THE BETTER THE SYSTEM, THE WORSE
FOR THE FARMERS.
For many years, and, in fact, persist
emily, ever since 1886, when Ohio
adopted the present system of taxation,
Ohio farmers have been clamoring more
and more loudly for protection from un-
just taxation, for greater burdens upon
merchants and bankers and for more
stringent enforcement of the law. The
taxation and assessment laws have been
amended again and again, in obedience
to this demand; and State officers have
been continually more persistent in
their efforts to shift the burden of taxa
tion from farmers to capitalists, by
means of rigorous enforcement Of tax
alton upon personal property. Let us,
therefore, inquire whether there is any
echucuOy W improvement Al tucc0 10
spects, and whether the history of the
last few years encourages the hope that
the evasions of the '.Shylocks" can be
put an end to and the honest farmer re-
lieved, by more thorough assessment
OF personal property. For this purpose,
let us again compare the typical coun-
ties of Hamilton and Geauga former
having an almost exclusively city popu-
lation and the latter being occupied al
most exclusively by farmers.
WATCHES, CARRIAGES AND MoNkY.
If there are any items in whish the
Shylocks ought to make . better show
