CHATr1ELp, July 10th 1875,
Ed. Anti- Monopolist:
Permit me to present a few facts for the
consideration of the tax payers OF Mlnne-
sofa. By reference to the assessment roll
of this township, find that the four lead
ing dry goods merchants of this place pay
as tax on an aggregate assessment OF thir-
ten thousand eight hundred and sixteen dol
lars of personal property, divided as follows:
The largest on an average stock OF ten
thousand dollars is assessed one thousand
dollars: another, on four thousand dollars
is assessed two hundred and sixteen; anoth-
er on FIVE thousand dollars is assessed i've
hundred; another on three thousand dollars,
is assessed one hundred The average
stock carried by these four firms is not a
dollar less than thirty fire thousand dollars
Our largest milling firm, with stock of
wheat in store ranging from twenty to forty
thousand bushels, are taxed on an assess
ment of one thousand dollars PERSONAL Our
wool enfactory. with wool and cloth ranging
in value from five to ten thousand dollars, II
assesses SiL AuHdTeu... a wealthy ns"u 4 :
puted to be worth thirty thousand dollars
not more than one third of which is in rea
estate, pays on frs hundred and thirty fhre
dollars assessed roladtton.' And J. L. East
on, the poor millionaire of Southern Mime
sofa, with banks all over this part OF thu
State, has no more than four thousand sere'
hundred and .ixty one dollars personal prop
erfun Patrons throw in few dollars ant
buy him cow or two so as TO increase nj
personal valuation.
Patrons, the most of these men are point
ical leaders, and have held high position
in the State, County and Towns. And the
would like to give you sound politicsl al
vice this fall: they will pack your caucuses
name the candidates and lead you to IN
polls, and tell you how TO vote.
Patrons, don't pull hard when such me
lead you up to vote if you do the ring WI
hurt you more and the country be ruined
The men that dodge these taxes, OF who
have spoken, portion of them have Dee
and are now the law makers Of Mime

BOYS IN BLUE. - One hundred and
sixty-one recruits for the Sixth Cavalry
passed through on yesterdays passen-
ger train. en- route for California. They
are from St Louis and are commanded
by Lieutenant F. A. Smith, a young
gentleman just from the West Point
Military Academy. The boys imbibed
little too much whisky at Elko or
Carlin. and INDUCED in the luxury of q
free fight west of the last named place.
The casualties were one or two black
eyes and several peeled noses. The
boys said they enlisted to fight and
wanted to keep their hands in. They
appear to be healthy looking young fell
lows, who didn't care cent whether
school kept or not.

A PROBLEM SOLVED. - Some time
since a Virginia City store keeper stated
that he weighed from one to forty
pounds, inclusive, with only four
weights, and offered box of cigars to
anybody who gave the denomination
of the weights used in doing SO. s.
W. Hammand informs us that he has
solved the problem, and that any num-
Der of pounds, within the limits men,
toned, can be weighed with one, three,
nine and twenty-seven pounds weights.
AS the store keeper who offered the
prize was probably a sufferer by the
great fire, Mr.. Hammand does not
claim it.
