A Few More Words to the
Democratic Committee
men Ofthe Townships.

lDGllIOCIu IuIlC kSoAhA AhAbASS
men Ofthe Townships.
Last week we published the
names Of the Committeeman OF
the several Townships of Vim
ton county, and advised them
to organize at once The
names of these Committeeman
can be found in another part of
this paper. We have a few
more words to say to Demo-
Gratis individually.
A good organization is Of the
greatest importance in making
accession to our ranks and in
bringing out q full vote for the
Democratic ticket. While
this work is intrusted to the
township Committees, no Dem
ocrat should conclude that he
has no duties to discharge-no
labor to perform. You have
in your township good Com
mittees, composed of live,
working Democrats who will
not cease from their labors, and
who will do their share of the
work and do it well. But they
must not be left to labor alone;
you must God speed them in
the good work. They must
have the cooperation Of every
Democrat, and you must be
prepared to assist these Com
mittees in the work Of organi-
cation. DO not wait to be
called upon, but go to work in
your own neighborhood in
arousing Democrats to the i'm
portance of the approaching
elections and to watch and re.
pei the attack Cf the enemy;
call upon the Democratic Cen
trail Committee at Macarthur
and procure and circulate
among your neighborS Demo-
cratic speeches, and furnish
them with documentary evi-
dence Of the corruption and
tyranny Of the Radical party
that is fast revolutionizing the
Government and bringing ruin
to the people. To do this and
to do it well you must be pre-
pared to give a portion Of your
time, and those Of you who are
able, must give a little mate
rial aid to pay for documents,
speeches and otherwise advanc-
ing the cause. Every Demo-
crat must not only feel like
working, but be willing to
spend little money in this
campaign. Let every one ac-
cording to his ability give "aid
and comfort in the good work.
Duty to yourselves and to
your country commands your
vigilance and activity. Every
one Of the sixteen hundred
Democrats Of Vinton county
can do something; not one but
has some influence which could |
be made to tell against Radical
misrule and in favor Of the
Democratic party and good
Government. Then let no one
who values individual and pub
lie liberty remain idle. Let
every Democrat feel lis indi- |
vidual responsibility and work
for the accomplishment of the
great mission Of the Democrat.

Government to its original

Hon. L. D. Campbell, who
has received the nomination for
Congress. in the Sd district
made a speech at Eaton, Ohio,
on the 9th of last month, and
in speaking of the internal rev.
enue law, said:
l have here the Commission
er's report Of Internal revenue
for last year. 1t is official. l
have given it my special atten-
tion, because it requires close
attention to get at the result it
contains. | doubt very much
whether you are fully posted
on what it contains.
Some of you, when you re-
ceive these dry documents,
throw them by without reading
them as closely as | have done,
and perhaps had it not been for
my recent sickness, | should
not have worked it as [ have
done. | had to work oversome-
thing, and l went at this.
This Internal Revenue Law
makes the State Of Ohio pay
page 241-last year, $16,OS2,-
400 revenue. The State of
Ohio has q political power in
Congress of two Senators and
nineteen Representatives, all
told; Massachusetts,, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut, Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont-all
six of the New England States
together-only paid last year,
under the Internal Revenue
law, fourteen millions, four
hundred hundred and eighty
five thousand dollars, which is
one million of dollars less than
the single State of Ohio paid.
Now, what is the true rule of
Justice? What is the just, hon
est and most equitable rule? 1t
is that every man be protected
by the law and the power of
the Government in the enjoy
ment of his property, each pay
ing his equal percentum Of ex-
pense of that Government,
whether it be Federal, State,
township, or school district
The man who has $50 invested
in a COW, poor though he be,
has just $50 worth more of
protected by the law
than the man who has nothing;
and the man who has a thous-
and dollars of property is pro
tected in the enjoyment of
that, and ought to pay ten times
more than the man who has
one hundred dollars. And
why? Because the law pro-
tects him in the enjoyment Of
his property. | have a pretty
large landed estate, and a pref
ty large tax to pay
| live in a respectable house
surrounded by my family and
friends. Now there is down,
there working for me a stall
wart, hard,working muscular
Irishman, who works for a
81 so per day. If were not
for the protection this Govern
ment affords he would come to
me and say: "Halloo! Camp
bell, get out. You have lived
here thirty years enjoying these
things, I believe now I'll take
possession myself" And he is
about to put me out. But the
Government says, "Hold; that
dwelling belongs to Campbell.
You must 60 out in the storm,
and your family with you. The
law says So" Here is q man
who owns a fine COW. Anoth-
er man, who is poor and has a
large family Of children, wishes
the milk Of that COW for his
family. But the law says no,
he must not milk that cow
That is not your property, and
the owner must be protected
in his rights. So every man
ought to pay, even if he has no
more than one COW. [ would
tax him and John Sherman
according to their re-
spective wealth.
Now, under this internal rev.
enue system we do not get
just, honest and equal taxation.

PARTICULAR ATTENTION Is called
to the new advertisement Of the Marble
Yard of w. w. Webster, atIuscatine.
This establishment Is the same which
has been SO long and favorably known
through this county, under the firm
name of Simpson g. Webster. 1t 10 the
same which furnished the beautiful
monument that Cedar county raised to
her soldier dead; and has in fact furnish
ed great part of the fine work of this
kind that has been used in this vicinity
for years. Under the present manage
ment, the facilities of the establishment
have been greatly increased, and Mr..
Webster is now prepared, and we'll pre-
pared, to furnish marble monuments,
head and tomb stones Of all kinds--the
work set up, md perfect 81 tisfaction in
all instances guaranteed. He has also
prepared himself to furnish or manu-
facture to order, slate aud marble man
tells, etc, etc., of every description.
He keeps q quantity OF this work on
hand, an examination Of which is invi-
ted. Mr.. Webster attends to his own
business in person, and is an accommo-
dating gentleman, for whom the patro-
mage Of our readers is warmly bespoken.

| PREMIuMs.-It has been the In
tention Of the publishers of the ADvER
TIsER to offer, rs last year, a premium
in the shape Of some worthy publication
to each advance subscriber, whether
new or old. But instesd of this, they
have determined to give them, after the
first of January next, y larger, and they
hope, . better paper.
1t certainly seems reasonable that
with its present railroad prospects, the
county seat of "Old CEDAR shou Id have
. more pretentious sheet, and therefore,
the ADVERTISER will, after the first Of
next month, appear as all eight column
paper. As the price will not be increas-
ed from the present low rate Of one dol
lar and fifty cents per year, the advan-
tage will, for the present at least, be
with the subscribers and not with the
publishers. We hope our patrons will
bear this in mind and renew promptly,
as under such an arrangement all sub.
scriptions must be strictly in advance.
To those who do not now take the pa
per, we can only say that We expect to
make it, particularly as local paper,
well worth while to every one who has
rs interest in either town or county
We only seek to bring this to their no.
tice as an accomplished fact, when. if
they want none oft all right; butt they
can't avoid taking our sympathy for
their benighted condition.

DAMAGEs.-The case Of Alvin Thayer
Vi. McNulty, P. T. Smith and H. v.
Smith, commonly known as the grain
binder case, and which was taken some
two or three terms ago from the Cedar
to the Linn County District Court, came
to an issue on Tuesday last by verdict
and judgemnt thereon for plaintiff, the
damages being fixed at the full amount
asked for, $4,000. The circumstances
which gave rise to this case, it will be
remembered, were briefly as follows:-
The plaintiff, in partnership with the
last named defendants, purchased from
the defendant first named quantity Of
territory tor the exclusive sale Of patent
grain binder attachment, for which the
three partners were to pay $4,000 each,
and for which the plaintiff did pay his
three thousand in land situated near
town. 1t soon Transporting that the pat.
ent was worthless, and further, that the
one selling it had no right so to do, and
the plaintiff becoming convinced that
he was the only one who had paid any
thing therefor, he began suit against all
the other parties to the transaction for
damages equal to the value of his land,
with the result above given. A notice
of appeal was, we believe, filed by the
defendants, for whom the case was con-
Quoted by Messrs. Fairall & Boal, OF

THE Iowa SoUTHw NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
HEARD FRoM-ANoTHEK EASTERN
CoNNECTIoN.-As had been anticipated,
the vote at Clinton last Saturday upon
the proposition to levy five per cent.
tax in aid IF the above named railroad
enterprise, resulted in tremendous
majority in favo. of the taxa majority
Of 7O5 out Of 1914 votes polled. The Her.
AID says, with voting population in
this township OF over 1900, the re-
suit which shows but 1S9 voters opposed
to paying five per cent. tax to secure
another grand railroad thoroughfare to
and from this city, speaks in unmistak-
able language of that enterprise, which
challenges competition in all the great
North West
This action OIL the part Of Clinton
virtually ends all uncertainty concern
ing the building of the Southwestern
Railroad. It will be built, and that
speedily. The following statement
made by Col. Smith, of Clinton, to a
Railroad meeting held in that place the
day before election, will serve to show
why Clintonians feel sure OF another
Eastern connection, on the building Of
the Southwestern to that city-a con-
summation that will be proportionally
advantageous to other places on the line
of the I. S. w. The Age reports Col.
Smiths statement as follows:
"Col. Milo Smith being called for,
remarked that he had just returned from
Chicago where he he'd met the parties
who proposed to assist US to build the
South Western road. He went to Chi
cago with the firm determination to be
satisfied that the building of the South
Western would secure us another east.
ern outlet, or if not so satisfied to vote
and work against this tax. He visited
the office Of the G. b. & @. Company,
having been acquainted for some time
with Mr.. Hall, the Treasurer-and a
man who was fully acquainted with all
the movements and operations of the
company. Mr.. Hall told him that he
understood all about the Clinton pro-
ject, and that in the next room he would
find Mr.. Walker, who could speak per
authority for the company, aud that any
agreement or statement made by him
would reflect the views of the company,
and would he as binding as though
made BY the officers of the company
that in fact Mr.. Walker was Mr.. joys
spokesman in matters of this kind. Mr..
Walker was then interviewed, and he
too remarked, that he was fully acquain-
ed with this project and knew as much
shout It - auy Clinton man could tell
