F RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES OF
Jackson county, Oregon, for the year ending
July 9th, 1870.
SCHUYLER COLFAX,
O
All the old issues between the Republicans
and Dfinocrats are being, one by one, swept
away, and now iu order to save themselves
from certain defeat at the next Presidential
election, the Republicans are resorting to the
advocacy of the very measures which they
denounced as treason on the part of the Dem
ocracy six years ago. A few days since, in
the Hnase of Representatives, both Aron A.
Sargent and Thomas Fitch, representing res
pectively the States of California and Nevada,
voted for the taxation of United States bonds.
Upon being questioned about it, W. Fiicn
said “We must either tax these bonds, or
the Federal debt will be repudiated in less
than six years. The holders of these bends
ought to be satisfied with exemption from
taxation for the last seven years.”
