The Radicals have distributed
$340,000,000 of national currency
very unequally and unfairly. The
State of Massachusets is a little more
than one-third the size of the State
of Kentucky. It has about the same
population 1,350,000 each. It has
not as much aggregate wealth as the
State of Kentucky. The State of
Kentucky paid more than $100,000,
000 more tax than the State of Mas
sachusetts. Yet, with almost three
times the territorial area, with equal
population, and with more aggre
gate wealth, in the distribution of
the national currency the State of
Kentucky received 7,000,000 while
the State of Massachusetts received
59,000,000. The six New England
States, with New York, New Jersey,
and Pennsylvania added to them,
making nine States, received

Texas is the pride of the Southern
States, not only for the fertility and
abundant resources of her soil, but
for the patriotism, chivalry and in
dustry of her worthy sons.
While her sister States are groap

tyranny and oppression, the star of
Texas blazes on the political horizon

all discouraged hearts in the South

States of the Union got $130,000,000.
That is but an evidence of the spirit
that has pervaded the whole legisla
tion of this party. It is proof con
clusive of the fact that under their
regime and under their rule the agri
cultural interests of the country are
allowed to suffer, while the capital of
the country has been fostered and
protected.
But yet that is not all; nor is it
the worst. In the counties that com
nnsfi the Ashland District of Ken
tucky, remarks Mr. Blackburn elect
ed to Congress in that District, the
manufacture of whisky constitutes
an important industry, and in these
ten counties the tax-gatherers once
each year collects the sum of two
millions of dollars for the privileges
thereby granted these farmers for
converting their raw material into
whisky, for the purpose of more
convenient shipment to the East.
; !or the purpose of changing their
product from one shape into another
Lhe people of Ashland District pay
yearly two millions of dollars'.
But if we go to the seaboard, where
manufactories flourish, we will find
a different state of affairs. The East
ern manufacturer receives the raw
material in cotton, and converts it
into the manufactured article, but
he does not pay tl at tax. Not only
is no tax put upon him, but, on the
contrarv, they have established a
ivo'eetive tariff system, which ena
bles him to exercise a monopoly over
Mie npo ile of the West and South.
Tliev'have to-day in the tariff laws

The evidences of this disposition
to deal unfairly with the great body
of the American people can be readi
ly traced. In lSbO the aggregate
wealth of the American people
amounted to fifteen billions of dol
lars. The nine States already men
tioned owned at that time one-third
of this wealth. In 1870, ten years
after, tho aggregate wealth of this
country amounted to thirty billions
of dollars, and the nine Eastern
State instead of owninp; one-third,
as tliev did in 1800. owned a little
iocs than fortv-fivo per cent, of the
n-atn wealth of this Republic.
That is but the natural result of the

the Sacramento Record hits the nail
so squarely 6n the head as to justify
its insertion here, 'i hero erer can
be a national party formed out of the
incongrous elements constituting tho
so-called "Independents," and its
leaders, instead of frittering away
their force otherwise, must finally
unite with either tho Democratic or
Radical organizations. If they de

the discomfitedolndependent press to
make somebody believe that they
have any share in the new political

the Democrats for indulging iu jubi

see that this was an "opposition'
not a Democratic triumph. To 'this
kind of babble the plain and suffi
cient answer must be that there is no
political organization in the United
States called the "Opposition;" that"
there is a Democratic party; and
that since the recent victories were
brought about by the voting of Dem
ocratic tickets, they are properly
called Democratic victories, and can
not be called anything else. The
"Independent" papers represent a
movement which is not only dead
but buried, and J.hey may just as well
realize the fact at once, and abandon
their preposterous efforts to persuade
the Democracy that it ought to take
the name of a recently interred corpse
As 1Ye Predicted
In our last issue we predicted that
Butler would make it warm for his
Radical friends before he got through
with them. This we expected to
come to pass at the next session of
Congress; Irut it appears he does not
propose to delay so-long, and unless
Grant takes off his hounds, we may
expect to see the Radical wool fly be
fore. A dispatch of the 11th says:
General Butler is preparing for
mblication a letter showing the
cause of liis defeat, tie claims xo
have been betrayed by professed
friends, and promises uncomfortable
revelations. He threatens to form a
new party in Massachusetts.
It will be remembered that it was
long ago charged that Grant had pur
chased Butler's silence and the sup
pression of certain publications in
regard to liis actions while in com
mand of the army. It may become
necessary for Grant and the Radi
cals to do the same thing again.
Butler will not down at their bidding.
He knows to many of the ring se

deter him from letting them out

not content witn tuese, anu many
other acts of like nature, they have

of consolidated power. Wo have seen
eleven States of this Federal Union
seized and stripped of their means to
enrich the minions of 1' ederal power
We have seen the Governors of those
States excelled from office at the
roint of Federal bayonets. We have
seen Legislatures of those States
driven from their halls, and their
nlaces filled with carpet-baggers and
scallawags, selected under military
dictation, put into their seats for the
purpose of enacting laws to promote
their own wicked ends. We have
seen a State reconstructed the third
time in utter defiance of the laws of
the United States. We have seen a
drunken Federal Judge in New Or
leans issue an order, not the length
of our finger, which overturned and
submerged all State sovereignty with

seen the streets of tho State Capital
of Arkansas flow with blood caused
by the unholy struggle between a
despicable carpet-bagger from New
England and a scoundrel from Arkan

A Mistake Somewhere. We were
assured, two years ago, remarks the
Springfield Republican, on very high
Republican authority, that General
Grant had put down the rebellion
several' years previously; also, that
the "fruits of the'war". would be se
cured by his re-election beyond all
accident. Mr. Blaine and Mr. DaVes
were very positive and eloquent on
these points. It turns.out now that
there was a mistake somewhere. The
rebellion wasn't put down, after all,
and those fruits are still in jeopardy.
We submit that it is rather discour
aging. It appears from official statistics
that the negroes in Georgia own
property to the aggregate value of
6 157,789; and pay taxes to the
amount of 1U.101. At the close of
the war they were scarcely tho pos
sessors of a cent, but their good for
tune has been to live under an early
reconstructed and honest Democratic
Svernment. There is a political
moral in this that is worth consider
