The County Statement.

The annual statement of the receipts and
expenses of Carroll county for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1897, will be found on the
fourth page OF this issue.
Every tax payer should read it and learn
how the public money is spent. Carroll eoun-
~ still has the lowest tax rate in the state,
but it could be less but for the reform(?)
election and registration law, and the expen
: siye assessment law.
~ A glance at the statement shows that cleo
ton and registration officers last year cost
So, 423. 20, and the board Of supervisors OF
election cost 81, 1859 total Of $3,829.65.
the assessors alone cost s10,S44 S8. The
cost for books, advertising and printing, and
per diem of the board of control and review
and clerk will bring the cost to nearly or quite
$4,000
Think of these facts and then consider what
advantage has the new assessment been and
what benefit has resulted from the change in
the registration and election law.
Another Republican legislature, with its
alleged reforms, may make another increase
in the tax rate necessary.
Before the Republican victory in 1895 the
county tax rate was AZ cents on the 800.
Last year it was 40 and this year it is 45.
If Taxpayers like this kind of reform they
should vote the Republican ticket next month.

Malster,s violated pledges.

Turn to the first page and read the article
under the above caption. 1t treats of the
broken promises of the Master machine in
Baltimore as to putting colored men on the
legislative tickets.
The machine would have kept its faith
with the colored voters, but the S,m and Ne,cs
both protested that the nomination of colored
men for the legislature would be fatal to Re-
publican success.
The News said to inject the race issue in
the campaign would be an illconsidered
move, and the SIN said the time had not ar
rived when the nomination of colored men
could be made with safety to the party, thus
intimating that after the Republicans became
further intrenched in power they could NTH
safety put colored men on their tickets.

A Pointer.

When the working man who gets dollar
and a quarter day now for his labor, the
same as he got under the Wilson bill, goes to
the stores and finds that he gets only II
pounds of sugar now for dollar instead of
% then; that he gets 10 pounds less of -four
for dollar; that the few nails and glass he
needs to patch up with to keep out winter
winds have gone up in price; when he reads
the advertisements in the newspapers and
learns that blankets and wool clothing and
shoes have increased in price, and he finds
that his dollar and quarter don't go around
like it used to, he is very apt to put his think
ing cap, and wonder what prosperity really is,
and who it really benefits. When he once
stops to think he is lost to the Republican
party forever.
