Tax on every purchase shown in Harrison county article

The 1870 Harrison county tax burden is explained as indirect tariff taxes on nails, knives, sheet iron, carpet, and other goods. The piece argues this hidden tax funds the national debt, criticizes Republican policies, and exposes alleged improper county auditor fees and misused funds.

The Pink Saints of Purity in County Spendthrift Charges

A partisan broadside accuses the Republican faction at a county convention of hypocrisy and waste.

County Auditor Fees Spar Over Six Months in 1867

The article compares two county auditors, Douglass and Wright, noting Douglass charged 2700 annually for six months while Wright billed 2870 66 for the same period. It details their bill items for filing, docketing, entering actions, and motions, with Wright’s totals rising despite court actions to curb costs. The piece questions economy given ongoing lawsuits and sums paid in 1869.
