Win the change that you mado "a

.hon,e of times thnt was TO OIL your

with plenty. You VINO had no homes

siob no;,bbors These were the m
d1cements he'd out TO you to vote ioi
Won voted for the change because
Won believed it to be your interest 70
do so For eight long weary ton
- ,,eors Won have tried the change,
and we ask you honestly, now nov
much YOU have been benehieu py ~
Your wares have been increased anu
and your products seemingly coui'
manded better prices, It Is true Du1
the food you had to buy to keep your
selves and families, the clothes you
nnrchased TO keep them warm, ana
an the necessities that nature COM
pels YOU to secure, are Increased uen
fold more than the receipts OF your
toll. While they have doubled your
wages they have trippled everything
Won buv. They have added one dol-
iar m the DAVIS work of the laboring
man. and added three TO the cost Oh
his living for that day everything you
eat. drink. wear, touch, taste or nan
die, is taxed, and everything you use,
from a box of matches to coffin, Is
stamped, for which you must pay;
They have made you "hewers OF WOOD
and drawers of water" for millions Of
idle ignorant worthless negroes kept
ut vonr expense, ana heap tax after
tax upon you to pay lazy, corrupt
officials for assessing and collecting
them. Where your taxes were one
dollar in 1860 they are ten now You
mnst remember that your taxes are
not only what youpay to the collector,
but the merchant, the grocer, the
shoemaker, the tailor, the butcher,
the doctor. and every othor person
with whom you deal gets his proper
ton of them, for they can sell you
nothing but taxed goods, and it is you,
the consumer, who pays all the taxes
in the end.
Count them mp and see what they
are now, then compare them with
what they were before you voted for
a change, and you will see that it has
been a change from good to bad
from plenty TO poverty
1t will not be long until an oppor-
tunity is offered for another change
of administration, and as you have
given Radicalism a trial Of eight years,
we ask you earnestly to think over
the advantages you may gain by CIV
ing the Democratic party another tr'-
al Of four years Times can't be made
worse, and we give you every pledge
that honest men can, that we will
lessen your taxes by lessening the
public expenses. And the way we
propose to do this, is by making the
rich pay their proportion of taxes
by making the lazy, shiftless negro
support himself-by abohshing the
thousands OF unnecessary petty Offices
filed BY thieving officially the most
rigid economy in the public expendi-
lures - by thro oying overheard the
Freedmens Bureau and the "carpet-
baggers" who are running that cor
rupt and unjust swindle upon the na-
ton, and by wholesome Democratic
change in the affairs Of government
generally, all upon the refreshing belief
that WHITE MEN can and viii govern
the country.
By voting with the Democracy,
with full guarantee that its promis-
es will be fulfilled, you can't make it
worse-you must make it better
try it.-GreensbTg Democrat.
