear by the Bedford
Inquirer, and write this sentence upon
them in blazing characters. We want
every "Republican" in Bedford coun
ty to understand that his organ admits
that the "Republican Congress has
not made an KqiWT. tax taw." If it is
not equal, how can it be "just, fair,
righteous and liberal?" Because in
oonus under a thousand dollars are not
taxed ? Is (hat, the reason it is "just,
fair, righteous and liberal?" That
might do to talk about, if there were
no other taxes than those on incomes.
But, how about the taxes on manufac
tures, the licenses, the excises, the
stamp duties and other federal taxes
of a similar character? Are not these
paid, in a great measure, by those whose
incomes are under a thousand dollars ?
Yet, because, small incomes are not
taxed, the property of the bondhold
ers, who suck the life-blood out of the
business interests of the country, by
absorbing the gold and silver and bury
ing it in their safes, are also to be ex
empted from taxation ! llence, while
the poorer millions pay the excises, li
censes, and stamp duties, the property
of the rich bondholders goes scot-free.
Such is the system advocated by the
Inquirer. Now, VA C are opposed to all
this, opposed to it, unqualifiedly, em
phatically an uncompromisingly. We
are for Equal Taxation upon all species
of property. Upon this ground we
plant our standard, and we ask every
fair-minded, just and honest man to
speak out and say whether the ground
is not entirely tenable.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress has not made an equal tax law."
—Bedford Inquirer, Aug. 8.
GOLD SI.SO !
Gold has risen to a premium of $1.50
in greenbacks! making a greenback
dollar worth but 6< cents in gold.—
Who has depreciated the currency in
this manner? Who has been in pow
er during the last four years? An
swer, the Radical party. When the
war closet!, a greeuback dollar was
worth 80 cents in gold; now after
three years of peace, it is worth but 00
cents. The funding bill passed by
Congress, the reckless extravagance of
the Radicals in adding millions upon
millions to the Federal debt, by keep
ing up the Freedmen's Bureau and a
standing Army of 50,000 men, and their
repudiation of greenbacks as money to
be received in payment of the Federal
debt, are at the bottom of this matter.
The people can now see what our own
currency will come to if Grant should
be elected.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress has not made an equal tax law."
Bedford Inquirer, Aug. 8.
DEMOCRATIC KEGRAES.
The Radicals are extremely solicitous
about the sensibilities of the Democrats
in regard to the fact that large num
bers of negroes in the Southern States
are beginning to vote the Democratic
ticket. Who gave these negroes the
right to vote? Who forced Negro
Suffrage upon the unwilling people of
the South? The Radical party. If the
black pets of Radicalism choose to vote
with the Democrats, we can't help it.
They arc forced to vole by the Radicals.
If they vote the Democratic ticket, it ;
is not the fault of the Democrats, but
of those who made them voters. If
you, Messrs. Radicals, had not forced
the ballot into their hands, they would
not vote the Democratic ticket or any
other. But you have put the club into
the hands of the Negro, and if he uses
it to break your own heads, you can
blame nobody but yourselves. Don't
come crying to us about it.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress has not made an equal tax law."
Bedford Inquirer, Aug. 8.
DISGUSTED.
The Republicans of this county, are
becoming thoroughly disgusted with
the course of their organ, the Inquirer.
A prominent man in the party said in
our hearing, tiie other day, after read
ing Lutz'article in opposition to Equal
Taxation, "Well, the man does seem
to he demented !" Republicans gener
ally complain of the slang about "reb
els," "copperheads," rf-c., which tills
the Inquirer from week to week. They
say the time for such talk has gone by,
and express a desire that the great ques
tions of the present be fairly presented
to the people, without reference to
those that are dead and gone. But
this Lutz cannot and dares not do.—
He must tie continually digging up the
skeleton of the dead rebellion and rat
tling its dry bones in people's fas.—
This kind of jugglery, he thinks will
amuse his party friends until after the
election, and after that he doesn't care
whether the people understand the
issue or not. We do not wonder Re
publicans are becoming disgusted.
"True it is that the . epubliean Con
gress has not made an equal tax law."

(iiil'.AT SPEirCH OF OOV. SEYIIOI'R.
We give on our outside, some ex
tracts from the speech of (Jov. Sey
mour, delivered in New York,on the
2oth of June, which we commend to
to the careful attention of tlie working
men and tax-payers, as well as the
moneyed men of the country. If any
body wants to know the position occu
pied by the Democratic candidate for
President, on the great questions of
the day, let them read this speech.
With a statesman holding such views
in the Presidential chair, there will be
hope for the credit of tiie republic,
hope for the laborer and the tax-payer,
and hope for the liberties of the people.
Now, let Grant, or his keeper, Wash
burne, show that they have as clear an
understanding of the affairs of our gov
ernment, before they ask the suffrages
of an intelligent people.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress has not made an equal tax law."

Ox*: of the Vice Presidents of the
Seymour and Blair meeting, on Satur
day evening week was hitherto a Re
publican. "That's the way the wind

Grant's friends say that he shuns
public demonstrations. That's a mis
take. The shunning is all on the side
of the demonstrations. —Prentice.

A vn,l,Axor (OJIPORSN OF *AM
>ll V ASH LIES.
The last issue of the Inquirer fairly
stank with falsehood and malignity.
Forty Torn Peppers, kicked forty times
out of Hell, for lying forty times more
villanously than the original Tom
himself, if rolled into one, would not
be equal to lying Lutz, of the Inquirer.
For instance, the Inquirer declares,
with the solemnity of a Pharisee pray
ing in the market-place, that the Dem
ocratic party, by adopting the princi
ple of Equal Taxation, proposes to tax
the poor. Do the poor hold govern
ment bonds? Did the poor make
millions of dollars out of the toil, the
sweat and the blood of their fellow
poor in the factory, in the workshop,
by daily labor on the farm, or on the
gory field of battle? Who is it that
made money during the late war and
whose wealth is untaxed ? The bond
holder ! Aye, the bond-holder who
jrays no taxes upon his millions, whilst
every poor man in the land does pay at
least one-tenth of his duly income, in the
increased prices of every thing he eats,
drinks and wears, under the present
Radical regime. By Equal Taxation,
the Democrats mean that they will
tax every citizen according to the val
ue of his property, including the wealthy
and aristocratic bond-holder. Every
other interest is taxed now, and in
order to make taxation equal, the
bond-holder must pay his proportion
of a just and equitable levy. Tax the
thousands of millions of government
bonds, and the taxes upon other inter
ests will be lightened, and of course
the poor will be compelled to pay less,
when the rich who are now exempt,
are made to pay their just share. Lutz
can lie, but let him chop us some logic
on this subject. The people are not
tho fools he takes them to be, and
when he undertakes to make them
believe that by taxing the bond-holder,
the poor man's taxes will be increased,
he only exposes his own contemptible
mendacity. The L. L. of the Inquirer,
has turned poor man's friend! What
a pity that he didn't think of assum
ing this philanthropic role a little soon
er. During the war he said, " poor
men ought to go and Jight ," but the L.
L. considered himself a rich man and of
course, didn't "go and fight." And
then, when the veteran braves came
back from the war, how snugly, like
an innocent little spider in its web,
waiting for the coming fly, he sat in his
cosy office, waiting for the bronzed and :
scarred soldier to step in and give him
the collection of his bounty, back pay, j
&c., for which he charged him only a !
small fee, say thirty, or forty doliars, ;
because, you see, the soldier was a poor :
man ! Oh ! yes, the L. L. is the friend j
of the poor, and doesn't want the bond- j
holders taxed, for fear of injury to the j
poor who hold no bonds. Long live
the great philanthropist, L. L.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gross has not made an equal tax law." j
—Bedford Inquirer, Aug. 8.
THE Somerset Herald, in an article
complimenting the llarrisburg Patriot \
as "one of the handsomest papers with- !
in its knowledge," talks about the
"revolutionary sentiments of Frank
Blair," Arc. Our friend Scull possesses
talents which we are sorry to see per
verted in an abortive effort to bolster
up the fortunes of a party whose record
during the last three years, we do not
and cannot believe his judgment sus
tained. But as party ties seem to be
so strong that they bind men of even
Mr. Scull's intelligence to the support
of such monstrous outrages as the Im
peachment Conspiracy and the forcing
of Negro Suffrage upon an unwilling
people, at the point of the bayonet,
we are not surprised to find him de
nouncing as a revolutionist, one of the
bravest and purest of the great soldiers
of the Union army, one who fought to
put down armed revolution and who
seeks to check Radical revolution by
restoring the governments which Con
gressional Reconstruction has over
thrown. 1 >id not Congress, by the sword,
overthrow the governments formed by
the white people of<fhe South, under
which t hey had ee>tme hack Into the Union f
You eonnot deny this, friend Scull.
Well, then, is it revolution to restore the
governments thus overthrown, even if
the army be used to do it, as Gen. Glair
suggested? Your party has revolu
tionized the Southern State govern-
ments ; we seek to restore them as they
stood when the people of those States
had reorganized them after the close
of the war. Your party strives, by
force of arms, to give political power to
the Negro, whilst it disfranchises the
white man ; we seek to give the peo
ple of each State the right to determine
for themselves the question of suffrage.
Now, who is the "revolutionist,"
Frank. Blair, the Democrat, or U. S.
Grant, the Radical ?
Is not IA\HH! Taxation Republican?
Is it not Democratic? Where is the
true Republican who will follow the
lead of Lute in opposition to Equal
Taxation t
The Radicals hung the keeper of the
Andersonville prison,Capt. Wirtz, and
gave its founder, Govern >r Brown, a
glad welcome to the Chicago Conven
tion.
DKNLRTIXG THF. SHIP.
Almost every exchange that we pick
up, and every flash of lightning as it
passes over the wires, bring the intelli
gence of accessions to the Democratic
ranks. The people are getting sick of
the party that is taxing them to death
and destroying their liberties. Below
we give a few prominent conversions
to the Democratic ranks:
Hon. F. G. Backus, who was elected
Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio,
has come out flat-footed for Seymour
and Blair. The Judge has "gone
back" on the Radicals, and is going
to back-us in this Presidential fight.
Col. Lyman L. Jackson, of Perry
county, Ohio, made a speech recently,
at Circleville, renouncing Radicalism
and declaring in favor of Democracy.
Hon. Charles Morris, of Troy, Ohio,
late a Radical State Senator, has forsa
ken Grant and taken the stump for
Seymour.
Col. C. C. Gardiner, U. S. Assessor
for the 27th District in New York, has
written a letter to Maj. Gen. Sloeum,
announcing that he will support Sey
mour and Blair.
The Ulster Democrat, New York,
heretofore a Radical sheet, has discar
ded Grant and Colfax and placed Sey
mour and Blair at its mast head.
The Jordan Transcript, hitherto Rad
ical, has become a warm and efficient
supporter of Seymour, Blair and the
Union.
The Ripon (Wisconsin) Representa
tive, heretofore a leading Radical pa
per, has become disgusted with radi
calism and left the foul p: rty.
Senator Henderson of Missouri, elec
ted as a Republican, is going to take
the stump, in that state, for Seymour
and Blair.
The City Treasurer ofSt. Louis, elec
ted by the Radicals, has left them and
joined hands with the Democracy.
Col. W. B. Thomas, Collector of the
Port at Philadelphia, under Lincoln,
has come out for Seymour and Blair.
Judge Mellon, of Pittsburg, has left
the Radicals and is using his influence
for the success of the Democratic nom
inees.
Judge It. M. Biggs, of Fayette Co.,
Ohio, always a Republican, made a
powerful speech the other day, against
the levolutionary measures of the Rad
icals, and urged his friends to support
Seymour and Blair.
Col. J. M. Council, of Lancaster,
Ohio, who was a Lincoln Elector, for
the State at large in 1801, also add ros
ed the meeting.
<l. M. Barrel 1, Esq., of Media, Pa.,
who had been elected Secretary of the
Grant Club at that place, signed the
roll of the Democratic Club, and re
nounced all connection with the Radi
cal Party.
Eighty-eight members of the Union
League, of Philadelphia, were "ex
pelled" in one batch from the "gin
palace," on Broad Street. Cause—will
vote for Seymour and Blair.
A German Republican Club in Phil
adelphia, numbering over one hundred
men, has unanimously declared for
Seymour and greenback payment of
the national debt.
Only one member of Lincoln's orig
inal Cabinet is now acting with the
Radicals, and that one is the notorious
corruptionist, Simon Cameron
Honest men are "coming out from
among the foul party" all over the
country, and in October there will lie a
general stampede. Come while there
is room ! The doors are still open.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress lias not made an equal tax law."
—Bedford Invuirer, Aug. 8.
Captain T. li. Lyons, of this place,
had the pleasure of being nicely shelv
ed by the Democracy. It is no use.
Only such soldiers as Blair can get a
nomination.— Bedford Inquirer.
Now, what a cunning fellow! Of
course the gushing sympathy for Capt.
Lyons, manifested by the L. L. of the
Inquirer, will have its influence. But
the fact that Capt. Lyons voluntarily
declined the nomination, rather spoils
the effect of the L. L's crocodile tears.
Me had better show some of his sym
pathy for the one-legged Republican
soldier, Capt. John S. Stuckey, who
was mercilessly and shamelessly cheat
ed out of the Republican nomination,
as we shall show to the satisfaction of
every body, in due time. Of course,
the little whiffets that harbor in the
kennels of the G. A. R. (Grabbers Af
ter Rations) waiting to snap up the
crumbs that fail from the Radical table,
yelp and whine about Gen. Blair. We
have no doubt the General feels very
bad when he hears the bark of such
whelps.
Even here in Bedford and through
out the county, the Union ranks are
being almost daily augmented, &c.—
hn\nirer.
True, every word of it! The late
Republican party, having become the
Radical Disunion party, and its Na
tional Committee having formally
dropped the word "Union" from the
party name, Republicans by the score
are joining the true Union Republi
can party, the great, invincible Demo
cracy. Bedford Borough and Bedford
county will verify the truth of this
assertion in October and November
next.

trict, lor John 4'cssiih. on that Issue!
Last week the GAZETTE proposed a
few questions for Tom Marshall to
answer in the speech which he was to
make at the Radical meeting on Satur
day evening last. Our first question
as to whether the Radical or "Repub
lican" party is in favor of Negro Suff
rage, he answered by saying that the
Chicago platform fixed that. It de
clared that Negro Suffrage should be
forced on the unwilling South, and
that the people of tho North might
enfranchise the negro if they saw prop
er. Rut he took issue with the plat
form on this question, and said that it
was a shame that the "mudsills," the
"doughfaces," the "poor white trash"
of the Nortli did not give the negro
the ballot! lie was in favor of it,
whether the people of Bedford county
liked it or not. He said he would
come into this district and help to elect.
John Cessna to Congress on that issue.—
All of which we hope he will do.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress has not made an equal tax law."
—Bedford Inquirer, Aug. 8.
DOST BF. GULLED !
Some of the Radical blow-hards in
this town, are engaged in circulating
the story that Democrats in Bedford
borough and elesewhere intend to vote
for their fuss-and-feathers candidate,
Grant. There is not a word of truth
in it. The story might well be told
the other way. There are numbers of
Republicans in this place, who never
before voted the Democratic ticket,
who will vote for Seymour and Blair.
The ides of October and November will
prove it.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress has not made an equal tax law."
—Bedford Inquirer, Aug. 8.
"I denounce as a falsehood the first
Tammany resolution, which alleges
secession to be dead, and declare that
it is more alive now than ever."—Got?.
Wise.
TlfUs falsely quotes the Bedford In
quirer. Gov. Wise said no such a tiling.
He did say he differed from the first
resolution of the New York Platform,
which declares that secession is dead,
"for" said he, "the people intend this
fall, to secede from Radicalism:" Of
course, the Inquirer will not have the
honesty, or manliness, to correct its
false quotation, for that would spoil the
effect of its falsehood. A party must
be hard up for political capital,
when it undertakes to twist a playful
witticism into a serious assertion.
"True it is that the Republican Con
gress has not made an equal tax law."
—Bedford Inquirer, Aug. 8.
LITTLE John Cessna has obtained
the conferees from Franklin county
for Congress. Of course, he will be
nominated, and then we shall have a
pretty renegade ticket. Grant for
President, Hartrauft for Auditor Gen
eral, Cessna for Congress, Itowe for
Judge, all "renegade Democrats."
Well, there is one consolation in this,
the old Republicans, who built up the
party, are getting cheated out of the
offices; the trading politicians who
joined them after they had triumphed,
are eating them up. Serves them
right.
TIIE Inquirer has the following
THE TWO SOLDIERS.—"Let the
President elect disperse the carpet-bag
State Governments." F. P. Bair, Jr.
"Let us have peace." U. S. Grant.
It might have added :
Arm the uiggersand disfranchise the

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the

have acted for years, and it is alKjut
time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WC)RK
and put pour Democratic newspaper into
the hands of every Republican who will
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem

cost. We appeal to them to see to get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.

A NEW REMEDY IN CONSUMPTION.—
A Physician who had Consumption for several
years, with frequent bleedings of the lungs, cured
himself with a medicine unknown to the profes
sion, when his case appeared hopeless. He is the
only physician who has used it in his own person,
or who has any knowledge of its virtues ; and he
can ascribe the degree of health he now enjoys to
nothing but the use of his medicine ; and nothing
but utter despair and entire extinction of ull hope
of recovery, together with a wuut of confidence in
all others induced him to hazard the experiment.
To those suffering with any disease of the Lungs
he proffers a treatment he confidently believes
will eradicate the disease. Medicine sent by ex
