“The sugar tariff was repealed and the people rejoice and thank the McKinley Dill for cheaper sugar. "—Republican. Repeal the bounty to the monopolists clause which the people are taxed to make up; give them cheaper sugar in reality, and the people will credit the McKinley bill with one good thing. «O. -«■» • The republican organs are just now engaged in denouncing the new tax law with the same bitterness and venom they displayed toward the hchool-book and election laws of the previous session. They pretend to sympathize with the people in their tax-ridden situaion, forgetting for the moment that the heaviest and most oppressive are those imposed upon them by the McKinley bill. Had the five or six millions in notes, mortgages, etc., belonging to the Bowens of Delphi, been placed on the tax duplicates as they should have been, the taxes of the balance of the tax-payers of Carroll county would have been vastly reduced. We have no doubt there is a large quantity of this kind of property in eve y county in the State that will hereafter be required to pay its just proportion of tax. ■ * —I I The story of the New York drummer, as given by the Lousville Commercial, and joyfully accepted and copied by our neighbor, to the effect that the tariff tax had lessened the cost of goods in his line, and the thanks expressed in the article following to the MoKinley bill for the repeal of the sugar tax and the consequent reduction in the price of sugar, don’t consist. if the removal of the tax on sugar reduced the cost, the increase of the tax on the drummer’s goods undeniably increased their cost. The drummer’s story is simply an April fool yarn. Try again, Brother Marshall. We inv te an attentive perusal of the article on first page of this Sentinel eonceming the new tax law. It is fairly, honestly and correctly presented—nothing misleading in it. If the valuation of property be doubled under the new, and the amount required by the county and township officials be no more than that of last year, then it stands to reason tLafthe tax levy on e»ch one hundred valuation will be but one-half that laid last year—except for state purposes, and this item will be more than offset by the amount and value of property heretofore unassessed that will find its place on thq assessors’ I ooks. Therefore, if the average taxpayer finds his tax increased instead of decreased, let him seek for the cause of the county and townshin officials who make the levy, and hold them responsi ble.
