One week from Tuesday will occur the {treat battle of ballots in till* tJnlted States. The democrats present to you that great statesman. Grovey Cleveland, wl)oju Chauncey M. Dopow, the man who placed Harriaon in nomination at Minneapolis, (fears is the greatest statesman now living. Grover Cleveland was called by tho people of every section5 to lead kthc people on to victory and reform. ®Qur state ticket is headed by the matchless Claude Matthews, tinfarmer statesman, and one of the most brilliant men in the stale today \Tliey are able gentlemen and have been tried and not found wanting in an official capacity. They are clear and pare gentlemen of whom not a single charge lias been made against their official capacity. For congress wo havo our fellow townsman, lion. Arthur II. Taylor, a man who is known Uy every person in the district. He is one of the best qualified men for Hint position that can be found in the district. He is a man of rare attainments, and if electee^ and be surely will be, he will bo an honor to his district, county and town. He has Jived in Petersburg fora number of years and should re- * ceive tho support of every person who has city and county pride at heart When you go to tho polls you should not fa!) to look out lor your county’s interests and vole for Jfr. Taylor. For prosecuting attorney we have m.W- & Cox, one of the ablest ryers in the district and who will in efficient officeholder. The ticket is headed by Dr. David the gallant drummer boy, for itatlve. Tho doctor is known Pike county as a man of iness qualifications, and wilt forkei in the interests of the legislative halls and an j county from which he irles Holton, for slierof ability and enthe necessary qua)to make the l should

o'dmup to which the people him two year* ago. He has number one official. Levi I. for recorder, is the right man in right place. is a good schflar be of .he idand a splendid pensman, and will able to keep a splendid record the rpal estate transactions of all people. He is a man somewhat yaneed in years, but for all that will make a splendid and careftil official For county assessor we have on our ticket the old veteran of two wars, Cap!. Sasser Sullivan, who will make a splendid official in that capacity, being well versed in the worth of real estate and other properties. For surveyor, we present to you, Jositih Morton, jr., who la not a novice ill that line of work, having served in that capacity for a number of years, and is knowings a skilful! and competent civil engjuW. For coroner, the democrats place before you, William Thornes as their candidate, and who will make a irood officer In that position. And last, and of the most importance to the people of the county is that of commissioners. The democrats present to the yoters for those positions William J. Abbot and Jwhn Duckworth, able and honest gentlemen, who have been tried by the people of their respective townships an officials before. As county commissioners these gentlemen who are well qualified and have had much experience in dealing with all kinds of people will prove themselves of much benefit to their cpuuty and the eitixens at large. They are industrious farmers, who, by their thrift gitd enterprise., as shown by their works will be master heads at the head of the county’s affairs. They are nicu who will look to the interests of the people, and keep the expenses and taxes as low as it is in their power. Vote for them. Take the whole list Mr. Reader of The Democrat, aud you will see ihat the democrats of Nation, State and County have placed before you a splendid ticket for your suffrages; op the 8th day of November. Mon whose names have never been besmeared by calumny, but who have always lived upright lives with the best Interests of tho Peoplo always at heart. Every man an honest man; every msin an upright man; every man for the best interests of his fel-low-man ; every man working for the interests of the nation, state and county of man and the industrial pursuits ; every man worthy the suffrage of his fellow-man for the offloo for which he aspires. Fellow voters, when you go to the polls ono week from next Tuesday, remember what and for whom you are voting. If you think tho democrats will belter -nibaerve your Interests voto for them and work with a will for their election.

Tins is not the election to throw away your franchise in voting for ■iome new party or new men. This great conutry has been fostered and oared for, by the two great parties now-fighting for supremacy. Neither is an unhewn quantity, but one Interested In the future of our great nation. The democratic party has been fighting for the pcople-the working masses—as against class legislation. Tito democratic party believes in a tariff tor revenue only, and believes in placing that tariff where it will ] least affect the farmer and laborer, ft believes in good and honest currency, which is worth as much to-day as it will be to-morrow or any future time. It believes in a puro and free ballot, such as we have in Indiana, and without tho influence of a Force Still or federal officers. It believes that the rich should bear the burden with the poorr This Is what the democratic party believes in to a dot. Every man who will honestly read and ponder over these questions can not conscientiously voto for any other man than Grover Cleveland at the polls on November 8th. Independent voters givo these questions a thought and then cast your ballot in favo r of Cleveland and tariff reform.

Col. East, candidate on the poopie’s party ticket for lloutenant-gov-cruor, loft the impression among the people white in this county last week that the peoples party cast neatly 100,000 voles in Georgia, when in fact they only cast a tew over 0,000. It is not always best to tell a lie about election matters for they are easily caught. Democrats don’t be fooled into voting for any third or fourth party ticket. Do not mutilate your ticket In any tnanuer, but simply tske the stamp and place it in the square containing tire rooster and the work is done. When that s done fold np the ticket carefully so that the initials ot the pol ing clc-kwill be on the outside, anddiatul it to tho inspector. "Ir you staying at said a rep may know I home. Thl beat this i Go t» the every voter hear of any democrat home on election day,* ubitean candidate, “you 10 has been paid to slay at is the only way wo can (ernal Australian law."

Snu at Large Oct. 24,1892. Ed. Dimmikbat—Sinse I writ mi last epistle to the g. o. p. I hav continued ml perambulashuus and obser* vashnns until this late date, aud by feeling the perlitikal pulse of a great many wise men of our side of the bouse I her bout mado up mi miud that wo are iu rather deep mud, and thet is rather sticky too. In the first plase our timber for nashunal and state kandydates wuz rather poor stufT, which wuddeut stand up under the terrible fusillade which had been fired at them by you dimmikrat fellers, Their records are gainst them in big proportions. I sene by your paper where there had been iver so many leading men of our parly joined yourn in the fight for the people. I never soiie enny of that in tho Press, the paper wo hev bin swariug by for yores. Sumlime ago in the Press there wuz an artikle that Gen. Sickles would vote for Harrison, and we old republickans bed a gud time rejoicing bout it, but all our high hopes were knocked intu the mighty past by his speech in yer paper last weke. We had counted on him delivering the vote of New York to Mr. Harrison in persun, but he wont du it. And when men like John Ovcrmyer, who wuz once our state chairman, says he hez etiuff, likewise Gresham, MacVoigh, Cooley and Cox, then there Is sum trouble in store for us. I am sure that Indiana and Now York will vole fer Cleveland and Stevenson, but wo will try aud hole ontn Pennsylvania—an^ Ohio. Yu fellers can’t styal ’em frnm us. They belong iu u< bl execution. V But I must close on state and nanjiun and get onlu our own soil whar I am better posted on llio topteks under considerashfin. Kuowin thet I bed but two weeks tu make them trips intu cohe township before the elkckshun I hev bin going idle and day and I hov bin over once and a half. Bi a kareful survey of the true innardness of the things tu date fer the life of me I kant see where we hev tho ghost uf a show. Ot course we aint the best organized we ever were, fer our chairman is no gnd. He is after oflis lilsself, and not getting any uoraioashun lie is wurklng fur depnlyships of any kind. We boys in tho country think ho hez hed enuff and shud come off fer a littie while at least. We arc gltting tired of it. Eu another thing wo are pretty tired of Dr. William Jackson Bethel) holding offis all the time. We don’t mind it once in awhile, but when it dims tu all llie time we get tired, very, We, I mciie ns boys frtim the country, are tired of two or three of th»m Petersburg fellers miming the whole republican party. We, us fellers from (he country, are sum peauuts ourselves, and want a little buiuthing to say about how, when, who and whal, Jfcc. We are voters and know how tu skratch a little and we are goln tu do it. We will not vote fer anyone who Is iu favor of the little few who try ter run the hole shebang.

Lets brake up the ring; we hev got euuff of it. We, us fellers from the country, know a thing er two bout polytioks, en hev bin on the sentral kommitty at different timm. We run tilings then in gud shape, but the last few yeres it hez bin different, oause they want offls and are not looking after the people's interest, see.

Agin, I want to say something about the taxes of the county. I sene in your paper a big artikle bout taxes, mid wanting to know sumthing bout it I wont to tho kourt house Saturday to see bout it.

The voter enters the room, tells the poll clerks his name; the clerks give him the two ballots to be voted and a stamp; (the stamp is a little stick with a rubber ou the end ol it;) the voter goes alone into one of the booths with the two ballots and the stamp; In the booth on t little shell ho will And an ink pad;(thts a cloth saturated with ink;) the voter touches the ink pad with the stamp and then stamps the ballots. Let the ballots dry betore folding. 4. After stamping his ballots and the ink has become dry, the voter then folds each ballot separately before leaving the bo- th; ho must fold them so that no ono can see how he has voted, and so that the initial' or first letters of the polls clerk’s name can Hie seen on the backs of the ballots; he then goes and gives the stamp back to the clerkand bands tiie two ballots to the inspector; then he leaves the room. 6.

to Catch •In OoiRs or Coming. The advocate of the American system of tariff spoliation has occasion to address now one class of people and now another. In doing this he is forever contradicting himself, and apparently never finding oat that he is in any way inconsistent. He has occasion at one time to address the victims of the system—consumers who, in their other character of producers, are not and can not be benefited by taxes on imported articles of any kind. To these victims the versatile advocate says: “The tariff is not a tax. It adds nothing to the price of anything you bny, whether it he imported or produced at home. On the contrary, it cheapens the things you have to buy.” The organ of the American Protective Tariff league addresses the victims in substantially these words in every issue, and illustrates its assertion with singularly logical and convincing pictures of blankets, dresses, ooats, kegs of nails, barrels of salt and so on without end.

But presently the versatile advocate has occasion to address the sheep fanner, and to him he says: “The tariff gives you a higher price for your wool.” And again ho has occasion to address the factory operatives, and to them he says: “The tariff raises the prices of the goods you help produce, and so gives you higher wages than you would get without the tariff.” He gives them to understand that it is the tariff that makes wages in this country higher than in other countries. Thus the tariff advocate tells the working people in the protected- industries that but for the tariff “the American manufacturer would have to furnish goods at as low a price as his foreign rival.” But he can not do that and pay present wages, because he can not manufacture as cheaply as his foreign rival, who pays lower wages. “To lower his prices he would have to cut down wages.” That is to say, the tariff makes wages higher here by making prices higher here. By making prices higher, and in no other way, the tariff enables the manufacturer to pay the higher cost of production due to higher ,wages. Addressing an audience of still another kind, our versatile advocate asserts not that the tariff reduces the prices of the tariffed articles, not that it raises wages by raising prices, but that the xqpnufactnring capitalist needs protection because he must pay higher wages in this country, and if we shouldn’t protect him he would have to shut down and discharge his employes and general prostration and ruin would ensue. Here the assumption is not that the tariff raises wages, but that the scale of wages in this country is high from some other cause or eauses, and that the government must help him to exact high prices or calamitous consequences will ensue. Now the versatile advocate can not be right in all these positions. Either tariff taxes raise prices or they do not. They can not do both at the same time with respect to the same thing. Which do they do ? Is it not reasonable to suppose that a tax laid on an imported article makes it oome higher to the consumer? Is it not reasonable to suppose t^atif the imported article is made dearer the domestic article of the same kind will ho made dearer? Is any other supposition reasonable? Is it possible to reconcile any other supposition with the fact that the home producer always welcomes a higher tax and always protests ageinst any lower tax in the competing article when imported? It certainly is not. When our advocate asserts two contrary effects of the tariff we are at liberty to hold him to the most reasonable and likely. We accept his assertion that the tariff does raise rather that the contrary assertion. Having pinned him down to that, we demand to know what wisdom or what justice there is in compelling the mqss of the people to pay extortionate prices in order that a few, comparatively, may carry on unprofitable works or make exorbitant profits. To this twofold question, which is the whole tariff question in a nutshell, no satisfactory answer ever has been or can be made by the opponents of commercial or industrial liberty.—Chicago Herald. A Republican Paradox. Republicans claim that tljeir pet articles of faith are protection and a dollar which will pass current throughout the world, says the Kansas City Times. As gold is the chief standard among the nations their statement maybe fairly interpreted to mean a gold dollar. Democrats on the other hand believe that silver can he used as a medium of sxohange throughout the world without loss. Did Democrats believe that silver money would depreciate they would oppose it because their plan at commerce includes other nations. Protectionists favor in theory the home market. They approve Of high tariff walls which shall dint out foreign trade. Curiously enough they would confine commerce within continental boundaries, and yet their currency views are made to depend upon the notion of European powers. There is a seeming paradox in these two claims of the Republicans. They believe that a legal tender act would maintain silver coins at par in the western hemisphere, yet they fear depreciation in Europe while deprecating any efforts to trade there." Speaking of monopolies it is said that a certain man has secured the bootblacking privilege at the world’s fair fur f33,000. _ THE OLD AND THE NEW.

(To Chance in the Tax lav Relative to Real estate Assessment* Much has been said about the increase of taxes on real estate on accqnnt of the new tax law. It is true that the assessment of real estate throughout the state was increased, but the law did not do it With the exception of six words the section in the new law relating to the assessment of real estate is similar to the old law. The provision of the new law reads as follows: Real property shall be valued by the assessor as follows: uands aud the improvements and buildings thereon, or affixed thereto shall be valued at their full, true cash value, estimated at the price they would bring at a fair, voluntary private sale [not a forced or sheriff’s sale] ijfing Into consideration the fertility of the! soil, the vicinity of the same to railroads, inhfe, adanvlzed roads, clay roads, gravel roads and turnpike roads, state or county roads, cities, towns, villages, navigable rivers, ■ ' the vi

Following is-the provision of the old taw in the assessment o£ loads: Real property shall be valued by the assessor as follows: Lands and the improvements and buildings thereon or affixed thereto shall he valued at their full fair cash value, estimated at the price they would bring at a fair voluntary sale, taking into consideration the fertility of the soil, the vicinity of the same to railroads, macadamised roads, day roads, gravel roads, turnpike roads, state or county roads, cities, towns, villages, navigable rivers, water privileges cm the same or in the vicinity of the same, the location of the route of any canal or canals, with any other local advantages of situation. Inlots and out-lots in all towns, cities or villages with the improvements thereon or affixed thereto, shall be valued at their full fair cashvalue as aforesaid, taking into consideration all the local advantages, upon actual view of the premises. All lands and lots shall also be listed at such valuation, without taking into consideration any improvements; and this valuation with the improvements, shall be set down in a proper column to be left for that purpose.

It will be seen that the two sections are identical, with the exception of the words included in brackets in the new law—“not a forced or sheriffs sale.” All lands and improvements are assessed by the township assessors. Under the old law they took an oath to assess lands “at their full true cash value." Under the new law they subscribe to the same oath. However, heretofore one assessor would appraise the land in his township at one-third its value, while tire assessor of the adjoining towhship placed the full value on the Teal estate of his own township. By the same ; process tbp average value of land® in one county was fixed at #15 per acre, while in the next county the rate was #25 per acre. It was these inequalities that created a public sentiment in favor of an honest assessment. The assessor backed by this public sentiment complied with the law that has in reality been in force since 1881, and assessed lands and improvements “at their full true cash value.” In many cases Republican assessors, to make the law obnoxious, valued real estate too high. They and not the hue law should be held responsible. A Tariff Query. Remarkably enough, the only exports from the United States that have materially increased in volume and value, except wheat and com, since tho McKinley tariff went into operation are the manufactures of iron and stee]00These are the manufactures, too^that next to woolen fabrics are roered with the heaviest protective duties. Yet, while thus heavily protecte<l at home, they are able to compete successful# with the rival manufactures of Europe in all the open and free markets of the world. If farm implements of every description, steam engines, saws and tods and other products of the skill and industry of American workers in iron and steel defy competition in foreign lands by reason of their superiority, why should they be hedged about by enormous protective duties in the home market? Is this because it is feared by legislative wisdom that American consumers are not as good judges of the qualities of iron and steel products as arc the consumers of Australia, Canada and Mexico, and that if the duties should he reduced the markets of this country would be “flooded” with European manufac-' tores of inferior workmanship? If this be not the reason, there can be no other motive for this policy than the spoliation of the masses of the American peoplo ! for the profit of a favored few.—Philadelphia Record. That Balance of Trade. I Under the present administration the balance of trade In favor of America has been during the last twelve months #180,000,000. The free trade theorists would have given thrice that sum to Europe.— New York Recorder. The balance of trade has been in our favor during the last twelve months for two reasons—the failure of the wheat crop in Europe last year and the unprecedented yield of cotton and wheat in this country. Without the cotton export to a free trade market the balance of trade would he against us nearly every year. Republican Liu Refuted. On Deooration day a number of political orators in the state charged that the last two Democratic legislatures had neglected the soldiers' orphan home at Knightstown. The legislature journals and acts of the sessions of 1889 and 1891 show that the most liberal appropriations were made for the maintenance, extension and repairs of that institution. In 1889 the following expenditures were authorized by the legislature: Maintenance.....t 79,000 Office salaries..... 3,589 Additional building and repairs.... 48,541 J3ie session of 1891 appropriated for Maintenance.-..# 95,000 Current repairs. 8,000 Salaries of officers... 86,000 Reading room ..... 900 Assembly hall. 13,000 Extension of hospital—.. 8,000 Six additional cottages... 18,000 Additional workshop. 6,000 Two additional school rooms........ 5,000 Repair of farm cottages.500 Complete dining room. 1,000 Waterworks...... 8,000 Electric lights. 3,000 Sewerage. 3,COO Ground and gymnasium. 1,500 Library and reading room...... 3,000 Continued expenses. 3,000 Total .1314,640

Tariff Diagram*. In 1888 when a tariff tor revenue only prevailed American vessels carried 78 per cent. of our foreign trade. In 1881 under the McKinley high tariff only ' > 11 per oent of our exports and imports was carried hy American ships. It is at last oonceeded, even by the most rabid protectionist, that the tariff is a tax and that the foreigner don’t pay it. Experience is a dear school, you know.—Frankfort Crescent The presidential campaign will center on tariff reform, and the Democratic party has already taken the road that leads to glory.—Ripley Journal,
