The increase of the state tax shown in preceding table includes the twelve cents levied for state purposes and the six cents levied for the maintenance of the benevolent institutions, these being the •only taxes that go to the current expenses of the state government. The state school tax (sixteen cents) is all apportioned back to the counties for common school tuition, and is properly a local tax. The increase of the state school tax in 1891 is $752,027.17, and as the enumeration will be substantially the same as last year, (763,207) there will be ninety-five cents per school child distributed to the counties. The local school taxes shor-ld have been decreased to this extent.

As the total increase of taxes is $2,899,232.26, and the total increase of state taxes is $1,230,547.73, there has been an increase of $1,768,734.53 of local taxes, which is distributed as follows:

The law aimed to reach money concealed in banks, but under the recent decision of the supreme court it fails to accomplish that result. The personalty listed is chiefly visible property, 6ucli as merchandise, household goods, cattle, tools, etc. If money could be reached the percentage of personalty would be materially increased and the burdens of other property proportionately decreased.

The total assessment in the forty-sis Republican counties increased from $439,252,270 to" $630.198,313, or $190,946,043. being an advance of 43 per cent..

Forty-Six Democratic Counties Total increase of taxes $1,134,251 42 State taxes increase. 623,792 60

Local taxes increase $ 510,458 82 Of the increase of local taxes in Democratic counties it will be seen that $297,150.92 occurs in Marion county, and $213,291.90 in the remaining forty-five counties. This is largely due to increases by Republican trustees, town boards and school boards in those counties: thus, in Marion county the Republican school board levies $113,014.86 more taxes than last year, besides receiving about $32,000 more from the state school tax—which is the same as increasing local taxes $145,000 in the city of Indianapolis alone.

The valuation has increased more in the Democratic counties than in the Republican counties, and if the whole increase of taxes were due to the law the taxes would increase in the same proportion. It will be observed that the Btate taxes, which are at the same rate everywhere increase in that proportion. Bat the increase of taxes in the Repub

lican counties is actually $747,806.31 greater than in the Democratic counties, which shows conclusively that the law was not responsible for it.

Taking the counties separately, it will be observed that in ten of them (nine Democratic and one Republican) there has been a decrease of the total taxes paid. In five of them (four Democratic and one Republican) the increase on railroads alone is greater than the total increase of taxes paid. In these fifteen counties individuals pay less taxes, in the aggregate, than formerly. In thirty counties (seven Democratic and twentythree Republican) the increase of railroad taxes is greater than the state increase, and in these, if there had been no increase of local taxes, individuals would certainly have paid less taxes than before. This

BIIOWS

the effects of

the increase on railroads alone, there being no convenient mode of ascertaining the increase on other corporations. If the increase on banks, street railroads, mining and manufacturing corporations, etc., could be shown, a number of the other counties would probably present the same result.

A Republican Scheme.

Since 1872, there never has been a time when the legitimate Democratic vote did not outnumber the legitimate Republican vote in Indiana. The fact that the Republicans carried the state in 1880, 1880 ayd 1888, does not prove that there were more Republicans than Democrats in those years. I11 1886 the Democratic party was torn up by dissention in four congressional districts. In 1880 and 1888 the Republicans carried the state by a system of "addition" which, by the expenditure of over $500,000, enough '-floaters," who belong to no party, were induced to add their ballots to the legitimate Republican vote to overbalance the Democratic vote.

This year the Republicans expect to carry Indiana by a process of "subtraction," i. e., by diverting part of the Democratic vote to the "People's party." And they have mapped out the campaign accordingly. Their scheme is to retain their normal vote and decrease the Democratic vote. An over zealous Republican correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal from DeKalb county, uncautiously exposes the scheme in the following correspondence: Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

AUBURN, May 15.—The People's party has polled this county, DeKalb, and claims 1,750 votes. If they have half that many votes cast at the polls the entire Republican county ticket will be elected. There were only 6,221 votes cast in 1888, when the Democrats bad a plurality on the presidential vote of but 281. The People's party draws most heavily from the Democratic ranks.

Evidently The Journal had not been taken into the confidence of the Republican state committee. If it had, it would not have given away Chairman Gowdy's scheme to organize "People's parties" in Democratic counties and let Republican counties alone.

Following Republican Advlo.o.

The first prosecution under the new tax law was filed in Kokorao Saturday morning, and it is likely to be supplemented by a prosecution of perjury, says the Miami County Democrat. Henry Bernard & Son aro extensive junk and hide dealers in Kokomo. When Deputy Assessor ackson called on them to list their property, Benjamin Bernard, a junior partner, gave the value of all hides on hand at $300, his father agreeing that this was a fair estimate. Assessor Coffin was not satisfied with this and made a personal call on the Bernards.

The elder Bernard, after a time, ad mitted that the value of the hides might be $1,000, and upon being pressed expressed a willingness to list them at $2,000. The assessor called in two dis-( interested parties experienced in the hide trade, pnd they appraised the dis puted property at $3,800. Assessor Coffin at once notified the state's attorney and action was brought under Section 55 of the new, tax law, which imposes a penalty of from $50 to $5,000 fine for falsely listing property. Besides this a prosecution for perjury against Henry Bernard, who qualified to the list, may follow.

"Holy" John's Experiments.

The always present administration scandal has temporarily shifted from the pension office to the postoffice department, where Pious John Wanamaker is charged with being interested in a pneumatic tube company, of Philadelphia, to which he has shown especial favor in the way of postoffice contracts, discriminating against other companies, one of which has memorialized congress in the matter. He has been "experimenting" with pneumatic tubes in Philadelphia and St. Louis, though the world knows that the pneumatic system of short-route mail delivery has been in successful operation in numerous European cities for years and that no "experimenting" is necessary. With the knowledge the country has of Wanamaker's connection with the great corruption fund of 1888, with the rotten Keystone bank affair, and the Baltimore ballot-box stuffers, the people are almost ready to believe anything of this hypocritical old fraud.

Republican Tax Conspiracy.

Elsewhere will be found a compilation cf the taxes levied for state and local purposes by counties. It sustains the accusations that the Republican managers conspired with the Republican boards of county commissioners to make the law odious by raising unnecessary revenues. The exact amount of the taxes assessed for 1890 and 1891, the increase or decrease, the amount of increase of state taxes, and the increase of railroad taxes are presented in a tabulated form. The names of the counties having Republican commissioners when the assessments were made are printed in small capitals, and a glance through the table will show that opposite nearly every small capital name there is a heavy increase of local taxes. It happened, curiously enough, that exactly one-half the counties had Republicau commissioners, and one-half Democratic. In the forty-six Republican counties there is a total increase of taxes of $1,865,030.84, of which $606,755.13, or less than one-third, is local taxes. In the fortysix Democratic counties the total increase is only $1,134,251.42, of which $624,792.60 is state taxes, and $510,468.82 local taxes. Of the latter amount it will be noticed that $297,156.92 occurs in Miami county, and $213,291.90 in the other Democratic counties. We shall show hereafter that most, if not all, of this was due to increased levies made by Republican township trustees, town boards, and schepl boards in Democratic counties.

The tax law has nothing to do with the increase of local taxes which are fixed entirely by local officials. The increase of state taxes is slightly greater in tho Democratic counties than in the Republican counties, because the assessment of the former increased more. The increase of assessment in the forty-six Democratic counties was from $418,422,117 in 1890 to $625,057,725 in 1891, or 1206,Cuo,608. In the Republican counties it was from $439,252,270 to $630,198,313, or $190,946,043. if the increase of taxes were due to the law there would, of course, be a ermiter increase of taxes in the Deinoer counties than in the Republican co-.: but in fact they are $730,779.42 less.

In the statement of state taxes the state school tax is not ificluded because it is in fact a local tax. The state does not receive one cent of it, but it is apportioned out to the counties for the support of the schools, and the local school taxes should have been decreased to the same extent that the state school tax was increased. Notification of this was given throughout the state by the superintendent of public instruction before the taxes were levied.

The actual increase of taxes paid by railroads is $987,203.28, having increased from $1,093,936.78 for 1890 to $2,081,140.06 for 1891. The increase of assessment for state purposes is $1,230,547.73, but deducting from this the usual delinquency the amount actually paid would be $1,069,772.23. Of this sum, therefore, the railroads alone will pay all but $82,568.95, and the increase on the other corporations will much more than cover that amount. As to railroad and state taxes the counties divide into four groups.

In the nine Democratic counties of Cass, Clark, Dubois, Franklin, Jackson, Miami, Pike, Scott and Wells, and the Republican county of Steuben, there has been a decrease of total taxes paid.

In the four Democratic counties of Bartholomew, Hancock, Martin and Warrick, and the Republican county of Montgomery, the increase of railroad taxes is greater than the total increase of ta$es, and hence the people pay less.

In the seven Democratic counties of Dearborn, Laporte, Marshall, Owen, Posey, Pulaski and Starke, and in the twenty-three Republican counties of Benton, Fayette, Fountain, Hendricks, Henry, Jasper, Jay, Jennings, Kosciusko. Bakey, Lawrence, Morgan, Newton, Orange, Parke, Porter, Randolph, Rush, Tippecanoe, Union, Vermillion Warren and Wayne, the increase on railroads is greater than the increase of state taxes? and in these there would have been a decrease of total taxes paid by individuals if the local taxes had not been increased.

In the remaining counties the increase on railroads is less than the increased state tax, and as there is no convenient way of ascertaining the increase of taxes on the other corporations, no one can say in how many of them there should have been a decrease of total taxes. The results as to railroads alone, however, are sufficient to demonstrate the excellent character of the law, and to show up the Republican local officials who have needlessly|iaken over $1,500,000 from the pockets of the people of Indiana in order to prejudice them against the new tax law. There is reason to believe that this- was suggested to them by the corporation people who desire the repeal of the law.

Castoria.

Cutoria li an excellent medicine for children. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good effect upon their children."

DR. Q. C. OSGOOD, Lowell, Mass.

Castoria Is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria instead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves."
