THE RADICAL DECLARATION OF WAR.
From the Louisville Courier-JimrHaU
The passage of the Ku-klux bill and rejec
tion of the General Amnesty bill furnish con
clusive proof of the campaign policy on
which the radicals mean to rely next year.
The Ku-klnx bill is expected to foment dis
turbance in the South which will supply a
pretext for the refusal of amnesty; and the
relations of the people of the two sections
thus muddled, the bayonet election law may
be brought to bear upon the ballot-box with
a show of necessity if not of justicer This is
the warlike strategy to which we have so
often referred. It is a soheme made up partly
of the spirit of eternal hate and partly of the
lust of eternal rapine a hideous revolution
ary scheme, the more hideous because it is
brutal, the more cruel because it is deliber
ate, appealing to the wicked passions of the
Northern people and the venal dosires of the
radical politicians.
The New York Times complains of the "ve
hemence" with which we described the Ku
klux bill when the announcement of its adop
tion by the Senate came to ns over the wires.
Inflection, however, suggests no modification
of our remarks made on that occasion. It is
impossible to regard the measures with any
other sentiments than those of horror, amaze
ment, and disgust horror at its belligerent
features, amazement at such an imposition on
the credulity and patience of the people, and
d sgust at the corruption which permeates the
whole thing from beginning to end.
The rejection of amnesty and the passage
of the Ku-klux bill fix the lines of battle
where we have placed them from the first.
The Democratic party is the party of liberal
impulses; the party of tolerance, nationality,
and peace; the party of union and order
through local self-government; the party of
progress in constitutional freedom and law;
the party of honesty, humanity, and gene
rous ideas in political and civil economy.
The radical party is the party of eternal
hatred, disunion, and strife; the party of
publio pillage and private wrong; the party
of vengeance, rapacity, and double deal
ing; the party with a wooden head and
an iron heart; the party whose morality is
represented by lien Jiutler, and whose
intelligence is represented by Ulysses S.
Grant, and whose entire fabrio embraces an
organized plot against the liberties and pro
perty of the people. Proscription is the first
step in the forward movement of the politi
cians against free thought and free speech.
The Ku-klux bill is confiscation in embryo.
The radical leaders have named Grant dicta
tor. They have set up a machine for sup
pressing ail tne tortus or republicanism as
soon as it becomes necessary to carry out
their design. They refuse to give up power
witnout a ngnt, and they propose to terrify
the country by the bloody spectacle of civil
tra
TV U
The people of the North may choose be
tween the promise of peace offered by a
cnange oi rulers ana tne certainty of blood
shed and the overthrow of our Government
as matters are going. The South is power
less. The free States must fight it out. The
Ku-klux bill is a declaration of war on the
South; it makes the Southern States slave
States once mora; tne bayonet eleotion law is
a proclamation of the vassalage of all the
people to the radical leaders. A peaoeful
outpouring of citizens at the ballot-box may
stay the course of the violent revolution
which Congress is precipitating on the ooun
try. Nothing else can. The radicals mean
office or blood, and are recklessly heedless of
consequences; and the issue of free govern
ment, thus made up, must go to the people
for final arbitrament.
The war for the Union was not a war for
the preservation of the Government, but a
war for a chance to test the quality of free
government upon the field of revolution now
presented to the people.
TAXATION AND TARIFF.
From Wooihu'l it- Clafiin'$ Wekty. N
The revenue reform party professes to have
found the exact balance between free trade
and protection. The country is to be con
gratulated if any party with power enough to
make sound ideas respectable has at last been
formed. Some there are who believe the
revenue reform a wolf in sheep's clothing
the free traders nnder a new name. Only on
the broad principles of universal government,
of the most expansive cosmopolitanism, is
absolute free trade practicable. The brother
hood of mankind calls for interchange of the
products of intellect and industry. 15 at while
national prejudices and national selfishness
subsist, free trade, in its broad sense, is an
impracticability. In revenue tariff, as in pro
tection tariff, the duty of meeting the ex
penses of government and the national lia
bilities is the first proposition. These must
be provided, under whatever form of rule or
theory of taxation.
The secondary question in a revenue re
form is the mode in which taxation shall be
levied whether on articles of prime neces
sity, few in number, but of universal con
sumption, or by the taxation of certain arti
cles with a view to the effect of such tax im
posts on home protection. This latter sug
gestion in some degree involves the principle
of protection. In theory, the income tax,
properly levied and adjusted, is the most
equitable tax that can be imposed. It falls
precisely on those most able to bear it; it
omits the vast proportion of the workers and
operatives from its sweep. But the income
tax is inquisitorial, it is costly in collection,
and so obnoxious to the tax-payers that it
must be abandoned.
This antipathy is, in some measure, justly
due to its inequality and to the unfairness of
making precarious income assessable in like
proportions with permanent income. The
conclusive objection to protection is, that it
is a failure; it dues not protect. It absolutely
obstructs and hampers the greater operations
of commerce, and favors the foreigners at
the expense of the home manufacturers. This
is conspicuously the case in the woollen trade.
In other instances the protective duty works
for the benefit of a few individuals who
monopolize an article of the greatest value to
the whole community, as in the ease of qui
nine. The whole tariff is the result of com
promises, in which the old compact, "Tickle
me and I'll tickle you," is the one conspicuous
feature.
The Lawrence and Lowell mill-owners re
quire protection, so they trade off votes with
the Pennsylvania iron men; the end being a
system of deplorable blunders, a dishonor to
our financial intelligence, displaying to the
world our ignorance of the first principles in
finance, or our asinine patience nnder tha
uiost outrageous oveiloadina. Not less mis
taken in principle, though honest in inten
tion, lias been Mr. Boutweil'a desperate effort
at paying off the national debt in the present
generation, xuo 1110 ui n uuiuu in n-ccuuini.
The seed is sown in one era, the harvest is
gprnered in another. The sacrifices of war
or peace are with an eye to the benefit of a
future race. We of this generatien have
suffered all the personal privations, and done
the mighty deeds of war, not for ourselves
alone, but for all suooeeding generations.
Yet not only do we bear our own burden,
but we heroicallv undertake to relieve poste
rity of their just share. True, that in so doing
we nave raised the national credit; out tno
cost to national commerce baa been incalcula
ble. Mr. Boutwell's patriotio probity is worthy
of all admiration, but it is possible to pay too
dear for one s whistle. If the revenue r
formers can effect a reform in this oue par
ticular, they will do a great work. There is
no justice, no sense, in the nation of to-day
shouldering the debt of the nation or next
century. There is yet another point for the
revenue reformers, the appreciation oi green
backs. Greenbacks sre now the currency of the
nation they have been tiied and not fonnd
wanting. They are as good as gold; in many
respects belter than gold there is no reason
v.hv thev should not be at par. Let but
greenbacks be received and paid by the
Government, either at the current gold rates,
or under such regulations as may reserve the
cold for foreign transactions. Let this be
accomplished, and the Revenue Reform party
will have won their spurs, and earned their
right to be considered a live, independent
body.
REPUBLICAN POLICY.
From the N. Y. Time.
The elements of muoh political disturbance
are evidently gathering about the horizon
The Democratic party is compact, because it
is unscrupulous. Any acts which promise ta
restore it to power in the national affairs are
eagerly adopted, however ninth of bad faith
they may involve. Such acts may be fraught
with consequences which every honest man
and every true patriot deprecates. They may
involve the nation again in immeasurable ex
pense and misery, and subvert every noble
end which the fathers had in view when the
Governmentjwas founded. It is by no means
certain that these most dangerous enemies of
our institutions will not accomplish their
purpose. The South, with but one-third of
the legitimate power at the polls, governed
us by it for seventy years. The party with
which they acted was willing to give them
anything they asked as the price of their
votes, and they will do it again. The amend
ments to the Constitution are only to be ao
cepted while resistance to them is impossible;
and all the costly gains of our terrible war
would be promptly sacrificed if onoe the ex
tremists gained the upper hand. They are
even now held out, openly and eagerly, for
the South to take as the price of place and
power, to be given to the Democratic party
by its vote.
Will the nation allow these fruits of its
victory, purchased with so much blood, and
anguish, and treasure, to be taken away from
it peaceably ? If we do, we must let still
more precious things go with them; for an
other claimant is rising np to demand an
ample share of legal concessions and safe
guards, and boundless pecuniary emoluments;
and this claimant is, beyond any question,
more hostile to our republican liberties and
the truest prosperity of the country than
was the slave power in its most arrogant and
successful days. The Irish Catholic
vote will go with the Democratic
Southern vote. No one doubts that; and it
is precisely this coniiDg coalition which
requires ns to take timely alarm. For it is
now a fact hardly disguised, that the Roman
ists, as such, with all their losses in Europe
pressing upon them, and all their thorough
organization promising them success, are
aiming at the political control of this nation.
The indications of their settled purpose have
been given with greater clearness, and less
reservation, every year since the secret con
vention in Baltimore. Sometimes it has
broken out from the less cautious in express
declarations. "It is only a matter of time,"
says Father Ilecker. The Tablet, and other
representative organs, are preparing the
minds of their readers for it in almost every
issue; and when the collision comes between
State and Church, "the American idea," the
Tablet Boys, "must give way," and with it
"whatever contradiots or does not aooord
with the Catholic idea."
It is noticeable that the hostility of these
two great elements of our future danger,
which are so manifestly drawing towards each
other, is directed to the same objects. In
tense aversion to the common school, to open
and full discussion, and to a free press, cha
racterizes them both. They are mutually
attracted by a strong elective affinity, and
when the power which they covet is within
their grasp, one will cry to another, "Help
me and I will help you. Break up the recon
struction, the South will say, and we will
grant you whatever special privileges,, and
immunities, and subsidies you may demand,
and make it a perilous thing for the pulpit or
the press to speak boldly against your en
croachments. But the live power in this
new tyranny will not be the South. It is
now broken and weakened, and it cannot
readily recover that old boastful arrogance
which the war so rudely humbled. The
South will be the dependant, and will be used
by its abler and more powerful ally to
accomplish its own more ambitious and far-
reachmg designs. The last war was fearful
enough, and it is worth a good deal of
vigorous precautionary action to escape an
other like it. We entertain a doubt whether
it is the wisest policy just now to cjive the
South the very leaders they want by granting
that universal amnesty which some impulsive
and unsuspicious Republicans are so elo
quently urging. And we believe also that
the time has oome to cost aside the delusive
hope of Buocess by temporizing with the other
element oi tne gathering peril. The lines are
irrevocably drawn bv those who govern the
movement. The prize is immensely valuable
and attractive to them. Timidity in opposing
them will only hasten the evil we would avoid,
Our safety lies in just what our position
prompts in speaking plainly, and aoting
with wise but resolute deoision. Republi
cans demand civil and religious liberty for all
our citizens who have not disfranchised them
selves by their crimes; and on that line we
mean to fight it out.
FRAUDULEN V DEGREES.
From the A. Y. World.
There are certain extremists in political
eoonomy according to whose views any com
modity for which a demand exists or oan be
created may be made a legitimate matter of
exchange. By this rule is justified the manu
facture and sule of adulterated food, poison
ous cosmetics, obscene literature, or any
other vile traffic whereby unprincipled scoun
drels fcetk ill-gotten gin. The fact that such
things find ready sale, it is said, shows that
llify axe wanted by very many of the public,
ai.d to satisfy a want, no matter of what
nature, is a sufficient obieot of supply.
"('meat ewj't.r' is the fundamental axiom
nd sole limitation of this law of trade, with
out regard to the buyer's ability to detect the
quality of the offered wares or the use to
which he may intend to put them.
Several of these liberally constructed
branches of industry are doubtless we 1
known to our readers; but there is oue, of
comparatively recent growtn, which is not so
generally understood as it deserves to be.
In every community wherein a liberal edu
cation obtains social recognition there exists
a demand for collegiate degrees; firstly, be
cause the privilege of appending certain ini
tials, asl). v., Lilj. v., al. v., etc, to ones
signature is gratifying to one's sense of per
sonal importance; and secondly, because there
nre certain professional avocations in which
the possession of one or another of these
titles is supposed to be essential. In former
times and in less progressive countries the
conferring of these degrees has been coupled
with the imperative condition that the candi
date should cave proven himself intellectu
ally worthy of the honor bestowed; but in
our advancing civilization a more purely
commercial view of the question is come in
vogue, mere are numerous individuals who
entertain a laudable aspiration for academic
distinction, but who have neither ability nor
leisure to win it by the usual course of aca-
demio study. They are, however, able and
willing to pay for it nearly or quite as muoh
as the preparatory curriculum would cost. At
first inadequate accommodation was provided
in rural colleges for this class of customers by
an extension of the terms on which honorary
degrees might be obtained; but as the demand
increased a separate business has sprung np to
meet it. And the way or it is this: One or two
enterprising persons hire a small house and a
box at the post-office, and procure an act of
Legislature incorporating him or them as a
university duly empowered to grant all
degrees commonly conferred by institutions
of learning. No personal intercourse is hold
with the prospective alumni of this immacu
lately conceived alma mater; but its transac
tions are conducted by means of travelling
agents and mysteriously worded advertise
ments in the publio press. All over America
are customers sought, and even in Europe to
a sufficient extent to rouse a not unnatur-ii
distrust of any Amerioan degree. The
diploma of M. D. is said to find most pur
chasers, though a thriving traftio is done in
LL.D.'s, and orders for D. D. are not in
frequent. Philadelphia has hitherto enjoyed almost a
monopoly of this profitable business, and from
Philadelphia, we are glad to say, comes an
ell art for its suppression; but if rumor be
true there is a similar trade conducted else
where even in our own city to say nothing
of minor rural colleges which eke out their
scanty incomes by the issne of a few strictly
confidential honorary titles. The scandal of
the affair lies not so much in the dishonesty
of the few rogues who send fraudulent diplo
mas as in the carelessness with which legis
lators grant charters to cover such evil doing;
and if a reform is to be sought as, for the
credit of America, we hope it will be it
must depend upon a reversal of the present
practice of chartering any nominal Bcheme
for educational purposes.
