Pay The Fiddler

The Billion Dollar Congress spent of the people's money one-sixth the total cost of the civil war, as estimated by John Sherman. One-sixteenth the total assessed value of all the taxable property in the United States in 1880. More than the war indemnity paid by France to Germany, and more than the present national bonded debt. Doublé the total estimated true valuation of all property of every kind in eighteen States. Three times the estimated value of all property in ten States. Four times the total wealth of seven States. Fifteen times the total wealth oí Nevada. Every cent of this must be raised by taxation. It means $16 per head and $96 per family that must be paid. Having danced to the Republican tune, the people must pay the Republican fiddler. - Republican Watchman.
