State taxation was 81 ,O52, 7lO,o which her
people, according to the tax rate for 1888,
under Democratic rule, would be assessed
$4,2l0.94 for State taxes. Were the rate

The Dem ocratic party, speaking through

Sumter 60 unty's Saving.

The last valuation of property in that
county was Sl,7l9,lle. At the present rate
for State taxation the people of Sumter
would pay on that valuation s6,s76.47. If
the Radicals were in power, with their
State tax levy of l21 mills on the dollar,
the tax payers of Sumter would pay
State taxes to the amount of S2l, 499.97.
But the State of Florida is blessed with
an honest and economical Democratic ad-
ministration, and the property owners of
Sumter county thus save Sl4,6l3.5O
State taxes for one year. In the three
years last past they have saved in State
taxes $69,22989 They do not want
any more Republican extravaganza, and
won't have it.

Make Treason Hateful.


The Democrats of Leon county should
rebuke, in manner not to be forgotten,
hose deserters from their ranks, who are
leading vandal enemy to trample the
best interests Of this community under
foot. The memory of reconstruction and
the ills that followed is too fresh in the
minds of the people, who in 1876 rose as
man, and by herculean efforts overthrow
the saturnalia of crime and political de-
bauchery that had run riot for eight years
in this State, for them not to view with
the gravest apprehensions the results to
follow the success of the Republican
ticket in this county.
If elected what can the white men on
that ticket do to stem the turbid political
wave which has elevated them to office,
even if they feel disposed to do so? A
stream cannot be pure when the fountain
head is defiled
Willingly or otherwise the few white
men, formerly affiliating with the Demo
Gratis, who have put their shoulders un-
der the tottering structure of the Repub
lican party to save it from tumbling into
ruin, have fallen into cunningly devised
scheme to eventually wrest the State
from the control of the Democracy, and
to restore to power that party which in
the past we'll nigh drained her life blood.
We think we know the adroit hand
that is moving the puppets and should
this alliance succeed it will not be long
before that hand will appear; and, if we
mistake not, it will be familiar to those
who knew the Republican politics Of Leon
county at its worst.
We are not SO much surprised that
foreigner, who is unfamiliar with or indif-
ferent to the humiliation and suffering en-
dured by our people during the terrible
years of radical rule, sh ould lend
himself willing instrument to
the Vaccinations of Republican schemers.
Indeed we are prepared to believe that
one who leaves the thoroughfares of men,
to avoid the people among whom he
dwells, could raise his hand to strike them
in the dust, understanding he has often
in the past accepted the hospitality Of
their homes.
But when men to the manor born, men
whose education from infancy has taught
them to revere the sentiments and tradi-
lions Of a proud and dauntless people,
who, grand in defeat and sublime in mistor,
tune, have risen superior to every fate
when men of this character turn against
their flesh and blood, we are prepared next
to see sons of Southern mothers raise their
arms to strike the breasts that gave them
suck.
What can they expect TO gain by such
a course-what accomplish, if elected, ex-
cept to reap the reward Of political per
idy? They will soon discover that they
have restored 20 life in this county po-
litical monster that Will not down at their
bddn9-a monster that will ere long
rise above them and demand an obedience
which they dare not refuse. They are not,
as they may complacently imagine, the
power which directs this movement, but
its willing tools. There is no middle
ground upon which they can stand, and
as they make their beds SO must they lie.
No Democrat, aye more, no Republican,
who loves loyalty and truth, should stul-
tify himself by voting for such men.

How Marion Has PrOfied Under
Democratic Rule.

The valuation of property in Marion
county for 1887 was S4,585,l84. On this
valuation, with the present mill rate,
the people of that county would be
assessed $l9,34O73 for State taxes. This
is under Democratic rule. But suppose
the Republicans were in power, with their
l24 mills rate-on this same valuation the
people of Marion would have to pay
$57,3l4.8o for State taxes, making a diff
ference Of $38,974.O6 in favor Of
honest Democratic government.
But let's look into this matter of facts
and figures little further, and see how
the record stands for the last three wears.
During this period, under Democratic
economical methods, the people of Ma
rion have paid $50, l.59 State taxes, max
ing the saving to them, when compared
with the extravagant rate of taxation inn
posed by the ENTHUSIASTICALLY
The taxpayers of Marion county would
do well to bear these facts in mind, and
when they go to the polls, vote for low
taxes and good government-vote the
straight Democratic ticket.

Heart Complaints.

The heart is enclosed within a mem
branous sac (pericardium) which Sc
cretes O. lubricating fluid to prevent
friction between it and the chest.
Pericarditis in an inflammation of this
sac.
1t may be acute, or chronic. In
both forms the fluid is altered in char
acter and generally much increased,
in acute sometimes to q pint or more;
in chronic it has measured over a gal
Ion. OF course it greatly interferes
with the action of the heart. The
acute tends to recovery by absorb
ton of the fluid. The fluid sometimes
become purulent, in which case 1t
should be drawn of.
The cavity OF the heart is lined with
q somewhat similar membrane, called
endocardium. This membrane, and
especially that part OF it winch forms
the valves, may also be inf1amed len
docarditis). This gives rise to little
MISUNDERSTANDING as large as q
pea; to O. thickeninG and subsequent
shrinkage OF the valves; to q growing
of the valves to the heart wall; and
later to a fatty degeneration and cal
ciication Of the roughened membrane.
The valves thus become contracted
and otherwise rendered insufficient.
Both perlcarditis and endocarditis are
most commonly due to acute rheu-
matism, but sometimes to Brlght's
disease. .
Sometimes the muscular substances
of the heart is infamed (myocarditis),
resulting in an absCess, or an undue
growth of fbrous tissue which weakens
the wall. In both cases death may re-
suit from rupture of the heart.
The above changes in the valves and
other distinctions to the flow of the
blood generally give rise to enlarge
ment of the heart. This enlargement
for a time is q help, as it enables the
heart to keep up the nOrmalti flow. But
it may proceed as far as to cause a
dangerous dilation or thinning of the
walls at some part and an increase OF
the valvular incompetenCy.
Sometimes the muscular fbres OF
the heart are changed to fat FATTY de-
generation), thus rendering the heart
very feeble. Death may result from
either rupture, or paralysis OF the
heart.
Angina pectoris may be due to
heart disease, though often wholly in
dependent of the latter. When due to
it, it involves liability to sudden death.
