COMM ENcINe TO THINK.

The people of this county, OF
both parties, are getting their eyes
open, and are commencing to think
of the high rate of taxation. We
are glad of this, for if there was
any shadow of excuse for such ex-
travagance in this direction, such a
feeling would not exist. But we
have not the public improvements
in this county to demand such tax
es. We need new Court House,
County Buildings and Jail. But,
what would be the result should
the authorities take steps in that
direction2 simply that eaf5taxes
would be SO high, that but few men
could standit. To remedy this you
have simply gotto vote for Fl. II.
Robson for commissioner, elect him,
and thus have men Of both parties
to manage our county affairs, there
by checking many if not all abuses
that might be attempted upon the
people. -

comes of a Democratic administra-

comes of Democratic administra-
tion.
The Republican party has
so ordered the LEGISLATION OF
the country, that all goods
made in the country hare
been relieved of taxation by
the government, everything
1CoJ71, consumed OF used IN
any except distilled
OF fe,n1epted liquors, tobac-
co and gas. Think of this
1Chen Democrats howl about
taxation.
The average reduction OF
the National Debt under
the Republican .Adnoi7ais-
tration of Grant is $8, $780,
900 q n1Onth-0 tracH on
oUer a. hundred million a
year.! Could the Democrat
do anu better? 'r

IAxES.

There is more or less said, all
the time, by the Democratic journals,
concerning national taxes. &c. out
they never stop to say anything as
to the high taxes paid in their own
counties and towns, unless it be in a
Republican town or county. Now
we do not intend, in this number, to
take up much space on taxes, but
to do justice, we will simply make a
comparison between some of the
strongest Republican and Demo
cratic counties.
Lorain county, which gives from
L 800 to 2,300 Republican majority,
and in which county is Oberlin,
where our present worthy Congress
man, Hon. James Monroe lives,
makes the following official state
ment of rate of taxation, as given
by E. G. johnson in 4 letter to us
which can be seen at this office:
AUDITORS OFFICE. LoRAIN Co., O.
ELYRIA, O., Sept. 6, 1871.
DEAR EDs.:-I enclose you 50,
for one years subscription to the
REPUBLICAN, which please acknowl
edge. SD.
Elyria is a village of over 5000
inhabitants, is out of debt, and pub
lie works in good shape, and hel
rate of taxation this year is thir-
teen mills, or $500 on each thou
sand dollars. 1 give you this item
so that perhaps you may make somt
comparison between a Republican
town and 4 Democratic one. Oul
tax throughout the county will no
average ten mills, including 3 incor
porated villages, and more than one
half of it for schools.
Very truly E. G. JOHNSON.

cate for 1871, the following figures

resign the position on account OF
my age, and having no desire to en-

suitable person for that place.

SOUTHERN TRICK.


Southern Democratic journals are
securing strength for their party at
the South by representing that the
Democratic party, if in power, would
not only pay Southern people for
the slaves which were liberated by
Emancipation Proclamation, but
also pay the Southern war debt.
The first secures the favor Of the
Shareholders, and the last enlists the
support of those who hold Confed-
crate promises to pay. Northern
Democrats do not dare to openly ad-
vocate these doctrines, yet they do
not repudiate them.

EXTRA VAGANCE OF DEMocRA TIC
H1. ..r.it. RULE.

The New York World publishes
TWO PAGES OF PROPERTY FOR SALE
IN THAT CITY, FOR UNPAID TAXES.
Facts of this kind speak volumes
against the extravaganza of Demo
cratic rule. Talk about taxation,
there is no city in the world ground
down to a similar extent with our
own commercial metropolis. $23,
600, 900 year is the tax levy. No
wonder the people cry out in de-
spair and clamor for a change OF
rulers. .r.....

GOES TOO FAR.

Hon. VIM. S. Groesbeck made a
speech at Steubenville on Wednes-
day, of last week. In it he depart
ed farther than the most progressive
.departer among the Democratic
speakers, except, in one instance.
He not only accepted, but partially
apologized for what other Demo
cratic speakers accepted under pro-
test, but the Ewing-Pendleton finan-
cial departure was utterly repudiat-
ed. Hence may arise an unpleas-
antness. The Enquirer thinks Mr.
Groesbeck goes altogether too far in
defending the Amendments as the
necessary results Of the war, and is
ominously silent on the financial
question. .s
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1871-09-21
THE DEMOCRACY ARE SICK.

I .
Their own ''new departure" sup
plemented as it had been by those
of Maine and California, is too
much for them. In view of the sit
uation, prominent Western Demo
cratic journal says: aus
Democrats who desire to be in
strumental in bringing about re-
forms must now see the folly of any
longer expecting any success for
the Democrtic party. Let them,
therefore, leave Pendleton, and
Hendricks, and Stevens, and Thur
man to quarrel over the manner in
which slavery was abolished and the
fifteenth Amendment adopted, and,
joining the Republican party in their
several districts, elect Congress
that will take an intelligent view of
national affairs, and have the abil-
ity to institute and execute the re-
forms absolutely demanded by the
imperiled condition of the country"
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1871-09-21
TOO MUCH POLITICS.

We have heard such remarks
made by a few individuals. Well
we acknowledge that days
the papers do contain too much
politics, but it is a matter of neces-
sity. 1t would be a blessing if the
people, and especially in local mat
tiers, could unite in electing the best
men to Office irrespective of polite
al views, and in nothing is it more
desired than in county Commission
ers. But since that cannot be done
the next best thing lett to do is for
the party in the minority to present
a man of unquestionable character
and ability and ask all good citizens
to unite in eleeting him. The Re,
publicans of this county present
this opportunity this year, in bring
ing before the people and, asking
them to vote for man who has, all
the qualifications, land who, if elected
will serve the people and not party.
Mr.. Robson, the candidate, has had
ample experience in public affairs to
take hold of matters, and show to
the people what has been done with
the peoples money and to watch
also that none is appropriated in an
improper manner. The Republican
party is not anxious for the offices,
but we are desirous Of relieving the
people of this county from paying
such extravagant taxes.
Have the people ever stopped to
think what rate of tax they are pay
ing on the hundred dollars assessed?
We hardly believe they have, for if
they had, action would have been
taken ere this to bring about the
change. we deem 1t our solemn
duty to the people of this county
to give much space in our paper on
this and other political matters, but
to surrender, if necessary, every
inch of our reading space, to bring
before the people the Importance of
change in the management of our
finances. 1t is but a few weeks till
election day, and we ask every good
citizen to not only talk but work,
to bring this matter before the peo-
pie. We shall be glad, when the
campaign is over, for then we can
again fill our paper with reading
which shall be interesting to all
readers.
