John T. Wilson,

Wilson is a banker and a
bondholder. 1t is said that he
has about 100000 in bonds
and bank stock. The $780,
900 is laying idle, doing no
good for any one but the aris-
tocratic owner. On this sum
Wilson gets 6 per cent. in gold,
equal to 5 per cent. in currency,
or $4,000 a year. One hund-
red thousand dollars loaned to
his constituents, at 10per cent,
brings him only $4,000 during
one year. Now, what farmer,
mechanic, merchant, or any
other man who works and tolls,
can make such profits on that
much capital ? On a farm
worth half q million dollars, no
such profits could be realizc I.
The way to put a stop to tnis
unequal and unjust system of
taxation is to vote the whole
Democratic ticket without a
scratch. Work against this
tyrannical taxation party.

of the county having selected
HUMPHREY CLARK, of Richland
Township, as the candidate for
County Commissioner to fill the va.
cancy caused by the resignation OF

out respect to party or preference,
that he is admirably qualified by all
the old Jeffersonian tests to make
an excellent guardian Of taxpayers
interests. Being a most intelligent,
and successful business man, his
economy, industry, capacity, as ev-
idenced in the management of his
own private affairs, is a guarantee
that he will look well to the affairs
of the people of the county Judg-
ment unbiased, prudence with firm
ness, sagacity, watchfulness, care,
and integrity are characteristics pc
cularly required in the discharge Of
the duties dovolving on Commits

Ask. rHvElenal.

When the Radicals tell you
they have reduced taxation,
make them explain how it is
that the taxes paid in 1870. will
exceed those of 1869 over thir-
ty millions of dollars !? Ask
them how it happens that the
internal taxes collected in 1869
amounted to $159,124, 1926.
while those of 1870 will exceed
one hundred and eighty-four
millions ofdollars ? Ask them
how it IS that the people from
1861 to 1865, during the entire
period of the war, paid only
seven hundred and ninety-two
millions Of dollars in taxes,
while in five years since the
war closed they have been
called upon to pay two thous-
and three hundred and forty
three millions ? These arc
facts shown by the reports of
Radical officials, while the par
ty leaders are harping over the
reduction of taxes.

an able and argumentativc appeal to the peo-
pie on behtNlfof the Democracy, and exhibited
the policy of the Radical leaders and its ruin
Ous effects upon the country, in mastery and
convincing manner. An present were highly
pleased with his solid argumentative reason

the vOtersof vinton county present to hearthe
speech of this true representative man OF the
people, who is thoroughly identified with the
interests of the working men, as well as of men
of all classes of the + leventh Congressional
District, and who can be implicitly relied upon
to fuIhll his pledges as Congressman.
lie spoke Of the high taxes upon tea, coffee,
sugar, salt, tobacco, matches, etc., and of the
resolution being introduced into Congress, at
its last session, by Gen. MORGAN, TO exempt
those species of taxation for Federal purposes,
and of the tabling of the resolution-thc lO4
Radicals voting against eXemptlng those luXu-

NEGRO SlflagG
VOTE In VINT0N COUNTY
In 1867.

In lo61-three years ago
the people Of Vinton county
voted against giving the negro
the right to vote, sit on juries
negro children to attend white
schools with white children, etc.
and every township in the coun
ty, excepting Swan, gave a ma
jolity against negro suffrage
Congress then forced African
suffrage upon the people. Las
April the niggers voted in al
most every township in the
State. In Elk Township foul
niggers voted-three BARRIERS
and an impudent cook. Now.
we know that a great majority
Of those who vote the Repub'
lican ticket in Elk, as well as
in all the other townships i'll
this county, are not only op-
posed to niggers voting and
sitting on juries but voted
against it only three years ago;
and we wish to ask all these
Republicans how they can go
to the polls on Tuesday, Octo-
Der II, and vote with these
niggers, after having voted
against giving them the right
to vote? DO the honest white
men Of the Republican party
think that this country cannot
be governed without the as
sistance of the nigger You
improved the country, built the
houses, churches, school houses,
etc, and now do you propose to
sit quietly down and allow the
lawless niggers to come in and
crowd you out of house and
home ? Do you want to so to
the polls and vote with the ne
gro and sit on the jury with
him ? DO you think tits right
FOR negro children to go to
schools established by white
men for the benefit Of white
children ? How can you vote
With that party any longer ?
How do you like being placed
beneath a niger How can
'ou vote the Mongrel State
Ticket and for such 18th
Amendment advocates as John
I. Wilson for Congress and
+. A, FELTON, for county Treas
er? You voted against mig,
ger suffrage in 1867, and now
% the polls and vote against
his Mongrel ticket.

1T Is to bc borne in mind that the Forty first
Congress was not elected on the distinctive is
sue Of revenue relorIn.-ALtenS Messenger.
1t is very hypocritical in tho
Messenger at this the eleventh hour
to attempt to excuse the acts of the
Forty,first Congress, when it is SO
we'll known that Congress was elec-
ted exclusively to enact what havo
TO be called laws for the benefit Of
the African and for the benefit of
rich railroad and other corporations
in all parts of the country. Upon
such "distinctiye issues and no
others, the 41st Congress "was cleo
ted" The exact amount stolen is
not yet known. Perhaps the Ness
engcr can give the outraged and
swindlcd people some light upon
the subject. 1t would not mako q
particle of difference if "tho 41st
Congress was elected on the distinct
i've issue of revenue reform" )" all the
"distinctive" promises would have
been violated in the most shameful
style. ut should be borno
in mind that the e4lst Congress" had
no authority to take the lands of tho
people and confer them upon a few
millionaires. The lands belonged to
the poor people, but under what
tho Messenger calls "tho distinctive
issue ofreform, the lands have been
given TO the rich.
