nearly everything is now trying to

JACKSON, GA OJTOBER 26 1893.
FROM STACK.
Tax pay ing time has e<vne again, and
common people are compelled to pay
their hard earnings to a .'government to
oppress them harder, and protect the mil
lionaires and pay their “bosses” their high
sa'ary, and the poor get poorer and the
rich get richer. '1 here sliculd be a change
in the way of collecting taxes. A/ake
ihe strong shoulders bear the burden, and
the man who has the most to protect by
the government should pav the most for
protection. .Besides having to pay taxes
that are levied by the government, we
have to pay it on everything we use, from
a suit of clothes down to a chew of to
bacco. The country people have to walk
two or thiee miles for their mail, and are
taxed to hire a servant to carry the town
man’s mail to his door. This is not fair.
Is it? Kach man ought to have the same
chance to enjoy that which he pays for.
But that is not f he case. The richer a
man gets the less tax he has to pay ac
cording to his amount of property. The
situation of things is horrible.
Ihe poor people work harder, wear less
clothes, eat less and get poorer. How is
this? Some say it is overproduction.
But it looks strange that a tnau makes too
much and can’t keep enough at home to
live comfortably on. But because we
poor people complain you sa' 7 we are
grumblers and siirers of strife. If things
don’t change soon, you wiil see who the
strife stiiers are There are more people
in the chain-gang than there ever was be
fore aud more people in the poor-house.
The old adage proves true, tjUat where the
young go to the chain-gang and old to the
poor-house there was something wrong
with the government Tb-day there aie
more hungry people in the United Ntati s
than ever was known. People starving
aud going halt' clothed, and yet you say
the people matte too much. 71iere is
something wrong somewhere.
We need a President who will adhere to
poverty’s warns as well as to the Rotii
eliilds and golbugs, and whb can hear the
widow and orphan’s cry asXwell as Wall
street and her advicts, and Avho, in place
of hunting ducks and fishing for suckers,
will be woiking for the | good of the
people.
A good many years ago, in the old
Eastern country 7 , when the poor people
w ere oppressed so hard that they could
stand it no longer, they arose iu mass and
took their kings and queens and others
that refused them favors and chopped
their heads off—set then; so., a govern
ment of their own, and after that whep
they elected a man he walked the “chajk
line ” i?ut I hope our people can com
promise on easier terms than that. But if
there was a punishment for broken pledges,
there would be no pledgres broken, and
when a man was sent to congress he
would his best to carry out the plat
form on which he was elected.
If there isn’t something done by the
law-makers to relieve the people the next
promise to do them good if they will give
them another chance, will uot have much
effect. For the people are using their
head to thiuk with instead of letting some
- else do their thinking. JPhen they
get by themselves and begin to get their
thinking apparatus at work, they very
quickly ceme to the conclusion that things
are not going right. The old fogies are
hard to fool. They are reading more,
studying more, and I hope they are going
to do more. -But it seems that selfishness
has complete control of our law-makers,
from the boss in the JFbite House down
as low as they get. It seems to be con
tagious, and our last grand jury had a
case of it, and it showed itself so plainly
we were obliged to notice it. We carried
a petition before this body, begging them
to give us a bridge across a creek near us.
They ignored and laughed at our petition,
and said our time would come next.
There is not a place anywhere else in the
county that needs a bridge as bad as this
place. It is on the U. 8. mail route
from Jackson to Covington. It rises to
an enormous size on short notice, and
vhen supposed to have run down it occa
cionally leaves qu ck-sand or holes so as
to make it dangeious to cross after a la’r.
Seeing the disadvantages of this place, I
endeavored to remedy it by getting a num
ber of the best citizens of our community
to sign their names to the petition Af r
getting about twenty of them I submitted
it to the grand jury, and they treated it as
above stated. (Jur tide o the county was
Jepresented by only th*ee of that body
and the other side nine. You see how
they outvoted us. If they can get their
bread buttered, the oiher fellows can eat
i heir’s dry. They could see where the
people at .Brunswick were in need and
contributed to their wants, but their neigh
bor they would not see.
There was a petition carried before the
grand jury once before, and his efforts
were treated as n n.•. They told him his
me would come next.' We have waited
a long time, and our time has not con e
vet. 7here is not a mud hole nor gully
on your side of the county that has not a
uridge across it. Rut sti]} you say our
.ime will come next. Tit wa3 biead we
were asking *cr. by this we would be
looking p etty “gant”—and when com
pa ei wish our President, we would look
ike "'before and after taking.” When
the tax collector comes around he don’t
! ell us our time will come next, but says
‘pfcy now.” so that the other fellows cau
have their bridg s b ilt
But if we don’t like your actions, we
have a poor way to help our.-elves. We
will have to grin and endure it.
