REPUBLICANISM REBUKED. We oommend the Legislature'for refusing to a 'opt Governor Hovey’s lecommendfttion to increase the State levy from 12 cents to 25 cents on the SIOO, and' for meeting the necessary expenses of the State’s benevolent institutions by a levy of 0 cents on the SIOO. Wo denonnoe the infamous conspiracy of the Republican county couimiseioners, township trustees and other officials of Indiana, who, for the purpose of oreating unfair prejudice against tne new tax law, have wantonly and needlessly increased the local taxes, in the forty-six counties controlled by them, more than one million twohundred and fifty thousand dollars—a sum greater than the total increase of the state taxes in the entire state. We call on the taxpayers of those counties to rebuke at the polls these local officials, who have put this needless and oppressive burden upon tbe people —Extract from Democratic State Platform. THE ISSUE. We denounce the Republican polioy of protection as a fraud, taxing the labor -f tbe great majority of the American people for the benefit of tbe few. We declare it t'jbe a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the F.DEKAD GOVERNMENT HAS NO CONSTI. TUTJoN*L POWER TO IMPOSE AND OOIiliF.OT TARIFF DUTIES EXCEPT FOR THB PURPOSE OF REVENUE ONT/T, and W 6 demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and economically administered. ”- From National Democratic Platform. “To lav|with one hand the power of tho government on the property of the citizen, and with the other bestow it upon favored individuals to build up private fortunes, is none tbe less robbery because it is done under the form of law and is called taxation. Tnis is not legislation. It is a decree under legislative forms.Nor is it taxation. Beyond oavil, there can be no lawful taxation which is not laid for public purposes .—Opinion of Justice Miller, (Re-mblican) of the United States Supreme court. What is the meaning of protection? It means an additional six pence for each loaf; that is the Irish of it. If he had not the protection, the loaf would sell for a shilling, but if he has protection it will sell for one and six pence. Protection is the English for six pence; and what is more, it is the Exglish for an extorted six pence.. The real meaning of protection, therefore, is robbery—jobbery of the poor by the rich.—Daniel O'Connell in His Fight Against the High Tariff Corn Laws, Sept. 28, 1843.
