THE RAILROAD TAX.

The enemies of progress, and the
chiefs of the party who propose to
make of Ottumwa 'dog fenncl"
town, are out in circular to the Tax
Payers, frantically calling upon them
to vote against the tax. These par
ties who want every good thing, and
will have it, always provided some
one else will pay for it, now cry" We
have paid heavy tax to the b. " M.
II. r., we have voted aid to the Sig
Quincy extension II. r., we want a
free bridge, we want new poor
house, &C." If Ottumwa and Wapello
county were made up of such citizens
as those who make the address spo-
ken of, a circular might be made up
that would embrace hundred wants.
If all were like those economists, we
should have no roads, no bridges, no
poor houses, no school houses, nc
churches, and in short, nothing, for,
as class, they always oppose every
thing that will cost them money. AS
a make-weight with the people on
the south side Of the river, they
shrek "free bridge" while in reality,
if free bridge depended upon them,
the people over there would be COM
pelled. to ford till the day of judg-
ment. We ask the taxpayers and
laborers to contrast TIE past history
Of the men who oppose and who
favor the tax, and we venture the as
sertion that in the ranks of those who
oppose you will find all the men who
never voluntarily contributed dol
lar to any public or benevolent en-
terprisc. They always oppose; they
always say it is best to raise money
by individual subscription, but their
names are never seen on subscrip-
ton paper they are the chaps who
would like to have the people on the
south side subscribe to and build a
free bridge, so that they might cross
without paying, but when q vote
comes on that question they will find
as many reasons to vote against a
bridge tax, as they do against the II.
II. tax. When bridge tax is voted
it will be done by the same men who
favor this r. r. tax, and who hereto
fore on all occasions have favored with
rare public spirit, every enterprise
calculated to benefit the country and
town alike. The parties who favor
this tax are the men, whose every eff
fort looks toward the improvement
of the condition of all classes it is
they who build school houses, church.
es, railroads and cities /; it is they who
furnish labor to working men, while
the other class are the men who OBJ
struct everything. They pay for the
general good, only upon compulsion,
and the only method to make men pay
their share towards free bridge or a
railroad is to vote tax which they
cannot cvadc, but which they will
bitterly oppose because they arc never
satisfied unless they can get something
for nothing. And inconclusion.we ad-
monish every true friend in Centre
Township to be on hand on the 18th
inst, and vote for the tax.

Two years ago we heard the green
back inflationists denouncing the re-
publicans because the reduction in
the volume of currency, consequent
upon the persistent efforts Of the gov
erment to pay its debts and thus like
other debtors take up its notes, was
responsible for the fact that potatoes
were then only bringing twenty-five
per bushel. We saw farmer offered
$3.50 per bushel on the street for po-
tatoes, to-day, and we have recently
heard these same imitation howlers
holding the government responsible
for the hard times in the city result
ing from the high price Of potatoes,
flour, ETC., etc. These fellows evident
ly wouldn't be satisfied with the
grand bounce.

the insult and spit in Woods face.
Woods then struck Wing knocking
him down. A warrant was issued for
Wing but he was unable to appear

for 45 cents, but it is most all brought
in by rail. The hay market is fairly
supplied at quotations about the same

is offered and that generally of in
ferior quality. The wool and hide
market is brisk, and good deal COM
ing in at a slight advance ON some

ket like ours, where fluctuations are
frequent, dependant altogether upon

A handful, without paternity, is
being circulated protesting against
the people voting tax to aid our Iowa
Northern railroad. Among other
things it says:
"The friends Of taxation seem to
say by their actions, that you shall
pay this tax, Notwithstanding the
people expressed themselves opposed
to it not one month ago."
The proposition only lacked 81
votes of receiving two-thirds of all
cast, yet this nameless writer says
the 'speople expressed themselves OPP
posed to it." Evidently this man
who thinks one third Of the voters
are the people, has heard of the three
tailors of Tooley street, London, who
met together and called themselves
eve the people of England"

Thomas Caster spent the Sabbath at
home this week. Tom is a good fell
low, and we would like to see the
people of Poweshiek county put him
in one of our lucrative county offices.
He has the ability to fill any Office
within tho gift of the people, and
would make faithful and efficient
officer.-Poaceshiek (Ioaca) Democrat.
The democrats of Poweshiek coun-
ty, while they probably have many
good men in their party, could not
possibly find better ono than Thorn
as Caster, for any position he would
consent to fill. For nine or ten years
he has been the very efficient Super
intendent of the Caster House of this
city, which probably requires as
much ability and close attention as
would any Office in the gift of the
people of Poweshiek county. For
county Auditor he would be especial
ly adapted, and no fraudulent claim
would ever pass through his hands
approved. Outside of politics, we
wish Tom all the success in the world.
