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.
