Here is the enormous INCREASE in this
item of TWENTY SIX THOUSAND DOL
LARS. This appropriation is doubtless intend
ed for the benefit Of Banks, which the Fusion
lists say are not only not to be taxed on any
thing but their p,cRts in the future, but shall
have refunded to them what the Democratic
party collected from them over and above their,
profit.
There arc a number of other items we might
give but we have not space, and have given
enough 10 show that there is an increase in sal.
aries, an increase in all appropriations, and in
steadof the retrencbment promised the people,
we have ertgau0gaace unparrelled in the history
of Ohio Legislation. Sum the increase in the
above items up reader, and you will see that
they have increased the appropriations in what
we furnish, (and there are many others of the
same character the erroneous sum Of NINE
TT THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND
FIFTY DOLLARS.
This is not all, they have laid ruthless laws
upon the sinking fund, a fund which had been
collected off the people to pay the interest on
the State debt and the principle as it became
due, and have transferred it to the General Rev
enue fund; by this means they can now get hold
Of it and squander it--before it was out of their
reach. Here ii is in their own legislative en-
actmentS:
"Ssc. 8. There shall be transferred from time
10 time as the same may be required, to pay
appropriations on the requisition of the Auditor
OF State from the sinking fund to the general
revenue, sum or sums not exceeding in all
the sum of five hundred fifty-four thousand
eight hundred and nine dollars and thirty-two
ceuts"-554, 800 32.
Not leaving a dime Of that fund for the OBJ
jcct for which it had been collected. But lest
this should still fall short of meeting their idea
Of retrenchment they have increased the levy
Of the tax for General Revenue purposes in the
year 1856, to one mill on the dollar valuatio,s.-n
80 the Democratic Legislature levied sir ter,ths
Of mill on the dollar. Now let us see how much
more the people of Columbiana are taxed this
year to support the State government than they
were last year. Taking the total valuation of
the taxable property on the duplicate of Colum-
biana county, for the year 1856, as a basis,
which is $40, 1875 and multiplying the same
by one mill, makes SIC, 1872 Take the same
amount and calculate it by six tenths of mill,
and you have 6,094,39. Increased tax to be
paid by the taxpayers Of Columbiana in 1856
arising from this single item, $4,062,93.
-Four thousand sirty-t,oo dollars and ninety
three cents citizens, youare taxed this year high
er for the support ofthe State government alone
under the Black Republican Legislature, who
promised you retrenchment, than you were un-
der Democratic Legislation. Notwithstanding
this great increase in the levy for State purposes
there is not single dollar to be collected for
| the payment of the State debt whilst they have
made provisions for applying the sinking fund,
paid by the people to be applied to the liquida-
ton of the State debt to general revenue pur-
poses.
These are plain unvarnished statements and
facts. The EXTRAVAGANCE of the party
now in power, is without parallel; we prove
it so from official documents, which every citi-
zen can see for himself We predicted the res
ult long ago, but the people suffered themselves
to be deceived, and produced the change, and
we apprehend that all will now agree that they
have paid dearly for that experiment We ask
the honest and over burthened tax payers to
remember these things when they go to the
polls and if true to their interests, and the in
tercsts Of the State, they will lend their aid in
eonsigning the extravagant Black Republican
cormorants to merited oblivion --- Ohio Patriot
