Editors IntellIsenSer:
All our country store rooms, mills and
barns cct., are plastered with bills on
which is inscribed: "The public debt
was paid by the Democracy without cest
to the people"
The method by which this is to be done
is for the government TO borrow money at
low rates Of interest and loan II out at
high rates and take the difference in in.
terest and pay of he debt,
This needs but q moments thought to
see how impossible II is to DO such an act.
A man borrows money at 0 per cent and
loans IL to himself at IL per cent and
make money. How absurd. The people
are the government and they owe this
debt and every dollars worth OF prosperi.
" in the United States is mortgaged just
" to that amount. tcost the people the
amount Of this debt to preserve our lives,
and how are We, the people, to pay It by
borrowing money and loaning Il to our.
selves?
Alasl what tricks will politicians resort
to In order to obtain votes.

crowd, "Why he opposed the Reformer,
Sam. ]. Tilden2" Bob gave these as
some Of the reasons for his opposition:
lam opposed to him because he pre-
tends to be reformer. l am opposed to
him because he got the nomination for
the Presidency through advertising, as
you would for patent medicine. [Cheers

What Democracy has Done for
MS in West Virginia.

The last issue Of the Wrt County Mentor
compares the cost Of administering the
government Of that county under the old
(RepubIican) constitution, in 1S72,..with
the cost Of administering it under the
present Bourbon constitution during the
year 1875. The resultof the comparison
Is as follows:

The above, says the editor Of the Men.
Tor, dis the result Of retrenchment and
reform promises by the Democratic
party. Will taxpayers still vote to
continue that party in power which has
been so false to all the promises made by
it? Let us have the Supervisor sys'
TEN restored again instead OF the County
Court"
The increased cost Of county govern
ment under Democratic rule in nearly
every county Of West Virginia is only
one way in which the people have been
taken in aud done for by the Democratic
cry Of reform. The Mentor notices another
one that should be carefully laid to heart
by every tax payer in the State. 1t ia
this: The Democracy, through their
stump speakers, have been boastingly
calling attention TO the fact that the rate
Of taxation on the Sl0O is no higher now
than under Republican rule, viz: 20 cents
for State purposes and 10 cents for State
school purposes. 1t is an easy matter
10 tell lie in the language oi
truth. Our taxes are nominally
the same now as under Republican rule
but in reality they are very much higher
A Democratic Legislature passed an ac'
requiring the real estate Of West Virgi
nia to be revalued, and the result was
that the valuation OF real property
throughout the State was raised $ll ,2lS,
457 81. Add to the former taxes 80 cent
on every slOO Of this increased valuation
and we have an increased levy upon th'
tax payers of the State Of $3.50, ,4OS.
70 for the present year over las
year. Not only this, but we have als'
an addition Of 100000 paid to the Com
missioners who made the re.assessment
making an actual increase Of $500, ,403 Z:
over last year. And this increase is Il
run on through period Of ten years. II
the course of a few weeks the people o
West Virginia will get an installment o
Democratic reform that they will be ap
to remember the balance Of the year ii
the shape of over one.third Of milliol
OF dollars ofincreased taxation.
