Simon Cameron, from
the Winnebago inlians, many yeara
ago, got the title of "Winnebago" coa
ferrcd upon him. The reoeat devel
opement in approprialione of large
aums to bugus indian tribes, promi
nent the "Teton-Sioux," a mythic
al tribe, gives occasion for conferring
a handsome title —Teton-Sioux —upon
ionic prominent radical politician.
The "Sitting Bull" is aaid to he the
name of the Teton-Sioux chief, thia
would be a handsome cognomen for
ouc of Grant's swindling indian
agents.
The tavern keepers are becoming
alarmed'for their licenses, fearful that
tlio local option vote may be adverse
to Jthe liquor traffic at their bars.
People are wondering what the fiault
will be at the approaching spring elec
tions. The greater portion are of the
opinion that "no license" will carry,
and judging from the expressions we
here from many, who are not 00-called
temperance*men, that they will vote
against grantingMicenses, we are in
clined to think, sometimes, that "no
license" will carry ; the eatire temper
ance element will vote that sray of
course, and will be re-inforced by
those we previously mentioned. The
result, in Clearfield county, a short
time ago, where a majority of over
. 800 was given against licenses, has
greatly disturbed the clas, suae iutd,
as showing the drift of public senti
ment.
When the question of a prohibitory
liquor lawj was submitted to a rote of
the people of this state, some 15 years
ago, the majority against such a law
was 4,000, if our memory nrv us
right—Centre connty, at that time,
cast a majority against a prohibitory
law; whether our county and the
state hare changed front and will now
vote against having any licensed tav
erns, we soon shall see. We publish
the local option law in another col
umn of the Reporter.
A Bitter Debate in Prospect, j
Senator Sumner, although engaged
in preparing his speech on his resolu
tion to erase from the records and
from battlee-flaes the names of bat
tles fought during the rebellion,
does not indicate when he will
deliver it. He expects a bitter debate
over the proposition, and wishes to
participate in it as the leader of the
measure. Under the advice of bis
physician, however, there is no
diate prospect of his calling the mat
ter up. It is stated that some of the I
Administration Senators, confident of |
heiag able to defeat the resolution,

Bio STEAL.—A dispach to the Press dis- |
closes a $1,000,000 steal in Congress. It t

Congress that there is no such tribe now j
" in existence known as the Teton Sioux, for '
whose benefit an appropriation of nine <
hundred thousand dollars was asked for (
last year, and for whom a further appro- f
priatien of two hundred thousand dollars ,
is provided for in the.lndian appropriation t
hill which has just passed the House. .
These parties propose to file sworn affida- '
davits with the Senate Appropriation i
Committee, showing that the disbursement t
of moneys to this so-called tribe, especial- .
ly under the agency ofSujerintendent "Vi

Abolition of Electoral Colleges.
Th death of Horace Greeley at a
peculiar juncture iu national attain is
made ike ocean on for reviving the de ;
mand for the abolition of the Electo
ral Colleges, and the)election of l'resi- j
dent and YiceTreaident bv direct |
vote of the people. Jfr. Greeley, j
however, was himself decidedly op
posed to this demand, and for practi- ,
cal reasons. If it is desirable to have
a,Prcsidcut, this mode of election offers j
to the voters advantages they would
be deprived of by its abolition. If
they voted direct, they could ouly
choose between candidates nominated
under the objectionable convention
system. Hut hy the present plan, as
Mr. Greeley long siuce pointed out,
there is nothing to prevent each voter
from placiug ou his electoral ballot
the names of the perilous for whom he
wishes the electors to vote. These, by
a very similar provision of law, the
inspectors of election might lie direct
ed to canvass, and return with the
Totes for electors. The uatioual
Committee of each party might then
count the vote# cms! lor candidate# on
the ballot* of their party, anil request
tho elector* who hail J Wen chosen by
those ballot* to rote for the pemou*
receiving the greatest number of such
suffrage*. This would do away with
the need for Presidential nominating
conventions, with all the machinery
of primary elections, caucus-to*, wire
pulling, packing, considerations of
availability, intrigue, etc., which such
convention* involve. The friends of
each candidate, instead of working to
carry primary election* and conven
tion* in his favor, would work for him
before the people. Each section of
the party would go to the polls on be
half of their own candidates, and
bring out everyjvote possible iu their
favor; while effort* would teud di
rectly to swell the total vote for the
principle* of the party. Farther, it i*
a curious fact that.eveu at a Presiden
tial elecliou fully twenty five per
cent, of the voters do not exercise the
elective franchise. Disliking the
candidates ground out by jthe conven
tion mill*, and feeling all effort in 1 av
er of others hopeless, they do not care
to avail themselves of the privilege of
choosing between such alternatives.
But with this simple aud slight modi
fication of existing methods, many of
them would take an earnest aud use
fill part in promoting the success of
the party whose principles they most
nearly approved, under the lead of
standard-oearcrs selected by them
selves. Platforms, so far a* really
needful, might be made by the Nation
al Committe, which might consist of
the chairmen of the several State for
the purpose.
Suppose that at the lato election
three million votes had bean cast un
der such a system for Republican can
didates for Presidential electors. Sup
pose them to have been divided in Pres
idential preferences thus : one million
four hundred thousand for A, one rail
lion for B, two hundred thousand for
C, two hundred and fifty thousand for
D,onehuadred thousand forE, and fifty
thousand for other candidates. These
votes being returned from the various
States to the Republican National
Committee, that body would have de
clared that A was the Republican
candidate. At the subsequent meet
ings of the electoral colleges he would
have been voted for aud elected ; with
this difference, that every voter would
have had a far greater freedom of
cheice, and all would be much better
satisfied with the result. A plan for
making local nominations, embracing
the same idea(koown as the Crawford
county plan)/' has been in use in
many localities for years ; aud it works
so well that in some form it can hard
ly avoid applicatiau on a larger scale.
But abolish the electoral colleges,
aud "party lines" must be most tightly
drawn ; the whole available vote must
be concentrated on a single candidate
for each party, whom the voters them
selves will have small share in nam
ing; and candidates will be selected,
then even more than now, not on the
ground of fitness, but on that of their
supposed ability to catch votes at the
moment of election. Under the Gree
ley plan, however, the merits of can
didates will be discussed publicly dur
ing the canvass, instead of privately
before it opens ; and the result of such
a discussiou would sometimes be the
selection by the voters of a very dif
ferent man from him whom a conven
tion would nominate.
The Right jtntl Left in France.
These parties are at sword's points
> in relation to the future government
• of France. The Right is composed of
i men who favor an immediate return
. to a Monarchy. Some of them are
I Legitimists, and would restore the
Bourbons throne at all hazards.
Even if that throne had to be sup
, ported by foreign bayonets, they
| would accept that aid and assistance,
, rather thau establish a Republic.
With this party are associated the
Bonaparte wing of the Assembly.
They bate a Republic so intensely
that their votes are cast with the Mon
archists, in hope that if a Bourbon is
' not recalled to power a Bonaparte
may be. Anything rather than a Rc-
Eublic is their motto. Napoleon may
e neccessary to a king. He never
can be to a President. Under a Repub
lic be and bis co-coDspirators may re
turn to Franca. That country cannot
be bis home under a Republic. For
these reasons the Napoleon faction in
the Assembly act with the Right and
oppose a Republic. The Left are the
positive thorough Republicans ; they
insist upon the Republic, although
tbey disclaim a wish to make the Re
public an extremely Radical one. To
them belong the traditions of the Re
public of 1848—indeed, some of them
were prominent actors in that drama,
so abruptly closed by the catastrophe
of the eovp d'etat. They would ac
cept no other formS)f government, but
they differ not a little among them
selves as to the acceptance of Con
servative safe-guards, although they
are understood to be at least united in
favor of a responsible Ministry, and
an election of the President by the
people instead of the Assembly. They
stand stoutly by universal suffrage,
compulsory and secular education,
and number in their ranks such men
as Garabetta, Blanc, Jules Favre,
Gamier-Pages, Glals-Bizoiu, Eugene
Picard and M. Grevy. These are the
parties which now faco each other in
the National Assembly of France and
also in the country. The former has
a temporary advantage in the Assem
bly owing to several of the Delegates
not representing their constituents.
The people want a Republican form
of government continued and consoli
dated. But many of their servants
act with the Right, and thus thwart
popular sentiment. It was by such a
departure from the known will of the
people that a majority of J/onarchists
was put upon the Committee of Thirty
and the same influence prevents a dis
solution of the Assembly and an ap
peal to the masses of Frenchmen at
the ballot-box. But M. Gambetta
and'the Left stand firm in opposition ,
to the Right and the Monarchists, and
supported by the people. This reso-
lute course of action has produce*! an I
impression upon the Kight, and the)
now manifest a disposition to consider
and discuss plans for the formation of
a definite government. When that
point is reached, the wilt of France
will manifest itself both in the Assem
bly and iu the nation. Msn will then
have to uncover their games and
show their hands. It will then be a'
Monarchy or a Republic. Delegates
, cannot cheat their constituents on the
: final vote a* they have on side issues.
The nation will be arouse*!, and trait
ors to the popular will rnav except
| full justice from the public. M.tJain
| belts and the Left rely upon iho na
tion when the crisis arrives, aud hence
their bold and stubborn fight at the
| present lime. Krauce cannot be hand
-led over to either the Bourbons or the
; Bonaparte* without a tight. That is
J certaiu.— Ay*.
I A NOVEL METHODIST DISCI'S
SION.
At the Methodist preachers' meet
ing, in New York, a few evenings ,
ago, an essay on "Annihilation'' was.
read by the Rev. N. 8. Terry, who
took strong grounds against that doe
triue. The ltev. l>r. True followed,
affirming his belief that eternal pun '
ishmeut meant simply tetal destruct
tiou of the soul as well as the body,
and iu support of his view he quoted
from the Bible various passages, con
cerning the future state, all of which,
he claimed, showed that the death
pronouueed in judgment was final aud
immediate, lie did not believe,
though, that this took place till alter
the Day, leaving aouls dur
ing the iuterregnum in a state of sus
pense.
Dr. True was interrupted several |
times bv the Rev. Dr. Curry aud the j
Rev. hfr. Borbett, who strougly dis-j
sented from his views, and strove to|
prevent his continuing. He was al
lowed to go on, however. After Dr.
True bad tinished, discussion arose a*
to the propriety of permitting the iu- 1
traduction of topics not ia accordance j
with the doctrines of the Methodist:
Church. Dr. Curry aud Mr. Corbett
contended that lbs discussions of the 1
Association should bwconfined with-!
in prescribed limits, as they feared the
admission of anything heretical would;
be very injurious to the Church. They
animadverted also severely upon Dr.!
| True for bringing his ideas before the
meeting. The Rev. Dr. Crawford, the
Rev. George I-aosing Taylor, and
others, argued that the discussions
should be free to all, and that it was
best to meet and contravert strange
doctrine or acknowledge their force;
they also defended Dr. True for speak
ing, as he had done so by invitation
solely, though they differed totally
from bis views. The sentiment of the
majority of the preachers seemed to
be in favor of allowing a liberal range
to discussion. A committee of three
was appointed to consider the matter
; and report rules for the government of
i the discussions.
The Voung Man With Twins
A young man who was asked the
other day by a woman iu a Pennsyl
vania railroad train to hold her twins
for a moment, while she got out to ob
tain refreshments, was subscqueatly
much embarrassed ; because, as the
fond mother did not return, but rath
er took the next train back to the city,
he was obliged to perform the duty of
holding those two babes, one upon
each knee, all the way out to Pitts
burg, and it became somewhat mon
otonous before he reached that city.
All he could do was to sit there and
think, and think and blush, while the
.twins emitted the most and unearthly
yells and enquired in vain for suste
nance. The passengers started, and
seemed to regard the unfortunate
youth as au unnatural father. The
manner in which he soused those in
fants into an orphan asylum indicated
that be was anxious to get rid of them.
And so he was.

Wendell Phillips delivered his famous
lecture upon "The Lo-t Art'. ntSteinway
llall, December Pith, for the benefit of the
I'urehard Institute. Notwithstanding the
cold weather the hall wn well filled The

the brilliant orator's most brilliant produc
tion, but has heretofore e'cj-d phono

The Lecture.
LSDIIS ASBUTMRVIKN lam I talk
to you to-night about "Tin- I.osl Arts '—a
lecture which ha* grown under my hand
year after year, and which belongs to that j
first phase of the lyceum system before iti
undertook to meddle with political duties
or dangerous and angry question* of eth-j
ios ; when it wa merely an academic insti
tution, trying to win busy men back tol
books, teaching a little science or repeating
some talc of foregn travel, or painting
'some great representative character, the
symbol of his age. I think 1 can claim a
purpose beyond n moment's amusement in!
this glance at early civilization.
I, perhaps, might venture to claim that
it was a medicine for w hat i the most ob
jeetiouable feature of our national charac
ter, and tluil is self-conceit an undue ap
preciation of ourselves, an exaggerated es-i
timato of our achievements, of our inven
tion*, of our contributions to popular com
fort, and of cur place. In lact, in the!
great posessioii of the uges wo seem to im-j
agine that weather knowledge w ill die with i
us or not, it certainly began with us,
(Laughter.] Wo have a pitying estimate, i
a tender pity fur tho narrowno*.-, igno-,
rnncc, and darkness of tho bjgonc ages.
We *©cin to ourselves not iiionujio
lize but to have begun tlso era of light. In
other word*, wo are'all running over With
a Fourth day of July spirit of aolf-content.
[Laughter.] lam alway* reminded of the
German whom tho English poet Coleridge
met at Frankfort. Ho always took off hi*
hat with profound rc*pcct when he ven
tured to *peak of himself. [Renewed
laughter.] It seems to ma the Amcrichn
people might be painted in the chronic al
titude of taking off it* bat to itself- -[great
merriment]—and therefore it can be no
wa*te of time with an audience in such n
mood to lake their eyes for a moment—for
tho hour or for the present civilization, and
guide it back to that earliest possiple era
that history speaks for us. And if it were
only lorlhe purpose of risking whether we
boast on the right line, 1 might deapair of
curing u* ot the habit of boasting, but 1
might direct it better! 1 might l<-nd its cir
cle and center on a finer point, on a nohlcr
i*uo than this of merely popular comfort!
and contributions by Yankee ingenuity to
tho tncchauienl imperfection of the age.
Pliny'a Sailors nnd a Prairie Camp-lire.
Well, 1 have been somewhat criticised,
year uftcr year, for thre endeavor to open
up the claim* of old time*. 1 have been
churged with repeating useless fables with
no foundation. To-day, 1 take tbe mere
subject of glass. This material, Pliny
says, was discovered by accident; that
*omc sailors, landing on tho eastern coast
of Spain, took tliuir cooking utensils and
supported them on tho sand by the stones
that they found in the neighborhood ; that
they kindled their lire, cooked tho tlsh, fin.
i*lied the meal, and removed the uppurn- <
litis, and gins* was found to have resulted
from tho niter nnd sea-sand, vitrified by i
the heat. Well!
l In vp bean a doxen times criticised by
i iiumhur ol wise men, In newspapers, who' *
liave said that this wa* a very fill* tale. "
lliat thero never wa* sufficient heat In * I
fw bundle* of itiek* to produce vltrtfiea- 1
li<>n glass making. I happened two years, (
ngo to meet on the prairie* of Missouri,
Prof. Sheperd, who *t*ned from YaleC'ol-| J
lege, mol, like a genuine Yankee, bring*
up anywhere where there is anything to '
do. (Laughter,]
I happened to mention this criticism to*'
him. "Well," says he, "a little practical { 1
life would have freed men from that 1
doubt.' fsnid he: "We stopped last year 1
in Mexico to cook some venison. We got
down from our saddles and put the cook- 1
ing apparatus on stone* we found there,
r,. mblinr t-heny, and when we removed
the apparatus there was pure silver gotten
out of the ember* by the ialease beat of
that nltuost iron wood. Now," said be,
' that heat was greater than any necessary
to vitrify the material* of gla*a." Why
i.oi suppose that I'liny's sailors bad lighted
mi some exceedingly hot wood, May It
, net b* as iioasible a* ia this case?
So, ladies and gentlemen, with a grow
ing habit of distrust of a targe share of this
|ii!od'-m and exceedingly s< ientiflc crili
i ism of aucient records, I think we have
Ik-VTi betraying our own ignorance, and
that frci|uently, when the statement doe*
net look ou the face of it to be exactly ac
curate, a little investigation below the sur
face will show that it rest* on a real truth.
Take, for instance, the English proverb,
which wa often quoted in my college
{ days.
We used to think how little logic the
■ mmon people had, and when we wanted
to illustrate this in in the school-room, it
v B> w hat was culled a "non sequitur"—
die effect did not come from the cause
Inamed. Wo always quoted the English
proverb "Tcnurden's steeple islbe cause
of Good* in Hands." We said : ''llow ig
norant a population!"
But when we went deeper into the hi*-
lory wo found that tha proverb was not
meant for logic but was meant for sarcasm.
One of the bishops had £50,000 given to
him to build a breakwater to save the
Goodwin Sands from the advancing sea,
but the good bishop—being one of the kind
(of bishop* which Mr. Froude describes in!
hi# lecture that the world would be better
if Providence would remove them from it
i -instead of building the breakwater t#
keep out the sea simply built a steeple;
and ibis proverb was sarcastic and not
logical, that "Tenterden's steeple wa* the
, cause of the Goodwin Hands.
When you contemplate the motive, there
was the closest and most welded logic in
the provarb. So 1 think a large share of
our criticism ef old legends and old slate-,
menu will be found in the end to be the,
; ignorance that overleaps its own saddle 1
. and fa)li on the other ide.
Master Artists Inimitable.
Well, my first illustration ought to be
this material glass; but. before 1 proceed j
to talk of the*# Lost Art*. I ought in fair
ness to make an exception, and it is the
[conception or conciel which lie* here.
Over a very large section of literature
•.here is a lingular centradiction to this
-weltering conciel that there are certain
lines ia which the modem* are ill satisfied 1
•\ ah themselves and contented to aeknm-L
edge that they ought fairly te sit down at
j the feet of their predecessor*.
Take poetry, painting, sculpture,
lecture, the drama, and almost everything'
in words ol any form that relates to beau-'
tv ; with regard to that whole sweep, the
modern world gild* it with its admiration'
■f the beautiful. Take the vory phrase*
that we u*e. The artist says ho withe* to
go to Rome. "For w hat f "To study the
masters." Well, all the masters have been
in their graves several hundred years.
W t arc all pupils.
You tell the poet, "Sir, that line of,
;<sur> would rem in J one of Homer," and
he is era*y. Stand in front of a painting,
in the hearing of the artist, and compare
its coloring to that of Titian or Raphael,
and he ri-memher* you forever. 1 rrtueiu-,
bcr ouce standing in front of a bit of mar
ble carved by Powers, a Ycrmonter, r.bo
had a matchless, instinctive love of art unj,
perception of beauty.
~1 -mid to an Italian standing with me:
"Well, now, that seems to me to be per
fectien," The answer was: "To be per
fection," shrugging hit shoulders; "Why
Sir, that remind* you of Phidias at If to!
remind you of that Greek was a greater
compliment be perfection.
All Men Borrowers.
Well, now the v ery choice of phrase* be
trays a confession of inferiority, and you
sej it again creep out in the amount we
borrow. Take the whole range of imagin
ative literature and we are all wholewale
borrowers, in every matter that relates to
invention—to use, or beauty, or form—we
are all borrower*.
You may glance around the furniture of
the palaces in Eurepe, and you may* gath
er ail these utensils of art or use, and,
when you have fixed the shape and forms;
in your mind, I will take you into the Mu
-cum of Naples, which gather* all remain*
of the domestic life of the Romans, and
you shall not find a single one ol these!
medern forms of art or beauty or use, that
was not anticipated there. We have bard- 1
ly added one single line or sweep of bewuty I
to the antique.
Take the stories of Shakespeare, who
! has, perhaps, written his forty odd plays.
Some are historical. The rest, two-thirds
i them he did not stop to invent, but he!
found them. These he clutched, ready-;
made to hi* hand, from the Italian novel-;
ists, who had taken them beiore from the
East. Cinderella aud her slipper is older
than all history, like half a dozen other
baby legends. The annals of the world do!
not ge back far enough to tell us from
where they first came
All the boys' plays, like everything that
auiute* the child in the open air, are Asia
tic. Kawlinson will show you that they
caiuo somewhere trom the banks of the
Ganges or the suburb* of Damascus. llul j
wer borrowed the incidents of his Roman
stories from legends of a thousand year*
before. Indeed, Dunloch, who has group- :
ed the history of the novels of all Europe
into one essay, says that in the nations oi
modem Europe there have been 230 or 900
distinct stories.
He says at least 2UO of those may be
traced, before Christianity, to the other
side of the Ulnck Sen. If this were my
topic, which it is not. I might tell you that
even our newspaper jokes are enjoying a
very rospeetablo old age. Take Maria
Edgoworth's essay on Irish bulls and the
laughable mistakes of the Irish.
Even tho talc which either Marie Kdge
worlh or her father though the best is that
famous story of a man writing a letter as
follows:
"Mr Dkaii Pkiknd : 1 would write you
more in detail, more minutely, iftherewas
not an impudent fellow looking over my
shoulder reading every word." ("No, you
lie—l've not read a word you hive writ
ten!") [Laughter.]
This is an Irish bull, still it is u very old
one. It is only two 250 years older than
the Now Testament. Horace Walpole dis
sented from Richard Level! Edgewerth
and thought the other Irish bull was the
best —of the man who said: "I would have
been a very handsome man, but they
changed mo in tho cradle." [Great laugh
ter.]
That comes from Don (Quixote, and is
Spanish, but Cervantes borrowed it from
tho Greek in tho fourth century, and the
Greeks stole it from the Egyptians hun
dreds of years buck.
Greek Jokes in Their Dotage.
There is one story which it is said
Washington has related of a man who
went into an inn and asked for a glass of
crink front tho landlord, who pushed for
ward a wine-glass about half the usual
{size the tea-cups also in that day were
not more than half the present size.
Tlii landlord said' "That glass out of
which yon are drinking U 40 yean old."
"'Well,'' raid tha thristy traveler, contem
plating It* diminutive proportions, "I
think it i* tha amaliot thing I ever •aw.' 1,
[Renewed laughter.] ,
That -lory a* told ia given a* a • tury of
Allien* 876 year# before Christ wa* horn
Why! all these Irleh hull*are Greek ev
ery one of them, (Great merriment. ]
Take the Irishman who carried around ,
a brick a* a specimen of the house he had
|to sell (laughter]; take the Irishman who,
•hut hi* eye* and looked Into the glass to
see how be would look when he wa* doad
(renewed laughter]; take the Irishman
that bought a crow, alleging the crow*
were reported to live W years, and he
meant to set out and try U. (Laughter.)
Take the Irishman that met a friend who
said to him, "Why, Sir, I heard that you
wero dead." "Well," says the man,
"I suppose you see I m not." "Oh ! no,"
say* he, "I would believe the man who
told me a good deal quicker than I would
you." (Great merriment.] Well! those
are alt Greek. A score or more of them,
of the parallel character, come from
Athens.
i Our old Huston patriots foil that tarring
land feathering a Tory was a genuine pat
ent Y ankoa firebrand— Y ankeeum. They
little imagined that whan Richard C'ocur
do Leon sat out on one of bis Crusades,
among the order* he issued to his camp of
soldier* was that any one who robbed a
hen-roost should be tarred and feathered.
Many a man wbo lived in Connecticut
bas repealed the story of taking children
to the limit* of the town and giving them
a sound thrashing to enfore their memory
of the s|KC Hut the Burgundiaas in
France, in a law new 1,100 years old, at
tributed valor in the east of France be
cause it had a law that the children should
be taken to ike limit* of tho district, and
there soundly whipped, in order that they
might forever remember where the limit*
came.
Se we have very few thine* in that line.
[Laughter.] But 1 Mid 1 would take the
subject, for instance, <>f this very material
—very substance—glass. It f* the very
best expression of man t self-conceit

A new political era is opening before the
country.
The negro-cycle of our politics has
rounded i* it* <anc!usi*ii through civil
war, social violence, industrial disorder,
and ha* ended is giving freedom to four
i millions of the negro race, and the ballot
;e iu adult males.
"The old orjjcr changeth, yielding place
to new."
The politics of this new era will come
heme to every man a business and bosom
as never before, being vital topmate pros
' perity and the maintenance ofa I>emocr*t
jic Republic.
For not'only are the manitoid enroech
ments ol Federal upon Mate powers and
'of both upon the large liberty of Ameri
can freemen now as always to be replied
with ceaseless vigilance ; not only is home
rule or local self-government now as al
ways to be maintained tor the best guaran
tee" of civil liberty and of national great
ness, but bcaidea, the victories ef peace
which are to give splender to the political
era mutt be won against every advantage
which even enemies of free institutions
. could dasire or paasess.
A gigantic Debt, which the honor of the
country it pledged l pay, encumbers all
:i>ur industries with it* oppressive burden.
SrfcrthclfMourtjrtlrmi of Municipal and
Slat* Taxation are crude, unequal, and de
fraud the poor to release the rich. Nevcr
thrlees our system of Federal Taxation is
uch an infamous masterpiece of ignorance
and incapacity, put to tba vile uses of mo
nopolists and favorites and thieve*, as nev
er anywhere has disgraced modern civili
zation since Louis XIV., with hi* methods
of taxation rather than its amount, para-
I lyzed lha industries of France. And along i
with the Tariff, which prohibit* the export
•f our manufactures, abridge* the number
of our industries, cut* down the profit upon
tbo export* from all our farms, planta

from off the high seas, and filches $5 from
the people's pockets every titne it puts $1
into the U. S. Treasury,—along with this
engine <f oppression, stupidity, and fraud
goes a Currency of fiucuatinf value as the
measuro of values in every act of domestic
