WALTHAM WATCHES.
PROOF OF THEIR SUPERIORITY.
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT
ANToNA, Pa, Dec. Is, 1867.
GENTLEMEN: The watches manufactured by you
have been in this railroad for several wears
by our enginemen, to whom we furnish watches as
part of our equipment There are now some
THREE HUNDRED THEM CARRIED ON OUR LINE,
and consider them GOOD AND RELIABLE
TIMEKEEPERS. Indeed, have great satisfac-
ton in saying YOUR WATCHES GIVE US LESS
TROUBLE, and have worn and do wear much
longer without repairs than any watches we have
ever had in use on this road. As you are aware We
formerly trusted to those of English manufacture;
of acknowledged good reputation, but as class
they never kept time correctly, nor have they
done as good service yours.
In these statements am sustained by nv prede-
cessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extends over
a series of years.
Respectfully,
EDWARD WILLIAMS;
General Superintendent:
American Watch Company, Waltham.

Eaual Taxation.

The Democratic party talks long
and loud about the unequal taxation
forced apon the people by Republi
can rule, and the orators OF the par
ty, from the least 20 him who has
reached the topmost. round of the
ladder of Democratic fame, 60 to the
farmer and tell him that it matters
not how much duties there are on
goods, how much license the lawyer
the merchant and all dealers have to
pay, yet 1t all comes off the farmer,
and that Democrats propose, if they
get the power, to change this rule.
How? By still further taxing his hou-
ses and lands. Let us very briefly
examine how they propose to equal
ize the taxes. 1t is & self evident
proposition that the duties on goods
are cqualized, that the farmer pays
no more for yard Of calico or 9th
CT article OF merchandise than the
mechanic, merchant or professional
man. Hence they pay tax in this way
just in proportion to their ability to
buy and the demand required OF each.
Is it not plain that no injustice can
accrue in this direction? but how will
they equalize it? We answer this
from the spirit and wording OF their
platform, it must be by taking from
whisky and tobacco and some arti
clcs of luxury and putting it on milk
aud other ncccssaries which wouId
make. it unequal.
Again, It is an axiom III ula,l.e
MATES that equals added to uncquals
produce unequals, and that u. equals
added TO mequals produce equals.
Now, the diversity of property and
OF interest may very appropiiatclv
be brought within this mathematical
rule with regard to taxation. In
other words, to levy just and cqni
table tax on the different species of
property you must levy an unequal
rate-and an equal rate will produce
an unequal tax; therefore the Rcpub-
lican party proposes equal taxation |
though it require an Unequal rate to
secure it; ana the Democratic party !
proposes an cqu;d rate though it,
make The taxes Unequal. We repeat
that in n free country where the di-
versi'y OF Interest and of property 1
is so great as here, that equal taxa
ton cannot be secured any more by I
an equal rate tan all equal product /
can he produced By adding an equal
number to an unequal one. Now,
farmers, when YOU vote the Demo i
cratic ticket, il addition to the duties
already imposed, you vote for an ex-
IRA tax on your COWS and horses, and
your houses and lands. VIII you 10

Frauds. Frauds.


There is not the least doubt in the
minds ofprominent Republicans that
the wealthy and corrupt among the
leaders of the Democracy in this
State contemplate tampering with
the ballot box on election day. In
the TT. Wayne and many southern
districts letters and circulars have
been found and parties detected in
acts which confirm the Suspicion that
has long been entertained that the
corrupt cftle party hope to carry
the State by fraud for Hendricks
The rebels North and South, who per
jnred Observation-Disclosures t.

fo- a violation Of the election laws
It's the design of the fellows, who
were secret enemies of the Govern
meni during the rebellion, to largely
increase the Democratic vote in the
strong Democratic townships and
counties by fraudulent means. 1t is
said that thousands of Kentucky
kuKlux have been colonized in va
riohs Democratic strongholds where
they hope to vote without Let or
hindrance.
Evidences that something OF the
kind was brewing in this comfy have
not been wanting. Early in the cam
paign the leaders boosted of 1000
majority-later they seemed content
with 200 or 800, and l,,tely they've

We charge that the Democratic
Board of Commissioners during the
fiscal year ending May 3lst, '6S, did
make allowances for Comfy Asylum,
Poor House, add, Poor and Supt.
of the Poor Farm amounting to the
prineely sum of S7,93D So
whilst for same year st. Joseph al
lowed for same purposes only SO,
512 40, and the income Of the Coun-
ty farm was 1885, 60.
We charge that during tie fiscal
year ending May 31st, 1865, that
Marshall County paid for county
and township purposes, excluding
pol, taxes, the sum of EO9 cents on
the SlC0. while for same year for the
same purposes. Porter County paid
only 80 cents on the 500, Laporte
County paid only 60 cents on the
500, St Joseph County paid only
} 30 cents on the 800, and Koscius
ko County paid only 81 cents
on the 800. Democratic Allen
paid 225 on the 500, and Democrat
Fountain paid 800 on the 800, for
county and township purposes du
ring same year
We charge that at the present day
the RATE Of taxation in Marshall
County for county purposes alone,
is 6O cents ON the 500. while in
st. Joseph County the rate is only
80 cents on the S1C0 for same pur-
poses.
We charge that the assessment
and collection Of the so called court
house fund adds to the fees and al
lowances made to the, County Audi
tor, County Treasurer, and County
Attorney. large sums of money to be
paid ont of the hard earned tax
money of the people, which large
sums these "oilicials" would not ge.
but for the illegal collection and loan
of such fnnd.
We charge that the Democratic
leaders have never denied that Mar
shall County collects much higher
rates of taxation than neiglboring
counties, and that said leaders, thro'
the Democrat, have tried to mislead
the people by raising false issues,
and by making false statements of
from $4,000 to $4,000 about the
receipts of st Joseph, Porter and
other ceunties.
We charge that the Democratic
leaders have tried to mislead the
people by corraptly proposing to
bet that certain uninportant facts
were true-in effect offered to bet
that the average total tax was 81
600 greater in st. Joseph than Stark
County-and then loudly boosted
that they had backed us down. Some
Republicans 1--WE 10 not approve OF
betting) have offered to bet any
amount Of money that the rates of
taxation are as we have stated, and
the Democratic leaders have never
accepted the proposition, and NEVER |
WILL.
We charge that within the last
twelve years, more than dozen
Democrats in Marshall County, who
held important Offices and trusts,
have become defaulters, and thst
the leaders Of the party have in 10
instance exposed or denounced the
.defaulters; that, Oh the contrary,
