Woolmau says that the tax OF the
county ~ 1892 wns '25' per cent hiRhar
than the tax OF 1891 and would have his
readers infer from this thut the old debt
ot the county had not been decreased
my during the last year. The tax Of
1892 was some higher thnn the tax OF
1891, but Ws,olnsn has the difference
only ahou' 8 PER cent. more than it uctu.

ever to do with the question as to whtth-
er the county dent has he-n decreased

these figures aud he Cad not successfully
do no, for tho records show them To- be
correct, but he IL still attempting TO
leave the impression on tho minds OF
his readers that, the deht Of tho county
has not been decreased during the past
two years II the county has paid all OF
it's running expenses during tho years
1892 and 1893 and also pad part o. tho
old debt uf former years, even Wonlmnn
ought to be able to understand that the
debt OF the county had been decreased
The tax levy for ls92 was higher than
that OF 1891. There was the Worlds
Far levy which we did not have IN 1891
and then the levy for interest ou bonds
was necessarily raised some ~ at tho
time Of the levy most Of the old debt had
been converted into bonds ard IL re-
quired more money than the previous
year to pay tho Interest. Tho levy tor

In last weeks issue ot the M-ll Wool.
mat says: "Painter told you last week
IN his paper that the total tax Tor 1892
was $40. .7l0 0I aud told who paid 1t. That
is not what the people waut to know"
We were well aware that Mr.. Woolman
and some Of the populist leaders did not
want the people to know who paid this
tax loi such knoale,igs would interfere
very materially si'h their plan Of cam-
paigning 1t would prevent them from
leaving the impres.ion on the minds Of
the voters, by insiuustion and otherwise,
that the great bulk OF the Indebtedness
of tho county must bc paid by the resi-.
dent farmers. We notice thai, since the
publication Of those figures IN tho HEa.
AID, the populist explanation of how
msuy bushels Of wheat must be raised
by each farmer in the county to pa, uff
the Indebtedness Of the county, has not
been heard from aud we art not sur
priecd IN the lcast that Bro. Wooiman
was not satisfied with the publication Of
those figures. He says tho people wnnt
to know what has been done with the
tax Of 1892. In keeping with his style
OF campaigning, no no douLt asks this
question with view to leaving the i'm
preston on tho minds Of some Of The
voters that the county has been robbed
by tho present county officers. Mr..
woolmnn knows very well TINT the
county records nccoun, for every dollar
OF this money aud, II be honestly believed
that tho county officers had ieffauded
tho county out Of any Of thn money, hs
would have appealed 10 the records and,
II he discovered anything Of the kind,
would have kept 1t standing in box chr
