Think A Moment.


Has any farmer realized that he is paying
about three times as much taxes in 1896 as he
did in 1873, measured in wheat or corn, the
chief products of the county? Then wheat
was over Sl50 bushel, and he could pay
$50 tax bill with twenty bushels of wheat.
This year it would require about sirty bushels
of wheat to pay $50 tax bill, and the wheat
yield of Carroll is not as large now as then.
Fifteen years ago yield of less than thirty
bushels to the acre was not considered worth
publishing, unless the acreage was unusually
large. In 1896 who has obtained an average
of thirty bushels?
Twenty-Five years ago mortgages were
scarcely known in Carroll. Today there are
probably four million Of dollars Of them on
record
Every necessity now is cheaper than ever
before. A dollar will buy more than ever
before. but before this era of cheap goods
farm products had fallen and the farm had to
be mortgaged. In 1873 40 bushels of wheat
would pay the interest on $1,000 mortgage.
In 1896 it takes nearly 40. While goods are
cheaper, the rate Of interest is still sir per
cent.
There has been no oVer-production of
wheat, for the worlds crop in 1895 was less
than that of 1878.
Do you know why this great change since
1873? In brief, it was caused by protective
taxation, gold monometallism and wrong
banking system The ADVOCATE will tell you
all about it as the weeks roll on, and to-day
would call your attention 70 an able article on

tation of foreign pauper labor to compete with
it in the home market, and that the value of
the home market to our American farmers
and artisans is greatly reduced by vicious
monetary system which depresses the prices
of their products below the cost of produc-
ton and thus deprives them of the means OF
purchasing the products of our home manu-
features.
ECONOMY IN PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.
We denounce the profigate waste of the
money wrung from the people by oppressive
taxation and the lavish appropriations of re-
cent Republican Congresses, which have
kept taxes high, while the labor that pays
them is unemployed, products of the peoples
toll are depressed in price till they no longer
repay the cost of production. We demand IL
return to that simplicity and economy which
BELTS Democratic government and reduc-
ton in the number of useless offices, the sala-
ries of which drain the substance of the
people.
PENSIONS
Recognizing the just claims of deserving
Union soldiers, we heartily indorse the rule
of the present commissioner that no names
shall be arbitrarily dropped from the pension
should be deemed conclusive evidence
against disease or disability before enlistment.
CIVIL SERVICE.

service. We favor appointment based npon
merit. fixed terms of office and such an ad-
of the civil service laws as will
afford equal opportunities to all citizens of
ascertained fitness.
