The Ashland union. [volume] (Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1856-10-01

Fusionists talked loud and long about
the high saleries paid State officers by
Democrats-that it was one of the great
causes for high taxes, promised to re-
duce them one-half when they obtained
power. Instead of doing as they prom
ised, it will be-seen that they have ab-
solutely INCREASED them. Bear
this in mind. sssst.s aesF ta Il

the Buckeye over the "enormous sala-

Here is the enormous INCREASE
in this item Of SIX THOU
SAND DOLLARS. This appropria-
ton is doubtless intended for the bene-
fit of Banks, which the Fusionists say
are not only not to be taxed on any thing
but their profits in the future, but shall
have refunded to them what the Demo
cratic party collected from them over
and above their profits.
There are number of other items
we might give, but we have not space,
