Finck's Tricks.
Tho tricky advertisement of George
J. Ffnok. delinquent tax-coliector for
Wilmington hundred is such as might
be expected coming from a pupil OF
John I. Dickey. We give it in its en-
tIrety, bereft of the section OF law
that accompanies it, that the people,
the tax payers of Wilmington. may
zee the opportunities offered for thcm
to pay their taxes. Here it Is:
The taxable residents of Wilmington
hundred and all persons Liable to tax
IN said hundred ale hereby notified
that the Undersigned, delinquent tax
collector for said hundred, will be at
No. go Market street. In Wilmington,
In said hundred, on Thursday, March
", Monday, March 81 and Thursday
March "a, 1902, between the hours
OF ana p. M, aud at the Neccacos
engtne-hou5e on Tuesday, April 10,
1889, between the hours . and p. M.
for the purpose of receiving taxes in
pursuance OF an act of the General As
sembly OF the State. GEO. J. FINCK,
Collector Of Delinquent Taxes of
Wilmington Hundred.
What do YOU think Of 1t, poll taxa
bles OF Wilmington? Can you not
read between the lines. that George
J. Finck does not want you to pay
your taEes9 The whole city OF VIII
mingtonis actually given twelve whole
hours in which the people can pay poll
taxes, and those hours are sandwiehed
In the afternoons when workingmen
cannot come to pay their taxes with
out losing q half days labor. There
are no hours appointed for the even
ings. When Dickey himself sat as re-
ceiyer Of taxes, the law compelled him
TO sit one hour each evening, but this
wholesome requirement OF the law is
totally dlsregarded by George !. Finck.
Norkinginen and mechanics are com
PEELED to lose half day to get their
taxes paid, perhaps not even then will
they get them paid, or they will have
no opportunity at all offered.
But Finck after all Is disposed to be
accommodating, but to whoIu? Read
his advertisement and see. To tile
Tenth ward Democrats. They must
have an extra opportunity offered in
which to pay their taxes, and they are
given three whole hours at the Wecca-
coe engine house. How very consld-
\ crate in Mr.. Finck! Why is he SO ten
derby oarefal Of the Tenth ward? Had
he really been DESTROYS of spreading
himself around the city for tho collec-
ton of tho delinquent poll taxes, why
did he not adve rtlse to sit three hours
at the Reliance engine house, three
hours at the Phoenix engine house
and three hours at the Logan House.
and II he was really DESTROYS OF col
lecting taxes why could he not have
advertised TO sit two hours each even
ingf
But this Ia not Mr.. Flnck's desire.
BE wants the Democrats of the Tenth
ward to pay thoir taxes, but he don
want the Republicans OF other parts
OF the city to pay theirs.
Poor Finek! We pity him. He would
do better than this ii ne was his own
man. He has a genial nature and il
disposed to be accommodating but
he has TO please John L. Dlckey. Our
advice to Mr.. Fiuck is to act honestly
10 the collection OF delinquent taxes
and shut his eyes in regard to tho
politics OF those desiring to pay taxes
Mr.. Finck had batter serve his cou
science than TO serve john 7. Dlckey
Now, a word to Republican poll.ta,
payers. You cannot pay your taxe,
without the loss of llttla time, but +
Is better to do that than 10 submit tc
disfranchisement. 1t will be worth
httle loss of time and money too I,
qualify for voting and to have a par,
In the Waterloo that must ineyltably
overtake and overthrow fraud and all
the supporters OF fraud.
