The happy hit AS. Crossfield made
in his speech delivered at Clinton, this
district, is worthy Of considerable
notice. iii which he said: 81 believe,
for instance, that ii your farm is worth
$1,000, and there is mortgage Of
$500 on it, you should be required to
pay taxes upon only your equity, or
$500, and it is my intention to work
for the same if I am elected. ! also
believe that the great railroad corpo-
rations, owning piece of land adjoin-
ing you, should pay the same tax as
that levied upon your farm, even
though there Is not the same improve
ments on the corporation land, for 10
it not benefited from your improve
ments by the natural increase in the
value of the railroad land that comes
from having the surrounding country
developed and made desirablel" A
candidate that uses such utterances
before the public deserves the support
of every man who has a vote, ire
spective of party principles.
Why should wool be free and sugar
taxed! Is it because sugar votes the
Democratic ticket and wool does not!
Why protect rice and destroy salt! Is
it because one grows on northern soil
and the other in the southern swamps!
Why strike down the products of the
north and enhance the value of those
of the south! Is it because the solid
south" is the friend of theDemocratic

If you want to keep up the system
under which the highest wages in the
world are paid to labor in this coun-
try, vote for Harrison. If you want
to try an experiment with your daily
bread and see if you can't better the
best condition of labor the world has
ever seen, vote for Cleveland. This
is all there is of it. You are asked to
exchange a certainty for a possibility;
a fact for a theory. And all when the
great rivals of our trade and manufac-
lures are asking for this step to be
taken.
