M. L. WARREN.

Among the very few articles of general consumption which experienced a rise in price last fall, on account of the McKinley bill, and thus furnished a flimsy foundation for a most colossal super-1 structure.of democratic lies, wasr albumen paper, ah article of in- ] . dispetisible use in photography,— aud this increase in price was heralded from one end of the country to the other, harped upon and reiterated, for all it was worth, aud a good deal more. The price was raised from 90 cents a quire to §1.20. But mark the result. Uuder the increased protectiou of the McKinley tariff some American manufacturers of the article, who had previously been compelled to quit business on account of European competition, at once resumed its manufacture, and now the price is back to the old figure , of 90 cents a quire, as any of the photographers can tell you, and the prospects are that the figures 'will go still lower. The following is from Peru Republican, every word of which is as true as gospel: Indiana has 875,000 for making a display at j the Chicago World’s Fair. Other States, not so good as Indiana, i have 8300,000. The reason for skimping our display at Chicago, is that we have the largest debt and the highest taxes per capita j of any State in the Union, except the eleven States of the late Confederacy, whose treasurers have stolen everything in sight and are living in luxurious exile. v A state dominated by a Democratic Legislature is, perhaps sufficiently glorified without making any display at the World’s Fair. Indianians will

go up and see' a miserable little shanty, and blush to behold the meager and shabby display of one of the greatest States in the Union, all on account of the party that holds the State in its grasp by a villainous gerrymander and lu» held it updike a highwayman W- - til it- has robbed its treasury of everything in sight and pletlged its credit to the point of extremity. -

PROTECTION THE CITIZENS RIGHT

A nation should first of all be just to those citizens upon whom its c’b-u ace depends. To support our government, enforce its laws .and maintain its standing among the nations of the earth a largo revenue is required to be regularly fort basiling, backed by an unlimiti'4 i'‘.si rve of both men and money which can be drawn against in cases of emergency. Mot only is every citizen forced to pay taxes ou bin projierty, but, except in cases of infirmity, his person is held liable for military and jury service, and he is never exempt from call to aid in preserving the peace of society and enforcing the laws of tiic land. It is in behalf of these Citizens that protection demands privileges over foreign business competitors that under all Ci rcu mstances

wil 1 fully offset the sacri(ices they are compelled to make- To concede.. thorn less is injustice - for them to accept less Would be slavery. From the standpoint of eon it y, foreign producers have no monright to free admlftayce to the markets of this country for their wares than they would have, IF here, to occupy the business houses of «mr meiciiants withont first making terms satisfactory to the owners. Of course these foreign competitors prefer not to .pay for the privileges they so much desire, and hence they all along conceived it to be their interest to see to it that their preferences were given vigorous emphasis m our politics whenever voters were called upon to select representatives for enacting and enforcing national legislation. The ingenuity evinced by these advocates of free foreign trade in concealing from voters the real question at issue, and the energy with which voters have been urged to believe that the interests of their country would be best promoted by extending to foreign business rivals privileges ilecessarily beyond reach of its Own people, would be especially commendable if brought to the support of some worthier object than advancement of legislation dictated by the British Cobden-Clnb

!ed by the unanimous voice of a ; foreign • press. During the ceu- ; tury that has intervened since the first Congresscleclared against the commercial domination of England, American voters have ndver failed to reiterate their opposition to forign dictation in shaping the economic legislation of this country—ami there is no probability that the national policy of protecfor home industries will be reversed so long as voters are permitted to understand the real aim of the selfstyled reformers of our tariff laws.

The New Tax Law.

Editob Repchlic^n. Tbc following are some of the points in the new tax law of interest to your readers; The levy for County purposes shall be made in September instead of June. > There is no provision for township 1 1 vy. 11 w ill be made, in June underthe old law. The live for state, school and endowment fund, and hospital fund will be as follows: •State ~T.T77.'. 12cts. School lfi' •«* . Endowment /. ..;;.w . T ” . Hospital 6 . Total 34$ “ . The meaning of the words, “value” “cash value” “true vnlue” , or valuation. whenever used in this act shall he lield to mean the usual selling price at the place where the property, to which such term or terms are applied, shall be at the time of assessment, being the priee which could be obtained therefor at jn-irate sale and not at forced or auction sale. Real property shall be valued by the assessor as follows; Lands and the improvements and buildings thereon or affixed thereto shall be valued at their J'u/l true cash vaivees timated at the price they would bring at a fair, voluntary private sale, not a forced or sheriff’s sale, taking into consideration the fertility- of the aril the vicinity of the same to railroads, macadamized roads, clay roads, gravel roads, and turnpike roads. State or Cmmtv roads, cities, towns or villages, navigable rivers, water privileges on the '-•une. or in the vicinity of the the same * " * *;■ In-lots and out-lots in .‘ill towns, c ities or villages with improvement thereon, or affixed thereto, shall be valued at their full c&xJi value as aforesaid, taking into eonsidernation all the local advantage upon actual vc-iw of premises. All : Jands-and lots shall also I.e listed at such \ r ahlation, .wilkout taking into leoiisidcration any improvements, and this valuation as well as the valuaTTdn with the improvements .shall l|e set down in a proper be left for that purpose. Sec 112 provides for the election of a county assessor in April, 1892. The Commissioner shall elect one by ballot at the June term to serve until one is elected by the people.

If the Assessor fails to adininster orth to person assessed, he can be fined twenty dollars for each omissiou. The County Board of Review or Board of Equalization shall nu et on Monday after the Fourth of July annually. If any delinquent tax payer converts property so the. County Treasurer cannot make levy, that is, if he sell it and and puts it in bank and will not pay, the Treasurer must report the same to the Prosecuting Attorney. Sec. 31. Whenever at any time during any year, any transient person shall locate in any township, city, tbwn, or village and shall offer to seh or otherwise dispose of any books or other goods, wares or merchandise, under the name of a gift book store or any other name or designation it shall be the duty of the proper assessor for the lima being * . * * forthwith to call upon such persons and demand of him the true value in money of all his stock in trade * * *. He shall forthwith return such valuation to the auditor of the County who shall o^ use the s<ane to be en-tt-red on the taxfou.iiiiL-ute_anßcolW4;-

Tatrurmed iately. : ’ The lands in Jasper County are appraised at from one fifth to one third of the price they would sell for, therefore "our State, school, endowment and hospital taxes will he three to live time higher for the } ear 1891 than at present. The same will hold good on personal property also. The land owners will have to pay this unless the Legislature has provided in same other act to lower the levies to suit the appraisement. The township trustee and County Commissioners can do that in June and September. The work of the Auditor and County Assessor will be very difficult to perform under the new law. Yours, J. B. Washburn.

The New Dog Law.

The new dog law requires owners of dogs to register them with the township trustee under penalty of a Jine of five dollars. Any one may kill an unregistered dog. Male clogs shall pay a license of one dollar for the first and two dollars for each additional ; females two dollars for the first aud five dollars for each additional. Any one stealing or injuring a registered dog shall be subject to a maximum fine of SIOO. All moneys derived from the registration of dogs, and all fines under this act, shall constitute a fund known as the dog fund, which shall be for the payment of damages sustained by the owners of swine, cattle, horses and sheep killed, maiaed or damaged by dogs within such township. Registered dogs sha’l not be otherwise t? xed.. Emergency. We have a long line of flannels, cotton flannels, wool blankets and every thing of the kind which we will sell at bottom prices.
