dues were not fired annuity OF invariable

sidered an equivalent for such dues, it must
1 also have been intended to partake OF the same
! nature; and this indeed is evident from the
statutes Of William and Mary which, in the
most express terms and dearest language, de-
clare that the assessment shall be made !" after
the rate Of four shillings for every twenty shll-

So, were let for, or worth to be let, at the time
of assessing thereof But the legislator Q,

unconstitutionally changed variable into u

creased Let us see what the result would
have been, had the old system been continued,
and real property had been rated from year to
gear, az is the modern practice with the assess
sed taxes
In 1892, the landed rental Of England and
Wales was estimated at Ten millions, and con
sequently a rate of four shilliDgs IN the pound
on that amount would have yielded two mil
lions. 1t being very difficult perhaps impossi-
BILE with perfect accuracy, to state the trne
compelled to take an average to illustrate our
argument and we pause ut 1912, because IN
that year Sir Robert Peel reverted to the old
principle in certain degree, by rc-establshing
the property and income tax. Weshall there
fore divide this whole term Of one. hundred and
fifty years into two periods tho one ranging
from 1892 to 1870, the other extending from
1870 to 1912 la 1870, Arthur Young the
celebrated agricnlturist and statistician, esti
mated the annual landed rental at sixty mil
lions; now, our calculation proceeds on the
following basis. By adding together the rent
ais of 1892 and 1910 and dividing the sum by
two, we obtain the average yearly rental Of
those seventy eight years, which amounts to
thirty-fve millions; u land tax Of four shillings
in the pound on thirty-five millions would pro-

THE PEOPLE OF Albany IN COUNCIL.

On Monday evening last, meeting of citi-
zens, without distinction Of party, met at the
Capitol, to protest against the Nebraska scheme.
The alias remarks that it was particularly in
teresting on account Of the number Of electors
of German birth present. But, that paper
adds, we know Of no portion Of our citizens
who approve Of the Nebraska bill. Any ex.
preston Of public meeting, less than the
whole body Of electors, must therefore, neces-
sarily be inadequate.
The meeting was called TO order by Mr.. Cal
vim Pepper.
Hon. William Parmelee, Mayor, was elected
President, and fifteen Vice Presidents and five
Secretaries were appointed.
