The Republicans of Ohio reduce the State
taxes OF the rate of about million of dollars a
year, while the " Democrats" increase the State
taxes million of dollars year. This shows
the diftrence in political economoy between
the two parties. The people must decide by
their votes which policy they prefer. ~.
