A QUESTION or THE TAX LAw.-Mr.
Leroy Stewart, one Of the substantial
Republican farmers Of Madison town
ship, was in the post Office ct Jasper .
few days since, and loud 10 bis condem-
nation OF the new tax law, saying II had
doubled the amount OF bic tax on his
farm. The farm be occupies was known
- the 4ahin farm. and Is one Of the best
in the county. Mr.. Stewart married one
Of the Mahin heirs. This farm en-
brsces 203 and so loo acres. and Is worth
easily 80 "a acre, or % lao. At the ap-
praisement before-it belonging 10 .
widow and orphan children lit was
justly appraised very low, which &C.
counts for the slight raise IN ite taxa
tion. II Il now appraised for taxation a
s. 5,-about twO-thirds OF its true
value. The taxes in 1891. under the old
law, were $4,000. The taxes under the
new Law this year are $50 "a. an increase
on THE farm OF s1O73. or about rs per
cent. since II has got man to manage II
and make the money from Il. There Is
also listed 10 II this year personality OF
e95, upon which, Of course, additional
taxes are charged, as there was no per-
eonalty charged with il the year before,
where there are no greater charges At
tached to values than on this farm, we
think our Republican friends can stand
the increase without grumbling, know
Ing that the money IL necessary for, and
j. appropriated to the support Of the sol
diers, orphans, imbecilc children, blind
and deaf and dumb unfortunates Of the

Temporary Chairman Owens Ad


William c. Owens, after being elected
as temporary chs!rman or the Demo-
cratic National Convention Ct Chicago,
made the following address. which will
be admired by Gil good Democrats. lie
says:
1.-TWO great dangers menace the DEM
ocratic party. One 10 external, the other
internal. The first IL the organized
machinery OF organized capital, support
ed by the whole power OF the Govern
0ent. The second IL tendency among
Democrats to make issues among them
selves. Two deeds therefore stand be-
fore % indisp q able TO success: Unity
and harmony. OF the one this chair and
gaval stand representative; Il RENAME

greet you, fellow. Democrats a. the ad-
vance guard Of : grand army, sent for

That our csuse may triumph lei us
work in kindness. In the heat OF con-
tenton let US not forget that our political
brother may be just as honest and per-
hsps better informed. Impelled By one

THE public debt has been reduced"
says Mr.. Dcpcw; maturing bonds
have been paid Off" As matter of
fact, maturing bonds have not been
paid off. They have been renewed and
extended. The surplus revenue left at
the close of Mr.. Cleveland's administra.
ton has been dissipatcd 10y the billion

principles run counter To the welfare of
the American people.
The course of the republican party
has not been changed by the nomina-
ton of Harrison and Reid. II is the
party of plundering patcrnalism, of
laundering iinancicring, of class lcgis-
lation; the party of extravaganza, in
tolerance and greed, the party which
formulated the force bill, appropriated
in two years over billion dollars, fos-
tered trusts, established subsidies, in
creased the tariff and dissipated the
surplus.
THE republican party" said Mr..
Dcpew, must appeal To the conscience
and judgment of the individual voter of
every state in the union" But i'm its
platform the republican party makes
no such appeal. On the contrary, it's
expectations of success seem To be born
Of belief that conscience has been
eliminated from politics, and that the
Judgment of every individual voter is
controlled by his greed and rapacity.

Dcpew, "havc learned in Samoa that

I'VE favor" says Mr. Foraker in the
platform, 1.-THE maintenance of the most
friendly relations with all foreign ma.

Samoa Is due Ia an entangling alliance
with Germany and England for the pur-
pose of governing Samoa without the
consent of the people of Samoa.
