JIi: Blaine, the real Republican leader, ayi: K'Vhen President Cleveland de livered his message he had something to say to the American people about the dan ger of 'trusts.'

They are largely private affairs with which neither President Cleveland nor any private citi fn ha any particular right to interfere.'1" The Democratic platform declares that ',& interests of the people are betrayed uihen by unnecessary taxation trusts and combinations ere permitted and fostered, which, while unduly enriching the few that combine, rob the body of our citizens by depriving them of the lenefits of natural competition."

E. J. Hate's address ou the Coneti ration of the United States, a paper to which we have heretofore referred. That the paper mentioned should devote a leader to a review of the production Is to'gli praise of itself and we are sat fsfl4 that a few of the I opening sen lenees of the article will interest our readers and will make ua all proud of the jreputation which one of the citi zen of our 8cate has made abroad. Especially is this true in view of the fact that oar Democratic President, MrvJrCieveland,3 isfighting for the Constitution, while tbe leaders of the Repablicxn party are! doing: their utnwt to break it down, through nul lificitHion of all its provisions. The Courier in the outset refers to Maj. Hale's addles as! an "admira be enrvey,'' and j gives ithe informa tibn that the paper has! been re-pub-Iilhed in i convenient form. It then peoceda to say j j f'Te jsubject la one ihich cannot fal be attractive to ilnglishraen in view of the interest which our rela tins''and kinship with! America in spire;; And moreover, in these days won eonsUtutiona of every sort are urjon their trial, it is useful to inquire what is tbe cause of the stability of the institutions of the United States. It 1 cot to be found in the superior ity' oflhe Republican system to oth ers, for France has tried republics in different forms,, and thoy have not at least possessed the merit of stability. Nor is it to be found in the happy tT isolation ot tne urn tea states absence of any reason for developing a strotjg foreign policy, is a. matter of congratulation to our Transatlantic kinfmen, but it does not account fo, the:6te.bility cf her internal institu tions Major Hale supplies the true reason." "In? the first place," continues the' Courier, "much iB due to the wisdom and foresight of the great men who drafted 'he Constitution. It would seem a if they had been gifted with powers to read the fut ifre and to an ticipate every possible danger. That they succeeded is proved by the fact thatjin all material respects the Con stitution exists almost as it came from theii hands. DeTocqueville said of it that 'their Constitution, which may at first be h confounded with FedQria constitutions which have praded it, rests in truth upon a wholly novel theory, whicli may be considered as a great discovery in modern political ecieuce. : In all the Confederations which preceded the American Constitution of 1789, tbe allied Spates for a common object agreed to obey the injunctions of a Federal Govercnicnt, bijt they ro Feryl to themselves the right cf ordaining and enforcing thie oxwution of the laws of the Union. The Ameri can States, for a common objct, agreed that the Fjdeiai GoverumeDt 8houi aoi only dictate, but should riMC-uio .ia owa ouactint-nid. Iu liin casei4lu4i rig'.it is tne saoie, but the exercise of the right is different and this difference produced the most momentous consequences.' Indeed this difference accounts fdr the fact that while most Federations have Buffered 'dissolution on accouu' of friction between what may be ca'Io 1 the bicuiu and the arm, tho I Constitu tion of 'the United States enables them o aci in unison." Thf Courier does cot beiieve mach in blind trust in the people, the sort iofs trust, at leati , of which it says Uhe rmdiealiBm of theltJoited Kingdom is always preahipg. It thinks it sees in the ohecks had baanoos provided in the Constitution an tliimnation of abso lute irtiti to tho utmost extent possi ble. Isj viw is tha.

There could be no truth more im pottnht with us at tho present time than this which the Courier jays down "The study of the Coastitu tipn of the United States is one which well repays ail the kbor spent upon it" In addition we have the work before ud of- defending tbe Constitu tion from the asta ults of Radicalism, personified chit fly nowadays by the Republican party. These assaul s are constantly being made and i t quire the utmost vigilance of tbe Democracy at every point to the end that they may bo repelled.

Another reeklesa statement made by Colonel Dcckery in his letter of acceptance La I Tlcat whiter educing I he public debt the-llepubllcan party' during the same period reduce taxation also. Toward: the close of : the war, when money was greatly depreciated, heavy taxes were laid. These brought in revenue fc!r the year beginning July 1st, 1865,;$allD,9iS),000 in currency, equal to ajboiit $350,000,000 at par, The next ear beginning July 1,1866. they yielded?' $462,846,000 in cur rency, -equal to about $325,000,000 at par. Ia i-867:be taxes wore $357, 180,000, ekml, to bout 8250,000.000 at (par. In the year beginning July 1, 1869, the taxes were $395,000,000, equal to about $320,000,000 at par. Tne income tax and the taxes on some other favorites of the Republi can party were shortly afterwards re pealed, and the receipts fell off until in 1878 thoy reached the lowest limit, $257,000,000.; Tha next year they took $273,000,000; the nxt vear $333,000,000;' the next year $360,000, 000; the next year $403,000,000. And that in gold or money eqnal to gold : Here it wait sixteen years after the war and they were taking from tho people moe money at par thin they had taken just after tho war. For the yeaivending June '60, ISSb', that the-. last fiscal year, they took frooajthe people $379,000,000, which is $100,000,000 Smore than ten years ugo, aud thofe is no use for that ex cept to buy. bonds at a premium. A queer sort Of reduction that is. But let us look a little further into this so-ealUkl reduction. In 18C8 the income tax Was laid on all incomes greater than $1,000. All under $1,000 were entirely exempt Oat of po nlation Of 40,000,000 only 250,0( people paid an income tax and these had incomes aggregating $800,000, C00. These men had incomes aver ttging more than $3,000 each, and yet when all the people, amounting to 40,000,000, were borno down by the enormous taxation, the Republican party, instead of relieving them, trui-t off the income tax from these 1.000, some of whose incomes were h-y nuTifloua that the entire average wa. .:.000. In 1870 the exemption was itcreased to $2,000; but that did hot satisfy the Republicans. They wipsd out the eDtire income tax the next year. Was this dona in the in terest of the great masses of the peo ple? Tha tax on incomes of $ 5,000 and Over yielded in 1866 $34,500,000, aud yet that tax was allowed to go. But taxes were contiuued on clothing, on na!t, on nocsiar.fc9 of all kinds, even on matches ! The poor were taxed to death; the rich rolling in their $5,000 incomes were let off. : We repeat that the taxes now are ! more than thoy were even in 1865 and 1866, if we allow for the depreciation of the currency. The people paid last year $379,000,000 in money as good as gold. In 1807 they paid but $376, 000,000, and in 1868 but $357,000, 000, and feo'd was not then tit par. And et Col.

Four ear ago, as soon as Mr. Cleveland came i", b recommended tax redaction, first on general princi ple?, because unnereassry taxation was unjust taxation; and secondly, because he foresaw and wished to avoid the financial trouble of having money piled up in the treasury that could not be gotten back into tbe channels of trade aod into the pockets of the people except by buying bnds at u tremendous bonus. Accordingly Mr. MorriBOD, a Democrat, introduced a bill to cut down taxes one tenth. Tbe Republicans defea ed this mea sure, and not content with that, sent much money into Mr. Morrison's dis trict and made it a point to defeat, him for re election. Tbey punished him personally for having introduced that bill. Two years afterwards Mr. Cleve land sent ia his celebrated menage, Rying not one word abour anything but excessive taxation; and Mr. Mills in I reduced his bill ioto the House of Representatives to lower customs duties and repeal the tobacco tax. Tho Republicans fought it a, every step, and on its paesge, of the 149 votes against it all were Radical, in cluding Mr. Nichols, except four, and of the 1 62 who voted for and passed the bill all were Democrats except threes one of whom was arrlndepend ent with Radical leanings. And so Colonel Doekery is in error in saying his party has reduced Fed eral taxation. Cammerclal Epitome. N. V Commercial aud Financial Chronicle. i Fbiday Night, August 24.
