WHEN REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS HAyL
Co-oPEKATED.
My friends did you know that nearly
every great reform has been accomplished
ny cooperation, anu that nearly every great
crime and conspiracy against humanity has
been accomplished by the cooperation Oh
the enemle, OF the people. Cooperation il
power. When silver was struck down ia
1873 1t was done by the cooperation of TIA,
goldbugs III the Democratic parry and the
goldbugs III the kepublican party. Thos.
L. Bayard (who was then Senator, w.o ha
since been in Cleveland 5 Cabinet and who l.
now Cleveland's EIubassador TO England
and John Sherman were the two leadiul
conspirators in the cooperation. When th,
National Banking act was r. enacted IN 1857
1t was done by the cooperation of the tools
OF monopoly III both the old parties. Sena
tor Ransom co-operated with John Sher
man to do it. When silver was struck
down fSl3 If dana Inv
again Ransom and Sherman headed the coz
81 i 'acy.
These are some of the great crimes against
good government which could not hav.
been accomplished except by cooperation
When the Force Bill WAS before congress, il
was defeated by Senator Stewart and oth,l
retormers co operating with all the men il
the Senate they could find who would OPP
pose it. This is one OF the good things al
ready done by cooperation. If the friends
OF good government want TO beat the enc.
mics OF good government they must do
more cooperating than they have.
In this county those who are opposed to
this Democratic State ring, this Democratic
county ring, this Democratic township ring

boxes, but which has put the hand of par

DO they agree on wiping out the yer,

TAXATION TOO HIGH IN NORTH CAROLINA,
He says that they have lowered taxation
IN North carolina. This is not true. Lis
ten fellow citizens and will tell you how
IL Is They have put the rate of taxation
down low, but they have at the same time
raised the valuation of your property. Sup
pose you had been paying % cents on the
hundred dollars worth of property and then
the Legislature lowers the rate to 20 cents
on the hundred, yet at the same time raise
the valuation on that hundred dollars
worth OF property to $1.5O. Then you would
pay 30 cents tax instead of Is cents on the
same property. Doyou see? This was one
OF Jarvis schemes. How do you like thai
kind of reduction?
am today paying more tax on the same
property than was five years ago This is a
TACT, know it and you know it, and they
cannot fool US about it. Besides your land
would bring less today than it would five
years ago, yet this good Democratic State
government makes you pay more taxes on
