UNEQUAL TAXATION!

In a county like this where equal laws and
rights ale SO loudly boasted Of and than take
up the present tax law in Ohio, and point out
the equality. Oh! what Inconsistency IN such
braggadoclo about the great equalization
setween mankind, when one class Is favored
at the expense OF another. q
Certainly there is great contrast between
the Banker and the Farmer IN paying tax in
this States while one gets to deduct losses
and expences, the other pays on everything,
don have a chance of deducting for losses
by failure of crops, no not at all they are not
the favored class, they are the hard working,
bone and snew Of the laad and are not
worthy las it appears BY the law making au
thorities) Of being guaranteed the many privi,
eses which bankers have. and still they are
loaded down with the burlhens-cary them
they must as long as such corrupt demago
CUES have the power OF making laws these
things will exist, and the innocent people will
have 10 submit as long as they make these
fellows their rulers.
If one halt OF the heart rendering tales of
bankers swindlng could be told or pictured
in living light, it would astonsh lhe whole
Chrlslendom; yes stand amazed 10 sue the
widows and orphans that have been wronged
by these blood suckers. The one fourth part
OF the depredallons cannot he told, they are
hlden mysle res untold and unknown to the
great mass, and Will relnaln in the dark tor-
ever.
Whenever bankers talk Of equality, it ap-
pears 10 be the most ridiculous thing in the
world, when they are robblng and taking ad
sanlages every day OF the people, and stlli
greedy and thirsty for more OF the same sort
of chances. There is no class OF men under
the heavens that have and take more privilege,
1t is true, the civil laws OF the country, grant
and support thenl but, notwithstanding the
evils arising lheretrom are great and should
oe bloted out Of our history, and then things
would be relnslalsd where they properly be-
long.
Bankers don't play the game like card paly
ers, 1t Is not seven up, porAer, old sledge or
euchre, no they might not stand as good a
chance to chlsel and plunder us at the game
they play. They always play the safe game,
having nothing at stake only their false
PROMISES SO there is no risk IN them and there
by no loss sustained on their part, but the
hnn nRa utl ith thar
that the people grow uneasy and commence
running for specie, the bank closes and the
pretty little game Is played, the bankers win
the pile and sneak to their belish dens and
divide the spois won SO easily. These grab
games have been played and before hundred
years similar ones will be heard of. Beware
OF bankers they practice at clear and clean
speculation.
The Ohio Patriot has Tie following, which
shows beautiful specimen of equality:
NO Crop--No Taxes.
According TO ,he present banking laws
at ONO, IT the banks make nothlos curing
the year, they are exempted from 'sxa'ion
--ur 10 other words, the law provides
that they shall pay SIX per cenl. ou 'heH
aiyIueuds alter deductIGg losses aud exs
penses. Ii tins is Just in regard to banks
ers, why would II not be equally just III
regard to Farmers! The present year, III
uauI parts Of the state, the wheat crop
nas ALIEN short on au averages aud In
some sections, ii is an entire tailure.-
rhe wheat grower has not only made no
dividend, bat has absolutely lost his " hole
Years abor Yet the whig law makers,
pretending to be the friends Of equal
taxa, ion,r require the farmer to pay wheths
er lie makes or loses; but TOTALLY exempt
the banker unless he has been success'ul
in his operations! Tms may be schig juss
tce. but has no afiaity to the genuine ars
tiole OF that same.
