DEMOCRATIC EQUAL
TAXATION. :

If the argument that the Constitution adj
vances this week, is a specimen of the Re-
publican position on the Equal Taxation
proposition, that party is, indeed, in sorry
plight on this great, living issue-Equal
Taxation Of railroad with other property.
The main stem Of railroads is improved
real estate of the highest earning value.
At the valuation OF the State Board Of
Assessors body composed Of friends Of
the railroads, this property is valued at
$21, 019 per mile. In Gloucester county
their are over 50 miles of such road, valued
at 81, SIG, sos, yet the Constitution, in its
effort to belittle the great question, re-
duces this property to acres, 595i, and
values it at the same rate as farm land
SOL per acre and then proceeds to show
that this county would lose by taxing rail
road properly at the same rate as that OF
the eli tizen Of flesh and blood.
With JUST as much propriety Newton
Hotel corner, in this city, might be asses
sed as farm land, as the main stem of the
railroads OF New Jersey. Railroads pay
the highest salaries of any corporations,
they pay interest on bonds and stock rang
ing from 6 to 10 per cent, and they
annually contribute large sums of money to
eject Republican Presidents, Governors,
Senators and Assemblymen What owner
of farm land in this State can pay to him
self 6 to 10 per cent interest on the cost Of
his farm, labor repairs and Improvements,
and pay himself and the family that aid
him, a decent salary for his labor, to say
nothing of contributions to campaign funds.
The CONSTITUTIONS plea to let well enough
alone must be Disappointing to many Of
lis readers who would like to vote for Mr..
Stokes for the reason that he is the alleged
nominee of the Republican. party for Cover
nor But they have reasoning faculties if
Editor Albright has none except as the
& Avis, allow him to have. They know
that if the main stem of the Pennsylvania
railroad lines in Gloucester county is
valued at 81, 616, Cos now, Tor $21, 018 per
mile) it will not decrease in value to $51
per acre in night. They know that if
this county receives, indirectly, S14, 500 for
schools on an assessment Of S. per $1,000,
there will be no loss Of income on an assess
ment of $3.50, which is the average assess
ment in this county.
For the reputation of the newspaper
profession for truth and veracity, we regret
that Editor Albright has made such q
pittiabIe party defense If it has nothing
else to offer, every voter of this county,
Democrat Republican, Prohibitionist and
Socialist, should as one man join the ranks
of the Democracy and give Mr.. Black and
Legislators who will support this issue a
unanimous election, to the end that, with
out more ado, the principle that all prom
erty bear equally the burdens of taxation
should be yindicated.

The Democratic party charges the Re-
publican Legislators and Executive with
maintaining a tariff which burdens the
people and takes the money of the indus
trial and agricultural masses to enrich the
manufacturers.
The Republican party admits that the
tariff needs revision and asks that it be
permitted to correct it during the next
four years.
The Democratic party points to the prom

When the New York Ship building plant
was first established high hopes were en-
tertained that it was to be boon to every
material interest in this section of the state.
And it was all the most sanguine anticipat-
ed. There was perfect influx of mechan
les, draughtsmen, architects, engineers
and skilled workmen from every section of
the United States. Vacant houses in Cam
den, Gloucester, Woodbury., Haddontield
and adjacent small towns were filled up,
and there was pressure for more. Wood
bury real estate agents were urging lot
owners to build more houses to meet the
demand Within the past two years this
demand has been falling off and now one
rarely hears of it. Why?
For an answer, go to the gates of this
great plant in the morning or evening hour
and you will discover. From four to five
thousand men employed there two years
ago, the number has dwindled to one half
that number. Why?
Two years ago this plant figured for gov
ernment contracts, and was lowest bidders
for two battle ships Before the contracts
were awarded, the plans were slightly
changed and Cramps were awarded the
contracts. Late President Morse of the
works went post-haste to Washington and
raised such a row that he was given one
ship He took half loaf as better than no
bread His reason for the loss of the con
tracts was, that Loudenslager got one and
he got one-Cramps got one of the ships,
the New York Ship yard, our home enter
prise, is not building the ship that Loud
enslager got, but Cramps are.
Result, $4,ooo,000 that ought have kept
these works going full handed for two years,
and large. portion of il expended in this
district, enlivening business Of merchants,
filling our houses, in fact on incentive to
enterprise, has gone to another state
If Pennsylvania wants a tricky Congress
man, let them take Loudenslager, but this
district is big enough and populous enough
and intelligent enough to have a represent
alive Of its own. The only question is, is
it patriotic enough to demand one.
