DeIamater's Adm fs.ion


n decision and embodied II IN Its
platform that the home Of the farm
or and his l.ud have heeu excessively
taxed, and have, as tlfC leador "f
the party, come to thai conclusion.
Thus spoke candidate Delamater
in Philadelphia few evenings age.
In other words Mr.. Delamatsr has
come 10 the conclusion that the re-
publican party has been imposing on
the farmer hv unnecessarily and un
Justly taxing him. He needed not
have made such a statement for all
the agricuiturIsts know what he says
in tins respect Il true They also
know that It 1t had not been for hIm
their bill t. equalize taxation would
have passed at the lssst session of the
legislature
The above Is from the Democrat
and Register of last week, and is evi-
deuce thSt it has not opened its eyes
10 tho csu-es Of the changes that
have taken place N this common
wealth.
1t SAYS Mr. Del-mater has come
10 the conclusion that the Repubh-
cau party has been imposing on the
farmer by unnecessarily and unjIstly
tayiug hun Now Mr. Delamater
saws no such thing. not even in the
item that the Democrat and Register
quotes from his speech.
The Republican party has set apart
more than million annually from
corporation tax % the relief of the
school tax in the respective town
ships uf the Common wealth and more
Is promised. but our Democratic
friends have not opened their eyes to
that fact Thev are not yet awake
to that great fact, and that IL why
they do not understand Senator Del
amater's 5 adai-t ION
NJ Belnmater did not say the re
publican party hats been imposing
on the farmer by unnecessarily and
uuju~tly taxing him
But be said the Republican party
has come 20 decision and embodied
the decision in - platform that the
home Of the farmer and his lands
have been exresSl ,clv taxed.
The Democrat and Register should
know that the Republican party
whsT It came INTO power in this state
found direct state tax on the
home ami farm IF every man, aud
that by act of Legislature 1t removed
that tax and now by the blessing Of
Republican rule II Pennsylvania
there Is no state tax on home or farm.
1t Is proud feather in the republ-
can cap that 1t has paid almost $+0,-
Oo0. Gao of state debt that the Dem
ocrats created when they were IN
power When the Democrats We're
IN power they could not pay the in.
tsrest On the debt ther created. and
the state fell behind with its pay
msnts q million dollars year.
That Ii the point ON which our
friends of the Democrat and Regis
ter have not got their eyes open.
Since the Republican party cam,
into power the corporations have de
velopcd and have been of iucalcula
bic benefit to the people Of the STATE
fur the tax on corporations eracteC
by republican rule has almost ex
tinguished the democratic debt O
sac 100000.
81 S64 100000, and that debt is OF
the homes and on the farms of tn,
people, but 1t was not the republi
car party that saddled that debt Oh
the homes and farms of the peopl
Of the cuuutIes The democrats hat
a. much To- do with creating tn,
debts IN the cpuuties of the state n
the republicans had. Il Is the coun
" and township taxes that grind tn
real estate owners.
VIII the Democrat and Registe
deny that 1t Il the county and town
ship taxes that are the burdens o
the real est,Ite owners.
Had the republicans of Juniati
county more to do with puttirg tn
ts= burden Gu real estate than dem
QcsSts Mike out list of mol
in the county and in the township
whose management have brought q,
the hugh taxes
NJ. Delanatsr could MT talk abou
the excessive state tax on houses Al,
farms for no such tax exis-s.
He WIS talking about the exces
sive burdens Of the county and town
shI q ta1es, and h5s heart want out I
the Ps0ple and he told them If he
elected governor he viii do y hat h
can 10 have some of he tax revenues q
the corporations tJs ned over tu tn
counties to lessen The countr an
township laNes. That Is ,ran
statement to make and he Is bEcke
by reSolutluRs passed a3y the repIbl
can convention that nominated nm
That 49, nS!<Hlater,I -EJnlts,ion."
That Is a glorious admission.
We hope he VIII contiuIe TO max
that admission throughout the can
paigu. 1t was Sise "eGaclusiou
when he mad hat admissioS. and
will snow PatyIson Ender So deepl
that he viii never he found political
Iy.
The state debt having been paiC
by the tax on corporations, it Is :h,
proper public POLICY now 10 appi,
the revenues derived from,that soure,
to help the counties That IS the de
crsIon the republican party came tc
when assembled in State Convention
and that Is the decision that Senator
Delamater referred to in his speech
IN Philadelphia, and which ratified
our friends Of the Democrat and
Register.
Though our friends of the Demo
crat and Register have not realized
har he.
