County Reyenue--TaX--BOun on SILK.

The assessed value Of the personal property IN
this County, for 1913, is S6Ol,54 10. Last
year i, was q little rising 100000. This re-
duction is owing tho fact, that the Revenue
law Of 1912, exempted only two beds and bed
ding from taxation that the presen, year ex-
emp;s personal property to the amount Of Sl2o
This year the State tax is 30 cents aud two mills
on every one hundred dollars worth Of property
Last year 1t was 30 cents.
The Board Of County Commissioners, q, their
late sitting, levied a tax for County purposes, OF
l2i cents on the 500, 80 cents for each poll,
and 5 cents for Road tax. The levy. for State
and County purposes, will make the aggregate
tax, payable by this County, for the present ear,
amount TO about $4,000. The Road tax, this
year, about $l,70O, is usually discharged by la
Dor on the highway The entire tax, for all pur-
poses, lowed on n,is County Loot yoaI, was lit
tie rising SIS, 900. The present assessed value
of all the real and personal property in this Gem
ty is Three millions, fire hundred and serenty
thousand and ffty-nine dollars.
The tax Of 2 mills is laid by the State for the
benevolent purpose Of supporting q Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, and the necessary expenses at
,endant thereon. We satisfied that this tax,
amounting TO about $40 for this County, will be
paid willingly by our citizens.

THE TERM "LoCo."-In the use of this term
mean disrespect to the mass of the political
party to whose principles we are opposed. we
are not willing to award to ihem exclusively the
name Of Democrat, believing that tho principles
we advocate truly Democratic as arc those
of our opponents; and il they still advocate the
sub treasury scheme, the vetop power unrestrained,
and the doctrine that the people look to The gov
eminent for too much, we believe that ours are
the only true Democratic and American principles
When our Loco friends willing and will &C
cord to US the name of Democrat, we will give
them the creJi, tc believe that their intentions
are Democratic, but not their principles. The
leaders of the party however are LOCOS, and
we apply it to them in its fullest and most EN-
phatic meaning.

Mr.. Whacomb, 10 bis BrooksII!e speech when
speaking Of The Tariff, SAID The consumer
pays The duty. II foreign article Is taxed, II
must sell IN this country a the old Price with
The doIy added Our manufactures viii raise
their prices to correspond with this rate no mat
ter how low they may manufacture" Facts,
however, stubborn things, and If Mr.. Whit
comb acquainted as he should be with the
price of Domestic Manufactures, at this time, he
would not, If an homes, politician, have made the
above declaration We refer the matter to any
intelligent merchant, though he may be loco>
foco, TO say whether the prtce OF Brush goods
has not CONFIRMED the price of American
manufacturers and directly contrary 10 Mr.. Whit
combs statement. Since the passage Of The
Tariff bill, mud SINCE the revival OF the manu-
featuring Establishments, and consequently the
creation Of Domestic competition, the price OF
American prints and other cotton fabrics have
decreased in pfice least % per cent. and the
BRUSH goods have come down to the same price.
THIS beng true, and with common sense
viii doubt i. does the consumer pay the dutys or
does the Bgltish manufacturer pay it to enable
him 10 compete with The American? The for
egner pays it, and thereby assists IN supporting
the general government. Mr.. Whilcomb how-
ever would abolish the duty, and levy direct
tax upon the people Of this country 10 pay it
We would not compare Mr.. Whitcomb TO IN
rod the mighty hunter" but we do think his or.
gumen,s and opinions the subject of the tariff
are abou, such as were most probably entertain
ed by tina, distinguished individual. A thousand
illustrations might be produced 10 prove the good
policy Of the tariff of AZ. and if there are few
articles imported into this country upon which
the consumer pays the duty, such for instance
as various drugs, dye~stufls, brandy, &c. Their,
is no important article 10 the list, whilst IN,

JESSE d. BRIGHT AND THE BABY ACT.

Jesse ID. BRIGHT AND THE BABY ACT.
The Madison Banner has Of late published a
memorial of old date, from citizens Of that coun.
~, praying for a re-charter of the old National
Bank, TO which memorial, among others, was
found the name Of JESSE d. BRIGHT, the pre-
sent Locofoco candidate for Lieutenant Governor
Of Indiana, who assumes that that Bank and
all Of its friends have over been, and yet are, q
sort Of political pickpocke,s- The Reader will
remember to have seen the Memorial in our col
umns.
The last Indiana Sentinel has apology, (cha.
racieristic Of the fools who conduct itD for this
act Of the worthy Mr.. Bright: and such an aPol'
ogy! 1t reads thus
"Ths Madison Banner, edited by Enghstnan and OF
literally British g charges that JE=sE BRlGH1
signed a in a National Bank many
ago-so many, that, by showing he bat ElG
TEEN YEARS OLD a, the time =! Admit the truth OF
the charge, and what does prove! Nothing than
did, boy wha, his good and experience
has taught him he should not have dons-nothins
far as he is concerned"
We wonder, really, if Jesse will endorse these
Jackasses in thus presenting in his behaf--he a
candidate for the votes of MEN for high office
this contemplate plea Of the BABY LAVA
plea pleaded as a defence by ell the over-grown
babies in the country when sued for debts contrac
ted during their minority! Is Jesse prepared (, g
fofth-"rrue, gentlemen, signed tha, me mortal,
but was Infant" If Jesse chooses 10 occu-
py this position, there is nothing needed but q
sugar teat or glass nipple to complete the pic
ture. Instead of seeking votes, his more appro-
pirate vocation will be promp, resort TO the
sucking instincts of his nature. But The Sentne
goes further and says what follows, in reference
to Jesse's minority:
lt 10 another evidence, however Of the well known
rnpson Of the Bank and tbs Bank rar,y .osgh, and
Obtained The signatures of boys minors
voters--oi any body and every bndy-who could ,tss
died by their spscious humbussery."
We advise Jesse to dismiss these Sentinel SIM
petons promptly. They are positively not fl,
TO do him even the boo,ickipg offices Of more
discreet puppies. This second plea i. worse than
the irst. 1t AYERS that the big baby Jesse va.
