they continue To enlarge the pile.

gist of its argument agaigsI lisiribu.
tipn. as we take the following extract
TO be. is plausible yst not strengthy.
1t saws that the democrats oppose "any
plan for taking n.nney out Of the peoples
pockets, BY taxation, ioreturn il to their
hands in the shape Of grants or chart,
ties. Ifgpe Geiieral Government parts
with lands and the revenues arising
from their sale, il must get back mo,
ney from sumo other source 10 supply
the deficiency. The only other source
is taxation; the only people upon whom
that taxation can Le levied, are the
very ones to whom the lands have been
donated"
Now the General Government has
been giving the lands to the Western
States for some time past, and yet we
have never heard of any resort to tax.
alton to make up the deGciegcv. WHY
should there be any such deficiency i
the lands were given to US?
We deny the Whole statement, and
the documents sustain Us. The whoie
revenue received from the lands for the
last fiscal year was only about u nil
lien of dullars. But at the end Of the
year there was surplus in the Trca-
sury Of moro than ST. 100000. Sup.
pose the government did not receive
a cent from the lands, where would be
the necessity of resorting either to tax
alton or to higher tariffs? Take away
the revenue from lands and there was
still a surplus IN the treasury of ,Earc
than $40 900. GOA.
But suppose It's government ,oas
compelled To resort to taxation, either
direct or indirect. What thens M.
body would be hurt by it, as can be
easily shawn. The people who receive
the lands would byill roads, open
harbors and rivers, aud thereby in
crease their wealth, ten, twenty, or an
hundrcd-IoI,, and Of course would be
athletic pay the taxes, Of which the Jour
nal speaks. with Ear mere ease than at
present. The taxes would not begin
to keep pace with the improvements,
as the Journsl, which flourisI,es in a
railroad region, ought to know, and
probably does know.
Ii its argument against aid by land
distribution were a good one, how
much greater force might it be urged
against State aid 10 internal improves
mentss And yet we think we have
known this same Wilmington Journal
to favor State and. And why !? Be-
cause the bnil,Iing of railroads, though
It may cause increased taxation at
first, increases the value Of property
IN a much greater ratio, increases po.-
pulation in still greater proportion,

increases the ability Of the taxed to
