The board, with the usual sapi-

who seldom handle plow. but
get their livings from their "pro-

might destroy the revenues of

flee of government, and that wher
government does not confer thi,
security it fails of its chief design. >
The Colonel said: "Here is tn,
cornerstone of the supreme law of
our state. Will this petty court
dare disobey it! Even if that law
were never written in Il book of
human laws, who is there to say
that the humblest man, woman or
child in this free country, who is
guiltless of crime, shall not have
life or liberty or the enjoyment of
the gains of his or her own indus
try, governmental or no government!
For 1t Is the voice of God speak
ing thru this mandate of our peo-
pie, that the natural right, given
| by Him to His creatures, shall not
be taken from His creatures bv
human enactment. No, no power
of government in this state or in
the world, can deprive a human
being of this right by any sophlsm.
The empty sounds of officialism
and party, the waving of flags and
beating of drums and cries of pat
riotism, prosperity, trade, silver or
gold and the like, cannot serve to
satisfy a people who are deprived
of their God-given birthright by
baubles. Government NAV take
this right from its people by force,
never by justice-and it is time to
expose the cheat that it is not thru
any virtue, that by overwhelming
power that the hard earnings of
submissive, because unthinking,
people are stolen from them day
by day, and year by year. while to
distract them from the every dav
robbery of themselves, it manu-
factures foreign wars and treaties
and policies to divert their home
victims from home troubles"

y OF TAXATION.
From the Perry Entrrnrisn.

The Rails county board of equal

somnOlent complacency on the
second of this month by the appear
ance before it of Hon. Richard
Dalton, of Saverton, accompanied
by Mr.. McCann of The Taxpayer,
as counsel, with q demand that up
set all their preconceived ideas of
how American citizens ought to be
governed" by the officials who
are paid to administer the law they
are sworn to administer, and metc
out justice to those who are not in
Office as well as those who are. The
demand speaks for itself. 1t is
that of free American citizen who
cares very little for the ancient
mummeries of so-called authority.
and very dearly for his rights un-
der the modern supreme law of his
state. 1t is copied in substance as
follows:
