EXCESSIVE TAXA TION.-ST4RT-
LING FIGURES.

Gov. Tilden of New York, made a
speech the other day at an agricultural
fair at Utica. Here are his figures

ed States census, taxation amounted tosS700,
900 900 per year, and it has not been greatly
reduced since. This is 81 ,O0O, 900, 900 in ten
years, or about three times as much rs all the
railroads OF the country have actually cost.
Three years of this taxation amouats TO about
as much as the public debt. Seven hundred
millions of dollars Is MORE THAN THE AG-
GREGATE VALUE OF ALL THE AGRICUL-
TuRAL PRODUCTS : COTTON, CORN,
WHEAT. BUTTER, CHEESE, MEAT AND
ALL THE GOLD AND SILVER THAT THE
COUNTRY PRODUCES PER YEAR FOR EX-
PORT.
The farmers of the country backed by the
other laboring men, and by homes men of all
other classes, can control this matter of taxa
ton if they will. The town and county OH
Gers, are under their Immediate choice aud
control. The representatives in state legsla-
lures, are almost As much the creation of their
choice, though little further removed, the
representatives in Congress may be of their Sc
lection, if they are not made the victims of IN

in those matters, will soon render this impossi-

COMING HOME TO ROOST

This is terribly selfish world. Here
we have been labcring tor years TO make
it plain that the railroads were combin-
ing together to rob and plnnder the
farmers; and that there was no safety
from their injustice and their greed save
in the protection Of the legislative power
state and national. And during all that
time we have received not one word of
encouragement from the Minneapolis
Tribune, but we have had bestowed upon
rs whole pages Of abuse. And whys

manufacturing interests Of Minneapolis,

Gov. Allen, of Ohio, was interviewed
the other day, and in the conversation
he said:
The battle was fought over an idea. The
great desideatum Of the people is . revival of
prosperity. The Republicans promised that
such q realization would very soon ensue up
on Republican victory, by reason of the corh-
dence with which the triumph of their ideas
would inspire the capital Of the country. They
promised that the defeat IF the inflationists, as
they called US, would Immediately let loose all

HOW 4 NAN TALKS BEFORE HE Is
BOUGHT AND LITTER HE IS


We give below, as specimens of one
of the most marvelously sudden conver-
sions known in history, the following
extracts:
1t is certainly the duty of Anti-Monopolists
to vote for Messis. Dyke, Hough and Edger-
ton, and by so doing generally these gentle
men may all be elected. Mr.. Buell., perhaps,
deserves greater consideration than Mr. Pills
bury, for his position may compel him to adj
minister the government, in case OF his cleo
ton, in the interest OF the people. 1t is, there
fore, probable that a good many Anti Monop-
olists will support him with the conviction that
they are thus choosing the less evil.-Grange
Aduance, Sep. %.
Mr.. A. Biermann, of Olmsted, was nomin-
ased by acclamatiou for Secretary OF State. +.
H. Rah,lly, of Wabasha, was also nominated
for Auditor by unanimous vote.-IOung's
report Of the O,catonna Contention Of ,ckich ne
trGS member.
Messrs. Biermann and Rahilly are Anti
Monopolists. Have been so from the first, and
would, no doubt, be with rs row had they not
been nominated by the democrats. Grange
Advance, sept. 90.
Now mark the woiu. change in two
weeks:-
1t follows then, that the proper thing to do
IS to unite soildiy IN opposing the de rocratlc
party, aud thus deprive its leaders Of all fu-
ture opportunity to impose upon the public.
To do this win elect the Republican candidates,
but as they are worthy of public confidence,
there can be no good reason given why this
should not be done.-Grange Aduance, Oct.
81.
So far SO columns of printed matter have
been used to prove that P. II. Rahilly is COM
petent for the office of State Auditor, and no.
body seems to believe it yet.-Grange Adrance,
Oct. 81.
Tell us, for humanity's sake, oh tell us,
who nominated Pat. Rahillyg Who is the
mani We conjure you, oh! ye mysterious, in
scrutable and incomprehensible Seings who
constitute the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, to reply to this all-absorbing conun-
drum.-Grange Advance, Oct. 20.
A meaner and more palpable case Of
outright sale of principles and friends
can scarcely be imagined.

cried for "Garrison |" The sign on the build
ing, "Anti- Slavery Society," was taken down
and broken into thousand pieces. Some per-
sons who unfortunately resembled Garrison
were roughly handled; but he escaped by .
back window into Joseph K. Eayes' carpen-
ter shop in Wilson's lane, where he was con-
cealed for some time until one Of the appren-
tees gave information where he was, when lie
was taken by the crowd into State street with
the avowed purpose Of applying coat Of tar

ertions Of the Mayer and few brave men, af-
ter severe contest, he was rescued from his
cowardiy assailants, and taken into City Hall

dows the Mayor ordered the multitude to dis

umph over all the powers Of corruption

Humanity moves onward;

Another altar burns,
And the shouting mob of yesterday

Editor Of Cheyenne Leader:
Permit me, US n citizen and tax
payer, to make few remarks, through
your columns. regarding the late city
ordinance, CLOSING all saloons be-
tween the hours of one n. m. and five
a. M" The majority of the saloon
keepers are willing to close ut that
hour. aud it reflects great credit upon
our City Council in passing such Or
diuance.
l understand that there is a petition
in circulation to have said ordinance
repealed, but the parties interested in
the matter do not know, or, ut least,
must regard the members composing
our City Council as men who do not
know what the interests of the city
demand. Mayor Whipple. who is one
of the oldest citizens, and who seeks
nothing but what he knows is for the
best interests of the city. would never.
for n moment, counsel any repeal OF
the best ordinance that has been
passed. 1 understand that the parties
who are getting up the petition for the
repeal of the ordinance have the sigma
lures of one hundred persons. If such
is the case, 1 feel confident that I can
procure the names of five hundred
good citizens to have the ordinance
enforced, and l feel confident that all
