Smith on Taxes.
Precept and Practice.

Candidate Smith in his letter of acceptance
expressed great sympathy with the tax payers,
and made bid for popularity by the following
plant against inequality of taxation:
"Taxes are now very unequally borne. Our laws
should be SO changed that all species of property
should bear their equal burden of taxation.
Candidate Joseph L. Smith has long been
regarded as one of the wealthiest men of his
neighborhood, and has for years been known
as one of the prominent money-lenderS OF the
Penobscot valley.
This rich man, who expresses such desire
for equal taxation, paid in Oldtown the present
year on his property on assessment by ofhclals
of his own political party, the enormous sum
of $111.75.
five cents is the amount contributed by this
wealthy reformer toward equalizing the bur-
den of taxation!
AS the tax rate in Oldtown is two and nine
tenths per cent. the tax assessed represents
Joseph L. Smiths taxable property as amount
ing to just SO, S53.45.
How anxious this reform candidate must be
to have sail species of property bear their
equal share of taxation!" Can it be that all OF
his property except some four thousand dollars
is invested in Government bonds and thus ex-
exmpt from taxes? No, it is hardly probable
that he is so extensive a bondholder as that.
Yet he is taxed upon less than four thousand
dollars, while few have any doubt that he will
spend more than twice that amount for politi-
cal purposes in the present campaign.
We should think it would be pretty hard for
the people of Oldtown-where Mr. Smith is re-
garded as wealthy man who keeps many
thousands loaned all the time at good round
rates of interest-to give much credit to his
pretended anxiety for equalizing the burdens
of taxation. And the people of the State at
large will be likely to compare his proclama-
ton of reform with the figures of his own con-
tribution as a taxpayer.

RALLY AT HALLOWELL.

Senator Blaine Addresses q Large Repub-
lican Meeting.
Especial Despatch to the Press]
HALLowELL, Aug. 26.-The Republican raj
ly tonight exceeded in numbers that of Green
hackers last evening. The procession formed
on Second street opposite the depot and there
waited for the Augusta Republican club. They
soon arrived and joined the Hallowell club,
and the line of march was taken up Water
street on the Augusta road to meet the speaker
of the evening, the Hon. j. G. Blaine. AS the
procession passed under the Republican flag
on Water street the whole procession gave
three cheers. The speaking was in front of the
Baptist church. Mr.. Blaine arraigned the
Democratic and Greenback parties in great
shape, showing clearly how much they were
mistaken in their ideas.
Mr.. d. X. Jewell of this city introduced the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Jewell was a
Democrat last year.
Great enthusiasm was shown, and the Re
publicans of this city showed themselves to be
wide awake. The Augusta and Manchester
bands furnished music. The Manchester Re
publican club was in attendance.
