TENE RA IRE RS NREL ERR ARO Ee
Taxes and fevenue, ,
Some journals with a view to deceiving the péople, quote the increase of
revenue during Grant's administration.
as an evidence of an increase of taxation. This is ond of thé. diidllowest sub—
verfuges resorted to bythe opposition,
because every reading ‘mati is aware
that taxes have been redacéd at the
last to sessions .of Congress,, and
therefore the increased receipts .only
demonstrate the more faithful collection and judicious expenditure of pub.
lic money, It also. demonstrates that
moderate taxation than from high taxes. But there ig no reason-why the
taxes should not be still further. reduced. It would be well for the Government to provide merly for the current demands, interest, etc., and the
pensions, and leave the principal té
be paid-as the country incresses fh
wealth and population. The’ income
‘tax has been so modified that it does
not effect any whose incomes are undor $2,500 per year, and its cnercus
features are destroyed. It would be
well if this tax could be entirely abandoned, bat. since. in.many-of the Hastern
and Central States it is the most popu:
lar tax, ite repéal is hardly possible.
The t and first tax reform dé.
manded is that of the tariff? This
should be collected only to that extent
required for the purpose of) revenue.
The old doctrines of the protectionists
are well nigh “played out,” ,Commissioner Wells, formerly a strong protec.
" tionist, has come out in favor. of tariff
only ag a source of revenue, Let the
reduction of taxes continue uutil the
people are relieved of the onerous burdens impused by ‘the high tariff! It is
true such taxes are indirect, bat they
are no less onerous! on that account.
The tariffs have alreaily been modified’
80 a8 to exempt to a great extent necéssary articles, but these ‘ exemptions
ought also to extend to manufactured
articles. The mamufacturers ‘of’ the
United .States are accumulating: fortunes and dividing large profits on actected, why should. not the agricultur-.
ist and) the. laborer? There would bé
just as much reason in taxing the la+
bor of every emigrant to protect those
already here, as there js ia ‘taxing ev—
ery pound of coal or -iren’ tliat: imihe
owners may become rich: « Protectioti
simply takes from. the pockets of the
many to enrich the few, and:should
never be adopted by any country, The
necessity for high tariffs and taxes bas
passed with the war, The good work.
of reduction commenced by Congress is
being carried. forward, and the inx
creased receipts and rapid extinguishment of the debt warrants still further
reduction. Let the good work be carried
on until the industry of the country is
relieved of burdens hard to be, borne,
and the whole population is no longer:
taxed tor the benetit of the few.
THERE are hearly 7,000 French
Canadians. employed In the: factories
and workshops of Connecticut. The
region along the lower St. Lawrenée is
prolifie’'in quiet, industrious laborers,
and, as it does not produce very much
of anything else, the young people haye
lately emigrated in large numbers to
' Tue Department clerks in Washington are already organizing for anew
raid on Congress, the objective point
being an increase of salaries. They
protest that it is impossible to subsist
on the present rates ; yet-it is noticed
that few of them gtarve'to death, none
resign, and there are a hundred applicants for every vacancy.
