GREAT EIPhEOII OP -
HON, JAMES . G. 'BLAINE,
An Oxiginai Pennsylvanian, ,
Now Representative in Congress Jro.n
the' SteiteOliffitiiie, delivered in the'
city of Philadelphia. on Wednesday,
September 23d, 1868, ,
Fe Lterv-Orm pot The questions at
issue in -the . pending Presidential can
vass naturally divide theinselves into
two classes; those relating to recoil
struction-cand -those-relating to finance
and taxation. My honorable and-elo
quent friend from Tennessee [Mr. May
nard], who, will ' follow me, is much
better prepared, by, reason
,of the lo
cality of his residence, Ids- means of
observation, and the results of his , per
sonal experience, to present to you the
issues growing out of reconstruction.'
lie can say literally in regard to re
construction that he has seen all of it,
and that his own public life and ser
vices have-become largely interwoven
'with it. .1° therefore leave to him the
discussion of those questions , ; and, in
the brief h ur in 'which I shall trespass
upon your patience, I shall devote' my
self entirely to that other series of
questions connected with the national
finances and with national taxation.
In the recent exciting and momen
tous -campaign in my own State, the
Democracy, under the lead of Mr. Pen
dleton, made these questions of the
'fifianceAnd taxation the prominent and,
doininitnt issued ; and upon them, as
you well, know, their-defeat was more
disastrous than any to which they were
ever subjected sinceqheir organization
- as nparty in Maine. 'I cannot but be
lieve that the same principles and con
clusions which governed-the minds of
the great mass of the people of Maine
will govern. and control the action of
the people of Pennsylvania. [Applause.]
The democracy told us in our Maine
campaign that of all people in the world
the Americana - at this time were the
most down-trodden, the meal over bur
dened, and the most_oppressed, and,
that this over burdening and Tres
siotiivas the natural sequence oftlio
sj stem of,Pederal taxation now in force.
tobserve in a morning paper of your
own city, in a - speech by Ex-Governor
B:gler, that the same refrain is taken
app here,,and that the - people of Penn
sylvauianr, invited under - the game cry
that was raised im Maine to-abandon
tleir support•of the Repuljlican party
and wander off after the lead oft those
to' hom we are already indebted for
the great legacy 'of a rebellion, to sub
due which cost five hundred thou Sand
lives and twenty-seven hundred
mil
lions of dollars: Gov. Bigler -says that
he Would not enconrege the mere croak
er about, taxation, but that really we
are the worst tax-ridden, people upon
the face of the earth,-- - =-He — intimates,
however,. thatle had not himself been
conscious ofthis terrible oppression
until after reading a speech - made by
Mr. Pendleton at Bangor, in the State
of Maine. • [Laughter.'
Now, to that speech of Mr. Pendle
ton's, my friends, it was my privilege
to reply before many large and intelli
gent audiences in 'the State of Maine,
and 1 esteem it a peculiar privilege to
be allowed the opportunity of replying
to it on the soil of my native State of
Pennsylvania., and before an audience
of the loyal people who have achieved
for that State her present great renown
and glory in the annals of our common
country. [Cheers.] I have inquired
before many-audiences, as,l shall-now,
inquire before this, what particular form
of taxation it is that is compkiined of
as oppressive upon the industrious and
laboring - classes of this country. Hap
pily : for -the more speedy termination
of a discussion of this kind; questions
of taxation are essentially matters of
fact. We may rest oil the old adage
that " figures will not lie . ," and there
fore ,we are ant required to resort to
presumptions and spec:illations, but are
enabled to turn at once 'to the law and
the testimony.
Now, the revenue to be raised this
year from this entire country by the
National Government would amount to
three hundred. and thirty millions of
dollars: This is a very large, BUDS, 1
admit ; but it must be remembered that
the-countny which-is called tipOn to pay
this sum is a very large country, and
one whiCh poseesseS immense and al
most incalculable resources. It would
be a burden upon the pity of Philadel
phia for lien to undertake the payment
of this three hundred and thirty
; it would be oppressive upon this
great. Keystone Commonwealth to pay
that amount ; it would be oppressive,
to compel, its paynient by any five or
by any ten_ States of this Union ; but
when yon take our whole vast domain
with its well-nigh forty States and ten
Territories and its forty millions of
people, with a development of wealth
bOore unknown and altogether unpar
alleled io all history, 'the amount ac
tually, demonstratively, and inevitably
becomes (Oho ineonSidenable as /1 ..
den or an oppression. •. • •
But I db not purpose to rest . upon. a
mere general statement of charac
ter. .I. • propose, with yottr !leave, to
address' to you as an intelligent au
.dionce a few questions whieb, iE not
answered on the spot, will, at least, 1
hope, lead to such ,reflections.as may
call; forth a' significant answer . at -your
polls on the 13th of October. -
,Of the
330 Millions of revenue which I have'
,spoken ofas'the Federal receipts of the
cuirent year;loo millions will be raised
from the tariff on foreign imports, and
170 millions from the receipts from,iin.
ternal revenue.. Of the - tariff receipts,
.nearly ninety millions will be'clerived
fram the duties on, articles of luxury,-
mummy of which ariklea are Pernicious
'and injurious in their general use, such
as Prenchlrandies, champagne wines,
and Wines .of , other kinds. 'Besides
these may' be enumerated silks,:
vets, eostly;laces,. rich - India shaWls,
and the other inntimerable .gewgaws
and luxitried in which the rich-and the.

whether you are willing that your vast
industrial establishments which hate'
grown up in your midet, and have given
.wealth and prosperity to your noble
State 'and promoted the glory and re
nown of our nation, shall now be placed
under the ruinous, and;Aolh'emeffttal_
competition of the pauper labor of4lu
lege ; for such will be the inevitable
result of striking down that system of
protective, duties ,in our tariff to 'which'
our . industrial establishments are in
debted -fot their growth and•tileir ina
turity and
.whicli, by its continuance',
k l
rvis hi give them' an assured future . of'
Ail neater prosperity than-they--have
ever et realized. .
I will\not so, far
,incult the intelli
gence of he audience that I have the
honor to address as 'to .put these, inter-
rogatories to theta in any other form
than as protests; as it is the undoubted
Republican faith, not in Pennsylvania
alone, but in Maine, and throughout
the country, that the liiiiiirof-Aliceifcan
mechanics shall be fostered, stimulated,
and rewarded by a systeM of protective'
duties such as are now in force under,
Republican legislation. And, there
fore, without stopping to justify our po
sition on this point, I make the charge
agaiost thl! - Democratic party that, by
their'own resolutions, in their National
Convention, they have . comMitted them-
Selves to a policy which-will strike
down and forever destroy, this system
of-duties under which your own and
other States-have heen enabled to build
up those marvels of prosperity and me
chanical industry which now distin
guish them. I assume, therefore;lhat,
so far as concern's the tariff . and the
$160,000,000 of revenue derived there
from, I need not stop here and now to
argue the matter before a Pennsylva
nia audience. 1
Surely, if there be oppression from
taxation, it (lees not come through. a
4ariff. And if the tariff is to chang
ed from a protective to a revenue tariff,'
surely it is, to be done solely by the
Democratic party, without the. concur
rence and against the protest and Unit
ed opposition of the Republican party.
[Great applause.] - If, then, the tariff
g'c nor . bii"rdensome 9 - 15 7 tlie — laborer,
suppose it follows -that tips supposed
terrible oppression upon the laboring
classes is caused by the system of tax
ation that is . assessed through. the me
ilium of our internal revenue offices.
Perhaps it is , herethat we to find
that industry is ground.down, and that
while the laboring man has cause' t,
groan the-rich go about clad in purple'
and , 'fitie linen—a whole brotherhood
of " bloated hondholders," living on
what has been filched from the labor-
ing classes. I repeat this as an epito
me of the Pendletonian-Biglerian style
of stating the question. For myself,
prefer 'to deal less in generalities and
to come more specifically to the essen
tial facts of the case.
Nowimy friends, I hold in my hand
a small 3nemot•andum-book, and on one
of its small pages; within the space of
two square inches, I have set forth the
various sources from which the entire
amount of internal revenue is derived.
That amount, as I have stated, is
. $170,000,000. As I now recapitulate
the sources from which that amount
comes, I should be glad to inquire of
any one in this audience, whether Re
publican or Democrat, which one it is
of the different classes of the tax that
oppresses him. The first source.which
I shall name is the urhisi•y tax—the
generic phrase which denotes the en-
tire amount derived from the articles of
whisky, rum, brandy, wines, ale, bear,
and all forms of malt liqu6r; giving us
for the current year t hedarge aggregate
of 556,000,000. Is there any one in
this audience particularly oppressed by
the whisky tax-? A gentleman. from
Illinois 'told me the other day that that
was the particular tax about which the
Democrats down in Egypt most loudly
complained ; because in that locality
the members of the parry oo en aver
age assiSted in paying it about seven or
eight times each per day. But I take
it than in the sober and discreet city
of Brotherly Love you can find no man
or any party willing to assert or con
fess that he considers . the whisky tax
an oppression upon anYThrteilnder the
Biin. Then we lmve disposedol fifty-six
millions: Next comes the tobacco. tax.
I frankly admit that to those ..of-you
who smoke and to those of you
who 'dim a few 'cents more on the
pound of tobacce, and p few cents more
on the hundred fin* segars, form some
pint of the expense which a Democral,-
ic rebellion _entailed upon the country.
But if any gentleman Will tell me how
twenty millions of revenue can-be more
equitably divided - than. by the imesi
don of a tax upon this hurtful luxury
of tobacco, I will esteem a public
henetietor and tender him lny personal
acknowledgments. • No candid, fitir
minded man certainly Will be bold
enough to assert that the tobacco tax
hinders or thwarts the development of
any enterprise' in our entire country.
Well, next we, come to the income
tax. I; suppose 'tat it mast be in this.
that tile-Democracy firid the evidence
of such heart:rending oppression upon
the poor and the laboring classes. But
you will please observe that no man Is
called upon to - pay an income tax until
he has first paid his tent, his repairs,
the expenses' of hie buldness, and all
his taxes, Federal," State, and local;
and then eon shoW a net annual gain
and profit• of more than $1,P1)0. over
and 'abinie all those (nave:

tliglie pays nothing Not on.thiiti
but be must have a great deal before
being called. upon to.,pay anything at
all. • _
), _
Well, next we come to the_ tax of
two-tenths .of one; per cent: on the
sales of manufacturers above $5,000 a
year. A very enormous tax, two-taiths
ofoiic per cent. 'lt takes a sharp prac
tice'in vulgar fractions to find out just
.h,Owl , much that is. Reduced rte its
lowest figures, we hive one five-hum
dredtha ; and thus this oppressbe Gov
ernment goes to; the large .manufactur
ers, whose sales exceed $5,00,0 a year,
and asks them to pay, the one . five
hundredth part of what they derived.
from' those &ilea in excess of that
amount. • To the small manufacturer,
- to- -the-- enterprising_ beginner,....to_the_
young man just beginning with his
own hands and'-his little hired help to
manufacture, the Government saYs
"Go free;" but'from those who have_
acquired largo prolperity, and yzhose
sales go up to: -tees and hundFeds 'of
thousands and to millions, the Govern.:
ment asks this small consideration of
two-tenths of one per cent. Upon
whom is this oppressive ? The manu
facturer pays it, freely, without pro-•
test or grumbling. The.people at large
may have assisted in - paying it in. the
enchanced prices of the articles as they
purchased them for consumption. How
.enormously .this cost was enchanced
by the tax \is easilylapparent. If you
buy five dollars' worth of cloth
.it ac
tually' adds to its cost, if the tai - be
counted in, one whole. cent ! And in
the manufacture of two dozen shirts
the tax might possibly enhance the
price of the whole lot a half dime.
And, yet from a tax thus -unseen and
unfelt the Government will this year
derive 'several millions of- dollars..
We next come to a sthirce of taxa
tion known as the stamp law,- this
being so much for a- stamp on a bank
check, so much on a article of:A:gree
n-lent, note of hand, deeds of real estate,
and largely on patent medicines 'and
nostrums of all kinds, whether vicious
'or beneficial. Now, while the stamp
tax may occasionally be a source of.
inconvenience„l take it that no man
will pretead that it is ever a source of
oppressiotf—certaialy net an -oppress—
ion to the poor' and to the laboring
classes. The_rich;_faylemetinies--have -
-
cause to 'Complariciff it, as in the case
of the heirs- of Mr. Stevens, of Hobe
ken.— recentlY . deceased 'millionaire of
New Jersey, whose will, distributing
some forty or fifty millions of dollars
was admitted to probate on the pay
ment: ..of five -•.tlionsaad - dollars of
stamps; but. I have never iteard that
theipaor, and the laboring classes were
particularly affected. In short, to speak
of the.ntamp-tax.- as an oppression is,
simply absurd. And yet, from this
source we'derive the large sum of
seventeen millions annually for the
Naiad TriKasiiry. - ,Wethen COnfo,te
a source of taxation embracing several
miscellaneous heads; the tax on the
receipts of railroad and other trans
portation companies; the special tax on
various trades,' professions, and call-.
ings; the tax on gold watches, and
upon gold_ and silver plate, where a
family has ,mortrtlfanforty. ounces;
the tax on billiard . tables, pleasure
yachts, on theatres, and on other places
.of . amusement. These various ..taxes,
somewhat heterogenous, and • mit re
lated, the one to the other 'give to
your treasury the aggregate of sixteen
millions of dollars annually, and I
certainly, am not able to identify a
single one of them which a poor man
or a laboring man would desire to
repeal or have removed. -For my:
self, I think the railroads, and the
gold plate, and the pleasure yatcb,
and the theatres, and the operas, and
those who indulge. in these amuse,
ments- and luxuries, can well 'afford to
pay a tax; and 1 am at a loss tG
know how- sixteen millions of dollars
could be raised in a more equitable
manner, and with so little detriment
to the business of the country.
And, now, 1 have but one other
source of Feder* taxation 'to name,
and that is the tax on national banks.
I am not here this evening either to
assail or defend the national banks,
nor even to discuss the hank ques
tion; it is the subject ,f taxation of
which I am: speaking; and I allude
to the national banks only to show
you that they pay into your Feder
al Treasury ten million dollars annu
ally as taxation, and that they ptiy
about as much more of local takes
in the various communities in which
they do business. , Certainly this ten
milliorni that we derive from national
banks ii not' an oppression , to . the
poor man. Holders -of bank. stock
are not generally regarded as poor
Men, and,- ad a legislator, . I. am
quite at a loss to know how • ten
millions of dollars could be \ S derived
..
from any other source eo e Bib, as
from this of the banks.
I have thus hastily Mid iaimewhat,
crudely, enumerated all the:. sources
from which our internal revenue is'
derived.-- s -If-you—will • take pains- to,
add up the various sums . I have
named' you ivill...Rud..that.They• ,give
you the aggregate of one hundred
and seventy millions of money. The
'system of taxation under which this
is raised is not accidental or,
it is the product' of laborious - research
and investigation on the parrof a Repub
lican Congress--a Congress anxious to
so adjust the scale of taxation that this
industrial interest 'of the country
.should not be affected, 'while . the .
..burdert'fell only upon articles of Int
ury and accumulated capital'. On this
system • of ,taxation . the
not
party stands. They do not apologize
for lt, they' justify 'it;'. and :they
assert that tel perform effieiently.the'
work of accumulating, the . amount ..of
Atoedy now -yaised, . and-- W.tender. its
payment assured, no'otlier system could
possibly be devised by which the bur-,

To the latter clause of this resolu
tion I abalbrefer direetly; tt is to the
former portion that I now invite your
attention. The proposition is that
every species of property eliejl be tax
ed according to its real value. Now;
under such a policy; I beg to atilt this
audience which One of you could es
cape from the oppression of direct
taxation 2., How many of you to-day'
ever see the face of, a Federal tax-'
gatheiet ? But under the operation of
the proposition ( laid down 'by the
Democratic pl tform„ pray tall me
which of yo ould not see his face,
and that co tinually ? Why, this 'runs
finally
into the
,extreme of absurdity; Let
me illustrate. In your city of Philiii
dolphia to-day you can distil a
_gallon
of whisky to about the same cost at
which you can buy a gtllon of milk;
The Republicans tax the 'gallon of i
whisky- fifty cents; the Democratic
platform would tax the gallon of milk
jftst the same amount; "every species"
of property according to its real value"
is their motto. A barrel 'of beer• is
worth; in your price list, I presume,
some fifteen .dollars; 1 the Republican
legislature tax• it two dollars. A
barrel of flour throughout the country
Averages about fifteen dollars; the
Democratic platform would tax it two
dollars also. They would tax bread
the same as beery milk the same as,
whiskey; luxuries the same as necessi:
ties,;-churches the same
,as-theatres;
making no distinction between a lager
beer concert room . and a vestry for
prayer meatingB. It may seem absurd
thus to carry out their principle in its
legitimate application;" but take it in
its less offensive and milder form, and
where would it'stOp I , . - -
To-day , the Republican legislature
does not tax your clothing, your hate,
your boots, the tools of the mechanic, the
machinery of Abe - factory, the farnv
the garden, 'the dwelling, the house
hold property; not one of these is
taxed lay- the Republican legislation.
They prefer rather to gather the Gov
ernment 'fands through—the channels I
have -indicated; but the Democratic
proposition is to make your system of
taxation a dead level; to put a sewing
machine under the same law that taxes_
the billiard table,_and to pat the ma
chinery—whielf-lupp-ats-thc familieS of
a hundred artisans under the same
taxation that the pleasure yatche of
the New4ork sporting clubs are- to
day ask to pay. do not really-think
that-the-democracy knew-just-whatan
abeard` thing they were doing; when
they adopted the first clause of this,
resolution. They were .so anxious to
get a lick at the Government bonds and
securities, which are included in the,
second claim, that they suite lost sight,
of the ridiculous position to which
they were' committing themselves in
the first clause.
. .
And that brings 'me to say a word
about the taxation . of Governmant
bonds. I would here remark that va
rious questions,bave sprung up in -re
gard to our national debt which have
created embarrassment in the minds'Of
the people, and in the action of Con
gress, _There ie the question of
whether taxation should be Federal or
local, and, if Federal, whether it
should be through the internal reve
nue system, _or by so much being taken
off the coupon. And then there is the
question whether the bonds are paya
ble in gold or in greenbacks, which, in
my judgment, is not a practical ques
tion, no one whose determination. is
any more nece6sary to our progress as
as a nation than that 'of the immedi
ate settlement of all the questions re
lating to the exact location of the
North pole.
But these questions hav,ing- been
raised,- the Republican Congress at its
last *session labored diligently and
earnestly to affect their adjustment;
and to that end they—passed what is
known as the funding bill. That bill
proposed to exchange. all outstanding
bonds for long bonds running forty
years at 4i per cent. interest; the bonds
to he distinctly payable in gold at the
date of maturity, forty years hence,-
and the interest saved by the 1/ per
cent. (amounting to thirty-six.' millions
annually) to be devoted to -the reduc
tion and redemption of the principal
Of the debt. •
Now, it will be observed that by
this system we should get very much
more into the Federal. treasury that
could possibly be derived from any
system of taxation which the wildest
Democratic proposition has yet broach
ed, and the bondholder would find his
compensation- in the fact, that- the
amount thus saved was to be held in
the light- of a sinking ,fund fir the
ultimate payment of his bond.
measure was not undertaken by , Con ,
gress without prolonged consultation
with those who were most interested
in our necurities on both sides of tho'
water; and it was generally held that
alunding•bill of this kind would bo
accepted by the bondholders as an
equitable treatment of the public,
-creditor_ ,
• Now,
,When an opportnnity .was pre.
heated for, thus reducing , the public.
burdens, and providing - for the .defiaite
payment of the debt, how did the De
mocracy behave? Why, every mem
bar of the party,. in both Senate- and
House; foaght the bill at every -point,
and did so malignantly and maliciously,
and whey,-finally, the bill was carried
over their opposition, and went to the
President, for, his' signature on the day
before Clongress adjourned, the' Demo
crAtic members conspired with Presi
dent Johnson to. withhold hiN Approval,
of the Measure, and killed,it by. what •

Johnson sent it back with bie veto,
-Congress would have promptly Partied

So much for the. sincerity of the

"We want no funding hills nor any

stand how the national debt would be

Well, you have had an opportunity to
observe this principle of inflation, as it
was tried the so-called Southern
Confederacy: During the first year of
the - war a - Paper dollar ittßidlcmcind was
as good as a paper dollar in •Waahing
ton; both were worth a hundred cents.
The second year of the war the differ
ence was -not very - great, - The third
year the Confederate note began to
droop, and the fourth year its value en
tirely.collapsed. _ It was my.fortuneto
go into Richmond three days afteFit-S
-' surrender; and there I found free ne
groes and Confederate money in most
-plentiful abundance. The one lined
all the sidewalks, and the other was
kicked up - and down the middle of the
street. The - melancholy experience_of ~
-- that community was well 'epitomized in
the anecdote of the' man who declared
that in'the first year of the war he car
ried lii marketing in his basket and
his money in his vest pocket, but in
-the last-year of-the„war he. carried his
money
-in his - basket, while his vest
pocket airintained his purehases:-
, Giye us 2,100 - millions of irredetan-•
. able paper money bearing- no interest,
in absolute and absurd excess-oft the
demands of a circulating medium, and.
you repeat in Philadelphia the terrible
starvation experiences in Richmond.
And, my friends, you dod't even pun
ish-the bondholder. - if tharbe"Yalefeli- -
ject. You pay him Off,.and as rapidly
as he is paid, before the great crash
comes, ho invests in the property- of
the country, while the men who sell
merchandise, and who labor daily, the
laboring classes are- compelled to take
and hold his depreciated paper. Out
of such a condition of affairs there are.
but two roads of exit: one is absolute
repudiation, with all its terrible expe
riences and lasting obloquy; and the
other is a process for funding the ex
cess of currency back into a similar se
curity for which you madly exchan
ged it in your delusive theory that a
debt could be paid by changing the
form of the note. Did you accept the
first road and. repudiate, no imagina
tion „could depict the ruinous conse
quences; the youngest person within
the sound of my voice would not live
to see the national prosperity of the
country fully restored. while the latest
generation would bear the evil oblo
quy which would forever attach to the
name of an American. If you took
the second road add - funded the -debt,
you would simply crawl back into the
same hole from which you ao inglori
ously escaped, a sadder and wiser but"
infinitely poorer people, than yon,..wcmld
have been but for this unfartunateox
periment.
What was the action of the Demo
crate at- the•time when the issue of
greenbacks was an. essential step in
saving tho life of the nation? • The
War bad progressed to a point at
which our expenditures were three
millions dollars per day. To, pay this
expense in gold Was impossible. We
had-reached just that paint - Where we
confrented tea exigency that required
both statesmanship And courage; motl
ey must be had, and gold coin could
-not be raised Then what .• did the'
Government do? - :What would any

cans, who were atltniniatel'ing the Gov

,thought 'otherwise. They .
'said,. ? • ROre the whole property of this

and the Cxovernmeet not being able to

And we will impart to that note, .by

.Mr. Blaine then commented on the
fact that sill the national, .state, and
local platforms of the Democracy had
'Made 'a great • issue in regard to the
Freedmen's Bureau; their mildest form
of stating -their opposition being the
assertion that the Republican_Congress .
was boarding the negroeq flosy.n.Bouth , .
at first-class hotels, while the • white
_folks had to work 'for their living. The
faCts were that at the close of the war,
with the labor system of four millions
of black . people entirely disrupted,
some measure of reorganization was
absolutely essential, °not .Only essen
tial for the good of the colored race
but for the interests of the.nation and.'
especially for the furtherance' of the ,
cotton culture. 'Hence the Freedmen's
Bureau was organized, and from the
date of its organization - to The first
of the current month its whcile ex
penditure had been 57,936,283,17. At
the sand; session at which the bureau
was oraganiZed a •tax of five .cents a
pounirwas levied on cotton, which was -
a direct tax on the labor of the ne
gro. During the three and a half
years- that the bureau had been.'ifi
operatiori thtreotton tax had yielded
$66,162,864.82; Some Democrat might
say that the cotton tax would - have
been derived anyhow, and that that
did not excuse the expenditnre for.the
bureau; bet - the fact was quite 'other
wise, because; unless the- negro 'labor
-had been reorganized and placed mr,a
proper basis and well protested and
its wages guaranteed, the cotton would
have been cultivated to a very small -
extent. Therefore when these gentle
men are making their charges of 'ex
t ravngauce against the Freedmen's
Bu
rean let them remember that that bureau
is to be credited with the revival of the
cotton culture and-with the payment in
to the Federal Treitsury of than .
nine dollars in tax where it took out
-ono=for—exiienses.--It—is interesting--
also to know that during the time that
the negro labor paid sixty-six millions
into' the Treasury, all other taxes in
the Sontli - O:f every ,name and nature
amounted to only twenty-six millionS.
-But," says seine one, "your cotton
taxis repealed, and the negro bureau
must, now be supported by direct taxa-
tion." But it happens that the saran
session of Congress that repealed the _
cotton tax abolished tifo bureau. No
cotton tax is collected after 1866, and
no Freedmen's Bureau exists after IS6B.
On the 31st of December its existence .
ceases and determines: That in brief,
is _ ,
the whole hiktory of the Freedmen's •
Bureau, which.has been magnified-by • -
the Democratic party into a - great
tional issue.
In conclusion, the speaker referred
at some length to-the desperate manner
in which the Democracy fought their
battle in /.Maine. They had been
abundantly supplied with -money, and
they struggled with the energy of de—
spair. Their energy wa's Wasted, and
their despair was realized, for the Re
publicans hid crushed them by a ma
jority greater than had ever been given
when both parties laid out their full ."
strength. The reaction so confidently
anticipated by the Democracy was a
reaction of intensified majorities on be- •
hailer thii Republicans. He doubted
not the same Would be the case in
Pennsylvania, and he implordd his
hearers not to allow the rebel flag to be
hoisted over lndependenee

claini he has ever• had upon their re
gard has grown' out of his disloyally'

he is a - candidate most distasteful to
the Western Democratic leaders and

is busy cyphering out the- Vermont and
