Facts for the Tax-Payers Of Monroe
County.

The following communication is from
the Monroe Journal, and is worthy of care
fal. reading. While writer's upon political
economy are speculating on the subject of
high taxes, and urging the necessity Of a
reduction in the salary of the officers Of
government, they seem to have lost sight of
the fact, that it costs both our State and the
Satirn, ore half cs much money to support
"KiSo ALcouoL" as it does to support our
entire National and State Goyernments.-
Thearticle is in many respects as applica-
bic to Jefferson, as it is to Monroe County.
"Mr. EplroR.-It is seldom that | at
tempt to write anything for the public, e.
pscially such as the caption Of this article
would suggest; as | um not now nor never
was a politician. But we daily hear clam
ors against our high taxes, and indeed, not
without just cause. Our taxes at the pres
ent time are truly enormous, and we daily
hear curses and unuthemas pronounced
against the public officers, the adninistra-
tions, &c, And shall not attempt to say
whether our present system of Government
could DO carried on with less expenditure,
or not, but shall leave that to older and wi
sersheads than mine to deter mine, und shall
pass to notice one Of the principal drains
upon our public treasury. The denouncers
and tho advocates Of the present system Of
taxation, in enumeratiDg the various pur-
poses for which we are nt present taxed
by turns curse and bless our public officers
our public works, our present school law
&c. But there is another source which
we scarcely ever hear mentioned, and it is
Of this that ! intend particularly to speak.
