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. C. L. Redman. PREMIUMS Drier and Hampden IT O YL ~B S Given away to Our Readers. ANY ONE CAN GET A v l , GOLD WATCH FREE.
