‘BotMnnee; Tyrants is Obedience to God*’ « fJ. B, STOLL, EDITOR. wm)mai AY, JULY 7, 1869, ' DISGUSTED, ' There is no longer a doubt that a large majority of iz:e Radical party is thorough.ly disgustéd with/Gen. Grant. When the C'hicage 2% wme tunt directed fits batteries upon %lirp.m Ulysses, but few volunteered to defcad the great imbecile in the White [[{ouse—none undertook the herculean task except these who are govgried in their political actions by the amount of patronage bestowed wupon them. The radical papers bave become tully convinced that he is an entire, failure—that he is fearfully destitute of capacity, honesty ‘aid integrity. Radical politicians, when twitted about the offi-. cial conduct of the “great hero,” take no special pains to conceal their utter disgust. l&?uta fow “weeks ago the South Bend Register; “established by the Hon. Schuyler Colfax,” contained a brief editorial, doubtless inspired by the great Smiler, in 'which deep regret was expressed that Mr. Grant had not realized his incjomp#ten’cy for civil office at an earlier period, and another jßadical sheet, the LaGrapge Standard, bluntly stated that no little mortification might have been spared the Republican. party had Colfax been placed in the position so poorly filled by the Galena tanner. But|we can subserve our purpose better by laying before our readers a few extracts from Radical papers, to substantiate the correctness of the above remarks, We will cite, for instance, the Galesburg Register, o leading Radical organ, whichcomes down on Grant in the following style:| .. 00 |

“The people are cheated. They -are about-to léave Grant -without a party as they did Johnson. “If he means to make Lis administration respectable and popular he must alter his course. ‘He must turn over & new leaf and smash the rings of his own creation. The people see that his familyfand chums who get into office are likely Jo make sinecures of their placcs and défy removal. In fact, the whole matter of appointments is muddled, and 7 the pcoplvj begin to feel that while Grant may know the points of a fine horse, or the quality of a cigar, that he'don’t know anything about men‘outside of tlhe army regulations, and has no idea of statesmanship.” ¥ , : : . 'This is rather rough on Ulyss, but the Canton ]#egz'ste‘r, another loil organ, is still more hostile. It grinds the following melancholy strain:. o “There never was & President whose : appointments gave such general dissatis--faction to [the party that elected him, as those of Gieneral Grant. It is bad taste, i_angl positively injurious to the public interests, that so large a batch of the hithcrfo ébscure relatives of the President should be foisted upon the public for important and lucrative positions. The appointment of fifteen or twenty citizens, his old ngﬁ%hbors in the city of Galena, to the best offices within his gift, looks as though he regarded the Presidential office ag a specics of property peculiarly his, _ own, which,he has a right to use, not only for the profit of his relations, but for thebenefit of liis personal friends.” We thust confess that we rather appreciate this squirming on part of our radical friends, They deserve punishment for their guile and guilt. They will get it at every turn and corner, In the language of another we Bay, having elected Grant, they must grin and bear him. His ~ clection was a fraud, his want of policy a deception, his nepotism an outrage, and his whole administration will be signal- ~ ized by incapacity and shame. .

|A Woman as “Rea.der}’ Boston with her characteristic Yan kee shirowdness, selected a gushing young lady to read the Declaration of - Independence at their “glorious” celebra- . tion of the “fifth” of July. The strong minded women and feminine men all over the country have gone into ecstasies over the event ; claiming that this is an evidence that the popular sentiment of the country are fast approving the efferts being made to disenthrall poor “down trodden women,” and raise her to a level with the lords of ‘creation. For the life of us we cannot see it in that light; but rather look upon it as a very clever and. attractive device for the purpose of bringing hundreds of young men upon the ground, who otherwise perhaps would have been lounging around saloons imbibing champaign to the great disgust-of puritanical ideas of morality. It is a _new feature, and although originating in Boston, we hope that the hint will be “acted upon by the “unlettered” inhabitants of the Mississippi valley, on like ocJxsions, There are very few communities, . in which some gushing, blushing, willowy damsel, with a clear penetrating soprano voice cannot be found ready and willing to sacrifice her feminine instincts for tre purpose of ' beihg gazed upon ~ and admired by’ the young gentlemen ' who would be attracted thither by the | announcement that the reading of the immortal instrument of American indeI pendence would be confided to an equal of the tyrant man. fo Thie Specific Approprintion Bill. ~ Yesterday afternoon the Supreme Court ‘rendered its decision in the case of Brovin versus Evans, Auditor of State, in _which they sustain the degality of the | Sped]‘,,‘ﬁc Appropriation Bill, wpon the - well-known ground that the courts will ~ not go behind the face of the record to { determine such a question.

ek R plat s T conflicting rumors from Washington in regard to further changes in Grant’s Cabinet. The Pennsylvania Republican pol. iticians are indignant that Massschur,ctts has two members and the old Keystone not one. As soon as Mr. Bori¢; retired, an imperative' demand was Tuade by the latter State to have one of ‘¢heir rumber placed at the head of one of the departments, Again there is intense . dissatisfuction at the federal appointments in that State, they admitting that some of them are gbt:r:‘:nongh men, apd-sound enough Republicans, but they claim that they have no sirength nor influence, consequently ther?' is no hope of carrying the fall elections., It issaid. that Mr. Hoar is willing to make the great personal sacrifice of reﬁgn_}ng his position as Attorney General, if the interests of the great party of “moral ideas” require it. Should he doso, we haye ro doubt that all Republicans not blinded by partisan malevolen¢e and fanaticism, will join the Democracy in hailing the event as one of the most satisfactory occurrences since the summary ejectment by President Johnson of the tyrant Stanton. Mr. Hoar has made himself peculiarly obnoxious to all candid, thinking men in his decisions. In two opinions recently given, he showed himself a blinded and , obedient slave to party, and in the other made himselfan egregious donkey. The reconstruction measures he pronounced constitutional ; and that military courts may try men charged with crime, in time of peace, and who do not belong to the land or naval forces of the United States; thus giving common-sensé a severe buffet, and set at defiance the recent unanswerable arguments contained in the decision of the Supreme Court, in a.case invelving the constitutionality of the reconstruction infamy. : It is plain to be scen that he has been influenced by improper motives by declaring an outrageous infamy in one case and an absurdity -in the other.— Itis-plain that his retention in the Cabinet will not subserve the true interests of the country. ' ic We sincerely hope that the resignation of Mr. Hoar will be handed in and accepted at an early day, and thus relieve the country of a painful suspense.— Again, all good men will join in the fervent wish that the President will appoint as his successor an able lawyer: and statesman, without regard to Pennsylvania or any other locality. Bhould the other rumored Cabinet changes : prove true, the President may yet gain the confidence and estecem of his countrymen, by appointing men of large conservative views, and eminent practical experience in statesmanship, to take charge of the heads of the departments. The character of the men who have been controlling these places have universally been characterized by the Republican journals of the country as incompetents and rogues. In conclusion, we again express the fervent hope that the machinery of the Government will be confided ta honest, capable hands, and that Mr. Grant may ‘retire from his Presidential labors with the confidence, good will and esteem of all parties—bat, judging from the past, this is' more than the people have a right to expect from a President whase every act has been that of an incurable bungler. The course of the official bunglers at’ Washington in regard to-Cuban affairs receives as its merits the strongest condemnation of all fair minded men. Under the law the Government had but one duty to perforni, and that was to prevent the organization of armed bodies having for their object the invasion of the territory of a nation with which we are at peace. For weeks it has been known, says the New Albany Ledger, that armed men have been gathering in our seaports, and that some of them have departed for Cuba, taking with them large quantities of arms and amunition. But the officials raised no arm to prevent this. - The President was urged to issue a neutrality proclamation, warning all persons against embarking in this unlawful enterprise,— But this General Grant refused or neglected to do. /What was the inference? There could be but one, and that was the ‘administration did not intend to enforce ‘the law against the Cuban adventurers ; ‘that it was willing the Cuban Junta ‘should enlist and send forward as many l men and as much material of war as they could collect. St

All at once, however, a change of policy is determined upon. Withouta word of warning, without issuing a neutrality proclamation, the leaders of the Cuban party in New York and the officers of a filibustering expedition are arrested and compelled to give bail to answer for 8 violation of the laws. There was nothing different in this last expedition from the half dozen or more that had precededit, and which had been permitted to depart anmolested. Then why the difference in the treatment bestowed upon them? It is to be presumed that even if the President himself did not know what, was -the law, his Secretary of State and Attorney General could .not plead ignorance. If it was determined to permit the law to be violated with impunity, the last batch of filibusters should have been as ‘free to go as the first or second or third. There is no reason why our piscatorial State Department should make’ fish of one set of Cuban adventurers and flesh of another, There was but one honest, straightforward course to pursue from the start, and that was to administer the law as it was written upon the statute books. Had tbis been done, the shameless: scenes witnessed in the streets of New York the other night, by which the au. thority of the Government was defied, and its officers made prisoners by a mob of outlaws, would never have occurred.

Weagree with the Indianian that “it almost seems strange” to hear of Irish Republieans. Still more strange, howev: er, appears the phenomenon of radical journals, these times, containing articles full'of smooth palaver and dulcet blarney; looking to the conversion of Irishmen to the heresies of their party. To read thein one would' suppose that the pérsonsby: whom they are indited had never heard of a Know Nothing lodge, nor of the an-ti-Catholic riots in many cities of the United States, nor of the battle cry of the. opponents of the demoeracy in 1854-5-6-7, “Place none but Americans on Guard !” 8o polite aud amiable and affectionate are these innocents in their demeanor toward {lrishmen, to use the languasge of a con“temporary, that persons ignorant of their ‘past history might easily be led to imagine that they have just dropped from some celestial abode where hatred bf

Catholics and persecution of forem are entirely unknown. But they mi the character of the people whose love of principle they hope to debauch. Give us an Irishman’s wit to detect the trick disguised under the speciousness of cunning phrase and honeyed words. These radicals may “steal the livery of the court of heaven, to serve the devil in,” but Irishmen know what is under the mask. Gnashing their teeth in disappointed rage, the foul demagogues exclaim, “We cannot fathom the folly of their blindness!” Oh! no, you cannot sound the depths of the aversions which the Irishman feels for your party of church burners! You cannot realize how deeply you wronged him when you banded yourselves together, by horrible conspiracy, to persecute him for his religious belief, and to ostracize him for the rights of citizenship! Youjcannot picture to your minds' eye the profound contempt he feels for men who swore upon the holy Evangely of Almighty God that they would vote only for such candidates as favored the exclusion of all foreigners from citizenship until they should have resided 21 years in the United States, and who now demand that the ignorant and degraded negroes of the South shall not only be made voters, but be permitted to hold office! You cannot conc¢eive how faith. ful is .the Irish heart to the democracy who fought the good fight against Know Nothing fanaticism, which = protected Catholic and Protestant alike in the enjoyment of religious freedom, which squelched the political proscription of foreigners by radical zealots, and which to-day is the only champion and defender of civil and religious liberty in America. No, indeed! - You radical politicians can see nothing in faithful allegiance to a political organization, except a desire to be in at the death when the victors divide the spoils. The whining, snifiling, cruclt New England Puritan, the subtle spiritualist, the cold-blooded, soulless atheist, the fanati. cal and revolutionary agrarian, the destructive, insane abolitionist, all are constituents of the radical party. Nay, they are its bone and muscle, its heart and brain. How long would these religious,; and political desperadoes = desist from attacking‘the Catholic religion and Irish citizenship 1f the Democratic party did not ‘stand between them and these objects of their hate? Were the dreaded ~democratic standard moved out of their path, like tigers that have tasted blood, ‘like demons’ hunting down a doomed ‘soul, would these devils of revolution leap forth to strike down the religion they hate and the people that worship at other shrines than their own. The tempter may present his apple in its most beautiful shape, he may woo sweet Hibernia in the tenderest of words, but the true and faithful Irishman will never forget the wrongs he has suffered at the hands of radical Know-Nothingism, his delivery from political proscription by a triumphant democracy, nor the peril which overkangs the future. 7 —————— G —eeeee An Imbeecile Administration. , The New York Herald, in the course of an article on the Administration and its lack of capacity to meet the issues of the times, and its general floundering, knowing not what to do, says: “The ‘country is perplexed and disappointed.” | “The impression is gaining ground that | we have nothing to expect from Grant's Administration.” “Dry-rot has siezed up-on-the Cabinet, and the Republican party is falling to pieces.” “Like an abandoned hulk, the Government appears to be drifting along at the mercy of the wind and wave.” Strange questions are beginning to be asked, such as these, concerning Gen. Grant: “Is he a man of genius or a man of luck? Hae he any of the qualities of & statesman?®” “Is he afraid o move on the right hand or the left, or to push forward for fear of making a mistake?” “Can it be that * * General Grant: has resolved to do nothing without express authority from Congress? Or is it possible that he does nothing because he knows not what to do? Are his designs so broad, deep and comprehensive that, we cannot grasp them? Or has he any clear perceptions of the duties, ad. vantages, opportunities, and responsibili-ties-of his position?” “One would*suppose * * that he intends to lesve all responsibilities with Congress, and| does ‘not care & snap of kis finger for his p:licy, ‘his party, or_for Cuba, the Alabams ‘claims, Mexico, or the succession, ot any- | thing else.” Andsoon. 5 _ This is not a complimentary wiy of speaking of & President that the Heral did all it could to elect. From what it says, here and elsewhere, and from what other Radical journals say, foreign nations will hardly form an exalted opi of our Chief Magistrate, or rank him as first_men of his time, while our own ﬁW! 88, "z

- HoxrsviLiz, Ala, June 28th, 1869. ~ J. B. SroLr—Dear friend:—Let me give you & rough sketch of what isto be ‘seen behind the curtains, (or what you don’t ‘see in the papers) andif it contains little of interest, its brevity may be a redeeming wirtue. The weather is confounded bot, the thermometer standing 100 at noon,

86 st sundown, but pleasant mights; good stand, and clean, with s few weeks of this southern sun, a good crop may be ‘been favorsble, and & large ares has been ‘planted. Theve will be plenty of green ‘corn here by the 4th of July. Wheat has been harvested, and is a good crop, but not enough sown to supply the demand of this country. The people of the South can grow cotton and corn; but of the: different branches of ° agriculture which the North and@ West are compelled to adopt in order to make a good living, the planter knows nothing, except in theory. All the labor devolves upon the negro and lower class of whites; the majority of the young men must have & profession, must have a 8 store, or grocery—anything to get a living without work on the farm, or in the shop. Some man- ‘ age to get a living by doing nothing, so ] faras the outer world can see. This state of things gives a wide opening for working men—men of pluck. There are many locations offered where a work-

ing.man can make a fortune in a few years. Manufactures are much reeded.— Almost all the wagons in use hewm,‘{ brought from the North, saddled with freight and commissions enough {0 make a nice profit. There are no milis within many miles, and our flour comes from St. Louis, Nashville or Cincinnatj, at the enormous price of $l4 per barrel. The country is running wild after milroads, and I should not be surprised if there was some wild cat about. This isithe season of pic-nics and celebrations; on the 24th of June, at a Masonic celebration in Jackson county, near Point Rock, two desperadoes (brothers) named Whitcotton—who had bushwhacked . during the war for the confederates until the Federal troops got possession, when they changed over to bushwhack for the Yankees—came on the ground at the Blue springs, where the masons were assembled, expressly for a row with & man named Woodell. They attempted to shoot him, but their revolvers would not go. Woodell had a shotgun with which he attempted to defend himself, but in the struggle it was fired in the ground, when the friends and neighbors of Woodell came to his rescue. About fifteen 'shots were fired, resulting in the riddling of the bodies of the Whitcottons, causing instant death. Their bodies were put in & box car and taken back to a station, in which they remained all night; not an expression of sympathy has yet been made. No Ku Klux in this affair—all parties tothe manor born. The colored gents are imbued with much of the same spirit; they are armed all the time, and in a moment of passion they ‘shout one another like demons. They are disappearing very tast, and in twenty years they will be a creature of the past, unless our philanthropists in the North will make an apglication of their teaching—come down and absorh that element. By the way, they are holding’ a heavy revival in the Baptist Church.: The Bpring branch was full from 10 A. u. till SP. M. I counted 132 washed. They seemed to enjoy the operatior with much zeal. The multitude were gathered from all quarters for ‘many miles around, until the grounds (containing five acres) were jammed and crowded to suffocation. House tops, sheds, and trees were full to breaking down—one shed coming down in .close proximity with the ducking crowd, but noone was hurt. Bo the performances ‘went on. Such jumping, shouting and yelling, on coming out of the water, nev‘er was witnessed only among these Southern negroes. It is plaguy exciting, and ‘betterthan a circus, for this is original. ‘To illustrate the general expression, I will give you, as near as I can, the words of ! one old woman giving her experience:

“Oh brederen! Bress God! Bress Jesus! I'me got & new heart. Oh brederen, he come down an’ he bust me wide open like a hog, an’ he take dis ole rotten beart out ob me an’ an’ gim me a a bran new one, ah! Bress God{- Dis ole nigah am happy agin,ah! Ot O! O I wish Northern Indiana could have witnessed the scenes of that day. Recently while up the Memphis & Charleston R.R., about' fifty miles, on business to Bellfount, the county town of Jackson county, I had to go on foot about 21¢ miles from the railroad. It is a wild, beavy timbered country— back woods indeed. The inhabitants are “few and far between;” while on the way I met a specimen citizen of Jackson—tall, raw boned, slabsided, spindle-legged, reugh looking sucker ; clothes home made, and butternut cotton. I looked at him shy —~bet ona bushwhack—but on approaching me, a conversation ensued that wasa good joke on our unpretending city. I'spoke first: “How do you do, stranger?’ = . “Good. How are you, boss?” “Can you tell me if this is the road to Bellfast ?”

“I should think so; been thar manya time. Haint yew a stranger in these parts?” 3 i “Yes. lam a stranger, going to Bellfm.” i g “Whar are you from, stranger? “From Huntsville, below here.” “Ah! Yes! Huntsville! Ol I've been thar: used to go down thar to trade, with eggs, butter, and chickens.

" r I presume the Republicans of Ligonier and viciaity will wonder why I should correspond with 8 Democratic paper, and to ease their minds onthat subject, I will_ ‘here make the nccessary explanation. I ‘bave always despised an iguorant man ‘mixed with cowardice, and admired a brave, intelligent one, let them belong to any party. When I send an article to an editor, and he either refuses to print it, or when he does do so, will head it with the miserable excuse that “an edditor is ‘mot responsible for communications ‘from correspondents”—just as if the few who read 'his “paper” are not aware of that fact—l deem him both an ignorant man, and a coward. Now you know, Mr. Stoll, I hate your politics, and am always ready to do anything henorable to ‘defeat the policy of the Democratic party, yet I still entertain hopes that you will some day not far hence, sec the error of your ways and flee the wrath to come, and remember when the time comes for you to receive your sentence at the great tribunal that you cannot have the sympathy of the undersigned. But enough of this—l must hasten on to the desired object. I left Auburn, DeKalb co,, on last Saturday morning for Ft. Wayne, by private conveyance, and this ssketch shall give the readers of the BANNER my views ofthe country’s soil and crops. That portion of the country not under cultivation is covered with one dense forest of trees—the most beautiful oak, ash, elm, hickory and walnut that I have ever seen in the State, and the prospects for lumber far exceed my expectations, having been a resident of an adjoining county for nearly twenty five years. The soil is a blue and yellow clay mixed, and in a few places sandy, and seems to be very iendurable. I was pointed to fields that had been cultivated for twen-ty-five years in succession, without receiving any manure other than clover being plowed under occasiomally. The crops now on them are equal to the best in our Noble county. : - Now I will ‘close, by speaking of the erops. I examined several fields of wheat, and found but two that had been struck with the rust, and they were only partially, not sufficient to shrink the grain. The remainder was excellent; it stood up as high as a man’sshoulders, and looked bright and promising. The heads were large and . numerous. I noticed some fields that will be ready for the reaper by the fifth of next month. The oats crop gives promise of a large yield; I observed that a larger proportion of acres had peen cultivated than is usually #own in Northern Indiana. And now for corn. Let fault finders hold their peace, and stop crying “ndé corn.”:. Itis true that it has not the growth that it usually has at this season of the year, but it has a good color, and is very clean.— All good farmers know that the months of July and August are the corn months, and I see no reason why corn may not be # runl vivp.

A well regulated postmaster or deputy assessor would ansWer'prm:g)tly: “Billy !”/ But still that little: word covers more than an acre of ground ; for it is a fact worth recording that a certain aspiring Judge in this District used to answer to the name of “Billg," when he was a boy.— Waterloo Air ine (Republican.) 1 j .

No sooner did the young corn begin to peep through the ground than it wus devoured by hungry cut worms. We understand that he has planted corn in this field the third time this season, and every time the cut worms have not left a single stalk standing, nor even a spear of grass or weed that made its appearance. ' A few days ago he concluded to examine into the matter a little, and he found the ground literally alive ,with worms; and on a patch of ground four feet square he avers that himself and hands killed over four hundred of the little creatures, for they. counted them. - This is a pretty big cut worm fale, but our informant says that the statement as to the number of worms on so small a patch of ground is a matter of fact.” |

DECAPITATION OF JacK Frimww.—The meanest act of the present mean and vindictive administration has finally * been consummated—Captain Jack Flinn has been. removed as mail agent on the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railron%, and his place given to Luman Jones—a questionable soldier and a man whose Republicanism was so thin that he actnally bargained his vote and influence'to Lees Amsden in 1864 for the paltry sum of one hundred® dollars. But he is given Jack Flinné place. Jack was appointed under Johnson’s administration. .Johnson impeached - Grant as a treacherpus sneak and liar, and Grant, little, pusillanimous, vindictive and whiskey guzzling Grant, who appoints mean negroes and meaner whites to responsible offices for the purpose of annoying and humgiliat{:g decent and respectable white people, swears that he will remove. every man that Johnson appointed. just because he lied and John-: son proved it on him, and Cs;g)t.i\in Jack Flinn, the -true soldier,‘who lost his health in the service and the ﬁ;mgeons of Libby Prison, comes under the bane and is removed.—Shelbyville Volunteer.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. < The Supreme [Court of Georgia has dacided that whites and blacks cannot intermarry. This will be distressing news to white carpet baggers in search of dusky partners. { e e : Senator Morton went to the Gettsysburg celebration ina Silver Palace car.— The White Boys in Blue, who fought and won at Gettysburg, did not travel in Silver Palace cars, | A serious riot occurred in Portadown, Iréland, on Friday, arising out of an Orange demonstration. - The police fired upon the rioters, killing one man and wounding anether. ot Eighteen German singing societies of Philadelphia, comprising nearly five hundred voices will take part in the eleventh Saengerfest af Baltimore from the 10th to the 15th of} July. - The ultimate result of Radical reconstruction will be to reconstruct the rich, untaxed bondholder into a titled nabob, with all the heraldry of modern snobbery attached, and to reduce the laboring man to a serfdom, degrading and oppressive as any (which curses the poor of the old world. e ; i Another negro plot has been discovered to burn the town of Lafayette, Georgia, and murder its citizens. Several black conspirators were shot for resisting officers. The telegraph, which it seems is under the control of Radicalism, is silent on all these outrages. It has only.power to yelp “Klu Klux outrage” when there is any disturbance in the South. . The man in Wisconsin who mortgaged his little home to pay his taxes and then went right off and voted the Radical ticket, has since poisoned his white wife and married a negro wench. Itis the general opinion in this man’s case that Radicalism has struck in. This act is almost as ungrateful as that of Ulysses 8. Grant kicking out of office crippled soldiers and supplying their places with “rebels” and genuine representatives of Equitorial ARlea e e

President Grant could’ find time to visit the great Boston musical humbug and attend Yankee horse ‘races, but not to attend the funeral of Herry J. Raymond, & man of more brains ?mn "any that Massachusetts possesses—though Mr. Grant was in New York the morning of the day on which the funeral took place. A parcel of fiddlers and horse jockeys were more to him than the memory of one of the greatest of his supporters.

e »egenkingt of Mr. Seward, the New York Sun remarks:- “Before starting on his present tour, he stated, very explicitly, that within a year there would be a break up of President Grafit’s administration, which he pronouneed the weakest administration the country has ever had : and he assigned, as one reason for going away, that he wished to be as far off as possible when the break-up takes place.” The break-up has commenced. Borie has gone . into . retirement. ‘Whose turn is next ? : i :

| Capital Owns the Country. wPhe Marysville’ Appeal professes to ‘be dreadfully shocked that the Rich;Wm«@nwnmm an edito-’ rial “capitalists or property holders owa the laboring poor, not in servility, . as slaves were owned, byt in joint intimaey.” Lord bless your innocent goul,is not that so ?

solutely aedid the Southern planter his:slaves before the war. ' The legislation of this country' is directed by their wiﬁ and the people are: their serfs, They march to the polls at the bidding of the moneyed lords and vote for the men nominated by them. The present tariff laws are as iniquitous as though Congress were to levy a direct tax of two hiindred millions of dollars a year and divide it up ‘among the manufacturers. Indeed it amounts to nothing more. or less than that.
