Whig Financiering--Wh the Tax

article will be found peculiarly appropriate
in the present juncture of affairs: aGj1zr
The Wing leaders ask the people at the
coming election again to entrust the State
government into their hands as the only
party capable of managing its affairs. This
comes well from party, the blunders and
dishonesty of whose leading men have SC
largely increased the State debt, and whose
tinanclerng at one time so shook the cred
it of the State, that Alfred Kelley, leading
Wing, then one of the Canal Fund Commits
sloners, made money by bonus which he
received for going the security OF the great
State of Ohio that she would pay the inter-
est on her State Indebtedness. 5s s1aaC
AS sample of whig tinanciering we will
give few facts from the record In 1910
the Wings rode into power on the hard ci-
der hurra, and Aft Kelley, Gustavus Swan,
N. H. Swayne. all of Columbus and all
leading Wings. succeeded to the financial
management of the State, as Commission.
ers of the Canal Fund The credit of ihe
state was then good-her interest had been
punctually paid, and her stocks and credit
stood as high as any in the market BY
their management-or mismanagement--
they sold State stocks amounting to $ .023,
500 at rates running from 10 to 505 cents
on the dollar, and by Which operation the
State Iost the lorge sam Of FOUR HUN
DRIED AND THIRrY.TW0 THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED AND ONE DOLLARS
AND TWELVE CENTS, which large a.
mount is added to the State debt, without
the State receiving any benefit therefor, and
is to be paid by the taxes of cheated peo-
pie, whose only fault was their misfortune
in having Wing rulers. 1t was at this time,
when the Barings' and other English Stock
jobbers had go swindled the State, and
bought her stocks at but little over one half
the amount called for their face, that anoth-
er creditor of Ohio, justly alarmed for fear
the State would repudiate, got Mr.. Alfred
Kelley, one of the Commissioners. who had
thus sacrificed the State credit and the mon
ey of the people, for a consideration in mon
ey, to 60 the security OF Ohio that the semi
annual interest on her State debt would be
paid, and the rcsult was, that white the peo-
pie of Ohio LOST, near ONE-HALF MILLION
DOLLARS. MIR. Kelley pocke,ed his bonus
and thus made money by the operation.
The people Of Ohio, indignant at the out
rage, and f~aling still greater losses by these
Wing leaders, hurIel that party from power
and the credit OF Ohio again rose, and ur
der Democratic rule it stool ,as now stands,
AS good as that of any State in the Union
Again Whiggery gAt power: The peo-
pie %ere taxed heav'tyt to provide means to
pay of the State debt aS 1t became due and
to provide means to pay the ineres'. The
money fotthe former purpose was placed in
the State Treasury, there to remain until
sacredy applied to the object for which it
was raised. This di not suit Wing iinan
crr5 and the Board of Fund Comml >Sioners,
consisting Of Z N. Sill, as acting, and A. A.
Bliss and John Wdods, as advisory members
of the Board of Canal Fund Commissioners,
not only without authority but in direct VIC
la'ion of law, loaned ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS Of the peoples
money thus raised by taxation, to a rotten
insurance company IN Columbus So Sc.
cret was the matter Kept, that nothing was
known of it until the Democracy in 1851
carried The Stale and swept out the Wing
officers and then, this Wing insurance com
pany exploded and thus the one hundred
thousand dollars, thus loaned was lost, and
unless it can be recovered from the Fund
Commissioners and their sureties, land we
are glad to hear that suit to recover ii has
been commenced by the Attorney General, J
it will be a total loss.
Here ere two samples of Whig Financier-
ing by which FIVE HUNDRED AND
THOUSAND AND FIVE
HUNDRED AND ONE DOLLARS AND
TWELVE CENTS, has been lost to the
Treasury of the State, and all OF which has
to be made up by taxes drawn from the
pockets of the Farmers. Mechanics and 9th
er citizens.
The Wing leaders abuse the Tax law and
roundly assert that the taxes are too high
that they are oppressive on the people
Grant that they are higher than they ought
to be-grant that they are oppressive, it is
the Democracy, not the Wings who have
right to complain. for if Wing Financiers
had not squandered the money of the peo-
ple-had they not loaned it to insolvent
insurance companies there would have
been no necessity for such high taxes,
for then this FIVE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
would have remained in the State Treasury
or have been applied to the payment Of the
State debt, and the Taxes OF the people
would have been lessened that amount.
When the leaders Of the Wing party pirate
20 the Democracy about high taxes, remind
them of the fnanciering of Messrs. Kelley,
Swan and Swayne, and OF the loans made
without authority OF law by Messrs. Sill,
Woods and Bliss, and tell them that increas.
ed taxation was a necessary consequence Of
the squandering of the peoples money by
the Wing leaders. When they ask the people
to change9therp present faithful servants aud
to put Wings in their place that they may
re.enact the scenes ofl84l and of 1549, tell
them as the Peruvian patriot told the Span
ish invaders, that "we seek no change, and
least of all such change as this would give
u.s." aa sv3 5sa aGs at4s y.
