DIRECT TAXATION BY THE FEDERAL
COVER NMENN.

By the table in another column it will be seen
that Vermont has been annually ntTibutns more
than SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
for the as four years for the support of the federal
government, while expenses have
been but about $64 900 annually. How would
you like addition to the DIRECT TAXES, to
be paM N SPECIE, of 100000? Compared
with this the loco oco attempt last year TO add 800,
600 10 state taxes, sinks into nonentty. Aside
Fl ON the enormous burden of the tax, it would be
runous financial measure, would all direct
TAXATION by the federal government; thus for in
stance: the amount of specie which would have
been drawn from Vermont to the federal treasury
in 53S, would be, in round numbers, $6SO,00
while the amount brought back in disbursements in
this state, would have been not more than 100000
BY this operation, in a single year, Vermont would
have been drained of 5000, 900 in specie. This is,
and inevitably must be- the operation Of direct tax
alton by the federal government upon Vermont; be
cause, being inland state, the amount dlsbursed
in it by the federal government, is comparatively
speaking, infinitely less than the amount drawn
from it.-Not with the state government; FOR it
dsburses l1ithia The State all that it raises by
ton. What say the people of Vermont Shall
go for this ruinous scheme? Shall we send
men to Congress who will have all the induce
ments of party interests and party associations TO
play second fiddle the devisers of this plan? Or
shall w go for the "good old way"-revenue by Il
Tariff? Let stick the safe aud well tried plan
in pi eierence TO exploded experiments No direct
taxation by the federal government! Insist upon
