The amount of wheat sold by the eight
Northwestern States in 1870 was 1000
600 bushels, and the surplus in 1872 was
about 100. 600, 900 bushels. 1t will be seen
that the tax on these five classes Of goods
alone is double the average value of the
wheat crop at the place Of growth. In
other words, the farmers give their entire
surplus wheat, and nearly all their corn, to
paw the tax on these five articles, When

Jersey City $50 was,a Democratic city,
and the leading Grant men there got a
Repub lcan Legislature to pass what was
called 'The Bumsted Charter" which
made Bumsted Chief Of the Board of
Public Works; +. L. McWlliams Chief
Of Police, and placed all the departments
of the city in the hands Of Grant men.
Bumsted was the wealthiest man in the
city but he soon followed Tweed's example
and commenced to swindle the city. He
was convicted and, Notwithstanding his
wealth and influence, sent to the State
prison. Another chief of department
went crazy and was sent to the insane hos
pital. And now they are trying the ex-
Chief of Police, McWilliams, for conniving
at the robbery Of bank. McWilIiams
awaited himself Of his official position to
aid in the burglary, and then prepared a
plan for the rescue of the burglars after
they had been arrested and lodged in pris-
on. The testimony shows that McWil-

ceeds-the balance to be divided among
the burglars. And If they got caught Nc

This Is the tar levied upon the whole

complaining that the railroads only leave
