1t will be seen by the figures ID the
record above published. taken from the
Commissioners Journal, that they lost
800 81 on t'e judgment against Booth,
besides interest at ten per cent since
May 27, 1851, This interest, up to
the eth of this month, would have
amounted to $26l s. Add 70 this
the 500 81 lost in compounding the
Judgment, and it will be seen thqt the
taxpayers have lost by this Booth
transaction the neat little sum of
1851 40, and this upon the theory chat
Braley and Radcliff will pay up the
note they gave, now over due, No
wonder that the "ring" think that
three weeks is too short time in which
to explain this thing to the satisfaction
of the taxpayers of Jackson county.
Now let me look at this uatter from
another stand point. The Democracy
are bowling about hard times, and they
want to get back to good old Demo
cratic times, like they had under Bu-
chanan. They made war on capitalists,
III
furnace men &c. 1t appears from the
records that Booth got this money OH
the 10th of March, 1858. If am not
mistaken, one james Buchanan was
President at that time DUNCAN in his
card says, that the property mortgaged
to the county by Booth, or really,as he
says, by Braley, was estimated to be
worth 80, 600 1t seems, by Mr.. Dun
gan's testimony, (poor testimony, |
must admit,) that Mr., Savage was not
able to pay according to his contract
and the property had to be put up by
the Sheriff, and the record shows, as
recited by the Commissioners, that il
only brought 1864 90, or less than
half what it was estimated to be worth,
and all this under the good old Demo
cratic times.
Here was Mr. Braley, an honest old
farmer, who by years of labor and the
strictest economy, got a little money
ahead, which he put into Iron Valley
Furnace Co. The Democratic war
upon capital, aud consequently upon
labor, SO crippled this and other COM
panies, that men had to resort to terri
BILE expedients to save themselves from
utter ruin. Mr., Braley, Mr. WeStfall,
and others, in their extremity, did
things that they ought not to have
done, to.wit: borrowed the public
money when they were public officers
This Democratic war upon the pros
perity of the country not only ruined
these men, who were engaged in the
laudable business Of manufacturing
iron, but il ruined the bankers, mer.
chants, many farmers, aud all the la
borerS of our county; and worst Of al
the men who had paid the taxes fol
years into the sinking fund, lost, by The
Iron Valley Furnace Company, West

thousand dollars. ALI this was dont

sioners, a Democratic County Treas
urer and the money lost all went into
the hands of Democrats. And yet the
Democratic ring and their mouth piece
the Herald, have the !mpudence of the
very devil, and hold these same men
up before the public as "succeSslul bu'
siness men," and ask that they again
be put in Office, and that we all 60 back
to the good old Democratic times. Lei
the furnace. men, the taxpayers, and
