DoS'r be surprised if some object
to the mere mention of the fact that
the present tax levy is zoe on the
500 more than 1t was last year, and
especially, if you hint at the addi-
tional fact that an influence recon-
mended it and voted for it which
miagled in the awful cry against
high taxes last election. 1t must be
remembered, however, that the
chief use of facts is to be mention

The Russellville Democrat., 1885-09-10

IT is known without saying 1T,
that no sensible man in this country
is opposed to farmers or any other
respectable class of men, who want to
to organize themselves into societies
or clubs for the purposes and aims
of developing and improving their
calling or business. But while this
is SOL is co aaliy clear that the duty
is encumbent, that in organizing it it
should be done without any threat.
sning consequences to the country,
and as safe guard the organizing
should be on the safe plan of open
doors. With this protection thrown
around them the political demagogue,
the wire puller, the selfish schemer,
the men who always jump at and in
to new moves for personal ends, who
want something OF the sort to ride
into prominence, would find them
selves wofully left, and turn else
where for green pastures, and leave
these organizations to talk farming
and agricultural subjects. Sensible
men enquire what there is IN farm
ing or any other calling in this coun
try that requires the folds of secrecy
to serve its interests. No class of
men in this country, be they farmers,
mechanics, professional men or what
not, can have interests which need
to be hid from the public eyes to be
nourished and fostered, save and
except the class who see in such
conditions the only means to their
own selfish ends and ambitions, and
the country can very well judge
whether its not high time for these
TO be asked to back seat.

THERE is nothing wrong in n

THERE is nothing wrong in pay
ing debts, either public or private,
nor in proper efforts in that direc-
ton, but what strikes one as peculiar
is how a war cry of slower taxes"
which had proved effectual could be
fruitful only IN zoe RAISING OF the
tax levy. The question is was the
wrong in the war cry or in .he boys
that won under it? At any rate we
suppose this particular war cry from
such quarter will be laid away
