Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1871-11-16
Who are the Tax Payers of
Marshall County, Indiana i?


10 stranger who looked over the col
umns of the Democrat, it would evidently
appear that the taxpayers of Marshall
county were all included in the Demo
cratic party; that there were no Republi-
cans who paid taxes, nor any whose rights
(like the negro) We ought to respect.
Notwithstanding this reflection Of opin-
ion, the laws of our State, which are in
tended for the benefit of the whole people
as we'll as the Democracy, contemplate
equal and exact justice to ALL
II our readers will look at the last
weeks issue of the Democrat, they will
md notice to the taxpayers of Marshall
county, Ind, occupying nearly half
double column space, equal to one single
column advertisement, which alone reach
es the readers of that paper; but if you
will observe, the publication of that notice
has been very carefully avoided in the
REPUBLICAN.
A Republican, therefore, must pay his
taxes, or be submitted to a bill of cost, or
! have his land advertised without notice. if
he does not take the Democrat, and vet he
must pay part of the expense of this adj
yertisement
The Democracy when in authority have
never advertised this notice in the Re
PUBLICAN and if this omission on ;heir
part was designed to save the expense OF
a legal advertisement, to the people. we
might excuse the neglect, on the grounds
of economy; but when we take into con
i sideration the fact that this same notice
could be condensed so as to publish it in
both papers at less expense than it i
now published in the Democrat alone, and
thereby give. tie members of both partie,
the benefit of the notice, we cannot but
regard the present conduct of the Ring a.
positive trick, downright cheat anC
swindle ON the people.
The notice referred to, published in III,
i Democrat, occupies nearly one half
double column, which is equal to nearly
one single column. If they charge thei
usual rates for advertising, it Will amount
to near Sf5 for each insertion, which fol-
six insertions will amount to $50. Now
if they will condense the notice to one
half column, at their own rates it weuil
amount TO S45; and we will agree to pub
lish the list the time required by law, fol
+ S21, which will still lie saving to tn,
people, OF S24 on that notice. and in add
ton give the benefit of the notice to Tho
readers of both papers.
i 1t is easily to be seen at first glance tina,
the course pursued by the Ring of thi,
county is not to save expense to the deal
people, but is upon the blind partizan prin
ciple that knows no humanity, that en-
braces no feeling, that is entirely wrapt il
self and selfish measures, to-wit: Nher

ties were placed on the ticket in Chicago

say, dear reader in all candor, that Dem

our contemporary to the contrary notwith
