Our Assessment.

The assessors are meeting every day
at the court house and are busily en-
gagged in distributing the blanks which
the taxpayers are supposed to go to the
trouble to make out. When the ques-
ton of blXing the farm land of this
county is being considered by our as
SCISSORS, it would be we'll for them to
bear in mind that Frederick County
has been paying more State tax
than all the Eastern Shore and
Southern Maryland combined. This is
evidently unfair to our people and is
brought about by the high valua-
ton placed upon farm lands by our
assessors. The farm should be regard
ed as an investment, the same as bonds
or stocks. What will the farm yield
and what will the bonds and stocks
yield? If the bond does not pay inter-
est it is not taxed; if the stock is a nom
dividend paying stock, it is not taxed.
Now, then, how about the farm? How
many farmers in this county are re-
'ceiving three per cent upon the invest
ment of farm lands? How many are
running behind every year? If the
farm lands are not paying why should
they be taxed up to high valuation,
whilst the non-interest bearing bond
goes Scott free? Both are Investments,
and one should bear it's just proportion
of taxes the same as the other, or if
neither pays, why not exempt both?
1t is often found that a man wants to
be valued high, so far as his property
is concerned. 1t enables him, so he
thinks, to insure better line of credit,
or may enable him to sell his property
at higher price, or get bigger mort
gage. But these are questions which
should not be considered by the asses
sors. A fair, just valuation upon the
farms and personal property is all they
should consider. Wait until the assess
ment is over. Yet this is what Re
publican Legislature has given the
people.

They are taken away by the disease
which causes over one-sixth of all the
deaths in the world-the disease which
doctors call consumption. There is alb
solutely no reason in the world why
consumption should be fatal-why it
should be even serious. 1t is disease
of the blood, and can be cured abso-
lutely and always by purifying aud en-
riching the blood. The only excep-
ton to this is the case where the dis
ease has been neglected and improp-
erly treated until it is stronger than
the body-until the body has become
so weak as to have lost the ability to
recuperate. DR. Pierce's Golden Med
