AL men admit that there is no equality
In the present system, but great deal OF
inc quality. For instance: A man buys q
stock OF merchandise and opens store.
He runs in debt for one. half his stock.
Another with the same CAPITAL buys farm
and pays one half, giving mortgage for
the balance. On April 1st the assessors
come around aud the merchant gives in
bis stock and Offsets the amount be owes
from his stock. The farmer gives in his
whole farm and has no Offset. The mer.
chant pays on what he has, the farmer on
what another man has.
Again, there is unfairness In appraisals.
Some farms are appraised at more than
they will sell for, while others are held at
high figure and taxes ART only levied on
about one third OF their real value.

1t is Mckinley against the field. All
the other candidates have combined to
beat him. They have hard task. He
has long lead in the delegates al
ready elected-more than half OF
them, probably. This will have its
effect on states that are still to elect.
There seems to be deep sentiment
for the Ohio man all over the country,
even where some local candidate is ia
vored with complimentary vote. He
is in many respects the logical candi-
date for the Republican party this
year. The last expression of that
party in legislation on the subject Of the
tariff was the Mckinley bill. McKin-
ley himself did not frame more than a
small part of it, but as chairman of
the Ways and Means committee he
was responsible for it and became its
champion before Congress and the
country. The country passed an I'M
favorable verdict on it in 1872 on ac-
count of the Misrepresentation Of the
Democratic party. The latter came
into power and has failed so miserably
in keeping its promises that the vot-
ers desire the opportunity OF reversing
their decision and going back where
they left off. They argue that mas
much as Mckinley was unjustly CEN
sured then he should be honored now.
1t is the principle as much as the man
that they contend for. Other Repub-
leans are as good protectionists as Nc
Kinley, but he is inseparably connect,
I'd with that issue and has become its
best known representative. While for
many reasons we should prefer Reed,
yet we can give the Ohio man our sim
;ere support and every Republican
viii do likewise if, as now seems
he is the nominee.

the Democracy is plainly shown by
the record of the Rhode Island cleo

the Democrats carried Rhode Island

was the year of the Democratic tidal
