DEMOCRATIC SCHEME EXPOSED
Trying to Fool the Farmers by Mis-
statement of Facts.

One of the arguments upon which
Democratic stump speakers this fall
will largely depend to capture unthink-
ing voters has been disclosed through
some boasting remarks of Democratic
State Chairman Greasy. Its first out
cropping was at the meeting OF the
Mexican county Democrats. At that
meeting the resolutions adopted made
the following declaration:
THE auditor generals report OF the
state of PENNSYLVANIA shows that the
farmers and home owners pay $3.50 in
taxes for each $1,000 in value, while the
steam railroads pay but $2.75, the street
railroads but S475, and telegraph and
telephone companies but $500"
The statement is absolutely false in
every particular. 1t is an attempt OF
the Democrats to excuse their own
wretched shortcomings on the matter
of taxation when they were in power.
Republicans will not be deceived by
this trick and subterfuge when they
consider the deception, as exposed by
the Philadelphia Press, which says:
''There Is no state tax on real estate,
as everybody should know by this time.
since Ii was wiped out almost forty
years ago. There is no state tax on
trades and occupations. or on horses
and cattle or on household furniture.
all such taxes having been repealed

years ago so far as the state Is con-
cerned. Wherever taxes of this kind
are imposed 1T is a local matter. The
tax on real estate paid by the farmers
and home owners is fixed by the local
authorities and raised only for local
purposes. If it is burdensome it is the
fault Of the county, borough or city
authorities, for the state has absolute
ly nothing to do with it. 1t Is not a
subject for legislation at Harrisburg,
as the Mexican Democrats want to pre-
| tend
THE state gets the bulk of it's reve-
nues from tax on corporations in vari-
Gus forms, and though 1t is complained
| that the corporations are not taxed
| enough the state revenues have been
| so large for many years as to support
| the policy, long since adopted, of re-
| turning large amounts to the counties
as means of relieving the local bur-
| dens of taxation. This policy has been
| greatly enlarged in the past dozen
years, and with the present overflow
ing state treasury there is very certain
to be clamor before the next legis-
lature for still more liberality in that
direction. Without counting what the
state has surrendered by the remission
of taxes on real estate it is paying to
the counties from $l0.000,000 to $12,000-
600 annually. This is in the form of
returns of three-fourths OF the per-
sonal property tax, school appropria-
tions, the payment of judges salaries
and charities, together with some lesser
items.
Now let us see what kind of a griev-
ance Mexican county has against the
state. The auditor general went to the
trouble in 1897 to prepare some tables
showing the amount paid the state by
each county and that returned to each
county by the state. These tables show
that there was paid into the state
treasury by Mexican county in that
year $l9,35S.SS. There was returned to
the county on account of personal
property tax, judges salary and schools
alone $43,5S9.93, to say nothing of ap-
propriations to charities. BY charging
the county with It's proportion of state
expenses and hospital and charitable
appropriations the auditor general
makes the benefits received by 1t
amount to $92, ,445.14, as against $19,35S.-
SS received from the county. But we
have been content to take the direct
payments, which show that the county
received more than twice what it paid.
THE figures for Mexican county are
not exceptional, They are proportion
ately the same for all the counties. The
money Is collected from corporations
and paid over to the counties to relieve
the local burdens of taxation. If the
farmers and home owners in any
county are taxed too much let them
look into their local administration and
seek relief there. The state does not
impose penny of tax on them"

II has always been the cardinal princi-
pie of the Great Quaker Physicians life
to do the greatest amount of good to the
greatest number of people. He has real
lied that during the past few months
! many people in Scranton have been suf-
fcring from financial depression owing TO
the existing labor conditions. Hum
drcds of people have asked to be treated
| at reduced rate. They have stated that
their financial condition was such that It
would be impossible for them to pay the
ordinary fee charged by physicians.

their utmost capacity His practice I'm

Hundreds of hopeessly sick have been
restored to perfect health and his name
is household word throughout the state

does not mean $1,000 a month. but $1,000
for complete and radical cure.
He Furthermore agrees that If the pa
tent is not completely cured In speci-
fled length of time, to return the money
paid without any quibbllng or evasion; in
other words. 1t will not cost the patient
one cent unless a cure Is effected.
Doctor Byers wishes to emphasize
the fact that this offer may be with
drawn at any time, and in order to
get the benefit of it, it is important
to call at once. His practice is so
large that it will be impossible for
him to continue this offer indefinitely.
If you call now you will receive the
most careful and scientific X-Ray ex-
animation known to science, free Of
