OBSERVATIONS OF INTEREST TO
TAXPAYERS.


The people of Pierce county haye
reason to feel just pride in the pub.
lie record of the gentleman who enjoys
the honor of representing them in the
present State administration-Hon.
Hans B. Warner. Besides proving
himself an efficient officer, in every
way worthy the honorable position
which he now occupies, he has. with
out doing others injustice, rendered
the taxpayers of the county a valua-
BILE service which they can not fail to
appreciate, by the correction of what
had become a grevious abuse in the
assessment of the taxable property of
this county by the State Board of AS
sessment, upon which the apportion-
ment of the State tax is based. 1t is
fact we'll known that for years Pierce
county had been assessed relatively
higher in proportion to her value than
many other counties, and that all ef-
forts of State Senators representing
us, or committees appointed by the
Board Of County Supervisors. to Sc
cure proper reduction have proven
futile. For the information of our
readers and to illustrate a significant
fact we present a comparative state
ment of the State tax apportioned
against this county during the last ten
years, together with the per cent, as
follows:
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1879-10-30

BY these figures it will be seen that
the State tax of this county for 1879
is the lowest that has been levied in
any year since 1859 and that the per
cent. is also the lowest that it has
been during the past ten years, being
but one and three hundred and
eighty-fve ten-thousandths mills per
cent, and with the exception of 1865
the State tax paid by this county has
not been SO low in any year since 1868.
This favorable result is an indication
of the fact that the Taxpayers of this
section of the State, through the ex-
ertions of Mr.. Warner, are at last Sc
curing justice. He has proven his f.
deity to their interests by securing to
them a more equitable assessment and
to the interests of the people of the
State at large by sharing in an econem-
ical administration of State affairs
which has greatly reduced the aggre-
gate of the State tax. While we hope
and expect that the Republican State
ticket as a whole will receive a hand
some majority in this county we trust
that taxpayers who are interested in
keeping taxes down to the minimum
will give Mr.. Warner vote that will
attest their appreciation of his proper
and effectual efforts in their behalf;
they should show to the Republicans
of Wisconsin that they place just
estimate upon the compliment paid
Pierce county in placing that gentle.
man upon their State ticket by giving
him rousing vote. These observa'
tions should receive the candid con.
sideration of taxpayers, no matter to
what political party they may chance
to belong. They are based upon actu
al facts and figures, and twill wash. ;
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1879-10-30

Our Esdaile correspondent last week
requested us to define a 'tGreenback"
bill, which request should then have
received our attention but the mat
ter was accidentally overlooked.
Our opinion is that "'Greenback'
bill'' may properly be defined as a
Government note issued in the form,
and by law given the character, of cir
culating paper currency. Greenbacks,
so-called, were first issued under the
provisions of an Act of Congress ap.
proved March Sd, 1868, the passage of
which law was prompted solely by a
great exigency as war measure. A
late edition of Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary, standard work, defines
"Greenback" as follows: "a legal
tender note Of the United States, first
issued on the breaking out of the late
civil war. The devices OH the back OF
notes so issued by the National Banks
are printed with green ink, mainly
for the purpose of preventing altera
tions and counterfeits."

FORFEITURE OF PUBLIC CoNFI-
DENCE.

AS an illustration of the fact that
the Democratic party is in no sense
entitled to the support of the people
we epitomize portion of its record
whereby it has forfeited public con
fidence:
1t opposed the Homestead act.
1t favored the extension of human
slavery.
1t precipitated the war of the Re-
belIion which cost thousands of lives
and millions of treasure.
vigorously opposed every war meas
ure proposed for the suppression of the
rebellion in its incipient stages and
thus prolonged the war.
1t opposed every important measure
during the entire struggle with seces-
sion.
1t opposed all the reconstruction
plans of Congress.
1t opposed the honest policy of keep
ing unbroken the public faith.
1t opposed the payment of the Ma
tons debt according to the terms OF
the contract.
1t opposed the policy of making coin
the basis of value.
1t opposed resumption and denounc-
ed it as wicked scheme, while the
general revival of business and manu-
featuring proves the contrary.
1t denied the right of the Govern
mept to protect the ballot-box from
the unlawful designs Of INSCRIPTIONS
men.
Through the 'sbest citizens of the
South it screens from justice perpetra-
tors of the most outrageous crimes. in
its name.
1t threatened to starve the Govern
ment by refusing to make the appro.
priations necessary for its snstenance,
unless the President should recede
from his purpose to keep inviolate his
official oath.
The details Of its record, especially
during the war. are much more objec.
tionable than this general arraignment
and should prove cenclusiyely to tbs
nprejudiced and conservative observ,
er that. whatever tie Democratic par
~ may have been in the days OF Jack
son, it is not now the party whose sue.
cess would subserve the best interests
OF the country.

The Milwaukee Sentinel gives hor-
rible tale of the treatment of prisoners
confined in the Milwaukee House of
Correction, a titho of which if true
should subject those responsible for
the alleged brutality and inhumanity
practiced there to the severest punish
ment known to the law. The Sentinel
has been sued for libel because of such
publication, and proposes to fight it
out ON that line If it takes its last type
and it's last dollar. A thorough nyesti.
CATION Of the charges will doubtless be
made and if sustained a truly lament
able state of affairs In that penal in
stitution will be shown. For the sake
of humanity we trust that it will be
conclusively proven that the charges
are not well founded.
