LOWER TAXES.

Ill IcceHu lsSue VI tle bELEThAM
We suggested that one of the great ques
tons that ought to concern every voter
In this city is that of a reduction of taxes.
Now that the attention of the voters for
the present will not be directed to tine
liquor question, let every citizen of this
city take step forward in the rank Of
tax reformcrs and see that only those
men are permitted to occupy official
positions in the city, who are found
strnding on the platform Of lower taxes.
The men who own their own homes,
or are trying to do so are entitled to
some help at our hands. They are the
backbone of our city's prosperity. They
stand the heavy burdens of our local
battle for wealth. Then let US see to it
that taxes do not hang like mill stone
about their neck The men who pay
poll taxes in our midst ought at least to
be left sufficient money after paying
taxes to at least pay for one good meal
during the wceN. The merchants are
entitled to some favor, and while high
rents must be paid. they ought at least
to be relieved OF the paying of enor-
nous and outrageous taxes into the city
treasury, Manufacturers should be
given lift in the right direction. Now
then how can we soc to it that the taxes
in our city come down to a respectable
dgure9 Simply by voting right when
our next city election shall occur. We
have men connected with our city gov
eminent who work long hours for the
city, and its welfare but other men about
our streets claim to have found a "New
Discovery" for reducing our taxes.
Now then who will desire any other
thing than to let these same discovers
apply this new method to the govern
ment of our city.
Now then voters of Barre you have
in the years passed kept before the pub
lie the cry of "taxes" "taxes they are
too high" But have you tried to bring
them down. How can you best do it9
By placing only those men in control of
our city affairs who have some know
ledge of such business, and who will
show little commonsense which has
sometimes been found missing in the
councils of the officers OF the old town
and the new city of Barre. Within a
few weeks our annual city election will
hold the boards at the local political
theatre, three aldermen and Mayor are
to be selected by the voters of Barre.
How shall we lower taxes? BY being
Il. The polls on that election day and
placing only such men in Office as will
wear the badge of the tax reform and
who will pledge themselves to the cause
of tax reform, and who will adopt as
their rallying cry "Lower taxes for the
Granite City, The TELEGRAM makes
the assertion that taxes must and will
come down in Barre within the next
year. Watch this prediction. The peo-
plo want it, they will have it,

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10.-Delated pre-
cinct returns continue to indicate that
Nebra ska has turned political somer-
sault and landed in the Republican col
umn. Three hundred and seventeen

publican gain of 4,7S7. If this gan is
maintained, Hayward will carry the
state by over 100000 Figures on legis-
lative candidates are not such as to
make comparisons possible, but show
that they shared equally with governor.
In a few counties which went fusion on
the state ticket the Republican legis-
lative candidates are elected which
makes the claim that the legislature on
Joint ballot is Republican a conserva-
tive one.

Close Election In Illinois.

Chicago, Nov 10-Returns from ev-
cry county in the state indicate the
election Of Whittemore Rep) for
state treasurer, by a plurality of near
ly 10000. The majority for other Re-
publican candidates will probably ex-
coed that for Whittemore. as he was
cut heavily In Cook county. including
Chicago. Enough legislative returns
have been received to show that the
lower house will be Democratic by about
votes and the senate Republican by
about II votes.
In Cook county, aside from congress
men. the entire Republican ticket. with
possibly one or two exceptions. was
elected by pluralities ranging from 5000
to 5000.
In Winnebago county Frank S. Re-
gan CPro.) was elected to the legisla-

New York, Nov. 1O.-The latest re-
turns received on the legislature in
New York state show that the upper
house will consist of 81 Republicans and
90 Democrats. The lower house will be
50 Republicans and 65 Democrats. The
majority on joint ballot will he "a. The
vote in the assembly district of Greene
county is very close, and it may be pos
sble for the soldiers vote to change the
result in that district. At the present
time the indications point to the cleo
ton of Sage (Dem.).
The election of Republican senator
to succeed United States Senator MUIR
ply is assured.
Colonel The odore Roosevelts plurality
for governor, according to the latest re-
turns, is 1888. A remarkably heavy
vote in the rural districts overcame the
big majority rolled up below the Har-
lem. The election districts in New York
city gave Van Wyck for governor, a
plurality Of S22O3. Outside of New York
city Van Wyck carried only five coun-
tles-Albany, Chemung. Erie, Rensse-
laer and Schoharie. Majorites in all
the other counties Of the state brought
Colonel Roosevelt's total plurality up
the state up to 106, 4o5.
A few of the large cities up the state
particularly Albany, Buffalo and Roch-
ester show Republican losses. Other
sections of the state, however, give
gains for the Republican candidates on
the state ticket. Kings county was in
line for Mr.. Van Wyck, with plurality
Of 1858.
Timothy L. Woodruff, for lieutenan'
governor, ran behind Colonel Roosevelt

Columbus, o., Nov. 10.-Additional re-
turns do not materially change the re-
suit announced of over $4,000 Repub-
lcan plurality on the state ticket and
IL Republican to Democratic congress-
men. The Republicans are celebrating
the election Of as many congressman in
what IL known as the "off year" as they
elected at the last presidential election.
while they more than doubled the plu-
rality Of %, 900 for Bushnell for governor
for last year. In the odd years gov
ernor and full state ticket, with men,
bers Of the legislature. are elected ev-
cry two years, while in the alternate or
even years only few minor state off,
GERS, with congressman. are elected, as
was the case Tuesday, but the alternate
or even years commence in four years
with the presidential campaign, so that
the "off year" comes only once in four
years and always two years after the
presidential election.

If congress has the audacity to
pass the 6OO,OOO,OOO bill, together
with the provisions, for rnising
S9o,0oo0.0o0 year in addition to
the taxes now collected-and SEN
ator Teller says it will-then the
people ought to rise in their might
in November and drive the money
power and its agents and tools
from the halls of congress. Such
a preposterous scheme never en-
tered the heads of the Boston and
New York bankers during the days
OF the rebellion. This bill ought
to be an eye-opener to the Ameri-
can people, aud we believe it will.

If Congress desires TO make the
war short and decisive, let it issue
paper money; if it wishes 10 pro-
long the war indefinitely, let it
provide for $500, 100000 in bonds.
Bonds mean dependence upon the
money lender for the wherewith
to carry on the war, and once in
the power of the bondholders the
government will be held there
indefinitely. Paper money means
the government will be self-rellant:
that it will itself provide for the
support of ITS army and its navy,
and at the same time quicken ev-
cry industry Hnd set the idle mil
lions at wolk. With paper money
ana honest taxation this govern
ment could mgiutain million men
IN arms For years and not feel the
burden, SO enormous are the means
OF production. Herein should be
the issue in the congressional cam
paign next fall.
As Col. a. G. Fisk well says:
If instead of voting $4,000, 900
congress had authorized the Sec
retnry of the Treasury TO issue one
billion dollars OF full legal tender
paper money and TO pay out any
portion thereof required by the
President for the purpose of
strengthening our sea coast de-
fences and the Navy, it would have
been n lesson 10 the money power"
Had such n bill passed congress
at the time the Maine was sank
there would have been no war.
Such an act would have frightened
the war completely out OF the
money power and IL would have
said TO Spain, settle your difficult
ties peacefully" and Spain, being
in the clutches of the money power
would have obeyed.

Even il the administration takes
advantage of It's doubtful right to
issue coin bonds under the resump-
tion act, it will be pilloried by the
people. Our battle cry must be

JERRY SIMPSON.

Now | realize the necessity of
adopting measures in this House
that will raise taxes 10 carry on
the war. But | do not realize the
necessity that this nation should
be bonded for that purpose to the
exteN of S6O0,GOO,0Oo. This coun-
try. b my opinion, is not yet in
condition that it needs to adopt
this extraordinary step. Pause
and think for moment Of the diff
ference between this country and
Spain. Here is Spain, n seventh
rate nation, depending on the very
threshold of this struggle upon
borrowed capital and the private
donations of her citizen smore than
5000 miles from her base of sup
plies, unable to vanquish the insur-
gent people in arms in the Island
of Cuba, so few in number and so
poorly organized that this Govern
ment has refused to recognize their
independence or their belligercrt
rights.
In my opinion, this bond issue
is for the purpose OF covering up
the shortcomings of the Dingley
bill.
They complain that now We pro-
pose to offer a substitute for the
proposition to bond the country
proposition to collect taxes from
the wealth of the country through
the agency of an income tax. The
wealth of this country is some
thing sacred-almost as sacred as
the gold reserve. We cannot touch
it, it seems.
! have my suspicious that all
this undue and unseemly haste to
rush this measure through now
under excitement in time of war is
altogether for the purpose of get
ting these bonds saddled upon the
people, to carry out n programme
mapped out some time ngo in the
interest of the money lords of this
and other countries to take advan.
taee Of the people, appealing to
their patriotism to authorize for
war purposes an issue of bonds
the authority for which has been
sought in vain in times OF pence.
We can come to no other conclu-
sion. And let me tell you here to-
night that If the Republican party
succeeds in ssddling that bonded
debt upon the country under these
conditions the people will rise in
their just wrath and Indignation
and sweep you from power in the
next election.
There is another resource of
which We could avail ourselves,
and that is TO meet tho expcndi-
lures tor carrying on the war by
