Reasons Why You Should ..
Support the Independent Tick

BY falsely saying the farmers q
paying 80 per cent of the taxes IL y
succeeded in having repealed a revenue
law that was manifestly partial to men
of small means and substituting there.

lambs and pigs; that repealed the
5000 exemption, and that collects taxes
twice a year.

BY its false and overdrawn pictures

No. Assessed Amount No. Assessed Amount

But in the face of these figures the In
dependent leaders will argue to cover
up the iniquitous acts of their legislature
that the assessment cuts no figure that
taxes will be no higher in consequence of
a higher assessment and only $a5 exemp-
ton on household goods; that there must
be just so much money raised to defray
the governmental expenses anyway, By
way of comparison let's see how that is:
In 1890 the total personal tax levied. ex
cept school tax on property in Pleasant
township was $l5.s3; this year less mum
ber of tax payers will be required by the
new law to pay 1880, tritle less than 5
times as much. The residents of Harrison
township in 1890 paid $8.09 of personal
property tax except school. this year the
same number of taxpayers will pay $47.25
or nearly 8 times as much as last year.
The same ratio will apply to the whole
county and the Independents are to blame
torit. If they had the power to seat or un-
seat Republicans as they saw Il: and make
a United States Senator, which they did
and no one, not even the Journal, will
deny it. couldn't they have passed tax
law that would have been benefit to the
farmers instead of being detriment
Certainly they could.

The independents Responsible.

The last legislature was dominated over
and controlled by the Independe nts, who
among other things during the session
elected United States which they have
ever since felt proud of. killed the World
Fair bill, abolished the office of Commits
sioner of immigration, and passed meas
ures congenial TO their belief or killed
them at will, of which power and acts
the leaders, as did the rank and file. exult-
ingly boasted. All Legislation should con-
form to the reformer's way of thinking or
die a-borning. Prior to the me eting of
that egotistical body that had the power
to declare Republicans seat vacant and
fill it with an Independent if they needed
his vote, we had upon our statute books
revenue law that exempted from taxation
personal property to the value of 5000,
which law was enacted by Republican
legislature for the benefit of the farmers
and poorer classes. and in a large majority
of cases in Su.ly county the farmers were
wholly exempt from taxation, nothing to
pay but a road and school poll tax But
the Independents said this state of affairs
must not be allowed to exist they must
Cypress the farmer and then make him be.
lieve through calamity sheets and stump
orators that the Republicans are the OPP
pressors. so to misguide and induce the
farmer to vote the calamity ticket he was
last fall first told that he was paying so
per cent. of all the taxes and then that
the Republican State Board of Equaliza-
tion by one stroke of the pen had doubled
their assessment, leaving the impression
upon their mines that the farmer paid 100
per cent when the fact was that major
ity of each audience being so lied TO ac-
tually paid nothing but a poll tax. Such
falsehoods were what made the last legis-
lature and it made the new tax or revenue
law. 1t taxes the farmer on everything
he has on the place from litter of pigs,
lamb. colt, calf and puppy up. Nothing
a day old the first of May escapes taxation
at full value under the new law now on
our statute books by the grace of our late
calamity legislature and besides that all
personal taxes are made to became due

class of legislation the Independent gave
you last winter, Mr.. Farmer. to take the
place Of "A 5000 exemption and no collec-

you want more of it? II so vote the cal

old law, in number of townships in this

Townsend Is another member of the
Tammary ring being formed in our

membership of that combination than
is necessary to the tranactions of bust

secret Secrecy appears to he the main
spring of that order of political belief.
First comes the secret Alliance, then

of destroying the Republicans and
building up the Democracy why did
they and the Democrats work together
in South Dakota and Illinois last
winter, and why have the Alliances OF

why did the South scarcely notice the

Reasons Why You Sh,vld Support
the Republican Ticket.

1t has doubled the percapita o
money since it came into power.
1t has put into circulation nearly fou
times as much silver money as was
ever coined before.
Previous to Republican rule all the
paper currency was issued by the
banks. The government now issues
90 per cent. of all the money and will
soon Issue all of it.
Through the Inter. State Commission
it already controls railroad rates and
will extend the system as fast AS ex-
perience suggests the way.
1t has increased the list of free i'm
ports from 32 per cent of the whole to
Dc per cent and at the same time has
increased the duties on most of the
agricultural products.
1t made small increase OF the duty
on wool, and, in spite of the large i'm
ports before the new duty took effect,
every grower ofthe article that we have
interviewed has received little more
fer his wool.
1t has eliminated from the dutiable
list all articles, the like of which can
not be produced here in sufficient
amount to control the price.
Sugar is only one example.
1t has cut down the revenues from
duties some $50, 100000 per year and
yet so adjusted the protective principle
that the different Industries are more
productive than before and period of
unusual prosperity is developing.
That calamity sheet, the Onida
Journal admits as much.
1t has raised the foreign embargo on
American meats AMI has opened up
new markets for agricultural products
without exposing our own.
1t has passed an effective antitrust
law and successful prosecutions have
resulted; but our opponents are sup
pressing the facts.
1t is experimenting with a view to
the production of artificial ram and
will continue to successful result if
possible.
1t is perfecting system by which
the farmers are to receive the benefit
of the weather bureaus predictions and
continually enlarglng the scope and
work of the agricultural department.
BY many hard fought Legislative
battle it has increased the pension list
until the annual Appropriation for that
purpose is about l35 millions or 2TO
millions for the life of congress, and
the insincere Independents accuse us
OF extravaganza.
The partys history is dotted all
along with commendable accomplish
ments and its future history will be
repetition of the past. =;

he believes tina: cheap money makes

The above is complete editorial

sion that Col. Jolley desired To- make
the regular rate of interest in this state
20 per cent. instead of l2. The man
or the paper that would insinuate any
such thing would lie. Col. Jolly's
vote was to make delinquent taxes
draw 20 per cent. interest instead of

payment Of public dues, and give the
public treasures the funds which they
must have-and law which the legis-
lature will yet be compelled to enact
in the interest of good governm ent. -

EVERY vote for Col. Jolley will be
one vote to retain the tariff tax of $40
per head against South American
cattle; also to retain the IL cents a
pound against their wools, the repeal
ofwhich would destroy those profitable
industries and make a residence in
SulIy county not worth the having.
Such vote would also be one to retain
the duty of 80 cents per bushel on
barley, the repeal of which would
transfer that industry to the Canadians.
