The motion is to ndd 112 per cent to the aascrsed valuation of lands in this county, and 50 por cont to the valuation of personal proporty and town lota, This 50 per cent is, however, to be distributed back pro rata among all the countics, leaving the net addilion to Cools County about 40 per cent on personal property and town lots, and 100 por cont on lands. Tho county assess- ment of Cook County now foots up: Town and city lots Teraunal property. Grand total.. The additions w About«$200,000,000, or something liko $25,- 000, to $30,000,000 less thon lnst yenr, and over $100,000,000 less than in 1873, The incronse of mssessments will not in any way {ncronse the amount of tax for city pur- poses. The nmount of tax to be raised for city purposes is fixed by ordinance, and the rateof tax to produce that sum {a raisod or reduced by tho incrosse or roduction of the, valuation,—the amount of tax remaining the samo. 'The Stato tax ia spportioned in the samo way. ‘The rate of tax for county pur- poses is limited by law, and the reduction of the aggrogate valuation will so limit tho County Board that to enable it to meet its oxpenditures thero will have to be & liboral reduction of the appropriations from last yonr, . HARD TIMES AND DEMOCRACY. Tho Demooratio party undertook to axcite popular favor for their candidates by nn ap- peal to tho selflshness of overy man, and to the persofial grievances of every man, by the cry of “Hard Times,"” and also by tho ss- sevoration that TiupEN was a ‘Reformor” whoso election would bring a *change,” and it wns ndded that ‘‘any change must be for tho better.” It has entered largely into the expeetations of that party that the universal depression of business, tho puspension of muny branches of industry, the sufferings, distress. nud privations of sp many thon- sands of families becauds of the non-employ- moent and loas of wages of the mombers, the spproach of another winter with but little prospect of roliof,—that those eircumstances would prepare tho minds of a vast army of workingmen to listen to the promise of ro- form, and to tho cheering assurance of o ro- turn to “good times.” Thero is no man in any business or occupation who is not keon- 1y alive to the soverity of hard times, who is not fully nware that never had ho passed through a more depresssd or a less hopoful period. Upon the vast multitude who live by thoir daily wages, aud to whose support em- ployment monns broad, home, health, and lifo, tho hard timneas have pressed heavily, and for an nnprecedentedly long time, In many States ovor onc-half the Inboring men have beon subatantially. out of work for along time, In othors the work has beon tran- .sitory, end thonsands who have been acous- tomed to continnous mechanicnl work have beon contont to nceopt odd jobs at any kind of Inbor. In all the States and in all branches of employment there has beon a larga reduc- tion of the number employed and of the wogos of thoso who have boon abla to find work, To these peoplo the Democrats have Leld up the nndeninble picture of havd times, and have nrged the promise of reform and an immediato restoration of better times. In no part of the country, not even in the conl and iron districts of Pennsylvania, has -tho distress been more soverely felt than in the monufacturing Btatos of New England. Employment thero means not only wages to the head of the family, but to the wife snd to each son nhd daughter over 12 yoars of nge. The ocombined wages of these hns boen necessary to pny ront, to purchase food and fuel, to koop the younger childron at school, to cover tho lost timo of sickness, add to tho littlo stock of liouschold furniture, and put a little away in tho savings bank, But the panic of 1878 fell. liko & blight upon theso poople, Mill after mill and shop after shop closed their doors ; tho fow mills that did aftor n time rosume thelr worlk, worked on qunrter, third, or half time for a roduced number of oporatives, In noarly threo years, with occasional resump- tions, theso working people of the Now En- gland towns have ondured tho severity of hard times under ciroumstances of groat hard- ship. Tothem thero Las boon not evon a faint hopo of a restoration of good times, and evon the promiss of a remote resump- tion of labor s founded mainly on a por- manent reductlon of wages. Maine, Vor- mont, Now Hampshire, Massachusotts, and Rhodo Island are peoplod with theso victims of #Hard Times,” and yet in no one of thesq States has thore beon the slightost lmnrkonlng to tho nppeals of tho Democratie party,—not tha slightest ovidenco of any pop- “ular faith in tho Democratio promisos of re- ‘form change ond tho' restoration of better timos, It thero wore any potency in the Domo- cratio promise of Reform, it would have had some effect in the purely laboring districts of New England. What baa been the effect thero? Vormont has, out of o total voto of 65,000, givon less than one out of overy three for Domocratic reform. Threo yoars of privation, suffering, and hard times have not added a vote to the Domnocratia party be- yond the proportion which that party had when employment and labor were prosper. oug, In Maine thero was a population even moro earnestly congolous of tho severity of the hard flines, but whilo the pictures of the hard times wero painted in the most truthful colory, tho very viotims declined to put faith in oither the ability or the purpose of the Domocratio party to remedy any political evil or abuse or any mismanagement of the Goverument, 80 Maine, at the olose of threa years of hard times, rojocted tho Demooratlo party by a majority of 16,000,—as great as the avorago majority when the Democrats opposed the War, ‘Tho people of Maine and Vermont are as intolligent, no more and no less, than the pooplo of tho othor great productive Btates of the Unlon. New Jorsoy is a perfect hive of industrious laborers. Pennsylvania is one vast workshop of human skill and labor, Ohio and Michigan, Ilinols snd Wisconsin, are poopled with men who lve by the fruits of their own labor, skill, oud industry, Theso poople all have fels #he presence of bard times ; have experlenced the pincbing "neverity of reduced ‘Wagos ‘and of want' of URDAY of a disdgreement with tho National Com- mittes, - o ; Thoro ia little doubt that Me. Tizpex mado nppronches to Bonunz for his support, Tho roport, we holleve, bas licon sufllciontly au- thentioated that Sonunz was offered the mis- sion to the German Empire, or a place in the Cnbinot, or protly much anything elso he would tako, in caso ho wonld support Tre- DpEN. But porsorinl preformont is not what Mr. 8onunz has beon looking for, 1If it had been,~he would have gono over to tho Demo- ornts, who would have ro-clocted him Bena. tor from Missouri; but ho did not desire an nssocintion with the Confoderates at any ro- wanrd., Having failed to eapture the bird by sprinkling salt on his tail, the Domo- omplcyment; they have all suffered ns havo tho poopla in’ Maine and Vermont, but, like them, thoy have intolligonce enough to dis- truat the promises and the ability of the Democratic party to reform snything. The Demooratic party fa a party of de- struction. It has no polioy for the promo- tion of the public wolfare. For yoars baforo the War it had but a single mensure of na- tional policy, and that was the preservation of human slavery—the degradation of the Afrioan raco, Blavery lhas beon abolished, but the Demooratio party of to-day hns but one measure of publio policy—tho degrada- tion of the enfranchised Africaus, the re. establishment of the political supremnoy and oxolusive rulo of the suporior whito raco. | orpts nra trying to clip hLis wings.

It has no policy of finance; no policy of tax- ation; no policy of governmental reform excopt the appointment of Democrats and Confoderates to offices from which they have been excluded since tho War. The Demo- cratio House of Repreaontatives, after a sos- sion of nino months, falled to mature ono single act of national legislation on any sub- joct. Its wholo business was how to extin. tingunish the negro and how to rehabilitate the Confederate. In aparty thus influenced nnd controlled, a party organized exclusively in tho intorest of a *Solid South,”" the American peoplo can discover no mneans of rolief from hinrd times, nor anything but the wanton sacrifico of tho colored peoplo, and tho bankrnptoy of the nation in legisla. tion by and for the **Solid South.” THE CONFEDERATE OLAIMS. ¢ ‘The Loulsville Courier-Journal is anxions to remove the impression very gonorally en- tortained that Domocratic euccess will bo celebrated by a Congressional allowanco of Confederato claims, for which bills were in- troduced at the last scssion of tho Houso, and which will amount to cnough to double the prosent national debt. The nrgument used to allay public apprehension may be found in the following paragraph ¢ Congresstonal appropriations come out of taxes Tevied upon tho whole peoplo; the Bouth no less than the North would be burdened by doupling tho national debt: and beyond thia nothing is left to be sald, because it is not the bablt of the many to im- povorish themselves for the benefit of the few. That of which the popular tntelligence complains s excessive Governmental cxpenditure, That which the busincss Intcreat of tho country socks is rolief from excessive taxation. The’ prevatling causc of depfession s well undorstood in the Bouth, ‘where, accompaniod by an unwiso Federal admine istration as to the stats of affairs in goneral, it has aperated most hardly, The Southern people no mora than the Northern people can stand a greater 1oad than now oppresses them, This roply ean scarcely be called ingenious. ‘In tho allowance "of claims for losses in- currod by the Rebels during the War, for the destruction of their property and for tho usa and occupation of their lands, and in the refunding of tha cotton tax of $68,000,- 000 (tho only War tax ever pnid by the Bouth), the bonefit would ncorne entirely and exclusivoly to thu people of the South, and tho greater portion of the burden would: he borne by the peoplo of the North, The in- torest of the Sonth, therefors, instead of being opposed to the sclieme, i all in favor of it. ' If tho taxation of the Southern people were increased to somo ox tont, thomgh it wonld bo small as compared with the increaso .of taxation which the North would pay, yet it wonld not bo meroly offsct by the allowance of pay.for ‘War losses, but would farnish the Bouthern beneficiarios with an enormous surplus after giving thom the moans to bear their propor- tion of the increased taxes. It must also be romombered that the tax, falling largoly on Inbor, would bo pald miostly by tho nogroes of tha South, who do protty much all the worlt that is done, whila the bengfits would bo enjoyed by the Confederato whites, who would thus be reimbursed for the losses in- cident to a robellion which they procipitated. Tho editor of the Courier-Journal is too in- telligent not to understand all this, but ho may well fonr the effect of haying it gonerally understood throughout the country, As to that part of his argu- ment which claims that the peoplo of the South comprehend that their dopression is the reaunlt of excessive taxation, and ‘will not demnud any increnso oven for their qwn bonefit, it is crucl but only just to remind him that ho himself, on bohalf of tha Sonth- ern people, was tho porsistent advocate of n scheme to add soveral hundred millions to tho national obligations for the purpose of subsidizing Tox Soorr'’s Pacific Railroad. Tt ia nlso fair to assume that he.confidently ex- pocts, in caso tho Democrats securo control of Congress, to mako more headway with the next Congress than ho did at the last session in favor of Lis pet subsidy., This does not look very much as though the Bouth op- poscs incrensed taxation oven for its own benefit, CARL S80HURZ IN THE CANVASS, It did not need the invention of tho Dem. | ocratio lie about the withdrawal of Scuunz from the canvase for ITaves and Wueeren to show that the Tildenites arosorely afllicted ot tho efficiency of the work Lo is doing. Thero is probably no single citizen in America who brings so large & personal influence to bear upon tho election of Gov. Haves as Oany Bonunz, ‘There are many rensons why -this is so. 1lis consplenous nbility and fair. ness as o statesman entitlo him to a respeot- ful consideration from all parties and all men, no matter what atiitude he may assume in public {ssues. His publip carcer hns shown him to bo gnided by the highest mo- tives, ond ho hns on moro than one oceaslon proved his willinguess to sacrifico, personnl advantages for the advoency of what he con. coived to bo right and best., There is no other man who hoa’ equal claims upon the admiration and * confilonce of Goerman- Ameriean citizens, The German who does not take pride in Bonunz as the ropresontative of the bost type of the Gormau-Amerivan citi- zonship may reasouably be suspeocted of either malice, 8 lack of intelligence, or nn- worlthy personal prefudice. Ie is the kind of citizen who does honor to any country op any peoplo to whom ko bolongs, While this hos always been truo of Bouunz, and hrs Jjustly given him large influence among Ger- mans aud Awericans both, his position in the prosent canvass is especinlly ontitled to rospeot because it waas takon hfter the most mature deliberation. It is safe to ssy that no ono took 8o much personal palns to learn tho charaoter of tho Republichn candidate {for Presidont, and to convince himself of tha purity and earncstness of his ambition, as did Mr, Bomunz, His support of Ilivxs under these ciroumstoncos has a greater significance than it would have had other- wha\. and it has been 8o rocoguized and felt throughout the country. Ience the recent Domocratio effort to break the force of Mr, Sonuzz's cpnvass by the ciroulation of o false roport that be bad withdrawn on acconnt the Democratio newspapers, has undoubtedly ocensioned some resontmont among Mr. Sonunz's German friends and admirers, un« der the impression that there fs somo truth init. Tut when it shall be generally known to hiave been n malicious fabrieation, as will be shown by tho contipuation of M. Scnunz's notivo canvass so long as his health pormits, the lio will renct to tho disadvantaga of those who invented it, and Mr. Scnunz will be able to do more good than ever. It is proper to remember that Mr, Scavrz camo into this campaign 08 an independent voter. He had never formally disnssociated himsolf from the Ropubliean party, nnd had porsistently refused to ally himgelf with the Domaerats, But he Las for eovernl years maintained on indepondent * politieal attitudo, exercised freoly his right of criticisimn, and held him- self ready to take such n conrso in tho Prosi~ dentinl campaign os would commend itsslf to him ns in tho interest of sound money, good Government, and tito improvement of the civil service, He gpes not come into the canvass, thorefors, nd the defendor of all that has beon dono by all the officials whom the Ropublican party has happened to bring into power. Ho 18 not the sort of hack politician to do this sord of thing, Hoe stands before the people ns £ ‘experionced, ncute, and honest observer, and ho gives it 88 n 7esult of his maturest judgment that the best hopa for a reform of the civil sorvice, tho improvement of the finances, and tho Lonest ndministration of the Government for thenext four yearsistobe foundin the election of Gov. Hayes, and the co-operation of tho class of mon IAyes is sure to eadl abont him, A good many zealous Ropublicans may dif- fer with Mr. SBcaunz a8 to many of his eriti- cisms of happenings undor the Republican Administration of tho past fonr years; some mny agres with him in part only, Bat Mr. 8cnunz may vory properly claim that his do- clared political independenco ontitles him to the opiniona he holds, and that the question is not a mattor of opinion ns to the eventa of the pnst four yoars, but a matter of judg- ment as to the events of the next four yenrs, Indeed, tho very fact of his disagreemont with some of the men who have been promi- nent in the Republican party, which he lins 8o plainly expressed at times, renders his support of Mr. Havea tho moro valusble, since it shows lim to ba actuated by sincore and indepondent considerations, THE FOURTH PARTY. The Fourth Party in Mnssachusotts, com- posed of the Woman.Suffragists, have reached tha dignity of a Stato Convention, platform, and candidates for State offices, Tho Con- vention was hold on Tuesdsy last. Luox Stoxe was the tomporary Chairwoman, and, while the varions commiltecs were out, the inevitablo WenpeLL PrnLrirs made a speoch, and urged apy. and . systamatio work. His ndviua,elm?a'r, was not carried out eithorin lotter or mpirit. Tho Committeo on Pormanent Organization reported Ars, Liveryone for President, and such old vot- orans for tho othor offices as Luvoy Stong, Asnte Kerry Fosren, Eoxa D. Onexey, the Rev. Errex 8, Guermve, Mre, Hannrer H., TRonmson, Mra, Kare T. Woons, and others, Mrs, Laveryore had hardly takon lor chair befora n row Degan on the question whether the Buffragists should nominate n candidate or roport a platform a8 the first business of tho day. Pending this row, a delogate in- nocently inquired whether thers was sny question beforo the Convention. Upon this question a rancorons dobate ensued. Ono sot clalmed that resolutions were in order ; another, that candidates were. The President took a haud in, and declared that ono sot was trying to gag tho other. Somo ouo proposed the pravious question, whoreat a scoro of ladies were on their foet wanting to know what a provious question was. Mre, Livenone, with the assistauce of sev- oral dolegntes, each of whom had a different understanding of the term, sncceeded in giv. iog them o satisfactory explanation, where- upon another lady, who was tired, proposed to adjourn. Mrs, Liveryong refused to put tho motion, although it was scconded, wheroupon another scrimmage commenced., Mrs, Lavemyonz remained obstinate, how- ovor, showing the truth of tho old .saying, “Whon sho won't, sho won't, you may do- pend on't,” Then o delegate” from some- ‘whoro moved that the Hon. Joux I Baxes, of Baverly, be declared the eandidate forGov- ernor, and procoeded to make a spoech, but Mra, Lavenyone supprossed him and wouldn't lot him talk, Another man got up, and, after talking five minutos, was summarily squelch- od by Mra, Livensonr, who, mesuwhile, had boen talking all the time quite vigorously. Ho slapped back by saying that Mrs, Lives. wmonehad ellowed her sot totalk half an hour, while ho couldn't talk but five minutes, The delegato who wanted to nominate Baxen tried to speak aguin, and, on being squelched tha second timo, took his hat and declarod ho wouldu't stay in such & crowd, Mua, Lavenuorg called for tho Horomxsox Family to'siug, and just as they wero nbout to give ntteranco to' thelr duloet foucs a woman on the platform commencod fo &g something in Hobrew, Irish, or Chal. daje, wheroupon Mrg, TLavenuwonz wont for her and seated hor summarily, The Hurcuxson Family atlast got in their song, and were followed by somo colored Jubilee Bingers who chanted a **Camp-Mooting Bhout,” with frequent sllusions to ** n love- feast in Heaven to-day," The chaos gradually subsided, and at lnst a ticket was placed in nomination, but whon Luoy Srone and some others found that the Prohibitionists had captured tho Convention and that their ticket hud been nominnted, there was moro troubls, 'The storms, however, gradudlly dled away. Mrs, Livesmong mnade a pacific apeech, the Hurouixnsons warbled a tune, aud the woman on the platform was allowed to sing her Ho. brew, Iriuh, or Chaldaic song, and the Cou- vention finally adjourned. = Viowing the Convention with an impartial oye, it does not appeay to have been au emi- nent succesy, noy dm_u hold out very flat- tering prospects of <yoman's guccess s @ politiolan, The wi want there to nom. innto a suffengo tickot, and only anccoeded in ploying Into tho hands of the Prohibitionists ond awallowing the bait so cunningly sot for them. Thoy cussed and discussed like men, They wrangled like mon, and got mad liko mon, and tatked n great doal more than man, 1t ia to bo rogrotted, however, that, after all their garrulonsness and small fominine fury, they did not succeed in putting n straight suffrago tickot in thoe flald. As thoy nro now swallowed up by the cold-water people, of caurse the election will afford no trustworthy indication of theilr actunl strenglh, Had they gone into the election on their own ticket and platform, it is probablo that they wonld have been sufficiontly satisfied ‘with tho result to have dropped tha suffrago business, Thoro ‘s nothing that so thor- oughly tests tho vitality of the suffrnge- movement ns an olection in which it is an issuv. If Mre, Livernons could submit the quostion to thedwomen of America nt {he polls, she would probably be astounded nt tho rosult, It may bo that sho apprecintes this fact, sinco in ono of ler numorous specches in tho Convention she declared that the ballot might bo shoved upon woman * s you shiove a cart upon a balky horse.” WATER ROUTES T0O THE OCEAN. Tho Minnesota papers are publishing long accounts of the expected completion of the Wisconsin & Fox River canal and rivor improvement. Wo undorstond from theso reports that, at tho end of 1870, the Fox River branch of this work and the canal will bo completed, lonving the Wisconsin River yet to bo worked up, Tho ordinary S8t. Paul man, whon ho speaks of this improvemont, always talks of the communication (o be thus catablished between St. Paul and Taverpool. Ono of the papers of that city writes: Of courso Milwaukes, Chicago, St. Louls, Phila-+| .delphla, nnd Baltimoro aro oppdsed to this im- provement. They cannot bo expected to look with favor.upon tho complotion of any routeswhich will divert o large proportion of Minnesota ‘wheat from thelr warchouses. Of course all tho rail- ronds between (he Northwest and tho seabonrd or tho lokes are opposed to it, because they arc op- ponsed to it competing routes, and especiuily to ail water routes, sincu thoy compel chienp transporta- tion, and are the most effectivo enumles of monop- oly which the Grangers have. It Is ensy toace count, then, for the nolsy and even indignant op- position which the completion of the Fox and Wisconsin improvement develops. It Is a strong and an energetlc opposition, but it cannot win, There is nota mnu, woman, or child in Chicngo who hns the least opposition to this river improvement becauso of any supposed injury its complotion will have on’the busi- ness of Chicngo. Thers may have boen, and is now, a very’ decided opinion that tho ‘monoy spent on that work was a scandalous waste, and that, though the job might sorve 08 patronago to run the politics of ono or two States, tho monoy of the country was ‘applied to & work which of necessity will cover many years of expendituro without any resulting bonefits, The commercial lifo of Chicago hardly dopends upon the success or foflure of tho ostablishment of commercinl intercourse botweon St. Paul and Liverpool. Indeed, 8t. Paul might have a monopoly of the Minnesota trade with Liverpool, and Chi- cago not be awarc'of the fact. Novortheloss, wo think that Minnesota will find it profita- ‘le to deal with Ohteago, nt lonst uatil the Wisconsin River is so far tomplotod as to ‘hold water in quantities sufficiont for navigo- tion; andinthe meantime, and until tho timo comes when the' 8t. Paul & Liverpool and the Bt. Paul & Havro lines of steamships will be competing with the St. Louis & London and tho St. Louis & Antwerp lines of steam- ships for the trade of tho Miasismippi, the prosent and the next goneration willcontinua thoir ploasant and mutually profitable com- meroial relations with Chicago. There is hardly any necessity—ceriainly no imme- diate hurry—for s change in the routes of transportation, though the following para- graph from the snme papor shows how near the chango may be: From estimates carefully mnde,t 18 bellaved that our river commerco will be increased many fold by this nrrangement—that the boats to be scen at tho landings above fts torninus will be counted by the dozon Instend of by oncs and twos, and that the price of our chlof staple of cxport will bo fncreasod aeveral conts por buahel by the ovont. Thesa Dbonts, which are to compriss the commereinl marine of the UpperMississippi, will bo built just aa fast as they are neoded, and when they shall crowd one anothor pass- ing to and fro botween St. Paul and the Wis- counsin River, the old salts will amuse the strangor passongers by reminisconces of the times when Minnesota wheat used to find its way to Ohicago and thonco on bonrd an ocaan steamer, whilo the modern navigators spend half the summor waiting for a rain to supply the great river improvement with water enough to cstoblish commorcial traflc .bo- tween 8t.
