Every fellow now has more or less poli
tics on the brain, and /, for one, move tina,
the politics Of this State get on q high
er plane. Figures do not lie. Pcrsonali-
ties and abuse is not the mark of gentle.
man. But then to get at tho main issues
OF the campaign it is necessary to explain
the burdens thereof Suppose Mr.. Till
man buys at public outcry 10, OOU scrcs of
land, as the highest bidder, at $40 pcr
acre. The actual cash he has invested Is
800, 900. Mr. Sheppard invests 800, 900
in banking institution, and Mr. Orr the
same amount III factory; and suppose
they were ali brothers, each one has invest
ca his money according to his talents and
lncllnatlon. Assessment time comes. Mr..
L. is asked, how much land he has. He
repllcS that he has 10, 900 acres He is
'lsllcd what 1t is worth; he replies, "all my
ncighbors. according to record, assess their
land at So per acre. | will do the same. 1"
So of his 100000 he is assessed at $50,
600, and the levy is fifteen mills; his tax
then is $4,000. Mr.. Sheppard then ac-
cordlng to present custom, has his $780,
600 assessed ut s60, 900, and consequently
his tax is 100000, which is Just double
the amount Of Mr.. Tillman's, the farmers
tax, and then Mr.. Orr's tax is the same as
Mr.. ShcpparG's Some will say theirs is
money and they ought to pay more. Mr.
Elllman s is money too, for land is money,
