Well. then. let US proceedsto distribute
this eighty-tive and half millions of mo
ney among the States. Partitioned among
these, according to the plan of the act we
have quoted, that is to say. according to
the federal representation of the lower
house of Congress the total amount
would be required to be divided into
234 aliquot parts, of which 13 parts or
$3.50. 600 would fall to Virginia. The
annual interest upon this last sum would
be $3.50. 900; and this is the sum that
would go 10 diminution Of the taxes lev
led upon the Virginia people. The state

We think we have now ascertained up
on the basis OF the most liberal possible
concessions. the largest putport of the
clamor of the Distributionists for the land
money. By blinking the widest absurd
tiles and supposing the most monstrous
impossibilities. we have at length got a
large sum for distribution. We have
seen it cannot be more than $4,75O. 900
upon the most exaggerated estimates.
and the annual aid it would afford in relief
of the burden Of taxation cannot be grea-
ter than $285.OOO. Whatever smaller
sum might be made the subject of divis-
ion, would, of course, make the scheme
Of distribution still weaker.
Let US see how much this sam would
relieve annually the tax payer ofVirginia.
Assuming tbs gross value of taxable pro.
perty of Virginia to be $3.50. 900. 900 Git
is at least five hundred millions the
