ST. GEORGES ISLAND, Aug. IA, 1897.
Messrs Editors The following adj
dress was delivered on st, Georges Is
land by Mr.. Chas. l.. Rohrecht on the
injustice of the reassessment law. II is
as follows
MY friends and fellow citizens, As
we glance over the history of our State
since the Republican Party has been in
power we see SO much injustice that it
is our duty as honest, patriotic American
citizens to protest against it. Now re-
member that in 1895 the present domi-
nant party promised to give the people
fair assessment law. Did they fulfill
that promise. Did they act the part Of
honest men No, I answer, they did not
They hired a set of men to go about and
assess the laboring class of people not
according to the wealth of the people,
but according to their own selfish wills.
Let US take for instance the land of the
farmers; land that is fertile and in. good
condition. Is that land assessed as the
land of man that has perhaps one acre
of land and little home. No, the land
of the farmer is valued at 8, 10 and l2
dollars an acre. The land of the poor
man is valued at from go to 80 dollars
an acre. Land that Is too poor to grow
black eyed peas is valued at just double
that of good land. Is that just? VIII
the honest, law abiding, sclf-respecting
patriotic citizens Of Maryland tolerate
unfair, unjust Legislation Will they
permit the Democratic principles to be
trampled under foot !: viii they be OPP
pressed by law that taxes the masses
for the benefit of the classes: Will they
permit the fair pages of the statute
books to be stained by law that is not
worth the ink in which il is written I?
Will the people allow the Republicans
to hide behind the financial question,
and thus escape their unmanly record in
the Stare of Maryland. But the people
are not to be deceived by this artful
scheme but will make them stand by
their record. In the platform recently
adopted by the Democratic convention
which assembled in Baltimore we have
the assurance that the assessment law
will be modified. Maryland is going to
redeem herself next November is ia
miliar declaration in Democratic circles.
The people will see the manner in which
they have been treated and turn to the
historic teachings of Jefferson and jack
son. Therefore let US lay aside all par
Ply differences and vote for the prospect
| ~ of the masses and not the classes.
IL we follow the teachings of the Demo
cratic party We shall have new birth
of freedom and government of the peo-
pie, for the people, shall not perish from
| the earth"

three times its natural size. and the
clothing had 20 be cut from Summers
