THE NEW LAW.
Its Workings Compared with the Old by
the County Assessor.

Editor of THE CHRONICLE:
| Believing that comparison showing
! the difference in the assessment for 1892
and 1858 under the new law would
prove to be interesting to your many
readers and taxpayers, herewith ap-
pend statement of each yeal g assess
ment:
The assessment on agricultural lands
for 1893 shows a decrease in value of
fifty cents on the acre compared with
the '92 assessment; but in round num-
bers gain of 500. .144 on whole amount of
agricultural lands, there being gain of
1892 acres over the preceding years
assessment. Average per acre for '92,
$5.72; for '93, 1922
Town lots show decrease in value of
$43 ,05S for 1913.
Military road lands show decrease
in value of S50,765, on account of being
declared government lands and not SUBJ
ject to taxation.
Improvements show decrease of
SOC, ,213
Merchandise and implements show a
decrease in value of $37, JAP.
Money, notes and accounts show de-
crease of $544, ,444. Mortgage notes were
included in this item in the '92 assess
ment, which were not in the 1913.
Household furniture shows an in
crease in this years assessment of $14,-
O4S.
Horses show decrease in value of
$66,595. Average for '92. $23.12 per
head for '93, $l7.44.
Cattle show decrease in valne of $685.
924. Average for '92, $12.12; for '93,
$10.27.
Sheep show gain in number of 25,-
055 for ,'93, but loss in value of $14, ,248.
Average for '92, $2.O4 per head for '93,
$1.54.
Swine show an increase in numb ber,
but a decrease in value of 1897. Aver
age for '92, $3.46 per head; for '93, 81. SO.
| Thus it will be seen by comparison of
the two assessments, that while the
values of all property show lower valu-
alton for 1898, the taxable property for
the same year shows a gain of about
$100, 700. 1t should also be borne in
mind that the property represented by
mortgage notes on the '92 assessment
were very few collected on, while under
the present assessment it can all be col
| lected.
The new law of not assessing. mort
gage notes and allowing no deduction
for Indebtedness does not make the
difference in the amount of taxable
property, as a great many think it
should, as what is gained in the new
law by not allowing deduction for in
| debtedness, is lost in rot assessing
credits or the mortgage notes.
In order to reduce it to more simple
problem we will take for example Mr..
A. and B.'s assessment under the old
law. Each own a piece of property
valued at $1,000. A. gives in his prop
erty at $4,000 but owes B. 81 900 and
gets reduction for it, leaving his taxa
BILE property at $1,000. B. gives in his
property at $4,000, note against A. for
81 900, which makes the total of both
81 1000. Under the new law they are
both assessed at $1,000. Each total
footing up $4,000, as before, and as a
natural consequence in most cases MI
A. blames the county assessor.
J. 6. KooNTz.
I would like to add postscript to the
above, stating that the assessor has no
say in the levying of either state, county,
school or city taxes and is therefore not
responsible for the present high taxes.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

THAT there is disgust among Dem
ocrats all over this land is the plain
truth.
That every election since the for
nation of the Cleveland cabinet has
been a rebuke to the present admin
istratiou, is the plain truth.
That the condition of the Demo
cratic party grows continually
worse instead of better is the plain
truth.
That unless there is radical
change in the policy of the Demo
crotic party it will suffer overwhelm-
ing defeat at the next presidential
election is the plain truth,
What is to be done?
Are we to sit in sullen silence,
and stagger to our feet when it is
everlastingly too late? or shall we
rise as men of reason and enter our
solemn protest against a policy
which has been only folly from the
beginning, and which the Demo
cratic party never subscribed to2
A government of the people
comes of necessity through political
parties. Mr.. Cleveland has re-
uounced this fundamental principle
and adopted the heresy of the mug
wump--the political hermaphra-
dite that seeks spoils under all adj
ministrations and pays party taxes
under none.
These are the unnatural hybrids
Mr. Cleveland recognizes as worthless
and honors with Office for shirking
the duties of citizenship,
Disappointment, generalization
and universal disgust is the natural
result. The telegraph from the
headquarters of Coxey's army of
ragamuflins daily tells the world of
our humiliation.
What are we going to do about it2
''Were it as easy to do as to say
what were well to do, . our task
would be lighter, but what were
well do to is no slight task itself,
Here are two tasks in one, and each
a matter of deepest concern.
Let Democrats stand up for the
Democratic party and disavow re-
sponsibility for the administration
Let Democrats stand up for Dem
cratic principles as defined in the
national Democratic platform.
Let Democrats stand up for
equality of gold and silverbefore the
lava like treatment of both by
the government, and for a tariff for
revenue only.
Then let Democrats declare that
those who are not for us are against
us, and those who do not subscribe
to this definition of Democracy are
not Democrats,
This is a duty which the Arkan-
sas Democracy owes to itself, to the
national Democracy and to suffer-
ing humanity, whose only hope is

Freedom, tell you. for three days. It's

eyes as we'll as Gordon's.

for four days. You must give US some"
"You can get as much as you want at the
post. Schemyl must keep his prisoners
alive till the patrol comes round to collect
them. Why should ! shorten my term Of
freedom to prolong yours!"
Gordon looked at me. "Shall we give our
selves up" his eyes asked, and mine an
swering "Yes. " he held out his hand TO me
and said:
"Come"
II AM afraid you are leaving with bad
opinion of me-" said Ivan Dontemember
as l rose. That's the worst Of being per

"It's rather q high price-a ruble a loaf,
pretty nearly half q crown Of your money
but these poor government officials must

without a word Gordon snstched . note
