Tax on Retail Merchants.

Tax on Retail Merchants.
Notwishing to meddle with politics,
hnd having set and scratched our
head for hours to think UP a subject,
lind found nothing until We picked up
the Simon g. Ameriean" and saw a
few thoughts in it in reference totax-
ing merchants This subject we
claim as our legitimate property
that We have a perfect right to use it
none will deny. It is a well known
fact to all persons who buy, sell OF use
goods, that the person offering them
for sale is compelled TO lay on a per
cent sufficient to cover all expenses.
Now, if the retail merchant, in self
defence is compelled to put on this
per cent, wa ask in all can DOR who
has it to pay? Does not the consum-
er pay it? We answer emphatieally,
he does, or else the seller losses,
which in many cases be does. How
is this to be remedied? Let the
Legislature pass an act to exempt
goods from a second taxation which
have once been invoieed, and the
State tax paid by wholesale jobbers,
either in Nashville, or any other
market In the State. Such an ex-
enaption from second taxation would
tend to reduce the price of goods at
a retail counter, and can but COM
mend itself to every right thinking
mind who has the interest of the
whole State at heart. If the retail
merchants throughout Tennessee
could be indem nifed against this
practice Of having to pay a second
tax, they would then have some
thing to act as a stimulus to induce
them to buy all their goods, &c, at
home. There woald be few if any of
small capital, chat would spend a
month Of time a nd perhaps two per
cent. on amount of purchase in ex-
penses.of going to the East to lay
in their supplies. But knowing the
wholesale mercha ut has to pay State
tax, and therefore is compelled to
sell for profit sufficient to cover
that expense, and knowing that if
they buy their goods from him that
they have again TO pay the State tax
aud that not upon the original cost,
but upon the inv piee cost, many are
induced to undergo the toilofa trip to
the East TO buy, hoping by this to
be able to sell goods to their custo-
mers at living price, and make
something for tn mselves.
Let the ensuing Legislature ex-
empt all goods on which the State
tax has been paid from further taxa
ton, and the effect will be to double
the amount Of wholesale trade at
home, which will lessen the price, for
all will admit that ten per cent OH
two thousand dollars is better than
fifteen on half that amount. By such
an arrangement say some, the reve-
nue. of the State would be diminished
We think differently; it weuld |rath-
er be increased; country mere ants
would at once turn their attention to |
home trade, and all their s supplies
would be bought at the diff brent I
points where they are kept on sale,
and thus the in crease in the amount
sold would very soon reach a sum
sufficient to mall Ike up for all defcien-
cy caused by tn loss of second taxa
ton
