he. and his predecessor, in regard to this
question, '.let very well alone" as Pre-
sidcat JACKSON did, as President ApAMs
had done before him, and as President

effect OF agitating the question has been,
we believe, TO excite apprehenslons IN
the minds Of the peace-loving part of our
people-constituling, we trust and believe,
q large majority Of the whole-and thus
TO repress commercial enterprise and
more Or less embarrass ali descriptions Of
business. with the result, already, of

common stock of wealth and prosperity
which we have seen estimated, and we

The interest on the State Debt due the
lst inst, was promptly paid by the State
Treasurer, but we see doubts expressed
by several journals in regard to the ability
of the Treasury to meet the interest that
viii become due on the lst Of August.
The committees Of Ways and Means
in both Houses Of the Legislature have
had the subject Of Finance under con-
Fideration, and in the Senate Mr.. Bigler
has reported bill, allowing the holders
of real estate to pay their amount of the
State debt, and thus clear their properties
from State taxation, and levying tax of
and 10 per cent on all estates above a
certain amount. The first of these pro-
visions, being optional, we find no objec-
ton TO; but the latter is unjust and op-
Pressive.
Our own opinion is that the public
works ought TO be sold and the present
Stale Tax reduced so as to cover only
the interest upon the balance OF. the State
Debt. Then, by creating sinking fund
from PcnnsyIvania's share Of the pro-
cceds Of the public lands and tax upon
money brokers, &c, the remainder of the
State Debt might be paid off without inn
posing any further burdens upon the pee

We have thus the startling fac; pre-
sented to our view of deficiency of the
receipts of the Main Line, during the last
year, compared with the receipts of the
previous wear, OF S46,l50 CO, and of a
decrease iii the net revenue Of $685.
l73 a.
1t is due to say, that the revenue of the
Delaware Division has considerably in
creased during the past year. Last year,
that is the year ending the seth Novem-
Der 1874, the net revenue on this branch
of our Improvements, amounted to the
sum of SS6,407 10. According to the
report Of the Canal Commissioners, the
net revenue, during the year 1915, a.
mounted to SI05,59l sc; being an in
crease compared with the previous year
ofSI9,IS4 Al.
The same has been the case also with
the Susquehanna and North and West
branches. The net revenue of the i'm
proveme hts during the year 1874, amount
ed to 4,3l6 OS. For the year 1916
the net revenue from these divisions a
mounted to S76,512 55, being an increase
over the wear 1874 fS32, ,196 A. This
improvement in the revenue derived from
these divisions bears ample testimony TO
the beneficial operation of the Tariff of
1912 upon the great Coal and Iron opera
tons of these districts.
The original cost Of the Main Line Of
the public works was S14,36I 800, the
interest on which sum for the, at 5 per
cent, is S7I8,066 90. The net revenue
on this line for the past year. as stated in
the report, was S474,68l 10. Now de-
dpct this revenue from the interest on the
cost fthe work, and it viii be seen that
there Is deEcienr1 Of rereuue shorf Of
hhe interest of S253,3S4 81 which is
abstracted directly from the pockets of the
people in the shape of taxes! And this
10 keep up a set OF hungry Office holders
on the public works to plumber the treas
ury and control the elections. If any ar
gument were necessary at this day to
show the policy Of selling these works,
this surely should be sufficient one
To the ofiice-holders, we presume, it is
not sufficient, but the people, we think.
will soon let them know that ii is to
them.
Take the whole cost Of all the finished
lines, apply the same test, and the same
resulut Is produced. The revenue falls
short OF the interestnearly Four Hundred
ThGusaRd Dollars! And so it is every
yeer-and thus the people are taxed
every year to support the ofice-holders
on the public works. How long will
they continue thus passively TO bear the
burlhens imposed upon them by the so
called Democratic party Pa. Intel.
