The Bloomfield Democrat claims to have double the county’s newspaper circulation and invites advertisers to check subscription books. It notes a $1.50 annual subscription price and directs business letters to The Democrat and associated individuals. The notice is dated Friday September 18, 1891 and marks mail matter status.
A lengthy Indiana tax discussion outlines dramatic 1891 railroad and telegraph tax increases across Greene County and state totals. Proponents hail the Democratic law as bringing fair shares from banks and railroads, while opponents warn of higher burdens for farmers and question motives of protection for wool growers and manufacturers.
The 1890 and 1891 tax levies are detailed for state, county and townships. Despite increased assessments and state contributions, most levies fall, with Richland and Bloomfield areas showing notable cuts. Township by township results reveal reductions largely driven by debt status and limited funds, while a few increases reflect school and bridge needs.
