Plastic Slate fer our roofing. and have had no

If a tax of one per cent were levied
upon the above amount for United States
purposes, 1t would amount to S1l, 387, 546.-
70, which is nearly three times rs much
as Ohio collects for State purposes, which
was in 1867 on the aGoyc valuation
So, 1881, O9O.79.
The above valuation of property was
made before the war or in 1859. Anoth
er vaIution must be made in 1868 or 1870.
That the value of all lands and city lots
nave doubled since then no one will deny,
and doubtless much has quadr upled. Say
the next valuation of real estate will be
one double what it was in 1859; then it was
$3.50, 1913 757, in 1870 it will be Sl,347,

be only $500, 000, 600, OF q total of

One per cent. on the above would add to
the taxes of the people of Ohio in 1870

TaxIpg Goyernmept Bonds

The Democratic National Convention
at New York adopted the 4th Resolution
of its Platform, as follows:
Equal taxation of every species of
property, according TO value. including
Government bonds, and other public Sc
curities."
The revenues Of the United States, IN
der the laws Of q Republican Congress,
are mainly derived from the tariff, sale of
public lands. internal revenue from tax
on incomes over 81 1000 per year, tax on
the manufacture of whiskey and tobacco.
The tax on all other manufactures has
been repealed, relieving manufacturers
from a tax of S167, 000, 900 per year,
which they have heretofore paid. They
nave levied no direct tax upon lands and
chattel property.
For the benefit of the fortunate owners
of lands and chattels, we will show them
what taxes they would pay the United
States, in addition to those now paid, if
the Democratic party succeeded in getting
into power, as shown in the above reso
luton. We take the valuation of real
and personal property from the Auditor Of
States report for 1867:
For Ohio land, in country, $5Ol, 4 1854.
For city and town lots, Z 2.849, l13.

RENDERING LARD FOR FAMILY UsE-It
should be remembered in the first place that
the melting Of lard pressrpes at, without US
ing salt or any thing else. There is nothing
better for melting it than a cast iron pan,
but great c'~c should be taken that the ire
applied is uniform and no part of the lard
scorches. The fire should be fitted TO the
pan, or the pan to the fire, and the heat
should be as nearly uniform as possible
Let the lard be cut in small pieces and use
slow fire, and the boiling should never ex-
ceed simmer, and the stirring must be con-
tinued until the whole has melted When
this is done, the lard is strained through
sieve to catch any sediment there may be,
care being taken not to disturb the sediment
This sediment, which is about two thirds
lard and one third skins and jelly, should
be boiled very slowly in smaller pan for
the purpose of converting most OF il i"to
fine lard. One great point is to prevent the
lard from scorching, and this can be dons
safely only by constant stirring.

enough Of the evils of which we have spoken;
they feel the oppression under which they

rebel. They dread to be singular; they fear
public opinion that is to say the gbcs of

education, truer taste, may, after while,
