Atter all the loud professions Of economy

Greenback-Dcmocratic Legislature end

The Republican journal., 1879-08-07

1t is 4 source of pride for every Repub-
llcan to look at these figures and see how
steadily under the good management of
Republican Administrations the annual
tax was being reduced. The average
tax for the four years preceding 1879 was
Ss29, 56l90, and the tax levied by the
Greenback Legislature wasS60, 900 larger.
Compare the figures. The leaders of the
Greenback and Democratic parties pro
claimed that they would reduce the State
tax FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS. They ended by increasing
the tax far above the average tax levied
by Republican Legislatures for the four
preceding years. Honest Truth.
