following: /:

Thus it will be seen that there is
levied upon the property of the peo-
pie of Portage county for the year
1868 the sum of $1S4, 4,727.S515. OF this
amount SIG, 6,71.4215 is for State debt
and sinking fund purposes; $13,976
S814 for State general revenue; $1S,-
169.W for State CANNON school fund
$13.976.1S1s for county tax; S6,98S
O9 3 for Poor House purposes; $27,-
952.37 for bridge purposes SIS, ,691.21 3
for road tax; $5,794.71 for township
purposes .$55,S51.72 5 for township
school and school-house tax; Other
special taxes $7,14O11 3; city, town
and village taxes $S, 1892 3, making a
total of S1S4,727.S5 5. This amount is
levied upon total valuation of prop
erty in the county of $13,976,1s5.
The bondholders of the county pay
no portion of this amount on account
of their bonds, though they and their
bonds enjoy as much the protection
and advantages of the laws of the
State as any other property. {..
The bondholders' children go to
these schools which are paid for by
the farmers, mechanics and .laboring
men of the county, but pay not dol
lar of taxes on their bonds to build
school houses and to support schools.
Ought he to be taxed Ifyes, say SO
.
BY your votes. The bondholder has
the same benefit of the public high
ways and bridges that any other class
of community has, but pays nothing
towards their construction.
Is this right? If not say SO by vo-
ting the Democratic ticket.
Is, the. person OF property of the
bondholder in peril ? The same laws
and courts and public officers are pro-
vided for his protection that are en-
joyed by any other. class in communi-
.ty, but without his paying a cent of
taxes towards supporting the institu-
tions of the State or of the county
from which all this protection comes.
Ought this to be? Then by your
votes help to oust from power party
that is building up in this country an
aIristocracy of bondholders.

The Radical Mass Meeting.

The Radicals held their mass meet
ing here on Thursday last, according
to announcement in the bills, which
were pretty extensively posted
throughout the county for two or
three weeks before hand. It can't be
said that it was very large or enthu-
siastic affair, though some reporter to
a Cleveland morning paper estimates
the number present at 10000. We be-
lieve that affair estimate of the num-
Der would not exceed 1900; at least,
the three halls, Days, Citizens and
the Courtroom, were amply sufficient
to accommodate all those who desired
to hear the speeches, and neither of
these rooms viii hold, when packed
to its utmost capacity, over 500 per-
sons. tits creditable enough to the
Republicans that, ON such day. they
were able to rally as much of a crowd
as that. The sky was vas overcast with
clouds early in the morning and near
fy all day long a cold drizzling rain
descended, rendering it very unpleas-
ant for any one to be out, and but for
this circumstance the Republicans
would, doubtless have made very
respectable show. ~ = -.
The speakers for the occasion were
those announced in the bills, Garfield
Lee, Sherwood and Dave Tod, who
rehearsed their pieces for the hund-
redth time with but slight variation,
lauding their own patriotism and de-
votlon to the country, and visiting
upon those who presume to differ with
them upon the great questions which
concern the welfare of the country
and its people their choicest curses,
denouncing them as 'Copperheads,"
traitor" Secession sympatllizers,"
&c, sc. telling how extremely pay
triotic the bondholders were to come
up to the help of the Government in
the hour of its need and exchange the
Government greenbacks they had in
their pockets, which drew no interest
and which were subject to taxation,
for the bonds. of the Government draw
ing stsper- cent. interest in gold, pay
able semi-annual and eren,pt. from tar-
0tion. There is a specimen of disin-
terested paytriotism for you only
equaled by that of member Of Con
gress who votes to increase his own
pay from $1,000 to- 5000 a year, and
stealing thrown in. Tod did't say a
word about his speculation in Penn.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
A Few Facts Touch1ng Its Growth

On the 10th inst, there appeared in
the World the following 7za. tela D..
EIn 1866 the public debt was S2.423,-
437, ,0O2, Is. In 1868 it is S2,643. 256. .2S5.
An increase of $218,S19, ,282, ,S2. Let
us have peace" rr..s -.-5.. afs
A scurrilous city paper calls this a
lie. Judge. In the report Of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury on the state of
the finances for the year 1867 blouse
Ex. Doc, No. 2, Fortieth Congress. I'd
session, page y it is stated that on the
31st day of March, 1866, the debt was
SO, AZ, 3,437, ,O02 Is. Mind we are speak
ing of the debt now, and not of the
debt less cash in. the Treasury, where
of hererfter. The public debt, then,
on the 3lst,day of March, 1866, being
So, ,423, ,437, ,002 Is, on the LIST day of
September, 1868, is announced in the
monthly statement as S2,643, ,256, ,2S5.
An increase of s21S, ,Sl9, ,2S2 50, as sta
ted. s.F.aH- ...a rsaH ..l.t
So much for the debt. Now for the
debt less cash in Treasury. On the
31st day of March, 1865, it was S2,366,
955,076 "a. On the 1st day ofSeptem-
ber, 1868, it was S2,535,614,3l An
increase of $16S, ,659, ,235 66, OF at the
rate of 81, ,113,639 SO a month and S49,-
363,S7S IS a year since the war ended.
The distinction between debt and
debt less cash has been taken for two
reasons first, if owe 500 and have
$50, my debt is, for all that, 500 and
not S50-I owe the $50 in my pocket
and $50 beside and, second, we know
by sad experience that the cash in the
Treasury does not go to lessen the
debt, but is absorbed by that infinite
army of 1oir leeches that, in the name
of humanity, progress, and moral ideas
soon, commit habitually the grossest
thefts. In tabular form this is
THE GROWTH OF THE DEBT.
Debt. Debt less cash.
