VCINVtrnin Ijt viivuij m.mm , diana Mow tbe People arc Taxed. The Republican leaders in this state j arc endeavoring to run the campaign on what they term their successful managexnent of the state finances, ignoring, as far as possible, :heir tariff robbery, re- ; -a aa .j a.-2 i construction lniamy. anu uieir negro suffrage outrage. While we do not in tend, so far as we are concerned, to be led away from the true issues of the campaign, we are willing to examine the financial question, and wiil give such facts and figures as will satisfy any unprejudiced mind that Republican- l ave taxed the people beyond any precedent j in :he history of Indiana. The following tabl:s were compiled bv an exchanirc fro'ji official sources, ; i.nd exhibit, in a favorably light, the j beauties of Itepubhcan fiiiancieriug, in comparison with Democratic cc:nony and light taxes. Republicans set up a claim of great nsansnsy, and glory in the fact that they paid eff the state debt. Is there any great credit to be derived from this fact for the Republican party, while the people have been groaning j under an increased per cent, taxation on a Lrgely increased value of taxable property. That the people may underßtand the fallacy of the claim of these j Radical leaders in this state we pr-sent below a contract of the admin istrati- n sf public affairs under Deuiocratic and Hepublicon rules, the following exhibit of the managenaent of state finances under two decadeaUMtei Democratic rule, and from 1860 to 1870, under Republican ruie. The facts and figures are given, taken from oficial sources, and let them decide as which is the party of economy, and of i a?a c cheap sad good go eminent. ALT. E OP ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY.

Difference 171,631 .".0 An examination will show the same difference in every branch of the government, and the comparison between the Democratic and Republican administrations of State affairs is the? best evidence that cconomv and inteirritv hare , characterized the rule of the Democratic Party- This is most conclusively shown ov tne unerring 1021c 01 tacts and 112i urea. Let the people weigh the testi- ; monv that the figures taken from official sources present as to which party has conducted public affairs with the least burden to the taxpayers and to beat 1 iranee public and individual prosperity and bappiness. Another feature rliaracterized the administration ol' State affairs daring ''the seventeen years of uninterrupted Democratic rule," as the Republican leaders term It. Provisions were made for the charitable and penal institutions that have reflected so much honor upon the public spirit and benevolence of tlie citizens of Indiana. The Asylum fur the Deufaad Dumb, the Institution for the Blind, and the Asylum for the Insane, show the beneficence that has been exhibited in providing for those unfortunate classes of our population. ! The Democracy can noint with nridc ! to what they have arcon.plished fur the , , . , , - moral and intellectual improvement of the people. The munificent educational fund ot the State had its origin in the proposition of Gov. Wbitcomb, when he was a State Senator in the Legislature of ls:i! .'J4. by which it was provided in the charter of the State Hank of In diana that the accumulated r tit- ot" the expected income to the State, from the investment in the stock of the bank, after the payment of the debt incurred by the State in that behalf, should bo a per manent fund, the interest upon which ihould be appropiiated to the csnss of common school education. This fund now amounts to about three and a half millions of dollars, and when settled will amount to over four millions The proposition was bitterly opposed by the leading Whigs in the Legislature, and peristfintlj advocated by the DsmoSfatS. And the Constitutional Convention of 1850, which was hrgely Democratic, made the following provision for education, in Besiion 1, Article 8, of the new Constitution : "Knowledge and learning generally diffused throughout a eommunity, being essential to the preservation of a free government, it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to encourage by all suitabla means, BsStsl. intt ttnolwal, ien

tific, and agricultural improvement; and to provide by law for a general and uniform system of common schools, wherein tuition shall be free and open to all " The General Assemblies that convened fur several sessions after the adaption pf the Constitution were Democratic, and they legislated most liberally for carrying out the provisions in that instrument fur a free common school system. Voters of Indiana, there is the record of what the Democracy have done in the administration of the State government while it was under their control. More could be said, but enough has been presented to show, in contrast with the record of its political opponents, that the Democratic party, while in power, administered the State government wisely and economically, and in the interests of the people.

Foreigners, No party but the Republican party, and no man unless trained in the school of Republicanism, could step forth unmasked, with the bold effrontery that characterizes the Republican press and Republican demagogues in their illtimed zeal to catch the German votes of this country. The echoes of tr.eir curs ings against the Dutch and Irish have scarcely died upon our ears; tbe bloody L.:. - ,,11,. .

Some of its beautiful provisions are: 1st he must continuously reside in the Uni ted States with the intention of becomintr a citizen thereof, fi r throe vears before making his application; in the state six months; in the district '.50 days and is to give 20 days' notice of his in - tend ention; so that if three years should ex - .ire k lh twenty days before cur.. e -hoold have to wait uotil the next r he term 2d On the hearing of such pe tition, any person may appear and opp me the naturalization, and i-u-1 to be made thereon the same as in any civil suit " How lon'jr do you think it should take a foreigner to become naturalized ! under this law, before a Republican iudire for it is all left to the discretion of the jud be to the all become eigner wo expecting a law f 3d unlimited powi the judges to adjourn, from time to time, .

It San conjure up no other reason why it should be retained in power, and therefore cries "ecouomy," seeking to deceive and blind the people with false exhibits and comparisons. As a matter of interest, we present a few facts to our readers on the subject of tliir economy in our military affairs. The war closed some five years ngo. and the country is now at peace, yet the expenses of our standing army during the past year reached the u oco nomical" figure of fifty-eight million of dollars. t'.tir rsfntYlrtn a nf

eiirht million dollars. England has one hundred regiments of troops, and they cost her seventy-five millions. The expenses of our army for the year ending June 30th, 1SC0. amounted to less than fifteen million? of dollars. The expenses of our army for the ! year ending June 30, 1870, amounted to fifty-eight millions of dollars. Th country is at peace now. and was in 1860. The expenses of the army for the year 1S4G during the war with Mexico were between ten and eleven millions of djllars. The expense of the army for 1870 while we have peace foots up fiftyeigbt millions. Bvt this expense U probably necessary to enable them to carry the elections in the southern states, and to pay Gen Sheridan I expenses on his European i t nr.

Her affairs have been so ably maaased bv our efficient board of connty commissioners, that her credit stands above any other county in the state or in Illinois. Our county bonds, to the imoiint of $20,000. were sold to bankers in this state, for cash, at par, at a time when the market was full of the bonds -f other counties, bearing the same rate of interest as ours, selling at t0 cents on the dollar, and even as low as 70 cents. The bonds of Cook county, Illinois, in which Chicago is situated, arc selling in the Chicago market at 85 and M cents.
