Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1882-10-11
Democratic Nominee.
The YirQiniQn saws:

1.-The Herald says Malone voted
against the tax on wooden goods; that
he voted against reducing the tobacco
tax. and then 1t makes statement in
effect claiming that the Fundefs re-
duced the State tax. Such mendacity
is contemplate.
Malone voted with voorhees,, Bay
ard. and others for the commission 10
revise the tariff. He spoke and voted
for the bill to reduce the tobacco tax
one.half; and his speech was published
throughout the Slate. The tax bill re-
ducing the rate 10 40 cents was amend
ed on motion Of ii. H. Ridjleberger IN
the Senate, every Readjuster voting for
it. Whereas Conrad's proposition ID
the House was mere buncombe and so
treated by everybody"
In reply, we would say that the
HERALD nerer said that Malone voted
against the tax on wooden goods, and
we suppose the Virginian did not intend
TO make that charge. II it intended to
say that we charged Mahoue with yot>
ing against reduction of the tax on
wooden goods, we plead guilty TO the
charge and are prepared to prove its
truth from the record. We give below
but one ofhis vote on this subject. We
might give more.
PROVIDED, That from and after the. pass,
age of this act the duty on hannes and
blankets shall not exceed so per cent al
valoren, and all laws imposing any other
duty on said articles are hereby repealed.

The Virqiaian says We charged Ma
hone with voting against the reduction
of the tobacco tax, we did so charge him
and the record proves the charge to be
true. Read the following from his
record:
On the 18th of July, note was reached on an;
amen dment TO the pending bill. which proposed
70 reduce the tax on manufactured tobacco, COM
meDciDg January /. 1858, to 10 cents per pound.

Az TO the re duction Of the State lax.
we know that Mr.. Conrad, democrat,
made the motion to reduce, first, and
that his proposition, was voted down by
the Mahoneltes. This we learn from
the record and we have the right TO be-
lieve that Mr.. Conrad, though demo-
crat, was just as honest in making his
motion to reduce taxation as was Mr..
Riddleberger, and if we mistake not,
Mr.. Conrad voted for Mr.. Rddlebcrger 5
bill. Where is the bancombe? It rather
looks like it was on the side of the Ma
honeites who voted against Mr.. Con-
rams proposition to reduce the tax 10
40 cents and IN faror Of Mr.. Riddle
berger's bill to reduce it to the same
amount. Let the candid reader examine
closely the statements OF both papers,
and decide for themselves what ''men-
dacity Is contemplate"
