Tax Proposition.

AS1N YIN "a r. ~ ~
The Chamber Of Commerce has adop-
ted memorial to Congress, proposing
the raising Of two hundred and fifty
millions Of dollars by taxation As follows:
From all sales Of goods and slerchan.
disc and other property at retail and
wholesale a tax Of one per cent, yielding
nemorialis,S believe the amount of
&ll5, 900 900; from The tariff the sum
OF $50, 100000; from tax on cotton
of two cents per pound $24 ,OO0,O 600;
from 4 tax on tobacco ct two cents per
pound s3O,ooO,0o0; from tax on
liquors 25 cents per gal, S2o,ooo,oOO
from an excise or tax on malt liquors, .
cents per gal IS 900 900; from direct
tax on real and personal property,
sl2,oOo,0oo. Total, 1894, 100000.
The above is 4 much more sensible
mode Of raising alrcvenue, than the one
proposed in the Tax bill which has pas
sed the House. The plea for the House
bill is, that it taxes luxuries Such may
lie its object but most assnredly il emu
mcrates and places a direct tax upon
many Of the necessities of life. But
whether it taxes only Injuries and
necessities, its tendency and direct
effect vii! be 10 tax the world renowned
industry and enterprise Of our go-ahead
American people. Save us from this,
for this purely American trait Of char
acter has made us the great nation We
really are. Let the Inventive wooden
nutmeg genius, not b. burdened by the
weight Of a feather aud it will develop Il
system that will meet the expenditures
of,he government, which shall not prove
4 serious burden, nor yet tax the varied
tastes nor nn,iring enterprise Of orr
people. A French writer. referring to
the House bill, says, We arc adopting
system Of taxation, the burden Of which
shall not pass away even with the next
generation, and We believe he perdicts
the truth.
Property is able to pay the tax. The
man tba: is worth but 500, is as able
to pay the taxes upon it, as the posses
scr Of $4,000 is to pay the taxes
upon bis money. We like however the
idea Of taxing few of the leading, and
most useless Injuries, as enumerated
above. We sincerely hope Congress
will reduce the proposition Of the New
York Chamber Of Commerce 10 bill
and pass it, 70 the exclusion Of tho one
which has passed The House.
