five take the amount appropriated just
before Congress adjourned for the support OF
negroes until next December, being S6,000,-
| 900 for one third of the year, it would show
the cost under the new bill to be S,0O0,-
| 600 per year, and to raise this, Belmont has
to pay $4,000 Guernesy pays $4,000,
| Harrison, $ll 900 Noble, $4,000, and
Tuscarawas, $4,000.
Such are the enormous tax burthens fas-
| tened on these counties, and on the State,
and on every State in proportion, by Mr..
Bingham s vote and consent.
| The aggregate tax Of our own county last
wear for State and county purposes was
| 800, 900. This office holders and negro tax
imposed by Bingham is therefore one>tltth
Of all we pay for State and county purpos-
es The county bridge tax is $1,000 and
Bingham's Office holders and negro tax
$4,000 or more than we pay to build
and keeE up all our bridges.
/ The School tax of the county Is $50. 900
and Bngham's tax for the Freedmen Bur
eau loafers is $lS000 or tNroe-fourths as
much as We pay for our entire school pur-
poses.
The poor white mans tax of the county
is So, 800, and Bingham negro and clerks
tax is $4,000 or six times 10 amount we
pay for all our poor taxes.
These are facts to ponder over, and to ap-.
ply to each county in Ohio.
Remember that every 9Th acre OF your
land. every 9th horse, every 9th sheep, ev-
cry 9th hog and every 9Th dollar is swallow
ed up by the war debt, and by voting for
Bingham you vote to add q yearly tax of
nearly S20,000 for Bureau officers and idle
negroes on the people of each county OF
Ohio.
Remember when you pay your income
tax, that about one, fifth OF it goes to sup
port Bingham = negroes.
Six years ago we exposed to tho people
his plan Of bringing the negroes North and
building poor houses for them right here
among us. That laid him out in 1867
Now he turns round and builds the poor
houses South, and puts the negroes in them
and taxes the Northern people to pay for it
all, and for three thousand new office hold
ers to .boot--as public pa1pers. Let every
tax payer rally and put him down at the bal
lot box again, and that will settle him for
ever. M
eSE The tax in Harrison county is as fol-
lows: State and county 500, 3I9, ,23 School
tax $l4,727,lo; Bridge tax $l6SS,07: Road
tax $2,54O,sl; Poor tax S4,2l3,o9. Apply
